-Caveat Lector-
Steve puts the matter clearly. That gas companies are shoving the prices up
as hard as they can without any real justification (is greed a
justification?) is certainly correct. And, I would add, when they stage
their "necessary" blackouts, as they did in San Diego yesterday evening,
they do it to cause the MAXIMUM possible disruption and harm, in order to
deceive people--if they can--into wringing their hands over the terrible
"shortage" of electricity!.
Yesterday's blackout in San Diego was staged to occur AT RUSH HOUR in
the packed downtown area, people leaving highrise offices to drive home or
go to restaurants. So all the traffic lights went out, natch, producing
massive congestion and countless intersection collisions. Of course none of
the restaurants could cook, so the business losses were staggering. A few
months back, this is PRECISELY the strategy that was used for "rolling
blackouts" which were of course "necessary!" in San Francisco. There, PG&E
picked the Marina--the most upscale business and residential area--in which
to suddenly shut the power down AT MIDDAY RUSH HOUR. Of course, they
carefully included Fisherman's Wharf in their blackout area--at the noontime
restaurant rush. More darkened intersections, car pileups, and massive
business/tourist losses. This has nothing to do with power shortages; it has
EVERYTHING to do with mindgames and extortion inflicted on the paying
public.
If this were the Mafia, the FBI would be out to get them.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
