I forget now what news report I was watching -- they all look alike these days -- but in one of the stories they'd made mention of something I'd completely forgotten about. Not only are Bush & Cheney "oil men", Condoleeza Rice, it seems, is too. It came as quite a re-revelation. I remember that Condoleeza had worked for some years for Chevron Corporation, & that she'd even had an oil tanker named after her. Can you believe it? An oil tanker.
Naturally, after Condoleeza started working for the Bush admin, the name of the tanker was changed. It just wouldn't be appropriate to have an oil tanker named after you, considering the agenda in question.
But this really made me think. The war & anti-Bush protesters have been saying carries considerably more weight. The whole war, &, perhaps, our whole post-9/11...& maybe even 9/11 itself...may very well be all about oil. Anyone remember the film "Three Days of the Condor"? That's what the whole conspiracy in that movie came down to. Oil.
But there's more. If the Bush agenda really is all about oil, what else have we been led to forget in the pasts of these three individuals? We know that the American, &, it seems, the world press, generally, are not allowed to present some facts or print or air certain stories. Whether this is caused by pressure by the government or because the rich bastards who control the news media are conservative & pro-Bush, or simply because they're rich & politicians are rich, it's nothing but a big "boys club", I certainly can't say.
Whatever is the cause of our convenient forgetfulness, the fact continues to stare us all in the face. Only the rich are reaping the rewards of conquest. Only the rich are capable of making their own destinies. And we all have a part in making their destinies, as opposed to our own. Clearly, the mass-conspiracy I'd always feared existed -- didn't want to believe was possible, is in full force.
Forget Canada. I'm really off for Chile.
