308,000 Barrels Of Oil Gone Missing, Ooops!

How do you not notice when 308,000 barrels of oil go missing?
That’s the question government auditors were asking after they looked into the Department of Energy’s management of oil received for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a critical program to assure energy stability in the U.S. in case of an oil crisis.
To help add to the reserve, DOE receives a portion of the royalty oil that the Department of the Interior gets in return for allowing petroleum companies to drill on government lands and waters.
The department’s Inspector General Gregory H. Friedman and his auditors found that in 28 percent of the oil transfers they examined, the amount received did not match the estimated amount to be shipped by the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service.
“To illustrate our findings regarding discrepancies, during a four-month period in Fiscal Year 2005, two Department contractors reported receiving 308,000 barrels of royalty oil less than the amount that MMS had scheduled for delivery to the market center. Yet, despite this significant shortfall, the Department took no action to resolve the discrepancy and to ensure that it had received all of the oil shipped by MMS,” according to the audit.
President Bush Violates UN Peace Resolutions

UN Resolutions ignored? weren’t we using that as a reason to go after Saddam Hussein? He violated UN resolutions he didn’t agree with, thus making him a danger to world stability? Now it’s President Bush’s turn to show how hypocritical he is by also violating UN resolutions without thinking twice about it. As if we didn’t have enough problems, Bush decides to further distance himself from American allies.

the media is supposed to act as a check on Government

What if the media actually worked to keep corporations from tainting the political process rather than acting as an accomplish to the corruption that has infiltrated Washington? The media could easily act as the “good guys”, but instead they’ve been purchased by billionaires with agendas and now we face the real possibility of a fascist American government.
Osama Bin Laden Vanished Into The Darkness
January 11, 2008 | Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Over the last few years, Osama Bin Laden has received very little airtime or attention from the President. Coincidentally, he does manage to rear his ugly head a few days before Election day and September 11th, it’s like clockwork. Now, more and more reports are getting out that suggest Osama Bin Laden is dead.
Fox News originally reported Osama Bin Laden dead in 2001, of “natural causes” although it was believed he was wounded in combat at some point. A couple of days ago, French Intelligence let slip that Osama Bin Laden has been dead for several years but hasn’t been revealed to the public. That would be particularly scandalous because we’ve seen a number of Osama Bin Laden tapes surface, some of which have been dubbed ‘fake’.
Now, the latest message to go viral on the Internet is a tribal document that reveals the death of Osama Bin Laden.

News of Bin Laden’s Death
and Funeral 10 days agoIslamabad -
A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement announced yesterday the death of Osama bin Laden, the chief of al-Qa’da organization, stating that binLaden suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death. The official, who asked to remain anonymous, stated to The Observer of Pakistan that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial in Tora Bora 10 days ago. He mentioned that 30 of al-Qa’da fighters attended the burial as well as members of his family and some friends from the Taleban. In the farewell ceremony to his final rest guns were fired in the air. The official stated that it is difficult to pinpoint the burial location of bin Laden because according to the Wahhabi tradition no mark is left by the grave. He stressed that it is unlikely that the American forces would ever uncover any traces of bin Laden.
Finally, remember the Bhutto Assassination that ‘rocked’ the world? Well, videos of her proclaiming Osama Bin Laden dead went viral as well. All indicators seem to suggest that Osama Bin Laden is and has been dead for some time now, he may have even been dead before we went to war with Iraq. Perhaps that’s the largest scandal that has gone unnoticed.
Bhutto says Osama Bin Laden is Dead
If Osama Bin Laden has been dead since December of 2001, a lot of what President Bush has fed the media and the world was disinformation. Our intelligence agency no doubt has the answer to this puzzling question, the question is why hasn’t the information been revealed to the public. Moreover, if it was intentionally withheld from the public for “national security reasons”, what exactly are we trying to protect? A false war? Lies leading to Iraq? Torture that has resulted as part of the propaganda campaign that made “Islamo-fascism” a popular word amongst “conservatives”?
Countrywide Controversy – CEO Scandal

Well, suffice to say that it got my attention. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Mozilo has two pensions that his severance agreement gives him the right to receive as a lump sum upon his departure. Those pensions were worth $24 million as of December 2006, the last time the company was required to report their value.
There is more. The Times reports Mozilo would receive continuing health benefits for life for himself and his spouse, three years of life and financial planning benefits, and “tax-gross-up payments” to compensate him for any penalties he’d have to pay for receiving payments the IRS might consider excessive.
Given the slashing of 10,900 jobs at Countrywide this year, and the 81% decline in Countrywide stock over the last year, it is likely Mozilo’s severage package will prove more controversial than his previous stock sales.
