OPEC fracks us 3 of 3

OPEC FRACKS US 3

Now we come to the myth that fracking was a game changer.  All kinds of people you would normally have thought of as being smart, or at least not stupid, completely showed their asses during the jingoistic orgy of empire pimping.  “YEH!  Yeh, bitches!  USA, USA!!  We’ve got more oil than you!  Nana nana boo boo!”.  Of course, it really isn’t all that important to them that the country at large has any energy.  The flag waving fervor is part of the carnie act to get the country cousins parting with their money.  As long as they themselves, the corporate store shrills gymnastically waving the ad placard to get the workers inside to spend the company script, are paid well and can live a life of comfort, they could care less if the serfs had a bowl for their gruel or anything to put in it other than the thin fecal smear from the owners underwear.  The empire apologists probably don’t even care if their shtick has any basis in reality.  Patriotism,  Democrats verses Republicans, Lincoln being a hero-all the hype is just part of the dog and pony show.  I’d even imagine they all don’t have the good graces to be embarrassed.  But here is my point.  The “OPEC targets fracking” myth is just a continuation of the Fracking Matters myth.  One and the same.

Because what we are really being told is that Fracking Still Matters.  We are STILL the Thousand Year American Reich.  As soon as we square away these pesky Little Brown People interfering with OUR oil, be it under Saudi sands or the Rocky Mountains chock full of a petroleum liquid cream center, America will rise up once again, dust itself off and it is back to Kunstler Happy Motoring and McMansion flipping, an end to all financial problems and a return of the tooth fairy riding to the rescue on a unicorn on a rainbow.  Chant mindlessly after me- USA! USA! ( and before some dumbass says “love it or leave it”, I’m not the one who is confusing the government with the country ).  Fracking was never but a temporary solution replacing expensive Gulf Of Mexico oil that was running out with even more expensive dry land oil that ran out ten times faster.  Put yourself in my shoes.  If I was spouting off about my fantasy of being rich and famous and fabulously hung like a mule, you would laugh uproariously at me.  I am merely laughing at YOUR improbable fantasy.

And isn’t it just a tiny bit curious how about the time the fracking industry sees its easily prophesied crash in production actually happening, the Evil OPEC myth comes along?  How convenient is that?  Sure, they say, fracking oil is a little more expensive, but look at all the American jobs provided.  Look at all that long sought after energy independence.  Boy, howdy!  And now those evil OPEC bitches have undercut our production price ( something no American company ever, never ever did!  Honest Injun! ) and woe unto us.  You see, right?  Plenty of fracking oil to be had!  As soon as the price goes back up, never ending frack oil production ( good Christ, please tell me you understood that was all sarcasm ).

*

And who is supposed to be forgetting, after our entire lifetimes of listening to every swinging cheese dingus out there bitch and moan about a ten cent rise in gasoline being the satanic profiteering of Rockefeller’s descendents,  that cheap oil was good and that expensive oil is bad?  Nice mid-game rule change.  And folks bought into it.  There really is no respect for the proletariat.
