A Different Kind of War Deck

The Ruckus Society, an Oakland CA activist group, has created a different kind of "52 Most Wanted" deck:

"RUCKUS SOCIETY War Profiteers Playing Cards - $9.00 ($10.00 list)
Hot off the presses! The perfect playing cards for your progressive poker night, or to give to your favorite crotchety conservative! Fight the Right with wit and facts- every hand's an intellectual winner!

The War Profiteers Card Deck exposes some of the real war criminals in the US's endless War of Terror. This is no Sunday bridge club. These are individuals and institutions that stack the deck against democracy in the rigged game of global power. Exposing their place in the house of cards illuminates the links among corporations, institutions, and government officials that profit from endless war. The US War of Terror is not about liberation, democracy, or UN resolutions. Plainly put, the War of Terror--whether in Iraq, Colombia, Afghanistan, or the USA--is about subjugation, resource extraction, and opening markets: a practice once referred to more honestly as colonialism."

Distribution is being handled via Alternative Tentacles Records, Jello Biafra's label.
