Two of the most important commodities essential for our existence are “food and gas”. We have to eat and we have to have transportation. What if someone figured how to put an “invisible” tax on those commodities?
When you buy food or gasoline, the tax is itemized on the receipt and you can see it. This “invisible” tax was added long before the commodity even reached the place where you purchased it. This “invisible” tax was added in the “commodities markets”.
“Everyone” is so busy shifting their attention from one crisis to the next, that they don’t even see what is right in front of their own eyes. When they go to the grocery store, they buy food; but they fail to question why it’s higher now than ever before in the history of this country.
If they go to a service station, they pump and pay; but they fail to question why gasoline is higher than it’s ever been in the history of this country. Before 04, gas never cost much over $1.00 a gallon on the commodities market. That’s the price before taxes and other costs have been added. That’s the price I have a precise historical record of.
04 is an extremely important year. That’s the year I discovered “commodity market manipulation”. There is a record of my allegation at the CFTC. Commodity market manipulation on a “grand scale” has never occurred before in the history of this country. That’s because the people at the CFTC, aside from “appointed individuals”, are the smartest, most highly qualified people of any government agency I can think of. They have been forced to look the other way in regard to this current “commodity market manipulation” by corrupt politicians who are taking us all to the cleaners “big time”.

Every person we know is aware of both the food and gas prices problem.
That said, this is a good topic. We’ve scaled down our gas dramatically with a motorcycle, and our food has been coming from dumpsters since circa November 2010. We still buy some things for consumption, and I am amazed at some of the commodities like coffee, that are higher than God right now.
Kills me, the prices at the pump. It’s all a game. There is, to my understanding, surplus oil in tankers. So, yes, commodities market trading is the new game to rip people off, I guess.
I’d like it if people paid much more for gas. People don’t need to drive, they need to walk and ride bikes.
“…walk and ride bikes.”
Agreed. Once you get used to it, you never want to go back!
What do you do if you’re old and have arthritis plus a bad back.
Some allowances should be made for those who can’t get around otherwise.
Although something like the following bike (actually it is a 3-wheeler) should be pretty easy on your back, and with low enough gearing it shouldn’t be too hard on your joints either (the 3 wheel set up makes it so that you could go slow and easy, without falling over).

Did you go to “this website”. All of these high prices have absolutely nothing to do with commodity market “speculation”, it’s all about commodity market “manipulation” which is something altogether different.
Very wealthy “politically connected” people have used political power and wealth to bypass the CFTC. They have jacked the prices of everything we purchase to stay alive, in essence they have been exploiting us since 2004. We are like frogs in a tub of water where the temperature is continually rising. The charts on “this wbsite” illustrate and verify those facts.
There is no way under the sun, that almost “all” of the commodities we must purchase to live could rise to their greatest heights ever in the history of this country between the years of 07 and 08. Almost all of them plunged to bottom in January of 09, that was when Bush left office. They went right back up after Obama became President.
Gas for example: went from $1.00 in 04 to $3.50 in 08, down to $1.00 in 09, and then back up to $3.50 in 2011. No “supply and demand” scenario can explain this kind of volatility.
All of this “commodity market manipulation” has removed an “astronomical” amount of wealth from the multitudes and transferred it to the commodity market manipulators.
This “commodity market manipulation” has been attempted in the past, but it never succeeded because of the CFTC. Those brilliant people have been “handcuffed” by laws and “corrupt politicians”. Corrupt politicians make corrupt laws that enable them to rob us blind.
