rage against the machine: the battle of petroleum
I received this chain letter this morning... since more people read my blog than my emails, here it goes...
Dear All,
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the boycott campaign and rallies against gas companies lately.
The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we couldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join us!
Currently, unleaded gasoline is over P34.00 and it is still going up(sometimes unnoticed). Despite the fact that a barrel of oil has gone down to US$62 from US$70 (when Superstorm Katrina hit New Orleans ), gasoline prices are still going up instead of a downward trend.
Worst, the big oil players such as Caltex, Shell and Petron claim that they are still losing money. It is time we need to take aggressive action toteachthem that BUYERS control the marketplace....not sellers. The only way we aregoing to see the price of gas go down is if we hit them back by notpurchasingtheir gas!
And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How?
Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year, DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from the twobiggest foreign oil companies such as SHELL and CALTEX .
For now, let us buy gas only from Petron and/or small players such as SeaOil, Total, etc .
If CALTEX and SHELL are not selling any gas, they will be forced to reduce their prices and if they reduce their prices, other companies will have no choice but to follow suit. Thus, the start of a price war. In this way,the buying public wins.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Shell and Caltex gas buyers. I am sending this note to about thirty people. If yousend it to at least ten more, e.g., 30 x 10 = 300 and those 300 send itto at least ten ore, e.g., 300 x 10 = 3,000 and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people (and granting all will cooperate), we will have reached over THREE MILLION car owners!
Again, all you have to do is just send this to 10 people and DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from Shell and Caltex. Remember, the main idea is TO FORCE A PRICE WAR and not hurt ourselves or the economy.
That's all.
How long would all that take before we can feel the effect? If each ofus sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 3 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together can make a big difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE P20.00/LITER RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK!!!
(change PAST to OIL)
who controls the past now,
controls the future
who controls the present now,
controls the past
NOW TESTIFY!!!

you know there not suppost to charge as much for gas as they are so if you save recets form your gas purcuses when it all blows up on there faces youll have proof of them scaming you and then thats when you get your money back truthfuly the only way gas could go to $3 a gallon is if it was like i think around $95 a berrel and it anit even near that so go with the flow for now then fuck them over in the end
LOL! that's why i vent out all my anger at timehunter.
"Here's the idea:

Why isn't Petron included in the boycott?
kasi philippine company yun. hmm... come to think of it, di ko din alam.
OK if you switch word varification on you can loose the automated comments.
Also if you buy a diesel car you can run it on vegetable oil and remove yourself from the oil economy all together. why everyone in the middle east doesn't do it I don't know.
