2007-10-25 17:31 Frihet
USA:s regering förbereder sig för att förverkliga bland annat alla kubaners innersta drömmar: USA håller på att bygga upp ett stort flyktingläger på Guantanamobasen på Kuba för att kunna ta hand om tiotusentals eventuella flyktingar från närområdet. I sitt tal riktade Bush också en kejserlig uppmaning till övriga världen att enas i Kubafrågan: And now is the time for the world to put aside its differences and prepare for Cuban's transition to a future of freedom and progress and promise. De obet …

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 …

"That is the responsibility of a journalist: giving a voice to those who have been forgotten, forsaken, and beaten down by the powerful." ~Amy Goodman In 1984, a young Harvard anthropology student named Amy Goodman enlisted as a volunteer at Pacifica station WBAI New York, and launched a career in ethical journalism which to this day remains unique in her profession. What began as a small daily radio digest called Democracy Now!, broadcast on just handful of radio stations across the country, gr …

2007-10-10 21:18 Myth Bustin' Columbus....13 Style
This past Monday was our annual remembrance of Christopher Columbus. For his name to be so recognizable most people know very little about him and there is a very likely chance that what they do know is actually false. Here are a few of the more common myths and facts regarding Christopher Columbus. 1. Christopher Columbus was Spanish. Well, it would make sense since Columbus sailed under the Spanish flag, but the long term story is that Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. However, there are many …

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 …

2007-10-10 12:22 New taxes in Venezuela sure to boost inflation
There is this: And there is that: business will pay a 1.5% tax on any transaction they do through November and December (and maybe later but that is not decided yet!!!!!) The first conclusion of this new scandalous tax we must make is that the already low rank in business competitiveness will take yet another hit. Although at this point Venezuela been so low in the international rankings, I doubt it will make much difference. Private business in Venezuela is not hiring, is not expanding, and in …

By Onyekachi Wambu. His collection of essays, Under the Tree of Talking - Leadership for Change in Africa, has just been published (THE GUARDIAN, 09/10/07): Last weekend I drove through Parliament Square to catch my first glimpse of the Nelson Mandela statue. As I drew closer to the monument, which was smaller than I expected, I saw a black family sitting at the foot of the outstretched arms, having their picture taken. Mother, daughter, father - drawn to the square, to Nelson.Two days later I w …

Reality bites hard in this "post"-Cold War era when Marxist revolutionaries-turned-democratically elected heads of government resort to their old tricks. Neo-Sandinista Nicaragua, for example, is a key component in the Communist Bloc's Latin American section. Here President Daniel Ortega, who is reverting to his old practices of nationalizing (stealing) private property and punishing political opponents, has revealed his true color: red. Pictured here: Comrade Dan buds around with Iranian Tyrant …

2007-10-04 09:10 Cutting Connectivity in Myanmar
Few administrations around the world are more brutal than the military regime that controls Myanmar. Unless you've been isolated on an island without any connectivity with the rest of the world, you have seen pictures of Buddhist monks and average citizens protesting in the streets and have read about how the regime has tried to crush such demonstrations. The latest development is that the regime has attempted to "unplug" the country from the rest of the world [" Monks Are Silenced, and for Now, …

Introductory comment. First of all, let me say that I think Bruni s argument about the questionable constitutionality of this process is worth reading if you haven t, do it. Being a non-Venezuelan, I don t think I m really qualified to weigh in on the validity of that argument, but I don t want the fact that I m discussing an article to make it seem that I consider it a non-issue. (Speaking of that, check out this picture, with its caption about constitutional reform. Ironic, no) Second, I want …

2007-09-28 04:13 Ahmadinejad in Bolivia: Venezuelan corruption at its best!
Some days there seems to be some cosmic conjunction that allows even the most modest of bloggers to draw major observations. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, fresh from his New York stinky stint, went to Bolivia. What could possibly be Bolivian and Iranian common interests escapes me completely, as it also seems to escape some in the Bolivian opposition. Though apparently there are nasty rumors that Iran would love to be looking for possible uranium deposits in the Altiplano. Whatever these are, Ahmadinejer …

The question was: "Why are you sending so much money to foreign countries instead of spending the money at home". The answer was: "This is a stupid question and I do not answer stupid questions because that would make me a stupid person". The full exchange in Spanish is shown in the video.

Although much of the CF's attention is focused on Afghanistan, not all of it is.

The first thing to go when you become a very powerful television personality is your ability to connect with the little people. For example, the other day I was shopping for a new houseboy because my old one had grown surly. Did I enjoy having to fire him for mouthing off to me, and by fire I mean tossing him into the activity pit with Manko, a kimono dragon I purchased from Nicolas Cage after it had eaten one of his girlfriends. No, sometimes being adult means taking situations into your own ha …
