3-12-17 Making Sure Our Readers Caught This Late Thursday Piece

If you missed it, please find our LATE Thursday piece on Crony Capitalism in Alaska and Washington right here.... We continue to ask to a non-responding bureaucracy: “Who in his right mind could think a $45 billion gas pipeline/LNG project could go well if it were owned by a non-accountable government of temporarily elected and appointed officials?” Big spending politicians, crony capitalists and related special interests seem to be in control of Alaska’s fate as we close out this week.

3-11-17 It’s Like ‘Peer Review’ When So Many Who Research ‘Climate Change’ Agree It Is A Fraudulent Technique To Redirect Power And Money!

Please reference: yesterday's Crony Capitalist commentary Yesterday we provided readers with a fairly detailed analysis of the Crony Capitalism that is inundating so much of the civilized world. Liberal politicians and their constituencies of "true believing useful idiots" have already brought the great republics and democracies of the world very close to socialist dictatorship. The commentary and links below just arrived in our mailbag today, the day after our Crony Capitalism commentary. In yesterday's piece, we carefully outlined how Cronyism is able to succeed because of its ability to convince a [...]

3-10-17 Crony Capitalists Exert Unwarranted Influence

Please scroll down for today's crony capitalist commentary Today, our Aussie Oil & Gas energy analyst friend observes that, "Overnight Repsol announced an onshore discovery of 1.3 B bbls - the largest in the US for 30 years. This follows on from similar sized discoveries in the State last year in the immediate offshore. Unfortunately prices will likely need to solidly hold above US$50 before these will be developed in this high cost (and high tax) location." We refer readers to the view of some that taxes do not [...]

2-28-17 Alaska Has Room To Cut Spending…But Do Its Elected Leaders Have The Will?

Does Alaska have a Spending Problem? Benchmarking is the Answer By Representative Lora Reinbold, February 26, 2017 Representative Lora Reinbold, Eagle River, Alaska. Northern Gas Pipelines file photo by Dave Harbour The Governor, some in the Legislature and even some prominent Alaskans don’t believe Alaska has a spending problem. They say that Alaska has a revenue problem and argue that Alaska needs to implement more revenue options, i.e. taking your money to fuel big government. Their tired refrain is simply to argue, “you can’t cut your way [...]

Breaking GOOD news HERE: tax settlement improves investment climate! North Slope Borough and ExxonMobil Alaska Production Inc. Settle Pt. Thomson Tax Appeals Wealth takers justify their appetite for tax increases by criticizing wealth producers by Dave Harbour Just last week... ...we reported on how a hostile legislator mistreated a representative of Alaska's largest group of taxpayers.

2-24-17 Politician Out Of Line….

From our Ak-Headlamp friends this sorry commentary on how one politician treats taxpayer representative: Representative Geran Tarr AOGA President, Kara Moriarty. Northern Gas Pipelines file photo by Dave Harbour Shots fired. At Wednesday’s house resource committee held on HB111.Kara Moriarty of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association was insulted by state consultant Rich Ruggiero’s comments. "He was insinuating that industry is not credible, and that these themes should not be believed. The reality is: the reason the industry does talk about stability, competition and jobs [...]

2-23-17 Oil/gas Investing in a fiscally challenged state run by a government considering energy industry tax increases in a low price environment!

We always appreciate Ak-Headlamp's analysis. Based on what you read today, we wonder if you will be buying oil stocks or selling? You certainly wouldn't be inclined to invest large sums of your own money in a remote, Alaska North Slope pipeline/LNG project run by temporarily elected and appointed politicians and bureaucrats, would you? You would? Well, how about if that state were teetering on fiscal collapse and considering raising taxes on the oil industry in a low price environment? -dh ______________________________________________________ Alaska Headlamp Commentary Yesterday, the Alaska State Senate [...]

2-16-17 Teamster Leader Sets Oil Tax Advocate Straight!

BREAKING NEWS, 2:40 EDT: TRANS CANADA REFILES FOR KEYSTONE XL ROUTE Posted By RICK BOYLES FOR THE JUNEAU EMPIRE Keeping the oil industry healthy An observation from educator/philosopher William James came to mind as I watched Robin Brena lecture the House Resources Committee a few days ago on his version of reality. “There’s nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it,” James wrote. Well, Brena repeated the words “fair share” 40 times during his two-hour, 71-slide presentation. In Brena’s mind, “fair share” [...]
