Fools are chanting NO BLOOD FOR OIL again. This is backwards. I wrote about it in 2014. At that time the neocons were channeling Wilson, claiming to serve “democracy”. In fact we didn’t want more oil, we just wanted to prevent other countries from using THEIR oil or minerals or food. We blew up Saddam’s oil wells, which should have been a clear indication!
Now Rubio has finally stated the plain truth. We don’t want Venezuela’s oil, we just want to kill and ruin and break because we’re evil.

Both political “sides” have a set of truly weird beliefs about the other “side”. Especially weird because the “sides” are identical in most ways.
One of the weirdest and most persistent is the left-wing “Blood For Oil” crap. Heard a rather extreme example of it today from some leftist caller on some radio show. He was saying that Ebola was created by CIA to get rid of Africans “so we could get the land.”
We’ve been running this neocon routine for 70 years now, beginning with Korea. At first we were jumping into existing conflicts and wasting huge amounts of money and lives for nothing. More recently we’ve been creating new conflicts and wasting huge amounts of money and lives for nothing.
WE HAVE NEVER “TAKEN THE FUCKING LAND”. We’ve never taken the fucking oil or the fucking diamonds or the fucking water power or the fucking gold or the fucking titanium or the fucking opium. We’ve never gotten ANY advantage from our imperial ventures. It’s not Blood For Oil, it’s just blood.
You don’t need to add mythical nonsense to your conspiracy theories. Plain old hardass reality is already evil beyond imagining.
