Have you ever wondered why the spin doctors have been very busy in every
segment of our society? That very possibly the quest for greater profits is
now litterally out of control?

Consider this, evidently some former NSA or CIA types are now working for
the utilites companies. Quietly masked as a safety shutdown, the San Onofre
power plant was taken off line in June 2000. Up to this point in time the
state of California was a electrical power exporter to surrounding states.
Now comes the energy crunch, and of course with San Onofre off line
permanently, California now has to import electrical power. Currently the
residents of California are being charged 3.5 cents per kilowat hour, and
the utilities are claiming that it costs them 35.0 cents to provide this
energy to the consumers.

The PUC, public utilities commission, has granted the utilities companies a
rate increase, of 9% to residential users and 7 - 15% for volume users. This
of course is totally unacceptable for Edison and they are now in default on
loans, claiming they will be forced into bankruptcy without raising the
rates to the 35 cent level. Any price increase will be devistating. In
southern California, So. Cal Edison is charging us currently $198.00 a month
for electricity, last summer the bill was $96.00. If someone is unfortunate
enough to have San Diego Gas and Electric as their provider, then they are
currently paying $400.00 for the same amount of energy. This all came about
by deregulation of the power industry.

Consider the price of gasoline for a moment. In Southern California premium
gasoline as of this writing is $1.69 per gallon (Chevron, Mobil, ARCO and
Texaco) as an overall average. While on a trip to Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas, we found the price per gallon to be $1.39 for the same identical fuel
within the last ten days.

The point I am drawing is simply this, in basic misinformation 101, your
attention is always drawn to the right hand of business or government, while
the left hand is busy conducting business as usual at the sake of the
consumer. This also applies to elected officals such as William Jefferson
Clinton, the new teflon don, and gun control advocates. They tell you one
thing and conduct their agenda in secret. With firearms, if you don't have
them all registered so the government can take them, then you are listed as
a felon in possession of contraband. Believe it was Ben Franklin that
stated: "Fear the government that fears the people and their right to keep
and bear arms", as appropriate when this country was founded as it is today.
