What’s really behind the war that’s happening on our TV screens and on our devices? In a word, it’s money. When you think about what happened in Venezuela, think not of the kidnapping of the President and his wife, or even the imposition of the vice president. Think about the tons of oil that was taken and shipped to the United States. War is always about natural resources. It always has been. It always will be, because natural resources are the properties upon which corporations make their loot. Wars are about power, money, ego, but always about money. And when you see what’s happening in Iran, don’t be surprised if a vast amount of oil disappears, because ultimately, that’s what they thirst for, that’s what they’re interested in; not the people of Iran, not even the leaders of Iran, but the natural resources of Iran. Were it not for the natural resources of the Middle East, there wouldn’t be an American in the whole area, not to mention a corporation. When you ask what it’s about, remember, it’s about money. With love, not fear, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal.
