Support an Open Fuel Standard

Posted: 03 Nov 2008 12:59 PM CST

"THIS YEAR, the United States and other countries will send OPEC countries more money than the United States taxpayers send our own Department of Defense," says Anne Korin in the video below.

This can change. It costs very little for car manufacturers to tweak their engines so they can burn several different kinds of fuels — in other words, to create a single engine that can burn ethanol and methanol and gasoline, whichever is available or cheapest. Car manufacturers already make some of their cars with this tweak. If car manufacturers were required to do this by the government (just as they are required to build in seat belts), fuel companies would have enough confidence to build fueling stations for alternative fuels, and then what would happen? The different kinds of fuels could compete.


Right now oil is a fuel monopoly. It is the only fuel most cars use. This monopoly is controlled by OPEC. They don't produce all the oil on the market, but they produce such a large amount that they can change the global price of oil when they wish. This means the global price of oil is controlled by Jihadis, and they are using their oil monopoly to do two things at once: To fund a global jihad, and to weaken the free world.

You can do something right now to push the U.S. to adopt an open fuel standard: Go to Nozzle Rage and click on the red button in the upper right hand corner to put the pressure on your representatives to get this law passed. Then encourage everyone you know to do so, and encourage them to encourage everyone they know. Let's get this done, pronto!

The idea of "drill here, drill now" will help remove money from OPEC and put it into the U.S. market, which is a good thing, but it still leaves OPEC controlling oil prices, which means Jihadis are controlling the price of transportation, which means Jihadis are controlling the global economy. "Drill here, drill now" is a good thing to do, but it is not the whole solution. Whenever more oil is added to the global market, OPEC reduces its output accordingly. Their control of their output controls the price. It is oil jihad. We need to defeat it with freedom. In this case, a free market competition between transportation fuels.

In the U.S., we only use 2% of our oil creating electricity. Building more nuclear power plants or wind turbines won't help much with the transportation issue until more cars and trucks are electric. But making more fuel options possible (by mandating the open fuel standard) will strongly impact the transportation issue quickly, giving us freedom from the monopoly, and freedom from control by OPEC, while cutting off a significant flow of money to people committed to sabotaging Western democracies.

Watch Anne Korin speak about the problem and the solution in the video below. Korin is the director of policy and strategic planning at Institute for the Analysis of Global Security and the editor of Energy Security: Click here to see the video.


That is the first video of several. You can watch the rest here: Anne Korin's solution to OPEC's monopoly and oil jihad.

The simplest, cheapest, quickest way to eliminate OPEC's control on the world economy is making it a law that cars must be made with an open fuel standard. Do you want to cut off money going to Jihadis bent on the West's destruction? Write to your representatives now, and please urge everyone you know to do so too at: Nozzle Rage.

Terror Free Oil

As soon as I know for sure where I can buy my petrol that is "Terror Free" that will be the only place I will be making a purchase. I urge every Aussie to start doing the same. I look forward to the emails so I can learn more about this.

Welcome to the Daily Reckoning Australia... your free report will arrive in your email inbox within 15 minutes.

But before you go, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the Daily Reckoning.

Your daily edition is written specifically for investors who value independent analysis, clearly expressed ideas, and good writing. In a market with so few media voices, we don't pretend to report the news or be objective. You can find out what happened in any newspaper and on virtually any website. News has no value these days. But genuine insight does.

Our mission is to tell you the news with all the scepticism, humour, and insight our combined experience in the market allows. We try and tell you which stories are worth paying attention to, and what tomorrow's headlines might be. After all, investing is not about what happened yesterday, but how you can plan for tomorrow successfully, growing your capital along the way.

Our daily focus is on Australia (I liked the investment prospects so much in Australia I moved here myself after spending two years in London and Paris!) but because the Daily Reckoning is global in scope - with satellite offices in Baltimore, London, Paris, and New York - you'll also have a valuable perspective on North American and European markets. Let me tell you what you can expect from here on out.
What to Expect From The Daily Reckoning

Starting in the next two days, you'll get the Daily Reckoning each day (Monday - Friday) around noon Eastern Time, written by our team in Melbourne Australia and our founder Bill Bonner, wherever he happens to be. Bill has over 30 years experience investing in and writing about markets. He's also the author of two New York Times best-sellers (Empire of Debt, and Financial Reckoning Day). His third book, Mobs, Messiahs & Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics was recently released and is climbing the best seller charts.

From time to time, we will send you special investment alerts about subjects that may be of particular interest to you. With over 1 million global readers, we realise that not every investment alert will be of interest, or even appropriate for each of our readers. But our goal is to give you as many of our new and best ideas as we can, and let you decide which ones fit best with your own financial plan.

You may have questions about how your email address will be used. As a regular e-mail user myself, I appreciate those questions. Let me assure you we won't rent or sell your e-mail address to anyone... we mean it!

The Daily Reckoning doesn't cost you a single cent... it NEVER will, as we're entirely supported by the three small ads you will see in each issue. Each advertiser is thoroughly vetted before we run their ad. We accept ads based on one simple rule: if it's good enough for our mums, it's good enough for our readers.

If you like what you've read and find it valuable, we invite you to share it with your friends and family. You can do so by forwarding a particular day's issue, or simply directing your friends to our site at http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au to sign up themselves.

Terror Free Oil
Posted: 24 Oct 2008 05:07 PM CDT

WE ARE essentially funding our enemies. We buy oil from Saudi Arabia, for example, and they use that money to build mosques in our countries — mosques which promote the following ideas to their Muslim attendees: keep yourselves separate from non-Muslims and do not assimilate into the culture; gain political power; agitate for concessions; and work toward the long-range goal of replacing the democratic government with a government ruled by Shari'a law.

We are funding this. If we didn't buy their oil, we'd put a huge damper on their activities. And they wouldn't have so much money to afford building madrassas all over the world teaching hatred for the West.

The Terror-Free Oil Initiative came up with a solution: They research where gas stations get their oil so we can choose to buy our gas from stations that do not send our money to Jihadis bent on our destruction. They've even opened their own gas station. Here's a five-minute clip from MSNBC about the new gas station (click here to watch the video):
Terror-Free Oil Refuses Financial Help from Corporation Connected to Radical Saudi Financier | Movies & TV | SPIKE.com

This is one of the most positive, practical actions I have yet to see. Please look up your local gas stations, find out where you can buy terror-free gas, and tell all your friends. Sooner is better than later.

I looked up every one of the gas suppliers on the list and none of them sell gas in my area. So I wrote to The Terror-Free Oil Initiative, and Alex Porter wrote back to me, giving me a link to a list of oil companies showing the percentage of their oil they get from the Persian Gulf.

In my area there are mostly Shell and Chevron stations. I've used Chevron for many years, but looking at this list, I discovered they are one of the highest in the percentage of their oil they get from the Middle East, so I switched to Shell, which has one of the lowest percentages.

Another thing you can do to help cut off money to Jihadis is drive slower. During the oil crisis in the 1970's, the speed limit was dropped to 55. A lot of people complained about it, but it did save a lot of gas. And it still does. So even while you're driving, you reduce our reliance on oil if you drive 55.

It feels good to be doing something. Each mile you drive 55, you are taking money out of the pockets of people trying to destroy us. And you can educate yourself while you're at it by listening to good audiobooks. And if you keep your car tuned, it will use less gas too. Of course, you can also ride your bike and walk when you have the opportunity.

You can also urge your representatives to support the "open fuel standard," which means mandating car manufacturers to make cars that can run on many different fuels — cars that can run on ethanol and methanol and gasoline, for example — rather than only gasoline. Check out NozzleRage.com to find out how. They make it easy to write to your representatives.

You can do something very simple right now: Forward this article to ten people. The more people who use terror-free gas, the more financial incentive gas companies will have to make it more available.

To thwart Islam's relentless encroachment, we have many practical actions we can take. The way we use gasoline is one of the most important.
