Signs in Arizona warn of smuggler dangers
Drivers advised to travel north

The Invisible Hand #6: Interview with Zac Zimmerman of Zimmerman Oil

This week’s show includes my interview with Zac Zimmerman of Zimmerman Oil, who reveals the shocking information that the Bureau of Land Management was conducting a surprise inspection on the Deepwater Horizon just two hours before the oil rig exploded last month. He also discusses the disturbing nature of the armed BLM “SWAT teams” that have been dispatched by the President to inspect the rest of the oil rigs in the Gulf, and the foreboding possibility of a peak oil crisis in the future.

(A preview of this interview was posted on YouTube two days ago, and made mention on the Declare Your Independence radio show with Ernest Hancock in hour two of his program on Wednesday, May 5th, about 20 minutes in. Thanks Ernie!)...
