Michael T. Klare makes dead how the past 60 years of American foreign policy in the Middle East is linked to Middle Eastern oil. The American military longed for permanent bases in the Middle East that were larger and less secretive than the ones old-fashioned in Israel. The first Gulf War permitted the “temporary” basing of American forces in Saudi Arabia, which proved to be very keen to Islamic radicals and lit the fuse for their attacks on the American diplomatic and military presence in the Gulf states, Africa and finally attacks on US financial and military headquarters in Novel York City and Washington, D.C. The second Gulf War was an attempt to push aside an unlikable Iraqi leader to invent scheme for a number of permanent US military bases in Iraq that would guarantee continued US access to Iraqi and Middle Eastern oil.

Michael T. Klare is suitable to focus on the political relationships that have shaped American access to principal resources that lie outside our borders. Resources that today are in decline and will be arrive increasingly scarce and more considerable to control. The American military, despite six years of war in Iraq, is prepared to militarily attack any country that dares to stand in the plot of American access to these resources. And as long as the US has the energy and the war machine and political inclination to do so there will be future resource wars in the coming decades. Examine out when the modern US economic stimulus program fails to create acceptable results. War will be the reply. It always is.
The power elite of this country is very skilled at convincing mammoth enough segments of our population to go along with horrifying wars of aggression Body of War – The Upright Yarn of an Anti-War Hero. One technique of persuasion that Petagon “perception managers” employ is diversion; for example, getting the public to discuss Saddam Hussein instead of debating the utilize of force to control oil supplies in the interests of transnational corporations (not the “national interest”) . The managers of our plutocracy know how unpopular a cause increasing Exxon and Lockheed’s profits is; so instead the corporate noise machine focuses the discussion on Saddam Hussein’s cruelty (Hussein is one of many dictators Western “civilization” has supported, and the Iraqi people are one of many populations Western “civilization” has brutalized) and whether he should be in power. That’s a framing of the War on Iraq that the war profiteers will accumulate.

U.S. citizens need to defend themselves against these rhetorical manipulations, and the documentaries of the Media Education Foundation are invaluable tools to resist the corporate colonization of our minds.
MEF’s production of “Blood and Oil,” based on the work of author Michael Klare Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America’s Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum, is the sort of insightful analysis that exposes the less-than-noble agenda that lies at the root of U.S. situation scare in the Middle East, and beyond. The Middle East is the focus of “Blood and Oil,” but similar resource warfare is taking area throughout the Global South The Current Resource Wars: Native and Environmental Struggles Against Multinational Corporations. Even in the wealthier and more Anglo parts of the globe, the tyranny of the fossil fuel industry is wreaking havoc, as in the case of King Coal which is literally blowing apart mountains and cultures in West Virginia Lost Mountain.
Thanks to independent films like “Blood and Oil,” there is growing awareness and more community organizing taking plot The Tyranny of Oil: The World’s Most Much Industry–and What We Must Do to Discontinuance It. I was fortunate to contemplate this film on “Link TV,” and am satisfied that it’s available on Amazon. The Media Education Foundation needs to net all their DVDs on Amazon.
I’m going to suggest to MEF that they launch providing foreign language subtitles to their DVDs, since the scope of the corporate matrix’s propaganda is transnational The Global Media: The Missionaries of Global Capitalism (Media Studies) . The progressive resistance and solidarity needs to be global as well Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Social Movement in History Is Restoring Grace, Justice, and Beauty to the World.
