Victims and Perpetrators of Oil Imperialism

Victims can change. But the Perpetrators have remained the same for a century. Something MUST be done about the U.S.-UK international OIL CARTEL for the sake of peace,social&political justice, and to deal with doomsday Global Warming. Grassroots Public Information Campaigning is the ONLY WAY to overcome the Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis.

Victims and Perpetrators of Oil Imperialism


Question: What do the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon,  the intended war in Iran, AND doomsday Global Warming have in common?

Answer:  The history of Oil Imperialism


OIL and the GIANT U.S.-UK international OIL CARTEL, and the Cartel's virtual ownership of Governments (e.g. the Bush-Republican and Blair-New Labour regimes), represent the bottom line of military aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq (twice), Israel's current aggression against Lebanon, and the planned war on Iran.   It is also the bottom line of doomsday Global Warming causation.

WHAT/WHO is the U.S.-UK Oil Cartel ?  They are corporations and the major shareholders who control them.

(OPEC countries, it should be pointed out,  essentially accept royalty payments from the U.S.-UK cartel boss. See, on the Indymedia UK website, this author's book review of William Engdahl's A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order.)

WHO are they?  The principals are Exxon-Mobil-Chevron (USA -- all are Rockefeller family-dominated; Condoleezza Rice a former director of Chevron) and the minor partner in the firm,  BP and Shell (UK).  All of them have long, ugly track records.
 

Looking at the historical big picture, just one little little result of this Cartel's power is the Iraq War (to seize hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil AND, also, extremely valuable WATER sources), preceded by the invasion of Afghanistan (to establish oil&gas pipelines delivering oil&gas from Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent, and to establish a strategic point regarding Europe). 

 Another little little little result is Israel's military aggression against Lebanon (designed to help control the Middle East for the U.S.-UK Oil Cartel).

Something is done to terminate the incredible power of
this Oil Cartel,  or Nature on Planet Earth (which includes Human Beings, you know)  is finished.  Not to mention social justice and political democracy.

What can be done?  How to overcome the Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis?

Conduct Grassroots Public Information Campaigns (door-to-door leafleting/talking) to educate and politically activate the GENERAL PUBLIC on this subject.  And concentrate particularly on UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.

Stop forever talking to "the Converted" !! The Converted ought to be educating and politically a
