The oil men sit in their towers. They count the money. Fifteen percent profit on every barrel. Clean and fat. Then Iran says give us a dollar a barrel for the strait. Safe passage through the water that carries the world’s blood. And the oil men pick up the phone. They call the White House. No deal. No peace. Not if it touches our cut.
This is corporate America. Private monopoly with its teeth in the throat of the planet. Blackmail in plain sight. They hold the talks hostage. Men die in the desert for less. Wars start and end for less. But these bastards will not give an inch. Peace is cheap. Their margin is holy.
They suck the black oil from the ground. They sell it back at ten times the cost. They fly in private jets and preach freedom. Then one small toll appears and they scream like wounded dogs. Profit whores every one of them. They own the game. They rig the peace. The world bleeds so their numbers stay green.
Look at them. Really look. These are the men holding tomorrow for ransom.
