LOL! REPRIMANDED! RIGHT!
Naughty oil-boys!
You know that bad treatment of foreign workers has been going on for decades already, in 'OPEC-lAND'.
Especially,the abuse of Asian/African third world country nationals,where even a loaf of bread is luxury.
Their passports are confiscated and they find all sorts of excuses not to pay them,monthly on time,the 'living'/existing conditions are appalling with backbreaking shifts,12-14 hours daily,six days a week(supposed to be occasional over-time)because they have no union cover to protect their workers rights.
All for a tax-free salary that can earn them more in 2-4 years than they could earn AT HOME,in a lifetime.But boy do they suffer for it.
You would have thought that with all their oil profits,spiritual benevolence,and good conscience,that the OIL-BOYS would pay them on time,treat them fairly and respectfully,and house them in something better than stinking desert trailers.
But no,the oil-profits go straight into WEAPONS deals,business sky-scrapers with gold fawcetts in the B-DAY rooms etc owned by the Sheiks/Princes etc,and private jets for the boys!
Oil prices jump because war-mongerers need to buy MORE weapons,to kill,in order to make MORE PROFIT.Oil-blood-Oil!
The House of Saud rakes in BILLIONS,just like Exxon,Chevron etc,and goes straight into family tax-free 'haven' accounts or weapons(not armies please note,except for Royal National Guard etc)
And,all the 'Royalies' in the 'GULFIES' do the same!
AND still,every Friday,the THOUSANDS OF ordinary poor people line up at each Sheiks House or luxury desert-tent and beg for handouts/tithes etc as if THAT was the great benevolent gesture.
The basic infrastructure and quality of life at access to the 80% poor is NEGLIGABLE in comparison to the luxuries of the top 20% of the population.
Bit like America really.LOL!
We(America)also use and abuse foreign workers too,usually the illegal immigrants,because we know they haven't got ANY RIGHTS legally,and will put up with a lot of c***,just to get very little(comparatively)in order to send it home to support the extended families.
If the Middle East/Gulf region is past PEAK OIL, you can bet EVERYONE in the OILY business,is going to MILK us(the consumers)for all we have,at the pump.
Buy those weapons,build those massive buildings quick,before their grandchildren have to swap their private jets in for good ole' CAMELS again!lol!
The money we pay at the pump will be paying for a war and to build/protect new gas/oil pipelines running from Asia(Afghanistan),thru' Southern Persia(Iran,Turkmenistan etc),thru'the Near East(Syria/Jordan) and out thru' Israel to the sunny Mediterranean,and linking up pipelines with the North Africa boys(Egypt,Libya,Algeria etc)!
What? Yawl' thought they were shaking hands FOR PEACE and HUMANITY?
No way bro!
Obviously everyone who OWNS the oil will benefit HIGHLY,and everyone else PAYS UP,in money OR BLOOD!
LOL! "Happy days are here again......"

Everything comes round again...
Stone to sand and water-water,sand to stone!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom!

It is disgusting how these greedy oil fat cats are not satisfied with all the huge profits that they still have to take advantage of the poor workers. I'm sure that their buddy George W. has reprimanded them.

Skyrocketing oil and natural gas prices in the second quarter of this year led ExxonMobil to report the highest profit ever by an American company. In spite of falling production and rising operating costs, Exxon brought in a 138 billion dollars in revenue and reported an astounding net income of 11.7 billion dollars.

I've spent several hours listening to experts on various business shows on television trying to explain why oil prices keep rising and the relationship between a depreciated dollar and oil prices, Peak Oil, and so on. I'm not an oil expert but why is it that whenever the U.S. rattles the saber towards Iran, oil prices jump a notch or two? And who is profiting from all of this?
