Independence Day | Independence DayEditor Independence Day, that is what we celebrate on "The Fourth of July." Independence from England was the focus, but independence from other powers is what we want. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were considered radicals in their day. They had the vision and determination to create the United States along with the other founding fathers. Today, two hundred and thirty years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, we need to become independent from Saudi Arabia and ARAMCO (the ARAB-American oil Company) and the oil lobby. There are three major reasons for becoming independent. First, oil revenues fund Islamic terrorists. Second, payments for oil contribute to the foreign trade deficit. Third, extravagant oil consumption is a factor in global warming. Bin Laden and the majority of 9-11 bombers came from Saudi Arabia, a country where beheading, feudalism and religious repression prevail. The strength of Saudi Arabia rests on oil consumption. ARAMCO, the joint venture of the Saudis and four oil companies (Chevron, Exxon, Mobil and Texaco), profits from oil consumption. And those profits are a significant part of the U.S. trade deficit. Connect the dots. Less obvious, but more ominous, global warming is a threat to more than coastal cities. Global warming threatens the world's agricultural production. Energy (oil) consumption releases carbon dioxide and increases global warming. To become independent from Saudi Arabia the voters of the United States must demand action. Regardless of party label, our representatives and Executive Branch must make independence from Saudi Arabia the highest priority. |
