Our Government and Big Oil
by James Buchanan
If the US government actually cared about its own citizens, it would maintain a policy of neutrality in the Third World. It would buy oil and other natural resources at market values and encourage Third World nations to live at peace with each other.

One veteran has now stepped forward and given a detailed account of how he and others in special teams, moved forward of the front, behind enemy lines ahead of US forces, set explosive and incendiary charges on the well heads, and remained hidden until after the charges were remotely detonated and US forces advanced beyond their position.” (more…)
