Time for a New Declaration of Independence (Putin is Desperate)

[dvduval]

Think about how our country was founded with the Declaration of Independence> Now please consider this in today's context. Please allow me to bring this together.

My last post didn't seem to get noticed, but I want to try again. If you look at the Russia GDP, it trends almost exactly with the price of oil. Putin has done nothing to build Russian infrastructure. Rather, he and his cronies are mobsters who simply manipulate the World economy to push the price of oil up another dollar. Another dollar is approximately another $4 Billion per year in their pocket.

EVERYTHING they do is about oil. Please look at some of the these key points:
1. Every conflict in the middle east increases likelihood oil won't be delivered, wells will be destroyed, etc.
2. Disbelief in global warming means people will not trust the "globalists" who want to get us off of oil, and instead use sustainable energy. They have funded even religious groups to help spread disbelief.
3. Russia is a close ally of Venezuela, and how much oil are they pumping/developing, compared with their capacity? Answer not much!
4. Russia is a close ally of Iran, and how much oil are they pumping/developing, compared with their capacity? Answer not much!
5. Convincing the citizens of countries like Great Britain, France, and the US to mistrust foreigners, especially those from the Middle East, means those countries are more likely to attack the Middle East, further destabilizing it, and doing the dirty work for Russia
6. In 1975, Ukraine was producing 68 BCM of natural gas, and now the number is around 25.
7. In 2017 Russia is has increased their involvement in Libya, supporting the group that is an enemy of the UN supported GNA.

It is all about instability! It doesn't matter which side they support. The main thing is there is instability in oil producing regions.

But there is so much going on that runs contrary to the price of oil increasing, and we stand at a precipice, where potentially it will be the end of an era for Putin and for instability-based oil oligarchies.
1. Electric cars!
2. Battery Gigafactories
3. Competition from the West through shale drilling. I know it sucks, but it really sabotages Putin until we can get more green energy online!
4. Solar getting cheaper than coal
5. Wind Farms and hydro electric rendering cities energy independent
6. Consumer based energy that (solar panels) that allow them to be energy independent.

It is time for the World to come together with a new Declaration of Independence. It is not just about no longer depending on oil. We will still need it for a while, but it is the right time now to commit to:
1. Calling out oligarchs who sabotage us for the price of oil.
2. Establishing access to clean and sustainable energy for every citizen of the World
3. Moving our plans forward faster to get more electric cars on the road, more solar and wind farms, energy efficient buildings (and improving existing ones), and so much more.

We have to put this out in the open so it is as plain as day! Putin knew Hillary would be for sustainable energy. Putin knew Trump would not, and further would help destabilize the Middle East. I can imagine this new Declaration of Independence talking about everything HE has done (Putin).

Could it be more clear than now? What are we waiting for? Impeachment? Don't wait. It is time to draft a new Declaration of Independence, and let all the World's citizens sign it! The critical mass needed can be achieved quickly if we make what is going on very clear!

1. Well, then, perhaps you should write up a draft of this

for comment. You can post your proposed Declaration right here.

2. I may not be able to do this alone...

But I think increased awareness may lead to something of this magnitude. The Paris Agreement has the beginnings of this, but the idea that Oligarchs are the source of most of our wars, and that "energy independence" is not just a buzz phrase, and that this is something that every citizen can soon enjoy by working together.

For too long we have been manipulated into voting against the very things that make our World more peaceful, and life more meaningful. And now the source of this manipulation is becoming increasingly clear. Vladimir Putin must be called out and exposed for the terrible things our World's citizens have endured as a result of his greed. The World needs independence from him by knowing that a energy independence is how we do that.

3. Aww...give it a try, eh?

Why not. Someone has to make a start, right?
