New Estimate of Venezuela's Total Oil Reserves Makes It the Grandest of Grand Prizes for US by Stephen Lendman I just finished reading an important new book the author's publisher sent me, which I'll shortly be reviewing for publication. The book is investigative journalist (and in his words "forensic economist") Greg Palast's latest foray into exposing the hidden from view crimes and wrongdoings of the Bush administration. I'm very familiar with Palast's important work and can only wish many others of his profession did the same sort of it he does - his job. Sadly most don't, but luckily we have some who do, and we should pay close heed to what they tell us. They're our window to the dangerous world around us, and the information they provide is our protection from it. ~ Read More ~

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised By Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Briain Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington's biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba." Chavez, elected president of Venezuela in 1988, is a colorful folk hero, beloved by his nation's working class and a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office [in an apparently CIA-sponsored coup]. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Running Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes [Click here to watch] ~ Read More ~

Inflated Terrorism - Propaganda Lies By Peter Phillips 5/21/06 The Bush administration is paltering to the American public with exaggerated misconceptions of worldwide terrorism to frighten us into supporting a global police state. With seven hundred military bases and a budget bigger than the rest of the world combined, the US military has become the new supreme-power force repressing "terrorism" everywhere? ~ Read More ~

Slaves to the "Free Market" Unite By Jason Miller 5/22/06 Can Humanity Make a Stand Against the Ruthless Onslaught of Capitalist Imperialism? Relentlessly delivering the triphammer blows of a youthful Mike Tyson, America's imperialist ruling class of wealthy and corporate elites has been pummeling the poor, minorities, and the working class with impunity for years. ~ Read More ~
