Hot Money In The Hot Seat

(Conspiracy Nation, 07/06/08) -- “Hot Money”, or “H.M.” as he likes to be called, looks set to occupy the hot seat of inquisitorial scrutiny this upcoming week. A “new scapegoat is needed for the latest economic woe, the rising oil price,” declares Reuters. We “are involved in a great global hunt for a fall-guy.” (“Morning Line: What's to blame for the rocketing oil price?” http://uk.reuters.com/article/paperTips/idUKPTIP30741420080704)

Yesterday, Conspiracy Nation reported on the swashbuckling shenanigans of “Hot Money” (“H.M.”). Plain-Jane Dollar loves “H.M.” with a heart that is oh so true. But “H.M.” is a currency Casanova, driving around in a sports car and ogling the hiked skirts of China Yuan and Euro Maiden. On the side, “H.M.” plays footsie with Oil Futures, the wild twin sister of Plain-Jane Dollar. (“Hot Money Is Fickle”, http://www.shout.net/~bigred/HotMoney.html)

Old-fashioned parent Ben Bernanke tells Plain-Jane Dollar, “Keep your skirt low. 'Hot Money' will be attracted by your inner beauty.” But thus far, “H.M.” zooms past the humble cottage of Plain-Jane Dollar in his sports car, headed for the flashy side of town.

All this could be about to change. A Puritan Hat Committee has been formed. Wearing the severe Puritan Hats, they are about to give “Hot Money” a tongue lashing.

Audacious as ever, “H.M.” laughs at the Puritan Hat Committee. “Those gasbags,” he sneers, “They are headed for Summer recess.”

It is true that the Puritan Hat Committee will be taking a Summer recess, following their ominous incantations.

A scapegoat is desperately sought for high oil and gas prices. These are pushing food costs higher, thus further diminishing discretionary spending. It all bodes ill for the retail sector, two-thirds of the economic engine. Someone must be blamed, and fast! But who?

Some say it is old-fashioned parent Ben Bernanke who causes the inflation. After all, he is charged by the Puritan Hat Committee with responsibility over Plain-Jane Dollar. Not only does Papa Bernanke make her wear her skirts low, he also issues multiple M3 copies and posts them on telephone poles. “I am merely accentuating the image of Plain-Jane Dollar,” responds Papa Bernanke. “I want 'Hot Money' to be reminded of her as he zooms around in his sports car.”

Others say it is the “Peak Oil” making prices expand. “'Hot Money' is not to blame!” they cry. “He is just exercising his libido!”

Then there are some who see an anti-American plot. They are convinced an artificial energy crisis is being used to undermine the sumptuous lifestyle of the happy Americans. This idea was reported by Conspiracy Nation in 2004: When the Cold War ended in 1988, the sudden collapse of Communism raised the power of global capitalism to new heights. Whatever you think of Communism, the demise of Capitalism's arch-foe left it free to bully whomever it chose. ” (“The Judas Economy”, http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Judas.htm)

It is all a globalist plot to level off economies, making the U.S. ripe for the plucking by New World Order conspirators. To this end, Americans are being told (1) Tweedledee: Energy scarce; and (2) Tweedledum: Global Warming, use less energy. This is the true state of affairs, many believe.

The “Judas Economy” scheme therefore contains inflated gas prices as part of its plan, according to some. This ought to be the real scapegoat, except the Puritan Hat Committee is complicit in the conspiracy. And so, it will be placing “Hot Money” on the hot seat.
