The Roots of the Bush-Cheney's Oil Government

The Roots of the Bush-Cheney's Oil Government: " Most frightening to me -
as it should be to all Americans - is that
our country is now RUN by oil executives
- men from the very same club to which the
ExxonMobil's Indonesian robber barons belong.Men with, it is becoming obvious,
the very same attitude. In a reined-in repeat of the Suharno Coup and post-coup
corporate feeding frenzy in which Suharto richly rewarded all those who aided
him, the Bush-Cheney consortium has lost no time handing out the prizes, seeking
to reduce regulations, promoting wholesale drilling, creating a phoney energy
crisis and driving up fuel prices, stalking unspoiled wildlands and even trying
to push for legislation to allow the fed to seize private land for energy
interests. The series of coincidental fires at oil refineries and the rolling
blackouts aren't so different from mysteriously lobbed hand-grenades.
And lest we overlook it, the basic Bush energy plan appears to have been
taken almost it for tat from the Baker Institute's 'Strategic Energy Policy
Changes for the 21st Century' report - a report created by a task force that
includes two dozen major oil/energy moguls and also Kissinger Associates. (now
McCarty Kissinger)
How can the behemoths (as one Indonesian writer described the American
corporate-fueled government) be stopped? The question that screams to be asked
is: Why are the stockholders silent on the crimes of the company in which they
hold a material interest? For that matter, why are there still any stockholders
in Exxon at all, in the face of such crimes? Is money so important that nothing
- however evil - matters any more?"
