Jason Screeb: the man, the myth, the manic... » Global Events http://www.jasonscreeb.com I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder three years ago, and also suffer from panic attacks. My mind is confusing, interesting, and always unquiet. My perception isn't what one might consider normal, and I've been told my views can be distorted. Picture Seinfeld with a chemical imbalance. This is my release, in a therapeutic way. Being totally anonymous, but completely open... you will find my viewpoints on what I encounter around me.

Have you noticed that the price of bread is higher? The reason you’re paying more for a hot dog bun is oil! Sounds outrageous doesn’t it? Here is what is happening. The wheat that we produce in the mid west is declining. This is because of the high price of oil, which leads us to mixing ethanol with gas to lower the price. The reason we are mixing ethanol isn’t for the environment, it is simply to drop the price similar to how drug dealers cut their heroin. Because we are now mixing gas with ethanol, we need to produce more of this ethanol. The farmers in the mid west are planting more cornfields, for ethanol is derived from corn. With more of our Nation’s fields planted with corn, there is less focus on wheat being planted. It is simple supply and demand, and with less wheat available the price increases. But wait, it goes deeper.

The wheat we do have planted, is being sold overseas because the countries in the middle east are paying higher prices for it. When was the last time you saw a picture of a wheat field in Saudi Arabi? Our wheat is being sold to the same countries in the middle east that are setting the price of oil so high.
Meanwhile in the states, we are growing less wheat do to our need for ethanol. The countries in the middle east export oil, and oil, and pretty much all oil. We don’t have anywhere else to go for this oil, so these middle eastern countries have a monopoly where they can set prices high. These countries have the United States at their mercy, for we aren’t going to stop importing their oil and boycott the prices. As we’re getting raped on the oil prices, we are also sending the rapists our wheat… causing Americans to pay more for wheat products.

Wait a minute, we have oil reserves and oil in Alaska don’t we? Of course we do, but as an American you don’t get to use any of it. We aren’t drilling in Alaska for oil, because that is our national security. Lets use an example, say all of the sudden we are at war with every oil producing country in the world. What would we do? We would use our oil reserves and the oil we have stashed up in Alaska to supply our military with fuel for vehicles and jet fuel. Even if we weren’t at war, and it was simply a oil shortage, the military would take top priority on the oil supply. The thinking is dark, but the thoughts are rational. 75% of the Nation’s gas stations could be dry, and the public wouldn’t have access to fuel.

This is the direction we are heading. Not saying that the country is going to sink into a World War III, and you won’t be able to get to work. If anything, Americans can deal with the higher prices of fuel and it forces society to submit to better environmental practices. Humans are like any other host, that bleeds their environment dry of natural resources until demise. The difference is our ability to think intelligently, and that is why we are the supreme “organism” on the earth at this point. We see that we are depleting our resources, and have the ability to try to change. The end result is unavoidable, similar to death, for eventually we will use up every natural resource. In the meantime, we can slow down the process.

I am terrified of China! http://www.jasonscreeb.com/2008/02/i-am-terrified-of-china-who-shot-a-missile-into-space-first/ http://www.jasonscreeb.com/2008/02/i-am-terrified-of-china-who-shot-a-missile-into-space-first/#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:43:00 +0000 Jason Screeb http://www.jscreeb.com/2008/02/24/i-am-terrified-of-china-who-shot-a-missile-into-space-first/ Tags: , , I am a little scared of China, it is the US that is terrified. Not everyone realizes that the reason we fired a missile into space to blow up a satellite was to show up China. It probably would have been easier to destroy the satellite in space, but China fired off a missile in the recent past to space. We can’t let China show us up, since they are a threat to our economy and our Nation. China is like the stepbrother you lock in the closet because he’s got a lazy eye, then 10 years later his eye is better and he kicks your ass. China is a world power, with the technology to match it. The US is scared of China, but I think their food is pretty decent.
