Good for Chavez. Good for the working class Argentinos who protested. And piss on George W. Bush. Articles like this let us see what real nationalism is all about. Hugo Chavez is the real deal.

Panicky Bush slinks away from Chavez
The easiest way to understand the institutional bias of western media is to analyze reporting from the developing world. The economic summit in Mar Del Plata, Argentina, provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate the coverage and decide whether such partiality exists.
Although tens of thousands of working people came to protest George Bush and his suspiciously-named “free trade” economic policies; they were invariably smeared by the corporate media as “Leftists” or “radicals”; eliminating the possibility that they were simply concerned citizens participating in the democratic process. This is the familiar tactic of the media to marginalize ordinary people whose interests don’t correspond to those of the ruling elite.
“Latin America’s radical leftists took to the streets on Friday,” Jack Chang breathlessly reported for Knight Ridder, but all the other news outlets invoked the same disparaging language.
The main target at the event was Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a leader who is invariably slandered by the media with the monikers “leftist firebrand”, “radical president” (Financial Times) or fiery, populist president (NY Times). At some point in every article, Chavez is lumped together with Fidel Castro or Che Guevara in a conspicuous attempt to dismiss him as an anti-American troublemaker. In fact, Chavez was among the first countries to come to America’s aid following Hurricane Katrina, offering doctors, medicine and oil to the devastated region. No major media source publicly credited him for his charitable contributions.
Chavez, of course, is guilty of redistributing some of Venezuela’s prodigious oil wealth to the poor and needy of his country. This has made him an imminent threat to the entrenched oligarchy and their teammates in the media.
“We are creating a great political body in the south, and not only geographically,” Chavez opined. “This is the great task of our region, to create a consensus of ‘the south’ that will bring better lives to all our people.”
Chavez’s innocuous comments were vilified in most of the reports as inciting anti-Americanism or, worse still, “subverting democracy in his country”. (Knight Ridder) In fact, it is the rising tide of democracy in South America that has Washington so concerned. Chavez has captured the imagination of the common man and is pointing to a way out of the neoliberal policies that have kept Washington’s boot placed firmly on neck of southern hemisphere economies for 20 years.
“We’ve come to bury FTAA,” Chavez roared to the capacity crowd. “I even brought a shovel”.
The Venezuelan president’s remarks were enthusiastically applauded by the thousands in the crowd who chanted back, “Fascist Bush, You are the terrorist”.
Chavez was flanked by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and former footballer Diego Maradona. Maradona added to Chavez’s stinging repudiation of free trade by calling Bush, “human rubbish.” (This was only reported in one outlet; the Australian based News.com) Like many Argentines, Maradono believes that the US policies precipitated Argentina’s economic meltdown which left 40% of the population living in poverty.
Most of the articles failed to report this crucial fact which contextualizes the negative sentiment that many in the south feel for America. It has nothing to do with the “fiery oratory” of Chavez, but a clear grasp of the devastating effects of US free trade policies.
The majority of Latin Americans are now opposed to the creation of a free trade region in the Americas. They are also against the repayment of the foreign debt and the growing threat of US militarization. They are increasingly frustrated with the increasing disparity of wealth between rich and poor as well as with rising unemployment.
Again, none of these factors has anything to do with Chavez who is mistakenly held responsible for inciting hatred of America.
Chavez has, however, been a unifying figure who has shared his oil wealth with other countries in the region and created an alternate economic model, Mercosur, which challenges the US’s dominance in the hemisphere. It was a stunning blow to the Bush team when free trade loyalist Vicente Fox announced at the summit that Mexico would be joining Mercosur.
Chavez’s comments only added insult to injury:
“The planet is being destroyed under our own noses by the capitalist model, the destructive engine of development. Every day there is more hunger, more misery, thanks to the neo-liberal, capitalist model.”
The rejection of FTAA is a mainstream position emerging from the political awakening of the people themselves. Simply put, the methods applied by the Washington Consensus have been tried and have failed rather spectacularly. The new majority doesn’t want to “destroy local industry, roll back social safety nets and labor protections”, destroy the environment, or prolong America’s supremacy in the region.
“We have come to bury FTAA because it’s an old project of the imperial eagle that from the beginning planned to sink its claws into Latin America,” said Chavez.
The media coverage of the summit obscured the details that would have provided the necessary background for understanding the rage at Bush’s appearance. The event was framed as a “showdown” between Chavez and Bush. Even on this superficial level the corporate media demonstrated its deftness at tip-toeing around what really took place. As Reuters pointed out, the strutting Texan, who exudes confidence and courage behind a phalanx of security guards and concertina wire, “carefully avoided” Chavez while the world waited with baited-breath.
“Carefully avoided”!?!
“This summit is not about Hugo Chavez,” one Bush advisor said defensively. “This is not news.”
But, of course, it is news. And, when the word gets out that the boastful Bush slinked out of Argentina rather than face his arch-rival, it will be very big news indeed.

FranzJoseph,
Carol Ward wrote a parting essay, a while back, that she was moving to Venezuela. I would love to hear her assessment of Chavez and developments in Venezuela.
During the Argentine summit, here in brain numbed USA, you had to try diligently to get a minute a day of news about it. Is it true that Cindy Sheehan was there? Thank God our media protect us from this rude news.
I'm mulling over the possibility of heading down there (Venezuela) to look around. It isn't really a part of my retirement plan, but it might teach me a lot about the potential of Latin America.
I copied this essay to my archive yesterday. My favorite quote is, “The planet is being destroyed under our own noses by the capitalist model, the destructive engine of development. Every day there is more hunger, more misery, thanks to the neo-liberal, capitalist model.”
It contains a lot of truth, though it probably ought to be thought through a bit. After all, even I believe in a true free market. The trouble is, and this is hard to drill into people's heads, "Corporate/Banker capitalism is not free market."

Chavez makes some really good points. Chavez is a definite "third positionist" in the mold of Qaddaffi.
Lots of Americans buying down in Costa Rica I hear. If you're buying in S America better get it done before our currency collapses. Because that's a very definite possiblity.
The silver lining to our currency collapsing, is that lots of Mexes would decamp and go home.
One way or another, we'll find a way to have our patch of dirt in North America. I say you old guys hang on, we need you here. Don't jump ship.

Antiochus, my wife & I looked at CR & the hordes of Nicaraguans pouring into CR was pretty fucking eery. They look like a combo between a mexi & nigger on roids with a stern maniacal stare. The wife said no fucking way. Probably a good call since that whole area is going through anti white populist revolutions, I believe. Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador & a few others. CR will be surrounded by anti white regimes & I'll take my chances with right thinking Whites here. At least I'll have a historical justification on my side here.

FranzJoseph,
Carol Ward wrote a parting essay, a while back, that she was moving to Venezuela.
Damn, Carol is gone, Enkidu. Her I miss. I hope she found herself a good spot, she earned one. I'm not sure this is the essay you meant. Her stuff is totally gone, not even cached so far as I can see, but old Carol is better than no Carol.
Carol Ward's "Waiting on the World" essay lifted from Skadi. She mentions Venezuela in this one. Not her last piece, but almost:

I have readers asking why I haven't updated my web page in a month. Well, I'm waiting for the world to catch up with my writings. Smug? - as always - yes. When the world press catches up, I'll have something else to say.
For now, websites such as www.antiwar.com and the Euro press are getting yesterday's message out to demographics ill disposed to explore my pages. Much of this 6/26/02 piece by antiwar.com's Justin Raimondo could have been written on 10/01/02. All I can do is wait for events and commentary to catch up, and hope that others awaken to the reality that anti-Semitism - speech that questions the methods and motives of Jews, specifically with regard to the Middle East - has become a moral imperative in our lifetime.
If we are to save ourselves from the Jewish war on Islam, Americans will need to identify and question Jewish control of our government foreign policy. More American journalists will have to question their harness. They will have to revolt. So far, only the few, the brave, here and in Canada, have risked their careers, to write about and rebel against the Jewish bias that poisons the information business.
We are a nation in lockdown. I've said it. More than once. Nothing has changed. The appetites of well-placed Jews, and with ever-higher stakes, are directing events that might end the world as we know it. Any writer who questions this arrangement will be tagged, extruded, and dumped into a history bin marked DANGER - DO NOT EMPLOY.
Americans are going to die if we continue to participate in the genocide of Palestinians and Iraqis. We pay for their death. Americans underwrite the occupation, the subjugation, and exploitation of Arab populations. Jews in the information business successfully redefined Arab anger as hostility toward 'freedom' and 'democracy', even as Jews restrict any debate on this proclamation. They own the venues, so they also define the information flow. There are few dissenting voices in the American press. The majority has been blacklisted into submission.
This, while our Israeli "allies" wait in eager anticipation, for new, desperate acts of her victims - this time, aimed at Americans. When more gentiles perish at the hands of Muslims, Israel will be redeemed
Our president warns the fenced-in Palis -- RESISTANCE IS FUTILE - forget your dead - do not fight back - you cannot win - some day, if you are good, Jews will let you have your own government, operated by Jews.
And so America waits for that floater named Mohammed with the pouch of Ebola and a "Death To America" T Shirt. Perhaps dead Seattleites will pump a little blood into the "we hate Islam" corner? The Mossad will choose carefully, with special attention given to splitting the anti-war left into factions. Where will it happen? I pick Seattle. But dead San Diegoans would garner Hispanic AND some libertarian support for a war on Islam as well.
The Northeast is onboard. The Falwells have delivered the imagination of fly over Evangelicals. Who's next? -- Latinos and the powerful Northwestern Libertarian Establishment. Let's watch.
That said, there is still a long-term downside for this Jewish strategy, but not before they cost us a fortune, and get more of our sons and daughters killed for their war.
Jews don't die in the wars they cause, in anywhere near the proportions they claim. But they do a hell of a job manufacturing the perceptions that nudge others to sign up and die.
The stats on the under representation of dead Jewish soldiers in WWII and Vietnam is damning. But so long as Jews control the venues and future job prospects for journalists willing to plumb the subject, America will remain in an information lockdown.
I have cautious optimism that there is enough anti-war sentiment on the left to mount a decent resistance to the Ameri/Israeli apocalyptic suicide pact. And I still think Jews are the ultimate losers now that they have been forced to turn over too many cards, revealing the sinister underbelly of their enterprise.
The unreported story is that Jews control the agenda and media, as they hurl the world into an anti-Islamic frenzy and WWIII. These are not the wild-eyed claims of pasty faced, goose stepping demons.
Yet there are glimmers of hope. Jews can't seem to keep control of the discussion overseas and on Internet news. Jews ARE the subjects. And I don't think Jonah Goldberg and Fred Barnes and Norm Podhoretz are going to put that unpleasant reality back into the bottle. Average Americans are beginning to question the paranoid ravings of Jews who equate worldwide revulsion for Israel with religious bigotry.
Jews have few friends because they are not friendly to their friends. Abe Foxman describes Euro Anti-Israel feelings as "repressed hostility". Where did you first read this? Maybe Abe is reading Carolontheweb as well - I actually referred to it as passive aggression.
Norwegians post signs on goods from Israel, to warn consumers who don't want to support Israel. In this case, YES, I agree with Abe. It's repressed hostility, and passive aggression. Why not? Jews organize boycotts all the time. They ruin the careers of critics and whole populations.
Hysterical columnists like Suzanne Fields decry Norwegian activism as a precursor to yellow stars and extermination camps. Yet, Jews blacklist people and products, with nary a condemnation, because they allow no dissent. They control the venue, the demonization, and the outcome. That, Abe, is what causes repressed hostility in those who are subject to the double standard.
It's pretty simple. A + B = C - Abe.
Arabs don't have enough defenders to manipulate public opinion against the Israelis. Jews do quite well for themselves in that regard. My guess is that Jews have and will continue to overplay their hand. AND without a LARGE refresher course in terrorism - brought to some city - selected for the maximum impact on the anti-war left - America will continue her passive resistance to enlarging the war.
Let's watch -- and pray that Israeli Art Students and Urban Moving companies are under increased surveillance, or out of commission. We have a lot of forests, reservoirs, railways, pipelines and streams that cannot be protected from the Mossad. And Americans are woefully ill-prepared to identify the real enemies in their midst.
Israel needs allies. Her American cousins are working feverishly to deliver some. We need to speak up publicly about the occupation of our nation and presidency. Justin Raimondo is spot on. Ditto for Taki. And Robert Fisk. And Pat Buchanan.
Washington is enemy-occupied territory. Ditto for the Wall street Journal. Watch the Weekly Standard demean and undercut their own president, goading him into subservience before the real gods - the self-chosen. If Bush does not deliver Iraq and Syria, the Jewish enemy within will cut his legs from under him. George - George - George - IF YOU EAT BESIDE THE DEVIL AND FROM THE SAME POT - YOU NEED A LONGER SPOON.
The Honest Brokers
If we want honest commentary about War & Jews - we must now look to the Nation, PBS, The London Observer, and Guardian. Only the left is resisting the apocalyptic dreams of Jews.
Fox News is occupied territory, preening over their coup in Tel Aviv since Ted Turner dared to speak for Palis. The Republican Party is lost to gentiles, until the evangelical right recognizes the error of their sleeping and eating arrangements.
I called America Sobibor West. Only Libertarians and the American Left remain on the front lines, fighting the occupation. Until 'mainstream' journalists muster the starch to write the story behind the story, we are doomed to bid for our Jewish Masters.
The good news is that Anti-Semitism is becoming a moral imperative. In each society, and in every culture, for thousands of years, Jews have made themselves so morally repulsive and dangerous to the cultural and economic well being of their neighbors, that 80 years is their limit before mass expulsion - or worse.
They have had a good run in America. They milked their holocaust claims for advantage, positioning themselves as moral arbiters, here and in much of Europe. But as I cautioned before, the Jew has been forced to turn over too many cards since 9/11.
Americans will continue to be terrorized in print to keep us agitated. We will beg for more chains to protect us from the desperate acts of enemies we didn't choose. But one by one, victims of Jews are finding ears to hear, and a voice apart from the Jewish press.
I think there is something to the claim that the Jew is condemned to walk alone. Incapable of reciprocity or honest fellowship toward the non-Jew, they rack up new enemies in each succeeding generation.
I've said all of this before. When things change, I'll be back to say some more. In the mean time, speak up, speak out, and don't be afraid to resist the Jew. He cannot be allowed his appetites, or the civilized world will be diminished by his guardianship. Look at the ethnicity of those who challenge our pledge of allegiance. Heterosexual marriage. The word "God" on our dollar. These are the acts of Jews, hostile to Christian culture, yet unidentified as Jews in press reports.
And lastly, readers should write a note of thanks to any Middle Eastern paper. Thank you Islam, for your supreme sacrifice. It is the Muslim that finally said ENOUGH. Life is not worth living if it is to be lived under the Jewish boot.
Thank you Mohammed. Only through the conviction and self-sacrifice of your followers, will our generation be freed of the self-evident evil named Jew.
And now I'm off - to islands. I have places to be and have people to see, before they hate me for my passport.®
(....)
Journalists are under siege in every newsroom in America to tow the Israeli line. There can be no leaks to the grass eaters that they are being lied to… they are being manipulated to serve Jewish foreign policy.
Remember
I've been harping on this subject since my own awakening more than a few decades ago, when I realized that one Jew could be a fine and civil member of my community. Two Jews will conspire against any single gentile. And three Jews begin to plot how to expand their influence and subjugate their neighbors.
Evil - thy name is Jew.
Their control in America is 57 years old and counting. My money says they self-destruct before their 80th birthday.
Now I'm off to the islands…. Venezuela is still a little too scary for me to risk my grown daughters… so Angel Falls will have to wait. It serves no one for me to dance to the beat of this one note samba until the world catches up…. When events and perceptions change, I'll have something more to say.

Wow, a leader admired by the common man. A leader adored by millions. A leader who can speak openly in front of thousands of supportive constituents who cheer and celebrate his words.
Reminds one of what America has been missing all these years.
I don't know much about Venezuela or Victor Chavez, but it's obvious that anti-Americanism (anti-Semitism) is spreading like wildfire. Good. Bushco and the zionist neo-cons deserve to see their maniacal plutocracy come tumbling down. The ropes will be ready.
Will the dollar tank? I don't know but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
