Another Blood for Oil War Starts

by Justice
Another blood for oil war is being perpetrated by the oil companies with our tax dollars, this time in Afghanistan so Unocal can build an oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean via Afghanistan. Just as with Vietnam, the CIA perpetrated a horrifying incident to justify fascism at home and war abroad. From the Internationale, we say: "Tis the final conflict, let each stand in one's place, the international workingclass shall be the human race."
Another blood for oil war is being perpetrated by the oil companies with our tax dollars, this time in Afghanistan so Unocal can build an oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean via Afghanistan. This blood for oil war is enthusiastically supported by the Democratic and Republican parties, the twin parties of capitalism. Please stop voting for the candidates of these parties. Just as with Vietnam, the CIA perpetrated a horrifying incident to justify fascism at home and war abroad. As we read the below horrifying news of innocent people dying so Unocal can maximize its profits, it is worth recalling the words of a veteran of another blood for oil war, also promoted via a false pretext, namely the Vietnam War, the veteran being Ron Kovic of "Born on the 4th of July" fame who has sat in a wheelchair for over 30 years as a result of his wartime injuries:
"I am the living death
the memorial day on wheels
I am your Yankee Doodle Dandy
Your John Wayne come home
Your fourth of July firecracker
Exploding in the grave."

And from the Internationale, we say: "Tis the final conflict, let each stand in one's place, the international workingclass shall be the human race."
