- There is, at present, no shortage of oil supply, nor is their anticipated to be an oil shortage within the next ten years based upon current consumption forecasts;
- Tankers and other storage units are swollen with oil, as they have been for these past several months;
- Drilling for offshore oil would not yield any appreciable results for five to ten years, and the contracts for the drilling, transport and refinement would go to the same oiligopolists who are controlling and manipulating the oil prices now;
- Congress is not truly Democratically-controlled. All governmental decisions and functions (including legislative, judicial and law enforcement), are nowformulated, carried out and overseen by the Executive Branch under the guise of National Security, Executive Priviledge or some other dramatic means of bypassing all checks and balances. Congress does little, if anything, except talk and take vacations. In Congress, generally speaking, Republicans are powered by manure, and Democratics are powered by wind. Neither has any policy power, however, at all;
- The oil crisis was manufactured by a small group of American-based international oil companies acting in collusion with the tacit blessing of the current administration;
- As a young syndicator of oil exploration deals, our President, raising a great deal of investor money and produced more dry holes than a bargeload of Immodium. People used to joke about this. Other people used to even be jailed (but not necessrily at Gitmo) for that kind of thing. It is good to be a part of a powerful family;
- Our President wants to put in his "last licks" at the evil Democrats for the benefit of his family's investment interests, and as a lubricant (ahem) to slide Mr. John McCain into the presidency, which could at very least, help the incumbent to maintain some status quo profits in armament, major international construction, and the "awl bidness".
As for THORIUM ENERGY, INC., our philosophy is somewhat simpler. Put succinctly...
FORGET DRILLING AND START DIGGING.
We are winning friends daily. We build bridges instead of fences.

p.s. Jack Lifton has noted that a promising and propitious pro-thorium article has been posted in a highly-conservative but very well-regarded and extremely popular blog which has been resistant to acknowledge the seriousness of the Thorium Proposition for a long while. http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/ is one of the most widely-read and acclaimed conservative blogs in the realm of the Blogosphere. Read the first article entry for August 23rd. Keep thinking Thorium.
*p.p.s. The well-known and oft-used "Oscar Mayer Strategy" has to do with the offering up of baloney for the public's consumption.
