I can’t state what gas prices will be in other states, however, in Georgia, it’s already known that in August, gas will be approximately $4.50 cents per gallon. Yesterday, while buying gas at a new Chevron Station, the clerk told me that they had been advised by their suppliers that in August, the price per gallon had already been determined. To those that believe it’s because of supply and demand - I say Bulls*it! I have three sons, two who are managers for a large chain of convenience store/gas stations. Last night, I asked one of my sons if this was true, and to my surprise, he stated that the chain they work for had also been advised that prices will be at approximately $4.50 per gallon in August. I was under the false impression that the gas industry was regulated by supply and demand, however, when the operators of these stations already know months in advance what the prices will be - to me, that smacks of “price fixing” even though we know that Americans are driving less and actually consuming less gas than the “norm” for the United States. In short, it appears that the oil companies have already determined what we will pay at the pumps whether we drive less or not, and in my opinion, that’s a clear indicator of price fixing - something that I believed was illegal, but for the oil companies, it appears they are self-regulating and whether we reduce our consumption or not, gas prices in August have already been agreed upon, not by one, but at least two companies that I’m personally aware of; What’s wrong with this picture?

http://justanothercoverup.com/ I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/

With no impeachment of Bush and Cheney concerning the atrocities they have committed, our troops still in Iraq, and the clear and present danger of war with Iran, I can in no way, see America doing anything more with rising gas prices, than remaining on the couch being spoon fed more mainstream media crap. Long in the making has been the decline of we the people’s rights, freedoms, and for what America stands for. As the frog, being brought to a boil in a pot of water, we are well above the simmer point. Good luck to us all.
