    “There is not one of you who would dare write his honest opinion. The business of Journalism is now to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, fall at the feet of Mammon and sell himself for his daily bread. We are tools, vessels of rich men behind the scenes, we are jumping jacks. They pull the strings; we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are the properties of these men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” (…)

  • ARGENTINA : "The Disappeared."
    12 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Desaparecidos is the Spanish word for "The Disappeared." For thousands of Argentine families, this word has become a symbol of a long harrowing nightmare.
    In a coup on March 24, 1976, a military junta seized power in Argentina and went on a campaign to wipe out left-wing terrorism with terror far worse than the one they were combating. Between 1976 and 1983 - under military rule - thousands of people, most of them dissidents and innocent civilians unconnected with terrorism, were arrested (…)

    Participatory Democracy In Venezuela
    By: America Vera-Zavala - ZNet Commentary
    The learning process is a basic argument for, and an important outcome of, participatory democracy. Parallel to the decision-making, a process of learning takes place where people learn how different things work and function and how they can influence them: a budget, a health station, a community kitchen. Knowledge is required to participate in building up (…)

    Regarding Cheney’s secret energy meetings with Enron and others: "The VP has every right to secrecy. We don’t want the enemy to know who’s getting contracts, do we?"
    Regarding Bush lying us into war:

Everyone should read it to learn what’s really going on around us that affects us all in the most important ways I know and which most people at best only vaguely understand on many if not most of the major issues. Those who read it will learn in stunning and graphic detail how large (…)

    "Freedom is never given; it is won." — A. Philip Randolph*
    IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
    When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that (…)

    Statement of Purpose International Endowment for Democracy
    When someone asked what he thought about Western civilization, Mahatma Gandhi replied, "I think it would be a good idea". We are only saying the same thing about American democracy-"We think it would be a good idea".
