Why
I made the t-shirt Will Kill for Oil
The
Will Kill for Oil design shows what Bush might reveal about
himself and his wars if he wasn't always lying. Not that the war
is only about oil. Certainly it is also about empire and global
hegemony. But, you can only fit so much onto a t-shirt, and only
so much can be expected to be read by passersby who see the shirt.
The
Will Kill for Oil design also
points out that Bush is counting on the money (and complacency)
of the population in the US. Having Bush in the lowly position of
a person on the side of the road asking for food or money (i.e.
a person with a sign like "will work for food"), takes
the spin off and shows that Bush is dependent on US taxpayers and
their money. Bush will kill for oil, but he can't do it without
the help and participation of the American people.
Currently Bush
and his cronies in the administration and in Congress are using
fear to reverse the power dynamic. They are telling us we must give
them our tax money and give up our rights so that they can take
action to protect us from terrorism. They are wrong, whether they
know it or not. Bush's presumption of power and authority to make
war against other nations and peoples and against the US Constitution
can be upset in the future by turning the uninformed consent of
people who buy Bush's line into informed dissent.
The Will
Kill for Oil design (on t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, stickers,
and postcards)
is intended to be one of many drops of water flowing against the
mainstream current that nods and accepts the status quo thrust upon
us by our "leaders". View
