WAR ON DEMOCRACY

Ghetto Bassquake , the highly recommendable blog from London´s DJ Vamanos, posted yesterday a link to the film “War On Democracy” by British journalist and film maker John Pilger. He is one of the few UK journalists that has been tirelessly reporting the severe political and economical problems that face the peoples of South America. A year ago, John Pilger released his excellent film “The War On Democracy” about the resistance of the Latin American people against the apalling trade sanctions, strangulating economical grip and outright murder by the U.S. government’s foreign policy in Latin American countries. Watch it here in full length:

It´s another part of the U.S.´s imperial overstretch and its ensuing global political and economical power demise – Latin American countries today tend to take their fate in their own hands.
