The current oil prices are being manipulated by certain OPEC states,
notably Saudi Arabia, by oil corporations, such as EXXON, by affiliated
industries, such as Halliburton,

Doesn't the Bush family make a $million or so every time the price of oil
goes
up $1 a bbl? They ought to be on their knees thanking Soros if this is
true.

Baloney. If a foreign entitity is purposely manipulating the price of oil
in order to influence our elections, then you, as an American, should be
absolutely outraged. That's economic terrorism.

I didn't say single-handedly. He represents a group that has in excess
of
$100 billion to invest. Futures options allow someone to leverage their
money without putting a lot of money up front. It's absolutely
possible...and likely. Just wait and see.

To spend $100 billion on oil "futures", (which are highly leveraged),
wouldn't
that effectively buy up most of the world's production? Gaining a monopoly
on a
resource

They'll never take delivery of the oil. They'll dump the
contracts...initially at a huge profit. But when prices come crashing down,
they'll be stuck holding a bunch of contracts that will never be exercised.
That's the price guys like Soros are willing to pay in order to defeat
Bush. And you thought 527 spending was bad!

Smearing the man won't help Bush that much (although his association to

How
about the revelation that is about to come out linking Soros (and certain
countries) to the current record prices of oil futures. How forgiving do
you think Americans will be when they find out that other countries, and
Kerry's biggest supporter are manipulating oil futures, hurting the
American economy, and costing them money in their retirement accounts and
at the pump all in the name of defeating Bush on November 2nd? *THAT's*
the October surprise. Why will it work in Bush's favor? Americans won't
stand for external forces meddling in our elections.

LOL, even if true, it's way to complicated. 42% of this country still
believe Saddam was directly involved with 9/11 and you're going to try to
sell an oil futures conspiracy in seven days.

You don't need to sell it. People watch the news and know that
*speculation* is what's driving oil prices so high. Right now they are
looking for somebody to blame. They'll conveniently be given Kerry's
biggest contributor and notorious speculator as the bad guy...just days
before the election. That's good for a couple of point bump for Bush.

Is George Soros a foreign entity?

Last time an entity, (Enron), manipulated the price of energy (electricity),
that entity was invited to serve as a special consultant to VP Cheney as he
planned the Bush Ad's energy policy. Suppose that Bush, if he wins next week,
will invite Soros and his cartel to do the same? :-)

You don't know what you're talking about. Saudi Arabia has greatly
increased supply to far outpace increased demand. The current prices
aren't a supply and demand issue. There's plenty of supply. What's
driving the prices is speculative purchasing of future oil contracts by
some anti-Bush folks.

If you were smart, you'd short oil futures for the weeks after the
election. No matter who wins, they'll come crashing down...and Soros and
company will walk away that much richer.

Now I'm confused. If Soros is buying oil futures driving up the price,
how is he going to make money when the price crashes?

He won't. Although he'll make money *initially* when he starts dumping his
contracts after the election, when prices finally crash, he'll be stuck with
a bunch of contracts that he'll never exercise. That's the price he has
decided to pay in order to defeat Bush.


"Asked whether he would trade his $7 billion fortune to unseat Bush, Soros
opened his mouth. Then he closed it. The proposal hung in the air: Would he
become poor to beat Bush? He said, "If someone guaranteed it."

High oil prices are the price we pay for having Iran
(http://www.iranian.ws) and Saudia Arabia (
http://www.whoisbush.com/oil.html ) in the coalition fighting against
terror.

Enron was a shining star at that time. Was a good Clinton administration
friend also.
