Big Oil and Gas Versus Democracy—Winner Take All
In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon. Unlikely as it might seem, there is a thread connecting these events, and Rachel Maddow follows it to its crooked source: the unimaginably lucrative and equally corrupting oil and gas industry.
With his trademark black humor, Maddow takes us on a switchback journey around the world, revealing the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas along the way, and draw a surprising conclusion why the Russian government hacked into the US election 2016. She skillfully shows how rich crude oil reserves of Russia have, paradoxically, stunting of growth, forcing Putin to maintain power by spreading rot of Russia in his rivals, his neighbors, alliances the most important of the West, and the United States. Chevron, BP, and a host of other industry players get their turn to star, including ExxonMobil and well behaved deceptively Rex Tillerson. The oil and gas industry has weakened democracy in developed and developing countries, oceans and rivers polluted and supported authoritarian thieves and killers. But being outraged, he is, according to Maddow, "as being outraged when a lion taking down a gazelle and eats. You can not really blame the lion. It is in his nature ".
Download Free E-Books Blowout is a call to contain the lion: to stop subsidizing the wealthiest businesses on earth, to fight for transparency, and to check the influence of the world’s most destructive industry and its enablers. The stakes have never been higher. As Maddow writes, “Democracy either wins this one or disappears.”
