Who Has the Most Oil

Our Govt.

Try not to get angry....if you can. What a mega scam..

This report hasn't made an iota of difference since nothing is being

done to recover any of this oil as far as I know.

American & Canadian Oil - can you believe this!!!!!!?

OIL - you better sit down... Here's an interesting read, important and

verifiable information : About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together."

Please read below.

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only

scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana ...... Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's

Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than

$5..3 trillion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see

their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the

Montana Legislature's financial analyst. "

This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly

referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada ..

For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end.

Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves....

And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should because it's from 2006!

U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online 4/20/2006  Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

- 18-times as much oil as Iraq

- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait

- 22-times as much oil as Iran

- 500-times as much oil as Yemen

- and it's all right here in the Western United States.

HOW can this BE?

HOW can we NOT BE extracting this?

Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to

help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think

again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

Got your attention yet?

Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along.

If you don't take a little time to do this, Then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices by doing

NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book. By the way...this is all true.

THANK YOU AMERICA ! Dear American Taxpayer For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in Spain . My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night private 3-story villa at a 5-Star luxury hotel. Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times. By the way, if you happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol , I highly recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant in Marbella ; great lobster with rice and oysters! I'm ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha's Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you're not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it? Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate according to Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates, but they are close. That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint. I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days. Cordially, Michelle (Moochelle) Obama P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip to India from which we just returned! P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to Martha's Vineyard; it was fabulous. And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha's Vineyard so we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn't take him on Air Force One because he might pee on some wires or something. P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000 square foot house was great! P.SSSs don't forget my ski trip to Vail this winter and now the girls and I are in Africa with my mom. All this while Barack golf's and campaigns to keep my trips coming for the next 4 years ! Love ya! Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic times equally! Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.  mo SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN NOW STAND UP, SPEAK UP.   Is this not the best thank you note?

Santa Barbara

Please pass this to everyone you know. The ACLU is simply anti-American.

Santa Barbara The first picture and the last picture were taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier. There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends. They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it.          Every cross has the name, rank, D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.          Very moving, very powerful, so many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.  Amazing!         Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed?                                         They filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress.          The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the ACLU.                                   Keep forwarding this e-mail to others. I'm not breaking this one. I'm asking that you not break it either.                                  If I get it 1000 times, I'll forward it 1000 times. Please send this on after a short prayer for our soldiers. Please don't break it!        Prayer:         "Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need. These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."         GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE
Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future
she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions  are
just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash
for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want
steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or
use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?

You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair.
Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your
own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week
or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways
of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.
We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo
and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of
the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before
you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider
that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing
absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at
least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current
system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes,
that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will
voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't
welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Now, if you have the guts - PASS IT ON...

Do you think Obama can strike a deal??

You should know this too.

'The Mahdi does not negotiate. Neither should we'

By CHARLES S. FADDIS | Special to The Tampa Tribune
Published: February 05, 2012

» 3 Comments | Post a Comment

Several years ago, prior to my retirement from the CIA, I was meeting with a senior Iranian asset in the Middle East. I had finished debriefing him on the intelligence he had to provide, and we had launched into a more expansive conversation about the overall direction of American policy toward Iran. I was trying to explain the rationale behind our sanctions regime and the thought process that had led us to conclude that we could persuade the Islamic Republic of Iran to modify its behavior.

 

The asset interrupted me. "You really don't have any idea who you are dealing with, do you?" he asked. I told him I was not sure I understood what he meant.

 

The source elaborated. We were under the illusion we were dealing with rational actors. We were not. We were under the illusion we were playing a game, which would stretch out over many years. Our adversaries in Iran shared no such belief. 

 

They expected this conflict to reach its climax in the very near future.

 

They also knew, to a moral certainty, that they would win.

 

Iran is an overwhelmingly Islamic nation, and almost all Iranians belong to the Twelver sect of the Shia branch of Islam. This sect awaits the return of the 12th Imam, or Mahdi, a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammed anointed by Allah himself. According to the Twelvers, the Mahdi has been in hiding in caves since the 9th century.

 

The Mahdi has been hidden for 1,200 years now, but he will return just before the Day of Judgment. According to the Hadith, his return will be preceded by three years of chaos, violence and cataclysmic events. He will rule over the world for a period of seven years, eliminate all tyranny and oppression, and usher in an era of peace. He is, in many ways, the Muslim equivalent of the Jewish Messiah or the Second Coming of Christ. He is, however, the only one of these apocalyptic figures who expressly intends violent world conquest.

 

Some Twelvers, including the current president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameinei, believe that they are to prepare the way for the return of the Mahdi. In order to do so, they are to bring on the state of chaos and destruction, which will precede the Madhi's return. The worse things get; the faster they win.

 

The source's point was not simply to remind me of the tenets of the Twelver sect, with which I was already familiar. It was to stress the literal sense in which these tenets were understood by Ahmadinejad, Khameinei and their supporters. These were not, the source stressed, metaphors or parables. Ahmadinejad did not understand the story of the Mahdi to be a reference to some end state in which the world would live in peace and harmony. He understood it in a completely literal, simplistic way. He accepted it word for word as the absolute truth.

 

The Mahdi was, in effect, an Islamic superman. When he returned he would crush the infidels and apostates and create an Islamic empire that would control the entire planet. No one would be able to stand against him.

 

And, he was coming soon. As the source noted, the "End of Days" were not events of some distant future. They were around the corner. He guessed that Ahmadinejad probably thought in terms of a reappearance of the Mahdi within 18 months to two years.

 

Negotiation is all about leverage. Go onto a car lot and try to strike a deal with a guy who can hardly keep up with demand, and you're not going to have a lot of luck. Ask a guy who hasn't sold a car in month to make you an offer, and it may well be your lucky day.

 

Sanctions don't provide a lot of leverage over individuals who know as an article of faith that their secret weapon is about to emerge from his hiding place and slay their enemies.

 

Negotiation is also about rationality. At the height of the Cold War, no matter how bad relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were, we could always count on the Russians to be cold, calculating and rational. They might wish our destruction with every fiber of their beings, but they had no delusions about divine intervention. They understand, perhaps better than we did, the brutal, hard calculus demanded by reality.

 

None of that applies to our confrontation with Iran. Until such time as there has been a true sea change inside of Iran, negotiation and discussion is largely useless. We may choose to engage in it so that we are seen by the rest of the world as flexible and open to dialogue. We may choose to engage in it in order to buy time. We should be under no illusion that there is any real chance of such dialogue leading to a meaningful, lasting modification of Iranian behavior.

 

None of this is to suggest that we ought, therefore, rush to engage the Iranians in a conventional military conflict. We could no doubt make quick work of what passes for an Iranian Navy and clear the skies of Iranian aircraft in short order, but unless we are prepared to physically occupy Iran, neither of those things will solve our problem. We will still be faced with an implacable foe. And, in any event, another major conventional commitment of resources at this time in American history is probably the last thing we need.

 

It is an argument for a completely pragmatic, realpolitik approach to Iran. Negotiations will not work. Sanctions may physically weaken the Islamic regime and limit its ability to do harm, but they will not make it change course. We would prefer not to have to go to war. So, we should, therefore, take all measures short of open war to actively frustrate the objectives of the regime.

 

What that means in practice is this. If the Iranians need materials for nuclear weapons programs or other military purposes, we should deny them to them. To the extent possible we should look for all available means of dismantling and handicapping existing weapons programs. If necessary, and consistent with our laws and values, we should deny the Islamic regime access to the personnel it needs to continue to chart its present course. In other words, we should accept that we cannot expect the Iranians to alter their behavior or their attitudes and focus instead on physically preventing them from achieving their goals.

 

I have no illusions about the implications of the course of action I am suggesting. It is, in all likelihood, a recommendation that we conduct what amounts to a shadow war against Iran for the foreseeable future. However open-ended and however unsatisfactory this course of action may be, however, it is infinitely preferable to the alternative, which is to allow the Iranians to arm themselves with nuclear weapons and to continue to destabilize the Middle East and Central Asia.

The Mahdi does not negotiate. Neither should we.
