About Us

The War Profiteers website is maintained and updated by CorpWatch, an organization based in
Oakland , California , that counters corporate-led globalization through education, network-building and activism. The orginal site was created by the Ruckus Society, an organization that specializes in engaging nonviolent direct action, also based in
Oakland , California .

 
The War Profiteers card deck was created by an independent crew of activists -- educators, journalists, designers, organizers, techies and others -- disturbed by the obscene concentration of power in the hands of an elite few who control the world's wealth and manipulate democracy through governments and corporations. Warprofiteers.com and the corresponding deck of cards is our way of drawing attention to those institutions and individuals who view war, death, repression and violence as 'a safe bet.' We are here to call their bluff.
