Op-ed:
Keystone is Dead...But Only Until January 2017

Barack HUSSEIN Obama has been president for almost seven full
years now and in this time this man has done every and anything...has
used every and any excuse...to kill projects that would be good for
the American economy...projects that would help stimulate economic
growth. And he held true to form when just last Friday he vetoed the
building of the Keystone XL oil pipeline citing climate change as his
main reason why followed by concerns about the impact on the
environment, and a Republican agenda that over-hyped the pipeline's
benefits.
In other words, TransCanada's $8 billion project whose 1,179 mile
pipeline would have carried 800,000 barrels a day of crude-oil from
the Canadian oil sands to the Gulf Coast...a project that would have
created thousands of American jobs, pored millions of dollars into
our economy, and helped to cut our dependence on foreign oil...the
brethren's oil...has been vetoed primarily because of the WEATHER.
“America is now a global leader when it comes to taking
serious action to fight climate change...and, frankly, approving this
project would have undercut that global leadership,” Obama
said as he tried to make us believe that climate change is anything
but the WEATHER.
And know his veto...a veto we knew
would come from day one...came conveniently mere weeks before a
December U(seless) N(ations) summit meeting on climate change. And to
that affect Obama feared approval of this pipeline would have damaged
what he wants as part of his legacy on environmental issues...that
being his helping to broker what he calls a “historic agreement”
committing the world’s nations...committing the U.S...to set in
place new policies to counter global warming...to counter the
'WEATHER.'
And herein lies the farce behind what
Obama claims is the main reason for vetoing the Keystone XL
Pipeline. Remember, there is NO such thing as global warming or its
newest moniker de-jour...climate change...for it's the
WEATHER...naturally occurring WEATHER cycles and NOTHING more. And
Obama's excuse that rising sea levels caused by melting glacial ice
is a result of climate change is the same excuse the eco-wackos and
'know-NOTHING-at-alls' like Al Gore love to cite as the chief effect
of climate change. But I hate to tell Obama and his cronies...NO
actually I enjoy telling Obama and his cronies...the fact is that
most, if NOT all, tide gauges show NO discernible rise in sea levels at
all, and NONE show any acceleration over the past 20 years. In fact,
last year a record amount of sea ice was recorded in Antarctica, ice
increased in the Arctic, and record snows and cold were recorded
worldwide courtesy of a naturally occurring Polar Vortex. And the
once endangered polar bears are now thriving and increasing in record
numbers, while Lake Superior had only three months in the entirety of
2014 that was completely ice-free.
So much for Obama's rising sea levels
and melting glacial ice as the reason for vetoing the building of the
Keystone XL Pipeline.
Another fact often
touted by the climate change/global warming 'bunch'...and another
Obama reason NOT to build the pipeline...is that man caused the
increase in CO2 levels worldwide and that those levels will continue
to rise to dangerous levels if said pipeline comes online. Well
here's a shocker 'the bunch' does NOT want you to know...last year
NASA launched a satellite specifically to measure CO2
levels around the globe, with the assumption that most of the CO2
would be coming from the industrialized northern hemisphere. But much
to the climate change/global warming 'bunch's' chagrin, the
satellite's findings showed rising CO2 levels emanated instead from
the rainforests in South America, Africa, and China. And why
so...because rising CO2 levels are due to the naturally occurring and
ongoing decay of plant and animal matter. So, Obama loses again on
his argument that Keystone would increase CO2 levels.
And let's NOT forget that Obama sings
the doomsayers line that climate change/global warming has caused
“the forced migration of millions of people” due
to escalating heat...which too has been proven false as we are
actually entering another 'little ice age.' Saying the heat has
caused a widespread agricultural/economic collapse that could, in
time, happen here is also NOT true as there is NO widespread
agricultural collapse other than certain crops being affected by the
cyclic droughts and floods that have occurred in certain areas of the
world since man first learned to till the soil.
In fact, the Obama
touted 'supposed' economic collapse is NOTHING but a manufactured
crisis to suck-in tax
dollars as the world's most powerful governments...including our
own...use climate change/global warming to gain more power through
taxes...taxes such as the 'Cap and Trade' and the Carbon Tax. And
remember, the global elitists...Obama included...actually profit from
carbon taxes and other 'so-called' green energy laws as they buy into the
nonsense that the structural causes of climate change are linked to
the current so-called capitalist hegemonic (authoritarian) system, as
bloviated at last summer's gathering of environmental groups in
Venezuela...groups whose main goal was and is to attack free-market
capitalism.
So while Obama says the environment
coupled with climate change/global warming is his reason for vetoing
the building of the Keystone XL Pipeline...the stuff of fairy tales,
myths, and lies...the scientific truth is that the Earth heats up and
cools down in cycles as our planet's axis tilts and as our orbit
moves closer than farther away from the sun. And NOT to be forgotten
is that the sun itself has active and dormant states as well,
including periods of solar flares that also affect the climate here
on Earth. And Obama knows this yet he still vetoed the pipeline
simply because his 'brethren' would NOT be happy...NOT happy at all.
Saying the pipeline "would not
serve the interests of the United States” that it is “not
in the country's national security interest,” Obama once again
proves where his true allegiances lie for how can cutting our
dependence on foreign oil NOT be in America's best interest
especially when said oil can be drilled for, processed, and refined,
right here in the U.S.A...along with creating all the jobs that go
along with it. Also citing falling gasoline prices as another
argument against the pipeline...prices which can go up at the whim of
OPEC...Obama added that he believed Keystone has had an
"over-inflated role in our political discourse,” and
that “the project's potential to create jobs and the potential
environmental threats were exaggerated.”
A statement like that sort of plays both sides against the middle
I would say.
'Political discourse' played to the hilt for while
environmentalists squawked for years that extracting petroleum from
the Canadian oil sands would produce about 17% more greenhouse
gases/carbon pollution than the process of extracting conventional
oil...it would be "unlikely to significantly impact the rate
of extraction in the oil sands," were
the exact words in the 11-volume State Department report
concerning the pipeline. And the report also showed that construction
of the pipeline itself would have little if any impact on whether
that type of oil was burned, because it was already being extracted
and moved to the U.S. market by other means, as in via rail and
existing pipelines.
There goes Obama's claim about the negative environmental impact
of the pipeline.
Obama also claimed that by "most realistic
estimates... maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline
would be created.” And to that I say 'LIAR' as TransCanada's
CEO Russ Girling, said the project would create 42,000
jobs..."ongoing and enduring" jobs. And former House
Speaker John Boehner said before retiring that, "The nearly
six-year delay in approving Keystone is costing Americans more than
100,000 jobs." Both a huge
difference from Obama's low-ball 2,000 jobs figure.
And the report also showed that NOT
only would above said 42,000 jobs be created...'spin-off' jobs
supported by construction workers who purchase materials for said
project or spend their wages in the economy would be created as well,
resulting in significant economic growth to the tune of about $3.4
billion or approximately 0.2 percent of the U.S. GDP...so the jobs
excuse of Obama's clearly does NOT hold true either.
As for Obama's bloviations that the
State Department findings do NOT show a lowering of oil or gas
prices, or a significant reduction in American dependence on foreign
oil, once again, and might I say par for the course, he is LYING.
Currently oil prices are still controlled by OPEC although their
hold on price control is slipping somewhat due to the ongoing
problems in the Middle East. And while oil prices should work off the
premise of 'supply and demand'...as in when 'supply and demand'
increases prices should drop and decrease. However, right now OPEC
retains control of oil prices through a 'pricing-over-volume'
strategy, because the fact is that oil remains the worldwide
'preferred' source of energy...windmills and solar panels don't
cut it...and that translates to demand NOT volume controlling the
prices.
But a wrench of sorts has been thrown into the mix with the
discovery of shale in the U.S. And as per the Energy Information
Administration, thanks to that discovery, this year U.S. oil
production is expected to reach 9.7 million barrels, surpassing the
9.6 million barrels per day that was produced in 1972. And we are NOT
the only country now getting oil from shale...over the past two years
China and Argentina have drilled more than 475 shale wells between
them. Also, Australia, Columbia, Poland, and Algeria, are exploring
the possibility of extracting oil from shale...meaning those countries
demand for Arab oil will also be dropping resulting in OPEC losing
even more control over the pricing of exported oil.
And that scenario could work here as well for the more shale oil
we produce coupled with the more actual oil wells we drill...the less
we will have to depend on foreign oil...on Arab oil...on the
brethren's oil. And what extra oil we do need...if we actually need
any...is much better coming from America-friendly Canada (we
currently import 36% of our oil from Canada but unfortunately many
U.S. refineries ship the bulk of it abroad in the guise of refined
fuel) than it is from let's say Saudi Arabia...or worse from
Iran...which thanks to Obama's very bad nuclear deal will soon be
flooding the market with millions of stored barrels of oil. And while
that might lower gas prices temporarily the only ones truly profiting
from that will be Iran itself...America's enemy, Obama's friend.
And while the U.S. is sitting on the world’s largest untapped
natural oil reserve...a reserve that would NOT only mitigate the over
$400 billion sent overseas to other countries, but a reserve that
could create millions of jobs and put the country back on a
sound financial footing, Obama still refuses to do anything about it,
instead willingly keeping us dependent on his brethren's oil. And
true to course, while 61+% of Americans support the building of the
pipeline...with those NOT supporting it being the wacko
environmentalists, the liberal progressives, and the socialist
sorts...all of whom hate everything about our capitalistic based
society...Obama decides to side with them instead of with the wants
of 'We the People.'
So by his vetoing the Keystone XL Pipeline...which helps the
brethren continue their reign over America's energy needs, and in turn allows them to both control and manipulate America's role in
the Middle East...the true agenda of Barack HUSSEIN Obama is once
again in the open for all to see...and for Congress NOT to do a damn
thing about. Hurry up January 20, 2017...just saying.
