Happy new year to all you bartcop readers. I have
been on hiatus for a couple of months, but I am back just in time
to alert you to the new and disturbing rumblings
coming out of the bush reich and directed at latin america .
The following 2 articles are frightening. As you read them, ask yourself the following question, are the american imperial cannons now being pointed at Castro (cuba), Chavez (venezuela) and Morales (bolivia), and the tens of millions of people that they represent? Will the warmongering pyromaniacs in the white house set afire their own "backyard", to achieve their evil goal of total world domination? Most of our readers already know who fidel castro and hugo chavez are. In these 2 articles a new name appears, that of evo morales, who is the leader of the union of coca growers in bolivia. Apparently his crime is that he opposes american imperialism. Furthermore he compounds his crime by leading a democratic movement in his country while having relations with cuba and venezuela. In one of the articles a talking whore actually tries to tie venezuela to osama. If you are not too sick to puke, then have a laugh.

For those of you who are beginning to think that we are waking up to an american nightmare on the cusp of this new year I leave you with 2 links. The first is the speech that fidel castro gave a few days ago on the 45th anniversary of the cuban revolution. Yes, some of you become agitated when I post something about cuba, because some of you believe that castro is a bloody barbarian. Well, I trust in your ability to make up your own minds, so I will post the speech, and I if you disagree with anything expressed in it, I will be happy to respond to you directly. While we still have free speech in this country we need to be exposed to thinkers and ideas that are not mainstream. After all, in bush's america, fascism is mainstream.

This second link is to an article, which is a
review of a movie about che's diary. This is an extraordinary essay, because
it focuses
on che guevara's vision about human relations
and his concept of a just society without human exploitation.

because bart only lends me this space so that
I can alert you to the news from the southern hemisphere.
