The Blog Raymond J. Learsy: The Gouging Starts At The Oil Well The Huffington Post: "The price of crude (which makes up more than 60 percent of the price of gasoline) has doubled in the last two years. Through a series of manipulated price hikes and phony production constraints orchestrated by the OPEC cartel and abetted by big oil companies and the lobbyists and politicians that serve them. These players have persuaded us and lulled our government into accepting and repeating the fiction that crude prices are out of our control and dictated by free market forces. And the media has for the most part accepted this as gospel without a critical nor questioning eye."
