The World is Turning, Don't Let it Turn Away
Latin American Revolutions Under Attack
by ANDRE VLTCHEK
Do not take the Latin American revolutions for granted.
They inspired the entire Planet. They brought hope to every corner of our scarred Earth. But now they are themselves in need of our support.
If left alone, they would thrive for decades and centuries. But the Empire is once again on the offensive. It is shaking with fury. It is ready to invade, to smash, burn to ashes all the hopes, all that which had been achieved.
Dont believe in the common wisdom which proclaims that the rulers of the world simply closed their eyes more than a decade ago; that George W. Bush was too busy ravishing the Middle East, therefore allowing most of the Latin American countries to sneak away from the iron grip of the Empire.
Such analyses are as patronizing as they are false. The Empire never sleeps! What Latin America now has was built on its daring, its sweat, its genius and its blood it fought against the Empire, courageously, for decades, losing its best sons and daughters. It fought for freedom, for justice and socialism.
