With the aid of most establishment politicians and the whoremedia the petroleum industry has been infecting the global dialogue about energy—and thereby sentencing the world’s living creatures—to death for quite some time. The above is just one example (disseminated seven years ago) that jumps off of the page due to the fact that today many more people are conscious that climate change is an undeniable reality.
The people behind this abject propaganda (leave aside Fox News and the wishy-washy mainstream media, for a moment, that’s another story), are the same folks who gave us the Exxon Valdez disaster, and more recently committed ecocide on the Gulf of Mexico, with almost total impunity. The same who to this day force humanity to drag its feet in turning away from hydrocarbons and who are now pushing for fracking on a massive national and international scale (ask Obama and Hillary, who were leaders in this initiative). And the same class that gave us constant wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and tomorrow God knows where. What kind of punishment could ever fit this crime? BTW, this propaganda ad was prepared by one of the many oil industry fronts, the “Competitive Enterprise Institute” (CEI).. The very existence of these ads, the fact that many people willingly and even eagerly lend their talents and skills to their production—copywriters, television producers, film directors, narrators, editors, and actors—proves that there’s still too many indecent people in this world to secure its timely salvation. —Sean Lenihan

BROOKE ALEXANDER
Beauty and poise at the service of corporate evil.
What does she do? She fronts for the notorious American Petroleum Institute, a leading bastion of oil industry propaganda. Her latest forays, behind the false claims that more hydrocarbons will mean “energy independence and more jobs”, are in the service of selling us fracking. Does this lady have the faintest idea what she’s doing with her talents?

The corporate crony state knows how to sell its poison. Just get some National Geographic shots of a pristine environment, add an attractive benign appearing narrator and let the cameras and lies roll! Add a few words from the corporate, sweetly smiling Prez and you have a combination that beguiles all but the bookish, critical thinking few. Those nasty glaciers melting like ice cream on a July day, no problem! Who needs them any way? A few polar bears? The predictors of doom, those pesky folk with their scientific projections might have foretold have been publicly put to ridicule. The… Read more »
