Two weeks ago, Chevron convened their yearly meeting of shareholders, where they discussed their record-breaking profits from 2008, and the future of their cash-flush company. But some of the things that weren't talked about in that meeting include the company's support of murderous dictators in Nigeria and Burma, their push for increased drilling off America's coastlines, and their lobbying efforts to get the government to approve more of their coal processing plants. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the real history of Chevron - the truth that the company doesn't want its shareholders to know about - with Antonia Juhasz, author of the book "The Tyranny of Oil."

1. I dumped my Chevron credit card 2 weeks ago.

I didn't use it much but when I did they charged me a 30% interest rate and constantly charged me a late fee even though the payment was mailed over 5 days before the due date.

Think of all the money these bastards made in the last 8 years and they still resort to ripping off their customers.

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

– Rev. 13:16-17

Welcome to the corporatocracy. The latest incarnation of the beast.
