Think about it.

A heroin addict will rob grannies for a fix.

We will promote misogyny in Saudi Arabia, encourage coups in Venezuela, allow inequality in Iraq, silence democrats in Burma, ingnore genocides in Darfur for a fix of oil.

Gordon Brown has just announced that we are to start re-training Nigerian soldiers, so they can "restore order".
Mend, is an organisation that has stopped oil production in Nigeria by 30%. This is a big reason for the huge rise in oil prices. Who are they? They are an organisation fed up with us, the US, and Chevron, Shell et al. using the Nigerian army as a tool to supress their protests about what oil has done to them.

Protesters have been murdered, their fisheries have been toxified, the land has been poisoned.

Their demands are very reasonable. They want $1.5 billion in compensation for the environmental havoc the oil companies have cause. They want a 50% claim on all the oil pumped out of their land. And they want their leaders freed.

When you have no schools or hospitals, no electricity or water, those demands become even more reasonable. It won't be cheap, but oil prices wouldn't increase as a direct result, they'll increase anyway.

You want peace in Iraq? Do the same. Give the Iraqis their oil. Pay them their reparations.

A women was almost lashed last year for being raped in Saudi Arabia. A women is holding her dead baby in a flaming market in Baghdad. Little girls are being raped in Burma. Children are crippled and burnt in the Nigerian delta.

And it's all your fault.

You want to stop literacy and improving healthcare in Venezuela. You want genocide in Darfur.

Of course I'm sure you don't. But these are the means to justify the ends of more oil. When you scream at Brown for oil, you are helping human rights abuses.

So, we must become energy independent. The government has introduced a planning bill which stops nimby's objecting to wind power. And we must help stop human rights abuses. We must end our oil addiction.

Listen to these people's demands. Let the people on the delta have 50% of their oil. It will transform the country.

If you don't believe me, look at Venezuela. For decades, the media barons, and the uber-rich, as well as the Americains all stuffed their faces in the oil trough. Chavez, who has won many democratic elections, increased oil profits to the state from 1 per cent, to 33 per cent. The lives of many have been tranformed.

So we invented lies. He hates democracy, because he shut down an opposition station. Look at the media today, and they are in almost total opposition to him. He supports FARC, even though Interpol have not accepted the validity of these claims when investigating FARC.

Let the Iraqis share the oil. Let the Nigerians share their oil. We won't decrease oil prices. But we'll stop propagating tyranny.

No one said rehab was easy.
