I recently watched How Big Oil Conquered the World.
This was the most eye-opening documentary I have ever watched and I highly recommend for you to subscribe to Corbett Report on Youtube and follow Corbett's website to stay informed on the elitist's plans to take over our world!
@corbettreport is also posting on Steemit, Corbett Report is one of my personal favorite independent news outlets.
I have already released Part #1, Part #2, Part #3, Part #4 and Part #5 of this series, I highly recommend for you to read through these first to better understand this post.
Today I will inform you of the story of how Henry Ford received help from multiple anonymous people to try and take down Standard Oil!
A Rebellion From Ford
The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust – almost anything. There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented
Farmers, who saw this as a great oppertunity, lobbied for repeal of the $2.08 per gallon tax for alcohol.
This was a tough task as this was during the civil war and the alcohol tax was used to fund war.
Divide And Conquer
Other individuals who were seeking to end the oiligarch's rule over the world's oil monopoly saw fuel alcohol as the key to disruption.
With support from unknown individuals, President Teddy Roosevelt spoke to the US Congress in 1906:
The Standard Oil Company has, largely by unfair or unlawful methods, crushed out home competition. It is highly desirable that an element of competition should be introduced by the passage of some such law as that which has already passed the House, putting alcohol used in the arts and manufactures upon the free list. LINK
This seems like a fair point in my opinion, in a free market all goods and and their competitors should have the same regulation. This slightly hinders monopolization.
Is This Really Happening?
for a time corn ethanol was 14 cents a gallon while gasoline was 22 cents a gallon.
The possibility of a decentralized source of oil, which was unmonopolizable swept the nation.
However, the oiligarchs did not want this. They devised a plan to stop their competitor!
What Do I Think?
This was a very informative documentary.
This is part 6 of an ongoing series, read part 5 HERE read part 4 HERE! Read part 3 HERE! Read part 2 HERE! Read part 1 HERE!
Today we followed the story of how people who disagreed with Standard Oil's vision tried to implement ethyl alcohol worldwide.
Next time we will learn how Standard Oil crushed their enemy: Ethyl Alchohol.
