       The United states Navy begins escorting eleven reflagged (flying the U.s. flag) Kuwaiti super tankers, which carry petroleum, through the embattled Persian Gulf.

       NOTE: Between 1992 and 1999, the U.s. government spent “on the conservative side” 30,000,000,000 “dollars” per year to safeguard petroleum from the Persian Gulf, of which, only slightly more than 10,000,000,000 “dollars” (22% of all total imports) found their way into U.s. markets.  Were U.s. enemy/subject/citizens to pay this subsidy directly at the pump, (via the lawful, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 excise, instead of through the unlawful Federal income tax), it would mean adding a surcharge of approximately 200% onto the price of a gallon of gasoline.  This would make domestically produced oil, and renewable sources of energy, much more economically viable alternatives.
