Sign of the Time

ricapitoliamo per chi s’è perso le precedenti puntate: nel 2006 il Time chiede ai suoi lettori, tramite un sondaggio sul sito della rivista, di decretare chi sia “l’uomo dell’anno”.

I lettori decidono: Hugo Chávez, il presidente venezuelano, è il vincitore con un ampio margine di voti. Il Time cosa credete abbia fatto? Che abbia dichiarato un socialista auto-dichiaratosi nemico della “globalizzazione neoliberista” americana uomo dell’anno? No, semplicemente decide d’impipparsene delle scelte dei proprio lettori. Non solo, agli stessi infila con grazia un meraviglioso “You” nel baugigi. “Hey, non solo ce ne sbattiamo altamente del vostro parere dopo avervi interpellati, ma dichiariamo “Voi” inutili formichine dietro uno schermo personaggio dell’anno”. Non so se vi rendete conto della genialità della cosa…

2010, medesimo giochetto: vince Julian Assange, un tale che prende i segreti delle corporations e li rende visibili gratuitamente al pubblico. Times chi mette in copertina? Esatto, Mark Zuckerberg, uno che fa un lavoro leggermente differente, ovvero vende le informazioni dei singoli cittadini alle multinazionali.

We’d just like to highlight how absolutely adorable this cover is. Look at those beautiful Latin American smiles. Those palm trees. Those piles of burning money.

Read it, pretty good.

The counter-revolution, with its inability to win via electoral means, has a plan, with international backing, to generate violence, destabilisation and intervention before the 2012 elections. Such is shown by the attacks of the right wing’s spokespersons and their media that ranged from calling for Chavez’s resignation, to making attacks against the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), to attacking the National Electoral Commission.

In the face of these threats, our Comandante advises us: “We must prepare ourselves for the scenario that they call plan B, the Yankee embassy, the Yankee empire, the CIA is preparing, before this disaster for them, which I previously referred to as an organic, structural impossibility for them, of defeating us in the electoral sphere. The continuity and the future of the Bolivarian Revolution are in the unity, organisation and consciousness of the civic and military People”.

The ultra-right argues that the FANB is preparing a coup in the event of an unfavourable vote for Chavez. Their strategy is to spread in the world press that Chavez is a coup-plotter and that the FANB cannot be guarantors of the process because they are ideologically committed [to Chavez].

PCV: Has Venezuela become dangerous for social activists & revolutionaries of the world?

Editorial in Tribuna Popular, organ of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV)

In the case of Julian Conrado, Colombian President Santos, in celebrating the capture of the guerrilla, revealed further disturbing details. During the graduation ceremony of officers at the Military School of Cadets ‘José María Córdova’, of Bogota, the president said the arrest operation was assisted by Colombian authorities.

 “The day before yesterday, in an operation conducted by the Venezuelan government and Colombian authorities with the help of our police intelligence, Julian Conrado was captured.”  Santos described him as a narco-terrorist.

The implication of this assertion by Santos is that there would be a “deal” between President Chavez and Santos for cooperation at the level of intelligence services for the capture of Colombian guerrillas who have come to our country to save their lives from persecution and the massacres committed by the Colombian oligarchy.

If it is serious, this agreement is worse than what was previously generally known, and indicates a relationship of Venezuelan intelligence and military services with the Israeli Mossad, the U.S. CIA and the Colombian State to pursue what they call “terrorists” and who are actually militant revolutionaries around the world who struggle to realize that beautiful slogan, “ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE.”

It is no exaggeration to say that this “agreement” for cooperation between intelligence services in Colombia and Venezuela is part of imperialism’s global network to capture leftist revolutionary cadres with the aim of destroying the struggles of our peoples.

In the case of ANNCOL director Joaquin Perez Becerra, the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) warned of the need to develop a national and international debate on the delivery of a revolutionary to the narco-paramilitary government of Colombia and asked the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) to create a space to analyze this situation, but so far this has not happened.

This new situation created by the arrest of Julian Conrado and plans for his immediate delivery, without taking into account national and international laws and the Bolivarian Constitution of Venezuela, we note through Tribuna Popular that Venezuela is no longer a safe place for the popular fighters and revolutionaries of the world.

Tribuna Popular expresses our solidarity and commitment with the revolutionary fighter Julian Conrado and our pages will continue to be an expression of international solidarity with the fight for his freedom and that of all the anti-imperialist fighters.

We demand the rights to implement the Bolivarian Constitution of Venezuela! —that his case be submitted to the courts in keeping, at least, with due process and respect for the rights of detained combatants.

Venezuela: Journalist's deportation to Colombia sparks outrage

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

By  Federico Fuentes

A number of left groups in Venezuela and solidarity groups internationally have expressed concern over the April 23 decision by Venezuelan authorities to arrest well-known Colombian journalist and supporter of the Venezuelan revolution, Joaquin Perez Becerra.

Perez Becerra was arrested when he tried to enter the country through Caracas Airport. He was deported two days later to neighbouring Colombia to face trial for supposed “terrorism” charges in Colombia.

The Venezuelan Communist Party newspaper Tribuna Popular said Perez Becerra had come to Venezuela to learn about the revolutionary process. Pro-revolution National Union of Workers (UNT) federation noted in a statement that Perez Becerra was a “revolutionary journalist” and opposed the arrest and deportation of a “revolutionary journalist”.

As director of the Colombia news agency ANNCOL, Perez Becerra was one of the most important voices in defence of human rights in Colombia. He was forced to abandon Colombia in the early 1990s due to constant death threats against him and after his wife was assassinated0.

Perez Becerra was forced to seek exile in Sweden to avoid the fate that befall more than 4000 members of the left-wing Patriotic Union — of which he was a member and elected councillor — who were killed in the violent bloodbath that wiped out that democratic and legal organisation.

He was never and is not a member of any illegal organisation.

Since moving to Sweden, where he became a citizen and has raised his family, Perez Becerra has never returned to Colombia.

Despite this, in January 2010, together with a number of other Colombian exiles, Perez Becerra was forced to seek Swedish government protection following threats made by then-Colombian president Alvaro Uribe.

There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media’s misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. In casual conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner  (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Nėstor Kirchner,  Fernando Lugo  (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl Castro  (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.

Giornalisti complici dei governi nel giustificare stragi di civili. ll Fatto Quotidiano complice del sistema nel favorire la disinformazione.

In questo interessante articolo de “Il Fatto Quotidiano” un’introduzione al documentario di John Pilger “The war you don’t see”.

Penso che sia ottimo presentare il lavoro di uno dei cronisti meno allineati dei nostri tempi.

Non fosse che, al solito, parlando del lavoro di Pilger i nostri omettono qualche dettaglio…

Interessante infatti il résumé dell’attività lavorativa di Pilger:

“…inviato di guerra in Vietnam, Egitto e Biafra, in passato si è occupato delle atrocità dei Khmer Rossi in Cambogia e della violazione dei diritti umani a seguito delle sanzioni dell’Onu.”

“Ok”, pensa l’onesto lettore, “Khmer rossi = cattivi”, “ma chi cazzo sono? -> wikipedia -> comunisti.” “Ah, niente di nuovo: comunisti = cattivi”.

Chissà com’è che al Fatto si sono scordati di citare il lavoro fatto da Pilger in Sudamerica? Quel gran documentario intitolato “The war on democracy” che non è particolarmente critico -anzi-, a differenza del quotidiano di gomez -sempre attento alle rimostranze di Yoani Sanchez-,  verso Cuba, Fidel, Chavez e Morales?
