“People don’t give a shit about the place”
3 December 2007
Richard Nixon may have said that about Latin America, but some people care very much. Australian film-maker John Pilger’s “The War on Democracy” (sombrero tip to Roman Cotera, the “Amazing Mexican” ) doesn’t have much specifically to do with Mexico, but well worth watching — and I seriously doubt it will be showing on U.S. TV stations any time soon . Pilger is one of the few “Western” journalists who supported Hugo Chavez’ administration’s decision to cancel the license of Radio Caracas Televisión, arguing that any television station that overtly called to overthorw any government would expect to have their broadcast license pulled.
Even if you’re not sold on Hugo, you’ll want to watch this — unless, of course, you’re a Dick.

Look, Venezuela is a shit because of Chavez. It’s that simple, do not believe on John Pilger’s words.
Winston Churchill once said:
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
