[wordup] War profiteering card deck

[Adam Shand]

This is kinda funny.

he War Profiteers Card Deck exposes some of the real war criminals in 
the US’s endless War of Terror. This is no Sunday bridge club. These are 
individuals and institutions that stack the deck against democracy in 
the rigged game of global power. Exposing their place in the house of 
cards illuminates the links among corporations, institutions, and 
government officials that profit from endless war. The US War of Terror 
is not about liberation, democracy, or UN resolutions. Plainly put, the 
War of Terror--whether in Iraq, Colombia, Afghanistan, or the USA--is 
about subjugation, resource extraction, and opening markets: a practice 
once referred to more honestly as colonialism.

Each suit in this deck represents a category of war profiteers:

[spades]   Oil, gas, and energy companies
[hearts]   US government officials (because they love you)
[clubs]    Military and defense contractors
[diamonds] Heads of industry, finance, media, policy, and hype

This deck is designed to support on-going campaigns against many of the 
evil-doers present here. For more extensive information on each of the 
players and how you can get involved, please refer to the links section 
at the bottom of each profile.

George W. Bush, Jr.
Petty Dictator, United States of America

His failings are no joke. As Texas governor, Bush executed a record 152 
people. As president, he earned the US "most hated nation" status. A 
failed oil exec, Jr.'s fraudulent election ushered in Endless War. 
You're either with him or against him. What's it gonna be?
