Dirty oil, the lifeblood of the world economy is the vital ingredient in everything from transport to petro-chemicals to agriculture (fertilizer & chemicals). The handful of massive corporations and producer countries that control the global oil industry are among the richest and most powerful interests on the planet. Since the election of George W. Bush, U.S. oil interests now effectively control the federal government of that country.

Oil corporations along with their corrupt and willing host governments are responsible directly and indirectly for wars, human rights abuses and massive pollution in Russia, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
