It's just a prequel or brief sub-chapter of the control of energy resources whole epic saga, but about the time OPEC was founded, Enrico Mattei, the founder of ENI, the Italian state-owned energy company, confidently stood up to the Seven Sisters, i.e. the most powerful oil companies in the world at the time (Exxon, Shell, BP, Mobil, Chevron, Gulf Oil and Texaco.)
He died in a plane crash, not long after, probably because somebody placed an infernal machine, a timed explosive device, on his plane.
The sad history of international politics shows a determination to stamp out freedom whenever and wherever it arises. Evil perpetuates evil. “Peaceful slavery” desired over “dangerous freedom.”
Excellent history lesson and a timely reminder. Thank you Ms. Chung. Well done.
Que artículo más fantástico, Cynthia!
