A handful of giant oil companies that met secretly with Vice President Dick Cheney in 2001 are poised to get “unusual” no-bid contracts from the Iraqi government to boost production — further proof that the U.S. invaded Iraq for oil, says Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

    Well said brother. It’s only when ppl realize that essence of civilization the self-respect of each every citizen that stems from his/her _self_ _sufficiency_. Clean sources of power that are produce clean energy on a local or even domestic level are key for success in this stated goal of self-redundance. And its achievable even with the current level of technology. We need to brake away from all these plutocrats and their `social drugs’ they forcefeeding us with. (oil, weapons etc).

    This the reason why mass people need to be educated on the alternative energy systems like energy amplifiers, vacume energy or the lessor; solar & wind power so that the only thing the gov hear is the demand for free or alternative energy for every home. I have links to alternative energy systems on my channel.

    I recommend Vincent Bugliosi’s best selling book: “The prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder”. It’s on the NY Times bestseller list, but you will notice not one of the Main Stream Media has mentioned this fact. What’s up with that? You know in your heart what’s up with that. We are no longer a democracy, but pawns in a horrific Orwellian scenario. Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich are the only truth tellers in congress. Share this video..spread the word. Wake Up America! We Must Wake Up!

  11. ghahandi Says:

    And These oil …
    And These oil contracts go without competitive bidding. See a pattern here in Iraq? Halliburton, “DICK” Cheney’s company, has racked in billions on it’s “no compete” contract in Iraq. Not to mention Halliburton has been caught cheating and stealing tens of millions on servives never rendered. Our young soldiers are dying to make cheney & Big Oil richer. Wake Up! Off Shore drilling of protected waters is not a solution. Alternative clean fuel IS! Wake UP!!

    Two weeks ago, The …
    Two weeks ago, The first big American Oil company took control of Iraq oil. Dennis speaks from the heart. And McCain will give Big Oil & the rich more tax breaks. They already pay a huge disproportionate amount of taxes as it is compared to Mom & Pop America. Why more Americans don’t see this obvious truth baffles me. McCain is pushing the same Evil New World Order; The NeoCons plan for world domination by Corporate America. Europeans see it and they don’t like it. Wake Up! Stop this madness!

    Thanks Satwa: I’ll check the documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car”…Doesn’t surprise me. Did you see “Tucker” Jeff Bridges played Tucker. He built a total of 48 cars. ( I think in 1948) that was ahead of ots time in design and safety. The Big Three Automakers had Senators in their collective back pocket..they successfully stopped the Tucker from production, destroyed the car and the man. Nohing changes. Now they want a the US taxpayers to give the 25 billion so they can retool. So corrupt.

    Always speaking the truth. Then they lump you in there with the likes of Mike Gravel. And, surprise, wasn’t he also speaking the truth half the time.

    God. I hope these people pay.

    SPREAD THIS VIDEO. IT MUST GO VIRAL. Dennis is on the last American Heroes. He’s not afraid of the NEOCON Nazis. What he lays out in this video is the truth. Why do you think McCain said we will have a military presence for a hundred years? It ain’t because we are a bastion of DEMOCRACY! It’s OIL~!!! BIG OIL! And Cheney’s Halliburton stock is up nearly FIVE TIMES it’s value when he took office. WHY? No Bid contract? AND BIG OIL. We WILL DIE TO KEEP THIS ERS RICH>>WAKE UP!

    Indications are that Enron and the neocon White House were working closely with the Taliban — including Osama bin Laden — up to weeks before the Sept. 11 attack.

    The Bush Oil Team, and their neocon drivers can momentarily rely on the support of the interim Prime Minister of Afghanistan, may think that war and oil profits mix, but there is simply too much evidence that the War in Afghanistan was primarily about building UNOCAL’s pipeline, not about fighting terrorism. 911 was a GLADIO cloak!
