International Conflict, Western World Threats and Geopolitical Intelligence
The surging price of oil, from just over $10 a barrel a decade ago to $100 Wednesday, is altering the wealth and influence of nations and industries around the world.
…
The long oil-price boom is posing wrenching challenges for the world’s poorest nations, while enriching and emboldening producers in the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela. Their increasing muscle has a flip side: a decline of U.S. clout in many parts of the world.

Russian economy: safe haven or oil bubble? As the US economy has already fallen into a recession, according to the majority of economists, and the European one doesn't feel well, the so-called BRIC countries -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- are attracting more and more foreign investors. Is Russia a truly safe haven in the troubled waters of the world economy? How will the current crisis affect Russian economic development? To answer these questions, our guest today is Aleksey Novikov. Tags: BRIC, development, economic, economy, Gurnov, Novikov, Russian, Spotlight |

Meltdown: The Economy & Oil. PART 1 Meltdown: The Economy & Oil In a special program looking at issues surrounding oil & the economy, trends analyst Gerald Celente appeared for the full show. He was joined by investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts in the third hour, and oil expert Matt Savinar in the last hour. The dollar has lost 41% of its value during the Bush administration, and we're going to see company failures so big they won't be able to be bailed out, like Bear Stearns, said Celente. He cited the Federal Reserve, which functions as a private company with no congressional oversight, as one of the major problems. Predicting food & gas riots, as well as tax revolts, Celente suggested diversifying your savings among a number of banks, if you have more than $100,000. Catherine Austin Fitts commented that the...

US economy and policy is related to oil prices. Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT... I think the majority of the problem is with the Democrats, however I consider Bush and many of the current so-called Republicans to be such watered-down Republicans that they are practically Democrats. Though I think the preponderance of the blame belongs to the Democrats, the Republicans have compromised and watered-down their principles so much that I blame both parties. It is primarily the Liberals that are making it hard because they demonize "big oil". As a result we haven't been drilling for oil or working on our refining capacity. On the contrary, Congress has kept us from drilling and has discouraged big business from seeking out new oil. Congress also has been pushing environmental laws that discourage drilling...

McCain's Green Economy: Drill, Baby, Drill When it comes to the environment, John McCain only has the interests of Big Oil at heart. That's why he has over 22 Big Oil lobbyists advising him. That's why he favored lifting the moratorium on off-shore drilling -- a move that prompted Big Oil to donate over $1 million to his campaign. And thanks to the League of Conservation Voters, we've got the proof! The senate will likely be voting next week on these issues. Please call Senator McCain's office in Washington (202-224-2235), and tell him to stop siding with Big Oil and start supporting clean energy. Make everyone aware of McCain's deep ties to Big Oil by forwarding this video to five people and telling them to do the same.

The slippery slope of the US economy - 07 Jun 08 Falling stock markets, rising unemployment and soaring oil prices. The world's biggest economy is on the slippery slope to recession. The US economy has suffered massively. Oil has increased to a record $139 a barrel, the dollar has slumped, and as a result, share prices have plummeted. Worse still, George Bush, the US president, has announced the monthly US unemployment rate has taken its biggest leap in two decades. Rob Reynolds reports.

GOOD: Oil Addiction http://good.is/ If we're addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.

Carnegie Mellon's Lester Lave -- End Reliance on Foreign Oil Lester Lave, University Professor of Economics at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon, says U.S. policy should aim to stop its reliance on foreign oil. Instead of trying to make gasoline cheap, Lave urges enactment of a steep gas tax. Lave argues such a tax would boost national security, encourage purchase of fuel efficient vehicles and provide a stimulus to the economy.

President Bush at press conference on oil, economy, and Iraq President Bush reiterated his call on Tuesday for Congress to lift the legislative ban on coastal oil exploration. He also assured investors that the government's rescue plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did not constitute a bailout. He added that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SRP) is for emergencies, and doesn't address the fundamental issue of gasoline prices. President Bush also said the government's rescue package for the nation's two largest mortgage companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are only temporary and that shareholders still own the company.
