OIL ... Send to Everyone!!!


Next time you have to fill up at $3.49/gallon or more, think of this!!

 

OIL - You better be sitting down when you read this!

 

As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6 months ago.  They send every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska to North Dakota and several drivers.  They just bought two new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it.  They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that division.

 

Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years.

 

Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down there since there are no rooms available.

 

 

Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I checked.

 

See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota 's economy?

 

Here's an astonishing 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 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 sm(EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels.  Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5 billion barrels), 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.

 

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.

 

OPEC is 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 everyone in your address book.

 

By the way, this can be verified.  Check it out at the link below !!!!!!

Conundrum: Something that is puzzling or confusing. Here are six conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:


Here are six conundrums of socialism in the United States of America: 
 
1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized. 
 
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 
 
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government. 
 
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer. 
 
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about. 
 
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries. 
 
And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA: Elections decided by uninformed voters, Moochers as the big winners, Marxists who are leading from behind! 

Simple Plan to Destroy Russia! ...

Much has been said about what Obama should do to hurt the Russian economy. To me the plan to destroy Russia is simple:

1) ban their use of coal
2) mandate that Russia goes on Obamacare
3) don't allow any drilling on Russian public land
4) have the EPA pass rulings on Russian business
5) re-define the full time Russian work week to 30 hours
6) raise the Russian minimum wage
7) mandate overtime pay for government employees
8) Demand the Russian Government pay free Welfare benefits to un-qualified Citizens and Illegal immigrants

This plan is proven and has been working in the U. S. since 2009.

$86,400 a day for life.......Interesting twist!

I really like this. Please read to the end. You may be surprised.

Something to think about...

Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest:

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private 

account for your use. However, this prize has rules.

The set of rules:

1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be 

taken away from you.

2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

3. You may only spend it.

4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with 

another $86,400.00 for that day.

5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can 

say," Game Over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right?

Not only for yourself, but for all people you love. Even for 

people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY This GAME is REAL!

Shocked YES!! Each of us is already a winner of this PRIZE. 

We just can't seem to see it.

This PRIZE is *TIME*!

1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life,

2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

3. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever gone.

5. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can 

dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING....

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. 
Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much 

quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day.

Start spending....Every day God gives is a blessing.


60 MINUTES TAKES OUR ENEMIES AND THEIR ACTIVISTS ON A TOUR OF A NUCLEAR LAUNCH CONTROL CENTER DO AL SHARPTON, JESSE JACKSON SEE THE RACIST RANT OF NBA OWNER AS A PROFIT AND MEDIA OPPORTUNITY? IRS CANNOT DISCIPLINE ITS OWN PEOPLE: WHY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS MUST BE ELIMINATED WHY THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS NEED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

One Citizen Speaking...


60 MINUTES TAKES OUR ENEMIES AND THEIR ACTIVISTS ON A TOUR OF A NUCLEAR LAUNCH CONTROL CENTER

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 12:26 AM PDT

There is little doubt in my mind that 60 Minutes reflects the political position of the Obama Administration and their cadre of progressive socialist democrats …

ls

Am I the only person who is pissed off that 60 Minutes did a great disservice to America and our Air Force by embarking upon what I believe to be a sponsored publicity tour of a Nuclear Launch Control Center? 

60

Tour a nuclear launch control center

When Lesley Stahl and the 60 Minutes team went 70 feet underground inside a nuclear control center, they found a system dating back to the 1960s

When Lesley Stahl and the 60 Minutes team ventured 70 feet underground into a nuclear control center, Stahl says what she found was "peculiar": a malfunctioning phone, floppy disks and an antique computer system without a monitor.

mf

Visit 60 Minutes overtime to view the segment and the supplementary materials: Tour a nuclear launch control center - CBS News

Highlighting an aging system that used 8” floppy disks and appears to be held together with legacy systems. In my opinion, this is information is not need to know by the greater population! While 60 Minutes did not reveal CNWDI-level secrets  (Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information), they did cast a long shadow of doubt on the men and women who stand at the ready to protect the United States against nuclear attack.

Yes, there have been morale issues, and people were caught cheating on exams – not to cover up information deficiencies, but to insure a perfect 100% score. Yes, we have had near nuclear accidents, but revealing this information to progressive socialist democrats only encourages the socialist/communist peaceniks to continue their protests against nuclear weapons. I can anticipate a renewed outcry to dismantle our nuclear weapons and/or reduce our missile counts … with the 60 Minutes piece ginning up additional anti-Missile opposition.

The fact that 60 Minutes concentrated on past nuclear weapon-related incidents and stressing that our command and control system is complex and aging is deeply troubling. And the suggestion that we do not need land-based missiles is unfounded. 

Bottom line …

To see that 60 Minutes characterized the Missile Command as a second-rate assignment rather than an elite posting was deeply troubling.

The real issue facing the United States military is that the command structure is becoming hyper-politicized and, in the present instance, faces opposition from civilian overloads steeped in soviet-style socialist propaganda and who apparently holds the military in low regard. Generals, Admirals, and other hard-charging squared away officers are routinely eliminated and demoted by the political bullshit coming from the White House – in reality, probably Valerie Jarrett and he socialist-trained cohorts.

What I would like to see is simple. A return to the ethics and efficiency of the Strategic Air Command, where motto “Peace is our profession,” was unofficially supplemented by “To err is human, to forgive is divine – neither one of which is SAC operational policy.” I would also like for these media morons to be denied access to critical facilities and information.

DO AL SHARPTON, JESSE JACKSON SEE THE RACIST RANT OF NBA OWNER AS A PROFIT AND MEDIA OPPORTUNITY?

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 12:27 AM PDT

This is a self-answering question as both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson appear to be commenting on the alleged racist rant of an NBA owner …

sh

Al Sharpton -- NBA Should Take Clippers from Sterling

Reverend Al Sharpton is calling for the NBA to investigate Donald Sterling ASAP -- telling TMZ Sports, "No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language."

Sharpton is calling for the league to make an investigation into Sterling its #1 priority -- adding, "We are prepared at National Action Network to rally in front of the NBA headquarters if this matter is not immediately dealt with."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Sterling -- who owns the L.A. Clippers -- went off on his girlfriend for hanging out with black people in public and told her NOT to bring black people to his games.

Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/26/al-sharpton-investigation-donald-sterling-clippers

Reverend Jesse Jackson also weighed in on Sterling's alleged comments.

"The first burden is upon the commissioner, Adam Silver, to act decisively because we don't want this to drag on throughout the playoffs," the noted civil rights activist said. "Donald Sterling should be banned immediately. The question is for how long. To do otherwise would subject his players to the indignity of working for a racist.

"And since Donald Sterling doesn't want blacks to go to his games, blacks should not go to his games. And whites who view blacks as equals should not go to his games. Why should the players even play for him when he has stated that their relatives -- their children, their parents, some of their wives -- are not welcome at their games?" <Source>

Look to Harvey Levin and TMZ to expose more of the story. It has been suggested that this is not an organic story, but an attempt by an estranged lover embroiled in a million-dollar lawsuit to exact revenge.

Race and money …

 

NAACP: Sterling Will Not Be Awarded Lifetime Achievement Honor

In response to the controversy, Miller said plans to bestow the award to Sterling had been cancelled.

“Let me make it clear, the NAACP will not be honoring Mr. Sterling at the upcoming Los Angeles branch event and we have strongly urged our Los Angeles unit to take the necessary steps to rescind the previous award they bestowed on him,” she said.

“The remarks attributed to Mr. Sterling are outrageous and remind us that racism is alive and well at every socioeconomic level. With the election of President Obama, many were sold the idea that the United States would be instantly transformed into a post racial society and racism would be eviscerated. People who bought that idea were sold wolf tickets,” Miller continued in part, urging others to speak out against discrimination.

Sort of highlights the value of the awards given to those politically powerful donors who contribute big money and who sponsor and underwrite events

Bottom line …

A billionaire with a major public relations problem appears to be a vulnerable target for those who will sell radical sensitivity training, monitoring, and damage mitigation services to avoid forced divestment or boycott. I wonder if we will see the Jewish NBA owner praying with Sharpton or Jackson; or at least doing a public mea culpa in their presence.

By the way, did anyone notice that the alleged racist is a big-time democrat, lauded by progressive socialist organizations and the progressive media?

IRS CANNOT DISCIPLINE ITS OWN PEOPLE: WHY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS MUST BE ELIMINATED

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 06:10 PM PDT

As my readers know, I am not a fan of unions, be they trade unions or public employee unions. I am dead set against any organization that is based on corrupting politicians to advance their own agenda. I am also dead set against any organization that rewards seniority over merit, limits innovation to maintain the status quo, imposes work rules that split one-person jobs into multiple segments requiring multiple people, and demands increased benefits with little or no increase in productivity to pay for the increase benefits. In fact, it appears to me that most unions care little or nothing about their members other than to provide a continuing revenue stream that can be invested by their union bosses; and in some cases investment decisions riddled with corruption and cronyism.

As a demonstration of the clear and present danger public employee unions present to America and all Americans, let us consider the Internal Revenue Service …

If non-governmental workers do not report their income, under-report their income, or fail to pay their taxes, we are in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. In many cases, evading your taxes may be a criminal matter. And, for those who underpay or do not pay their taxes, there is the spectre of criminal prosecution and civil forfeiture. The IRS garnishes your wages or puts a lien on your property – or in extreme cases confiscates your property to sell at auction.

In many cases IRS will serve as the enforcement arm of federal and state agencies and withhold, apparently without question, any tax refund that you may be due. Not to mention that the IRS is the enforcement arm of the Department of Health and Human Services when it comes to penalizing non-participation in the Obamacare insurance scam that is decimating the insurance industry and destroying individual healthcare.

Social Security, Treasury target taxpayers for their parents’ decades-old debts

The Treasury Department has intercepted $1.9 billion in tax refunds already this year — $75 million of that on debts delinquent for more than 10 years, said Jeffrey Schramek, assistant commissioner of the department’s debt management service. The aggressive effort to collect old debts started three years ago — the result of a single sentence tucked into the farm bill lifting the 10-year statute of limitations on old debts to Uncle Sam.

The Federal Trade Commission, on its Web site, advises Americans that “family members typically are not obligated to pay the debts of a deceased relative from their own assets.” But Social Security officials say that if children indirectly received assistance from public dollars paid to a parent, the children’s money can be taken, no matter how long ago any overpayment occurred. <Source>

Scandal and cover-up …

Even worse, the Internal Revenue Service is apparently engaged in a cover-up of an unconstitutional and illegal use of the IRS, to pursue, harass, and deny tax exempt status to conservative causes seeking a tax exemption. This constitutes felonious conduct that can send people to jail.

In 2013, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for closer scrutiny based on their names or political themes. This led to wide condemnation of the agency and triggered several investigations, including a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal probe ordered by United States Attorney General Eric Holder. Initial reports described the selections as nearly exclusively of conservative groups with terms such as "Tea Party" in their names. <Source>

The Chief of the IRS Section involved in these matters has consistently lied to Congress, before exerting Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination. The Attorney General, Department of Justice, and the FBI appear to be complicit in extending the cover-up for political reasons – perhaps beyond the 2014 congressional election cycle that threatens the progressive socialist democrat majority in the Senate where high-ranking officials and judges have been confirmed on party lines without additional scrutiny. Of course, the Senate, under the leadership of the corrupt Harry Reid, refuses to bring key legislation to the floor for a vote and is complicit in using rules ‘tricks’ to pass legislation, such as Obamacare, that cannot withstand scrutiny and passed in an ordinary bi-partisan manner.

The IRS gave bonuses to IRS employees who owed taxes and were subject to disciplinary hearings …  

IRS gave bonuses to employees who owed back taxes. And that’s not all.

report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration shows that between Oct. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2012, the IRS paid $2.8 million in bonuses to employees cited in the past year for such things as drug use, making violent threats, fraudulently claiming unemployment benefits, misusing government credit cards and — get this — failing to pay their taxes.

The report said more than 1,100 employees who failed to pay their taxes received discretionary awards of more than $1 million in cash bonuses and more than 10,000 hours in extra paid vacation. At least five employees received performance awards after being disciplined for intentionally under-reporting their tax liabilities for multiples years, paying taxes late and under-reporting income.  <Source>

Blame the public employee union that covers IRS workers …

Like many companies and government agencies, the IRS sweetens the deal for its employees by giving bonuses based on performance. But at the IRS, breaking the federal tax laws you were hired to enforce and running afoul of other agency rules aren’t considered relevant to performance-based awards.

You have to do something really bad before the IRS will take conduct into account, bad enough to be suspended for 14 days or more. Even then, conduct is only deemed relevant to awards of permanent pay increases, not for bonuses or extra vacation time.

The IRS’s contract with the National Treasury Employees Union bars the agency from considering bad conduct when making performance-based awards. As for non-union employees, federal guidelines are silent on the subject.More than 2,800 employees out of 98,000 got performance-based awards within a year of disciplinary action.

While not specifically prohibited by IRS policies, providing awards to employees with conduct issues, especially the failure to pay taxes owed to the Federal Government, appears to be in conflict with the IRS’s charge of ensuring the integrity of the system of tax administration,” the report said. “In addition, awards provided to these employees could be put to better use by providing employees who are compliant additional opportunities for awards.”  Source: IRS gave bonuses to employees who owed back taxes. And that’s not all.

Now we are about to see the progressive socialist democrats slime their own Inspector General …

Inspector Generals have a thankless task. They are reviled by the agency and individuals they investigate, not to mention the regime in power at the time of wrongdoing. Apparently in an effort to defuse the Inspector General’s politically damaging reports, the progressive socialists are now attempting to attack the Treasury Attorney General and show that he is not above reproach.

Two House Democrats on Thursday called for an investigation of a federal auditor who accused the Internal Revenue Service of gross mismanagement and targeting advocacy groups for extra scrutiny based on their names and policy positions.

Reps. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) and Matt Cartwright (D-Penn.) on Wednesday filed acomplaint with a special watchdog council questioning the independence of Treasury Department inspector general J. Russell George.

The congressmen, both of whom serve as top Democrats on House oversight committees, said George produced a “fundamentally flawed performance audit” that was “incomplete” and “outright misleading.” They also alleged that he held briefings with Republican members of the House Oversight Committee without the knowledge of Democrats on the panel. <Source>

trg

Look for the progressive socialist democrats to begin personally attacking the man in the near future. I would not be surprised to see that the IG has socialized with political types in furtherance of his career, or possibly citing the appearance of wrongdoing by his subordinates. The politics of personal destruction as defined by the corrupt Hillary Clinton and used to great effect to protect her lying, cheating presidential husband.   

Bottom line …

Under the past two Administrations, we have seen the government lose significant credibility with the very people for whom they work,”We the People.” Not since the corrupt and contemptible former President Richard Nixon tried to illegally use the IRS against his political enemies – for which he was threatened with impeachment – have we seen such corruption and hyper-politicization in public agencies. The IRS was always tough, but were considered apolitical and without taint. Now, they are at the center of a scandal that demands reform and the investigation and prosecution of IRS employees.

The progressive socialist democrats have benefited from the IRS scandal, some suggesting that the additional tax-exempt funding could have resulted in the defeat of Barack Obama. Interference in presidential elections is a felony. And, now the progressive socialist democrats are engaged in a cover-up to delay or de-track any investigation that could damage the party prior to the 2014 election.

It is time to throw the progressive socialist democrats and their RINO cohorts out of office – especially the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Enough with political and crony corruption. Time to start rebuilding America.

WHY THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS NEED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 06:09 PM PDT

The race-baiters, race-hustlers, and poverty pimps would have you believe that any college admissions process that does not take into account the race of the applicant is de facto racist and the issue must be addressed by the Congress and the federal courts.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The issue is that the progressive socialist democrats and their progressive socialist teachers unions have done an abysmal job in education our children, especially those located in the inner cities. Perhaps the real scandal is that all of the money paid by the taxpayers to be spent on students and in the classrooms have been diverted to massive infrastructure projects that favor politically-connected special interests or diverted to unwarranted salaries, perks, and privileges that benefit incompetent teachers as well as skilled teachers. With multiple millions flowing into union pension and welfare programs that are administered by the unions, possibly with corruption and cronyism.

The politicians want your tax dollars without damaging that politically-protected class of tenured teachers who must be called to account for their teaching skills and subject-matter knowledge. The progressive democrats do not want testing of teachers or students. And, when testing students, there is often cheating by the teachers and administrators – even though the tests are artificially dumbed-down so they can be passed by the lowest common denominator of student.

And, heaven forbid you mention a charter school – likely to be better than public schools, and even more egregious from the position of the progressive socialist democrats, non-union. The progressive socialist democrats believe that your children are their property and that they, and they alone, are responsible for their welfare outside of the home. The unions believe that public money belongs to them and that vouchers for public schools and/or charter schools would highlight inefficient and failing schools, incentivizing the switch to private, non-union schooling.

Even worse …

We are dooming ill-prepared children to failure when they are admitted to top-flight schools based on affirmative action. When confronted with this no-excuses, competitive environment, these students are prone to drop out and never return. The shame and failure should be on the corrupt and uncaring progressive socialist unions and their political cronies, the corrupt progressive socialist democrats.

Bottom line …

It is not that the progressive socialist democrats want affirmative action or even care about your children – they want political power and access to public funds. Any public good is merely a side benefit.

Time to remove the progressive socialist democrats from the House, Senate, and the Bureaucracy. Time to eliminate public employee unions that have not served us well and whose continued political corruption threatens to bankrupt us all in the finest “shared misery” socialism manner. It’s your choice and nobody is holding a gun to your head in the privacy of the voting booth.
