Out With the Old – In With the …New Old Order?
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he will not renew the licence for the country's second largest TV channel which he says expires in March 2007. In an address to troops, Mr Chavez said he would not tolerate media outlets working towards a coup against him. --- Insert "towards a coup" in the rhetoric and suppression is justifiable among most of America's "left".
Believe everything seen on YouTube, such as the really ridiculous video of the real Saddam being really hanged, and the real event being really captured on real video. Remember, the real show trial was a real sham and unjust and illegal. Make really clever remarks such as "it was a lynching" or "fallen tyrant murdered in revenge" or "Saddam was right/Bush was wrong" and really believe the phrases. (Could the real Osama be next?)
TV hosts and interviewers talk warmly and fondly to Angelina Jolie for being a major humantarian, giving 1/3 of her income to charity (note that's income not net worth; $3-4 million if she gets 10 million per movie, tax deductible). Praise her support of the UN body (now that she's no longer kissing and feeling up her brother's body). Obviously, her Billy Bob days are over since she's with the Pitt. Can anyone forget those award winning riveting performances in Gia and Girl, Interrupted. Or that Angelina says she is the star most likely to have an affair with her female fans (Madonna might argue that one). Angie's become an earth mother. She's no Audrey Hepburn but also no longer the 'girl gone wild' – all grown up with stretch marks and a cause. Brangelina, models of modern parenting.
And here's one to really appreciate. Birth of the first global super-union. " British, American and German unions are to forge a pact to challenge the power of global capitalism in a move towards creating an international union with more than 6 million members." --- Yep, 6-7 million Euro/Americans workers could unite to challenge global capitalism, and 5+ billion other earthlings will take nonunion jobs. If you think a one world union will lead to a new way, sign up now, pay your dues, and wait for the global union bosses to bed the global corporate bosses.
HONG KONG (AP) Hong Kong welcomed a near-blanket ban on smoking Monday, although not all residents in the Chinese territory were happy about losing their right to light up in public. The former British colony joins Singapore as the latest city in Asia to ban smoking in most public places. The ban — effective Jan. 1 — prohibits lighting up in restaurants, workplaces, schools, karaoke lounges and public areas. Even smoking outdoors, at public beaches, swimming pools, sports grounds, museums and most areas in public parks is forbidden. --- Has planet earth been infiltrated by extraterrestrial life with an allergy to something in tobacco?
Like clockwork, CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan was arrested Thursday afternoon outside President Bush's ranch, according to a law enforcement official.
Remember one and all, it is not your place to take care of yourself – the government should. Be dependent. Demand more programs that will keep citizens even more dependent and less likely to rock the system. Keep shopping. Be entertained. Eat your way to an early grave, take an antidepressant. Stay tuned for the latest repackaged sociopolitical argument, so many to choose from in the land of plenty. Supermarketed aisles of heroes and zeroes and the in-between. Fill the cart.
And, we the people will be reminded on a regular basis that the world despises/condemns the US (all the way to the central banks). Yessir, time to rein in the USA and let some other "civilized" nation or "world body" lead the new millenium.

I agree with Chavez.
It's the right wing elite the Bush gang that own the private tv stations and feed all that rubbish to CNN. The people of Venezuela love their leader, a lot more than Americans love theirs. that's the impression I got when I was there anyways.
RCTV, the station Chavez is shutting down has been around for decades, part of the oligarchy of old. Sort of Fox News in Spanish.
Hoover said something about every dictator climbs to power on the ladder of free speech and then suppresses all free speech except his own.
Second to BushCo's war on Iraq, Chavez has done much for big oil through OPEC. I believe the failed coup was the old elites attempt, and would have succeeded had the US/CIA been involved.
BushCo may not be as anxious to rid Venezuela of Chavez as folks are led to believe, otherwise Hugo would be history by now.
This is off the subject of what you are talking about here, but the $40 million price tag for Oprah's school in Africa seems a bit steep. Maybe she had to have the whole infrastructure of the town built with roads, sewage, pipes, electricity and maybe her own airport landing strip or helicopter pad in order to have the school built up to the lavish standards the newsweek article described. Anyway, a $40 million price struck me as a lot of money for that part of the world. Any thoughts on this?

I think Oprah is a whore for the NWO.
"Altruism" costs more when cronies are enlisted for "administrative" positions, consultants, overseers.
We the sheeple are getting the predictable dose of do-gooding wealthy elite - unfortunately for many high profile "humanitarians" charity doesn't begin at home (US blighted areas), but in more exotic locales with paparazzi in tow.
The thing that aggravates me about the unmarried brangelina is the fact that Brad was instantly hailed as the father of Angelina’s adopted children. Lesser mortals would have received notice from the adoption agency for conduct unbecoming.
As for humanitarian charity, wealthy Americans are well-advised to hop on the international soapbox. There are plenty of orphans and hungry children in the U.S. but addressing those needs (at $3-4 mil a pop) might instigate questions about the domestic agendas of religious and political leaders. Any such donors would be rendered persona non grata and quickly swept from the stage of higher earnings. There are few so brave.
Great points anonymous, exactamente.
