Antonia Juhasz: "The Tyranny of Oil" Book Tour

PepperSpray producer Tacoma Joe LaSac scores a direct hit this week with "Tyranny of Oil".

Joe recorded Antonia's speech, condensed it down to Indymedia Presents time constraints, and b-rolled it so well it feels like Ms. Juhasz is narrating the piece.

In the current economic melt-down it is important to get a clear assessment of where the players are, and what they are up to. "Tyranny of Oil" does that and more.

"Tyranny of Oil" serves as a what-time-is-it with regard to oil, exposing Enron-style behavior--complete with manipulation of prices and rip-off schemes-- and corporate consolidation that would make the trust-busters roll over in their graves. After all, these giants are the same monopolies who were whittled down to size back in the day, and now they are bigger and more monopolistic than ever.

27 minutes out of my day. That's all this video/talk took. The implications of what Ms. Juhasz addresses are important but systematically dumbed-down and mis-represented by mainstream media, if at all. Great Video.
