Revenues from North American oil that have gone into the Middle East

Revenues from Middle Eastern oil that have gone into the West

UNIMAGINABLE AMOUNTS

And a graph of the poverty created by corrupt elites in the West who keep corrupt regimes in place in the Middle East, in order to assure the flow of oil money into offshore bank accounts

Poverty happens when resource money is diverted to the rich and then shielded from taxation.

The tax havens are in the West.

    It’s a slow slug – – I think the answer will come through the alternate media. Eventually. I remain encouraged by the large number of activist groups, and hope more people will step in to help fund them. Some of the very best are in danger of going down for lack of funds. That’s worrisome.
