Antonia Juhasz Speaking at the Festival for the Future

This was an event which took place in Portland Oregon on March 2-4, 2008, organized by the Backbone Campaign, www.backboneampaign.org. Antonia Juhasz, author of, "The Bu$h Agenda: Invading the World one Economy at a Time," and "The Tyranny of Oil: the World's Most Powerful Industry and What We Can Do to Stop it."

Antonia speaks for about 10 minutes, "no change has ever come from an election alone; no change has ever, has ever come from an elected official alone. It only comes from movements, period, from people organizing......and not letting it be about one man, one elected official , but rather having it be what happens the day after the election, what happens next, how does the change actually come to be."

She speaks about the military buildup in Iraq to protect the oil, and that military base is also located right on the border of Iran. She speaks about contracts currently being negotiated with multi national oil companies that will guarantee we be in the area for at least the length of that contract to protect our interests in the oil, anywhere from three to 30 years.
