Boy the corporate media is out in force. They don't even care what they say or how ridiculous it is. I personally think this is a big mistake on their part. The CIA memo is PROOF that they are propagandists. This will be used against them everyday for the next 25 years. Everything they say will be question. "Is this more CIA propaganda"?

So all I have to say is KEEP IT UP FUCKERS! We need to break you up until little pieces anyway!

1. And Why so Interested in Venezuela?
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 12:07 PM by fascisthunter
Funny how no other country gets as much attention besides Iran. It wouldn't have anything to do with oil, now would it?

6. Oil. That's it. No one here cares about US hegemony or interference in another nation's sovereignty.

11. The New York Lies implied this morning that the election would not
be monitored. That's wrong, of course But, the seed has been planted.

9. CNBC They starting again. "Chavez could be President for life"

10. It's funny..well not really I suppose, but after read the post here yesterday about Operation Pliers
...and one of the main things was organizing large demonstrations against the referendum, and to fill the media with 'president for life' memes, sure as shit within 24 hours that is exactly what started flooding our airwaves...funny, eh? :puke:

14. Thanks for informing us that they're actually doing this at CNBC. It's unadorned brain-washing.
It really trashes the concept of communication, doesn't it?

They abuse their position. They are traitors to their human community.

15. Someone else caught it at CNN as well, earlier.
Instead of insulting Mr. Chavez, we should be very worried about the state of our own democracy.

16. They do it because this shit works
Just look at how many of our so called brother progressives right here on this forum speak of Hugo Chavez as the consummate dictator.

All because of a referendum in Venezuela.

I keep saying it, watching how Chavez has been demonized has been quite any eye-opener about the history of this empire.

We're GOOD at working up a healthy hate.

I'm forced to now look at our nation's history with a jaundiced eye.

17. No kidding! Plus we have to factor in that there is an issue
of race in the referendum that dovetails with our new nativism here.

21. I know! I was sitting here and heard my local Fox affiliate say Venezuela
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 03:01 PM by sfexpat2000
for the first time in my lifetime of listening to local news. It was uncanny. Our impeachment protests right under their nose, nothing.

I'm not THAT math impaired.
