  • The US left could learn from Mexico’s example
    20 November 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Andrés Manuel López Obrador for President (of the US!!)
    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    Synopsis: Every election cycle, the US antiwar left reconvinces itself that its best chance of advancing its agenda is to dive once again into an alliance with the Democratic Party. Poor Charlie Brown! Is Lucy going to yank the ball away again? No suspense here....
    "The only game in town" is just one of the myriad cover stories used by the vestiges of the US left to justify continued support for the (…)

    Agitprop Capital of the World (the USA) Exports Its Poison to Venezuela - by Stephen Lendman
    Agitprop, electoral fraud and dirty tricks may not have been invented in the US, but they certainly were perfected in "the land of the free and home of the brave" that no longer is except in the mind’s eye of a diminishing number of diehards, true-believers and others still unaware of the real state of things in America. The clearest evidence was the theft of the last two presidential elections (…)

    Threats to Hugo Chavez As Venezuela’s December Presidential Election Approaches - by Stephen Lendman
    On December 3, 2006 voters in Venezuela will again get to choose who’ll lead them as President for the next six years. There’s no doubt who that will be as the people’s choice is the same man they first elected their leader in December, 1998 with 56% of the vote and reelected him in July, 2000 after the adoption of the Bolivarian Republic’s new Constitution with a 60% total. They then saw (…)

  • Like Che Guevera, President Chavez realizes that true power lies with the people

    Many in the United States celebrate Columbus Day today in honor of Christopher Columbus who discovered the New World in 1492. It was already inhabited by Native Americans and other indigenous people of this region and was discovered only by accident when Columbus was searching for a western route to Asian markets.
    Shortly after his discovery of this New World, the Europeans came...
    What you may not know of this day is that on October 9, 1967, Che Guevara was executed (…)

    As I think of the negative reactions coming from politicians within the United States in regards to President Chavez’ speech to the general assembly at the United Nations, a deeper psychology took place.
    It is not so much the man in Bush that Rangel, Pataki and Pelosi were protecting, but the institution itself.
    Most likely all three during these past six years have had their own negative thoughts concerning Bush and rightfully so. But, after September 11, 2001, (…)

    Bush Buys Land in Northern Paraguay
    Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region.
    Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in (…)

    Nancy Pelosi apparently has so much time on her hands, and so few other issues to address, that she saw fit to unload on Hugo Chavez following his appearance before the U.N. in New York. Most readers are familiar by now with Chavez’ provocative swipes at "Devil" Bush and his comment that the titular head of U.S. empire had left the place reeking of sulfur from his earlier appearance.
    Is this run-of-the-mill Pablum of the Poor what angered Democratic Party (…)

    BBC Guilty of Venality in Its Misreporting on Venezuela - by Stephen Lendman
    Listeners and viewers expecting to find a safe alternative to the corporate-controlled media by turning to the BBC better reconsider their choice based on the vaunted news organization’s reporting on Venezuela and specifically on the misinformation it put out in an online piece on October 8 titled - "Mass Venezuela opposition rally."

    Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (June 14, 1928 - October 9, 1967), commonly known as Che Guevara or el Che, was an Argentine-born medical doctor best known as a Marxist, politician, and leader of Cuban and internationalist guerrillas. As a young man studying medicine, Guevara traveled rough throughout Latin America, bringing him into direct contact with the impoverished conditions in which many people lived. Through these experiences he became convinced that only revolution could remedy the (…)
