Too often politicians fail to keep their promises. I often wonder if they ever intended to keep them. They have learned that we will not hold them responsible for failing to do what they tell us. It’s an interesting phenomenon; we’ll re-elect them even thought they essentially lie to us, but we’ll hold our children to a higher standard.

That said, Joe Biden has kept one of his campaign promises; to destroy the fossil fuel industry in America. He said very clearly several times that he would push us to a renewable energy reliant economy, and we are watching him do so. Give him credit for following through.

Estimates from industry analysts believe a barrel of oil will top $160 and could go as high as $220 before the end of the summer. That would push a gallon of gas to $8-10 per gallon. That price is what most renewable energy proponents have said needed to be reached before the U.S. consumer would begin to embrace electric vehicles. Joe has done that. I should probably say Joe has been the puppet for those that push renewable energy sources, but he’s been a good one.

At the same time, he is pushing the globalist agenda. He is diminishing the importance of the U.S. from both an economical and political standpoint. By going to Iran, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia begging them to produce and sell more fossil fuels, he is lining their coffers. Those nations will be able to expand their terroristic activities around the world. And we can’t forget the role Russia plays in the oil game, as they are still allowed to move oil and gas to Europe.

But why those countries? Could it be the military industrial complex quietly pushing this agenda? More terrorism will require the production of more weapons of war. The immediate production of things like tanks, planes, ammunition, etc. will make a lot of money in the short term.

Having a Soviet-style Russian bloc will make them even more money, especially in the long term. Research and development of advanced weapons systems could become necessary again. I’m not saying it’s ever stopped, but combined with the threat of China, the new systems become a much higher priority.

The other nefarious consequence of high energy prices is more dependence upon government largesse. We haven’t heard much about the basic guaranteed income lately but make no mistake, it’s coming. Joe Biden will swoop in with the plan as a panacea to ease the pain of high gas prices and inflation. People will accept it. And then they’ve got us; we have become a socialist country. People won’t want to relinquish that monthly payment.

The ‘conspiracy theorists’ will be proven right. Those of us that have warned of the demise of the U.S. as we know it, will be proven right. Let’s hope that a red wave in the midterms would result in a Congress that will keep its promise to rein in the government and reverse these dangerous policies.
