Wars for Oil? BP Profits hit record 13.4 billion

Do we have a worldwide economic brewing and is the war on terror a ruse for a money grab and restructuring the World political structure? We have two choices, a return to Gold or another fiat currency money scam with total surveillance through chips embedded directly in humans.
BP, the British oil giant, unveiled a 23 per cent rise in profits this morning, boosted by record global crude prices.

Replacement cost profit, which strips out unrealised gains from changes in the value of fuel stocks, hit a record $13.44 billion (£6.7 billion) during the first half of the year, up from $10.93 billion a year ago.

During the second quarter to June 30 2008, profits rose from $6.48 billion to an all-time high of $6.85 billion.

Despite the record result, the company said that it was struggling to restore earnings from its troubled US refining division and offered little news on TNK-BP, its Russian joint venture. Source
