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!
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, Part #5, Part #6 and Part #7 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 Standard Oil brushed off Federal Prosecution like it was nothing!
Second Indictment
In 1949, GM, Firestone, Standard Oil of California and their officers and corporate associates were convicted on the second count of conspiracy. LINK
And what do you think was the punishment for abusing and causing the dismantlement of America's public transportation ecosystem?
A fine of $5,000.
It does not end there!
We also saw the bust of H.C. Grossman, who was Director of Pacific City Lines during the demolition of LA's $100 Million Pacific Electric system.
How do you expect this accomplice in a Global Conspiracy to be punished?
He was fined 1 US Dollar.
Not Much Jail Time Ensues
General Motors and their associates did not stay behind bars for long at all! Would you be surprised if I told you that in 1953 President Eisenhower gave Charles Wilson, who was the current President of General Motors, the title of Secretary of Defense.
Francis DuPont of the Rockefeller-connected DuPont family became Chief Administrator of Federal Highways. This was one largest public work projects in history.
The Creation Of The Interstate
After the war, tax on train tickets are still legislated and federally funded highways and airports are providing cheaper alternatives.
Railway travel declined 84% between 1945 and 1964. LINK
After The War
This tax paid off for Standard Oil, General Motors and all of the other petrochemical associates of Standard Oil.
In only two and a half decades after World War II, Vehicle production in Detroit nearly tripled. This meant they went from 4.5 million car productions a year in 1940 to over 11 million in 1965.
And without blinking, the sales of refined gasoline followed by rising in value by 300%.
European Oiligarchs Crush Competitiors
Meanwhile in Europe, rich European oligarchs were trying to secure their oil investments. This meant stopping upstart competitors by all means necessary.
By 1889, a group of German investors (led by Siemens' Deutsche Bank) received grants from the Turkish government to extend a railway line which would connect Berlin to Basra.
The Berlin-Baghdad Railway
This deal was so valued because the rail cut through the middle of mostly untapped Mesopotamian oil fields along the Tigris River.
This crucial railway gave these German Investors 90 years of access to some very mineral rich land. Many did not know this at the time. We now know that this access came with mineral rights for twenty kilometers of land on either side of this highway.
