THE WAR ON DEMOCRACY 3/10

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.

America only fights for oil, and control of its people.

You really need to watch three documentaries

1-- The Power of nightmares

2 -- The Century of the self

3-- The Corporation

America is not what you think it is, it's nothing but a shallow corporation, oppressing good people . Americans are wonderful people, but their

leaders are corrupt to the bone!

4:40 and forward are a very important moment. This is a perfect example of how media works and how the "truth" are broadcasted to the world. Thank god the REAL truth came out.

It's the same as to what's going on in Syria.. There are CIA death squads killing people in Syria right now blaming it on the Assad regime..

[boogyshoes20]

WTF? A coup d'etat in Venezuela? In 2002? I don't remember that...oh right, we we're being media blasted by the illegal bombings of innocent civilians in Afghanistan. Venezuela somehow must have gone by the way side.

@BMayhew60 oooo no i didn't know about the cutrrency*sigh* n e ways your all about self motivation and gratification. so don't reply to me , doesn't matter, i don't expect money motivated people to care about the poor or working class. life isn't about a piece of paper or oil

[Airportris]

@BMayhew60 venezuela has lots of money, importing food is not a concern, the changes implemented are for the greater good of the people and the future, you i find it funny that you "find" so much wrong with Chavez, but i don't see you criticizing dictators that are U.S backed and committing genocide and crimes against humanity, instead your worried about oil profits and things that don't effect you in a good or bad way. your attempts fail miserably

[Airportris]

@BMayhew60 oh im sorry did he ruin your capitalist ways? did he do for the majority instead of the rich minority? your not convincing anyone with your i speak spanish or you have friends in venezuela.. i could say that too to make my point seem more credible, but i dont stoop to those levels, so i can see no matter what i say will make something up and call me a name lol. this is what money motivated people do, they are selfish beings.

[BMayhew60]

@Airportris Oh and I know who Simon Bolivar is. I mentioned that the Bolivar is the Venezuelan currency because I knew you didn't know that (or to be fair might not have since you haven't been there and I have).
