wanna hear a something totally unexpected?
nigeria has a lot of oil! a shitload! and its the good "sweet" stuff (low sulfur), the kind you make gas out of. they are americas #5 oil importer, they contribute about 10% of all imported us oil.
"rebels"and "militants" have been making it hard on shell, mobil, chevron, and texaco lately, who all own significant interests in nigeria (obviously). makes you wonder why the media gives a shit all of the sudden, must be a coincidence.
see, the usa doesnt care if they all rape and kill each other, as long as the warlords keep that oil flowing. as soon as it stops flowing?
"oh the atrocities!!"
give me a fucking break, the media has turned a blind eye to their suffering for the most part, and all of the sudden, its a big deal? hundreds of girls get raped or tortured to death every week there. this isnt a new thing. so anyone that all of the sudden thinks this is a big deal (it IS a big deal, and has been for decades), either hasnt been paying attention on purpose, or is a brainwashed big oil puppet hack job dipshit, and is purposefully exploiting the current situation for a talking point.
