To outside observers who get their facts from the bourgeois media it would seem that Chavez is going "too fast". But the ordinary working people of Venezuela are demanding immediate action. They live in such conditions that they can wait no longer. An interesting comment by Michael Lebowitz.
________________________________________ "What's the rationale for allowing Chavez to govern by decree?" Why such a "precipitous approach"? As the apparent resident apologist (or, let's just say, on-site interpreter) for the Bolivarian Revolution, I get questions like this regularly from friends who don't know much about Venezuela but do know what they don't like (from reading the always unbiased and objective capitalist press). Of course, I'm not alone in this respect: others here get the same questions from outside: How can Chavez do this? How can you justify this? The implicit question, of course, always is -- how can I (the enquirer) continue to say (and think) nice things about the Bolivarian Revolution when HE does this? How can I (the enquirer) justify the process to my friends (colleagues)? A single party, rule by decree -- isn't this the road to Stalinism and to the gulag?
Ten student activists were arrested on Wednesday, January 31st in San Salvador, after having participated in a march against the new anti-terrorist law proposed by the ruling ARENA party (the party which was in power during the dirty war and death squads in the 1980s).
The march, which saw the participation of nearly 2,000 students, started from the National University UES at 8am and ended at the National Assembly. Throughout the march, the students were closely watched by the Unit for the Maintenance of Order and by special agents of the National Civilian Police.
Back in December, news outlets across the country reported on aq lurid incident in which a pit bull puppy chewed the toes off an infant as its parents slept. Remember? Someone on this site even posted it as a comment to buttress fears about this breed of dog. Here is an interesting update, which was not covered at all in the corporate press. Apparently, like many stories of pitbull "attacks," it was a lie. It was not a pit bull "attack." It was a ferret.
We will post updates as to charges, and let you know when these folks are released.

The third labor market is not a panacea. However it it the only possibility for bringing a large number of persons into meaningful employment.. Whoever wants to stop rightwing extremists must take the bottom out of their arguments and expand the labor market.
The 'Save Darfur' campaign represents a triumph of perception management in the ongoing efforts of western powers to camouflage their operations in Africa. It adopts the same template as the 'Save Kosovo' campaign of the last century which was used to destabilize the former Yugoslavia and provide cruise missile liberals with a rationale to lock arms with the North Atlantic Treaty organization and the Clinton administration.

![]() ![]() At the moment a relentless and unmistakable American buildup for war against Iran is currently underway. Military preparations are being accompanied by a daily barrage of propaganda against Tehran issuing from US sources and relayed uncritically via a compliant media. The chief accusation currently being levelled against the Iranian regime is that its agents are supporting and arming Shiite militias inside Iraq to attack US troops—a charge that has yet to be substantiated with concrete evidence.
Quoting the same sources that manufactured intelligence for the Iraq invasion, former DCI James Woolsey, author of "This is World War 4" suggests the approach of another "war for oil": "Along the lines of recommendations made a year ago by the Committee on the Present Danger (which I co-chair with former Secretary of State George Shultz), and by Iran experts such as Michael Ledeen..."

According to sources interviewed by Black Box Voting, the women were offered plea bargains but declined, and their supervisors were never publicly required to account for the illegal manipulation of Cuyahoga County ballots during the 2004 recount of the presidential election.

You've seen the commercials: Drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) claims to have unlocked the secret to a mysterious "syndrome" that is "afflicting" many Americans. Dubbed "Restless leg syndrome," or RLS, this syndrome causes your legs to feel restless and irritable, as if they need to be stretched. It can interfere with your sleep at night, it can cause you discomfort and frustration, it can cause you to feel like you need to get up and move around. Lots of people have experienced these symptoms, and are probably jumping at the chance for relief. GSK says they have that relief, in a drug (recycled from use as a Parkinson's treatment) called Requip. But... Wait a minute.

The CIA has published literally hundreds of books that spread its party line on the Cold War. It was particularly proud of The Penikovsky Papers, supposedly the memoirs of a KGB defector but actually completely ghostwritten by CIA scribes. A bit more embarrassing was Claire Sterling's book which advanced the now-discredited theory that the Russians were behind the 1981 attempt on the life of Pope John Paul II. Even the popular Fodor's Travel Guides started as a CIA front.
