Bloody Oil - Drum Em Out

On Monday the 21st June 2010 In protest over The World National Oil Companies Congress protester marched from London's Tate Modern to the Grange St Paul's Hotel where In the middle of the death and destruction sown by oil companies all over the world, the industry's "greatest minds" gathered together to celebrate and plan more carnage.

A people's court was held outside the conference venue, where, in co-ordination with ADIEYIEMANFO Movement of Positive Action Networks who are fighting oil exploitation in Ghana, they put the oil executives on trial for:
Wholesale wanton destruction by pollution, leaks, and flaring, of land and sea, fish and fowl, human lives and livelihoods, present and future

- Waging wars for oil
- Changing the climate to create an uninhabitable planet. And as oil runs out, pursuing ever more costly and dangerous deposits from the depths of the ocean or from tar sands, instead of developing clean, sustainable forms of energy.

The organizers for this event in Ghana say:

"Oil drilling is being violently forced upon us in West Afrika with huge blood spilling. Our only defence is grassroots community self-empowerment . . . . Let us therefore all rise up to the solidarity beat of our unifying peoples' power across borders and drum out the plundering criminals! . . . Neocolonialist and imperialist States and vampire capitalist transnational corporations must never be trusted with control over dangerous fossil fuels such as Oil."

The protest even handed out a "Dead Fish Award" in a ceremony pre-empting Tuesday's gala dinner and awards ceremony, companies fought it out for the prestigious Dead Fish Award. See who took the title, would it be BP? Shell? Chevron?

It's easy to pick on oil companies, but people still buy their oil.

Western consumers are ultimately responsible for this.
