Once upon a time there was this group of people who owned oil wells. They weren't making much money so they decided to hire a terrorist to occasionally blow up their oil wells so they could justify raising their prices.The terrorism didn't really work because the rest of the world wasn't paying attention, so they tried an embargo. There were huge lines of people waiting for gas at pumps in America, and prices started to go up, but it was not enough.
Finally they financed terrorist trips to America for "college". The terrorists were monitored by American military to make sure nothing went wrong, and they were right. Nothing went wrong. Everything went as planned.
The terrorists hijacked airlines and flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Gas prices went up, and Exxon Mobile made 7.64 Billion dollars, Shell made 5.24 Billion dollars, and Conoco Phillips made 3.13 Billion Dollars. All in just the second quarter of 2005.
The oil companies got a double-bonus because now that the public was scared of terrorists, nobody would complain about tax money flooding into the pockets of big oil, and nobody was paying attention to the genocide starvation of the Nigerian Ogoni tribe by ##### Corporation.
The End
