THE WAR ON DEMOCRACY 5/10

John Pilger's documentary explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger claims that the film "...tells a universal story... analyzing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called "war on terror". According to Pilger, the films message is that the greed and power of empire is not invincible and that people power is always the "seed beneath the snow".

Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who purportedly took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries and who he claims are profiting from the war in Iraq. He investigates the School of the Americas in the U.S. state of Georgia, where General Pinochets torture squads were reportedly trained along with tyrants and death-squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.

My point is that the elites that run America do not care about the American people. That is why they often send them into useless wars and that is why they incarcerate them at such high rates. And yes America does have it better than the poor countries they steal resources from, but not by much these days. My other point is that you are saying more countries should be like the US, but the US is wealthy by exploiting other nations. So it is essential to the US that other countries be poor.

Por el 8:40 habla el senador Helms confesando sus crímenes. Siempre es bueno tener esas cosas en video, para cuando quieren volver a engañar a la gente.

I´m glad US citizens are starting to realize the truth. Good luck fighting the wallstreeth regime.

The biggest terrorists always talk about fighting terrorism, that is funny.

[GooglFascists]

These thugs who calmly discuss blowing up Latin nations to keep poor

people in slavery secretly think the same way about US!

They would slaughter the poor in America if they could get away with it,

and turn this country into a BANANA REPUBLIC DICTATORSHIP.
