2007-10-22 22:45  COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed  was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

2007-10-12 19:20  Latin America File: Former World Bank Senior VP and Chief Economist Stiglitz meets Chavez, "blesses" …
Although the United Nations' World Bank is dedicated to "fighting poverty" in developing countries, communists like Venzuelan Tyrant in Training Hugo Chavez contend that these institutions actually promote "neo-liberalism," a communist codeword for capitalism. In other words, although the UN is fundamentally a communist project, the capitalist nations have sprinkled their leaven into its institutions. Thus, the need to create Banco del Sur (Bancosur), or the Bank of the South. On October 8 the f …

2007-10-10 17:18  Politics last superstar
By Ignacio Ramonet, editor of Le Monde diplomatique and co-author with Fidel Castro of the forthcoming Fidel Castro: My Life; he speaks tonight at London Metropolitan University (THE GUARDIAN, 10/10/07): For the first time in almost 50 years, Fidel Castro is not in control of Cuba. And contrary to predictions, the system has not broken down, the population has not revolted, the revolution has not reversed. Now the analysts are asking: will it last Is Raúl Castro going to reroute the revolution H …

Visserligen är inte artikeln frĺn The Nation tillgänglig gratis. Men jag publicerar den ändĺ för denna bloggs begränsade svenska läsekrets. Chávez: 'Galbraithiano' by GREG GRANDIN The Nation [from the October 15, 2007 issue] Last year, the New York Times reported that Hugo Chávez, in his speech before the United Nations--the one in which he called George W. Bush the Devil and urged Americans to read Noam Chomsky--expressed regret that he hadn't had a chance to meet the linguist before he died. A …

2007-09-22 16:28  VENEZUELA: STRATEGIES OF AN AUTHORITARIAN PETROSTATE
POVERTY AND TRASH.... During the last nine years Venezuelan democracy has been transformed into a tropical monarchy. For the first time since Fidel Castro s 1962 s missile crisis a Latin American despot has pretensions of global hegemony. Oil and hate are being combined to produce a greatly dangerous threat to U.S. national security. What is the potential impact of these strategies on hemispheric and, even, world s political stability 1. From Democracy to tropical Monarchy. Hugo Chavez has now r …

Map template: Wikipedia.org Everyone seems to be talking about how expensive it is to travel overseas on the newly weak dollar. It is true that the majority of international travel destinations are significantly more expensive for Americans than they were just 5 years ago, due largely to the weakening of the American Dollar. For example, if you are planning a big trip to Europe in the coming months, you'll be disappointed to find that your dollars are now worth 28.4% less than they were 5 years …

2007-08-29 15:08  Competition, Contributions and Contracts: Chávez s Checkbook Mission in the Caribbean Basin
While crowds of cheering supporters gathered outside the National Assembly in Venezuela on Wednesday, August 15, President Hugo Chávez outlined what could be the most radical phase of his proposed amendments to the constitution yet, the elimination of any term limits on the re-election of any candidate as well as lengthening each presidential term from six to seven years. These proposals reflect concerns in the Chávez camp over the shortcomings of the present constitution, which mandates that he …

Citizenship becomes an unstable and hierarchically s …

2007-08-22 01:16  Constitutionally up yours: part 6, how to counter Chavez constitutional coup
In the previous 5 posts of this series I have tried to write up a perhaps crude but to the point vision of what is at stake. In short: Chavez is pushing forward a constitutional œreform  whose sole objective is to give him the means to rule over Venezuela as long as he wishes, blocking any possibility for a valid opposition to rise and challenge him at some point. In other words, a return to the XIX century past, perhaps even worse. It is reactionary movement, nothing more. The saddest part of …

2007-08-17 15:35  COHA Backgrounder on U.S.-Paraguay Relations: Why Paraguay Matters
illustration by Margaret Scott As a landlocked country in South America and a nation whose economy heavily depends on illicit smuggling activities, Paraguay demonstrates a history of political instability, corruption and painfully slow structural reforms. In recent years, it has attracted more attention from the U.S. military due to the fact that parts of Paraguay are covered by vast jungles that are almost impossible to readily monitor. This makes the country a drug, contraband, and possibly (a …
