Pilger does it again, "The War on Democracy"

[UPDATE and BUMP by profmarcus]

another important video that deserves top billing...




jim's original post from yesterday...

John Pilger has another film that will make you see and feel things that aren't easy for Americans to understand, unless you have been to the favellas, barrios, ghettos or whatever name is given to a slum devoid of hope.
But as Pilger points out, maybe there is hope.
As a regular visitor to Latin America, ProfMarcus may be able to do more justice to this subject than I can, having only made one recent trip to Brazil.
Please watch this film and take note of some familiar players of the world stage.
Once again, courtesy of the Information Clearing House.
I find the CIA guy to be the absolute epitome of NeoCon arrogance. Indeed, the situation in Chile was openly regarded as a victory for the "Chicago Boys". One unmentioned Chicago Boy is Leo Strauss, mentor to Paul Wolfowitz.
These are the people we have entrusted our nation to, and one day the world is going to come knocking on our door asking for answers.
What will we say?
