CE said:After all you schooled me on the existence of the police law but we both didn't know what it means. So, good article or biased article? Good law or bad law? Chavez to blame, or Bush, or what?
Eva Golinger said:US State Department Bankrolls Young Venezuelans to Slander Chávez in the USA
September 11th 2009, by Eva Golinger - Axis of Logic
In the midst of an international campaign launched against President Chávez, carried out by the extreme Right from Colombia and supported by Washington, the US State Department has organized and financed the trip of eight young Venezuelan politicians to the USA in order to denounce the Venezuelan government and to strengthen the links between young US Republicans and the Venezuelan Right. The eight young Venezuelan men and women have been selected by the US State Department as part of the program “Democracy for young political leaders”. It is a project of the interchange program “International Visitor Leaders - Venezuela”, which is being used by the Washington administration to recruit and train political actors who would later on promote the North American agenda in Venezuela.
The trip to the USA, during which the young Venezuelans were accompanied by US State Department representatives, lasted three weeks, from August 17th to September 4th. They visited different US cities, meeting with political groups and institutions apart from meetings with the communication media and Washington agencies. The US State Departments' International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) (1) was created by Washington as part of a propaganda initiative aimed at recruiting spokespersons and international political actors willing to promote the imperial agenda. During the program, the participants attended training workshops conducted by political representatives of the USA on representative democracy, freedom of the press (à la USA), and reinforcement of political parties and leadership, amongst other topics. [..]
State Department said:Fifty-seven (57) Chiefs of State and Current Heads of Government are International Visitor Leadership Program Alumni.
That well written, unbiased piece was also on venezuelanalysis.com, funk. I've read it there but chose to post the original link.![]()
Impressive list of alumnis:
Sarkozy, Brown, Balkenende, Stoltenberg, Gul, Seung-Soo, Sackarschwilli, Karzai, Singh, Uribe...
Morales said he witnessed U.S. soldiers accompanying Bolivian troops who fired at members of his coca growers union.
"So now we're narco-terrorists," he continued. "When they couldn't call us communists anymore, they called us subversives, and then traffickers, and since the September 11 attacks, terrorists." He warned that "the history of Latin America repeats itself."
The ultimate responsibility for Latin America's violence lies with U.S. consumers of illegal drugs, Morales said: "If UNASUR sent troops to the United States to control consumption, would they accept it? Impossible."
That the U.S. justification for its drug programs abroad is even regarded as worthy of discussion is yet another illustration of the depth of the imperial mentality.
Axis of Logic?? Seriously? Now you have less credibility than when you just posted venezuelanalysis stuff. Very very poor attempt.
No no, sorry, i was talking about the piece about murder rates in Venezuela. That was published on venezuelanalysis.com, too, and approved in #645 by you, rendering your shallow objections to that site moot.
Presuppositions and World View
We readily confess our own set of presuppositions: Our world view consists of ideals for world peace; democracy (i.e. self-governance by the people); self-determination of all nations (people); respect for national sovereignty; noninterference in the domestic affairs of any nation by foreign governments; fair and just economic systems; responsibility for the preservation and protection of nature and compassion for ourselves and our fellow human beings.
The Enemy
We identify "Corporate Global Empire" as our common foe and the enemy of the people. We believe that all current, viable political parties in the U.S. are in service to the empire and do not represent the people. We are not to be identified as "Democrats", "Republicans", "Capitalists", "Communists" or "Socialists", "Progressives" or with any label that can be reduced to a religion, organization or any other "ism". We offer no such target for attack by the enemies of the truth.
We welcome original writing from our readers, as well as news and article submissions. We do not reject any well-written submissions simply because we disagree with the content. However, we freely admit that the focus of our editorial policy is to advance the values indicated above in our Presuppositions and World View.
We also invite you to offer critique of our work. Your suggestions are essential to our growth and improving our service.

Axis of Logic Statement on Ascertainable Facts
The mission of Axis of Logic is to provide our readers with selected news and commentary which are often ignored or whitewashed by the mainstream media.
Given the strong desire of governments and their agencies or supporters to conceal and/or withhold items which may not serve their purpose, we are compelled to seek out the truth to provide our readers with a more informed and balanced perspective.
Such a vital mission involves a degree of risk. In reporting what we believe to be fact, we may at times, inadvertently, publish items which fall short of our high journalistic standards.
Whilst we make every reasonable effort to ensure accuracy, we cannot take responsibility for errors beyond our own direct control and resources.
Uhm, they translated Golinger's article. You should smear Golinger - oh wait, you already tried that. And i didn't care.
Whatever, funk. Time for some music:
