Al Gore: The Other Oil Candidate

by Bill Mesler, Special to CorpWatch
August 29th, 2000


For thousands of years, the Kitanemuk Indians made their home in the Elk Hills of central California. Come February 2001, the last of the 100 burial grounds, holy places and other archaeological sites of the Kitanemuks will be obliterated by the oil drilling of Occidental Petroleum Company. Oxy's plans will "destroy forever the evidence that we once existed on this land," according to Dee Dominguez, a Kitanemuk whose great grandfather was a signatory to the 1851 treaty that surrendered the Elk Hills.

Occidental's planned drilling of the Elk Hills doesn't only threaten the memory of the Kitanemuk. Environmentalists say a rare species of fox, lizard and the kangaroo rat would also be threatened by Oxy's plans. A lawsuit has been filed under the Endangered Species Act. But none of that has given pause to Occidental or the politician who helped engineer the sale of the drilling rights to the federally-owned Elk Hills. That politician is Al Gore. :puke::puke:

alGore is a hypocrite. He flies around in his private, gas-guzzling jets, gets driven around in huge gas-guzzling cars, uses 20x the energy most people use
in ONE of his houses that most people use is a year.... He's a pathetic joke.:(

Two prior Republican presidents (http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/07/0225204)- Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan - had attempted to put Elk Hills on the auction block, but backed down in the face of widespread opposition. It was President Clinton, under the advice of Vice President Gore, who approved a deal to let oil companies buy some of the reserves, pushing a bill through Congress that made it possible to sell the government's interest in the 47,000 acre Elk Hills reserve to Occidental Petroleum for $3.65 billion. It was the largest privatization of federal land in the country's history, and it tripled Occidental's reserves overnight.


Are the same people that advocate drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge complaining about a move that helps us be independent from foriegn oil? The Elk Hills area has been drilled for oil and gas since the late 19th century. It now amounts to 10% of US production. The environmental damage is far greater when we have to take our oil with bombs.

So? Who the hell cares? We got the oil that we needed and wanted. We've paved over great areas of "valuable" land for cities and towns and resorts and roads and airports and..... and done lots of environmental "damage". So what? Do you want us to live like cavemen?

I get a little tired of ALGORE's hypocrisy, he want everyone else to live a life style, and conform to ethics that he has never and will never practice in his personnel, or political life, and it is all for his own greedy gigantic pockets.

Gee, that's what all "leaders" are doing. Therefore, his personal hypocrisy is irrelevant, as long as he's preaching something other than "mindless consumption as a way to escape and make life meaningful" message.

No, the problem is that he's acting and talking like all ordinary people ....just plain fuckin' hippo-critters. Leaders, great men, are supposed to be above that kind of thing, ya' know?

Isn't that why you lambbasted Foley for doing what he did? In fact, I recall you making a point that people in government should be above that sort of thing ....and if they didn't, we should hound them out of office ...like we did to Foley.

So .....are you changing your tune now, Bells?

You only hound them out of office when they are Republicans. Liberals get a free pass(Savage,Adams,Frank,Richmond,Young,Hayes,Studs ,Reynolds,
Kennedy....):mad:

In fact, the liberals not only get to stay, they get to parade their freakshows out in front of everyone to see.(Studs, Frank.)

The old double-standard.:mad:

You're obsessed with Foley. Again, Foley sent lurid and sexual emails and text messages to little boys. A bit different don't you think?:rolleyes:

If you can't tell the difference, then I pity you. I am sure there is help for you out there. You should chat to sandy.. she's out to "save people". I am willing to bet she'd get a bonus gold star in heaven for bringing you in.:D

He practices carbon offsetting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_offset). So that completely exonerates him. Obviously.

Well, no. Neither of them was very nice. Foley sent some messages to a few boys, Gore sent some messages to a whole slew of people. Foley's messages didn't cause anyone any problems, Gore's message could cost millions of taxpayers lots and lots of money and problems and headaches.

Hmm, which is worse?

Foley.

Hands down.

Gore did not send out messages to children discussing how 'fiddling' them would feel, etc. Child abuse is never an option and will always be considered one of the worst things. I am surprised you actually needed clarification on this.:confused:

Huh? Foley didn't abuse any kids?! What are you talking about? He just sent some lewd messages to a few kids, and I think they were over 18 anyway!

Gore sent some messages to millions of people ...and that message seems to be not only wrong, but overly propagandist in it's message. Who did the most harm to the nation? Hmm? I think Gore did ...by a long sight.

Ermmm baron, sending pornographic content to children is a form of child abuse. And they were interns when he did it, therefore they were under 18.

And why are you defending him? Didn't you say child abusers should be taken out back and shot? And why in the hell are we discussing this yet again?

Why did the Justice Department and the FBI, after searching, checking, interviewing, etc, never find anything illegal to charge him with? ..and you know damned well they were working hard to do it!!

It's like freedom of speech, Bells. I hate that YOU have it, but since I want it, then I'm going to fight like hell for your right to freedom of speech. Same thing.

If I were the dictator of the US or the world, I'd have taken Foley out and shot him with a 1.5mm howitzer right between the eyes! But ...and I know this is a surprise for you, ....I ain't the dictator of the US.

Al Gore presented a propaganda speech and film that has affected millions, and it was mostly nothing but hype and rhetoric and bullshit. He, not Foley, has caused much, much more damage to the American people.

That's something you need to ask them.

I am touched that you care Baron.:rolleyes:

He has a right to free speech to speak his views on the matters of global warming.

And you, the American public, were free to adhere to his recommendations or to ignore it. No one forced you to comply to them. Gore was not in Government at the time and ergo had no influence in regards to Government policy. The boys Foley sent those messages to did not have a say in the matter. Foley was in Government when the whole messages debacle occured and he had a say on the running of your countries. Huge difference and different circumstances as well.

What Foley did was despicable but the boys were at or over the age of consent in DC.
Foley's actions were MUCH less vile than those of Frank or Studs.
