Rather “has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has ‘entered the end stage’.”

Cuba-ALBA lands are Tamils` natural allies

Following is the text of Ron Ridenour’s talk in Chennai, where Ron launched the Indian edition of his books “Tamil Nation in Sri Lanka”, “Sounds of Venezuela”, and “Cuba: Revolution in Action”.

(CHENNAI, India) - I start from the premise that Martin Luther King expressed: “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere”.

In the country of my birth, The Devil’s Own Country, I experienced similar injustice committed against the native peoples and the black people as Tamils suffer, especially in Sri Lanka where they are subjugated to Shinalese chauvinism.

A Brilliant and Courageous Statement

Thoughts on Venezuela's president from one of Latin America's longest running political figure.

(HAVANA, Cuba ) - Attending to other matters that are now top priority, I momentarily strayed from the frequency with which I had been writing reflections in the year 2010; however, Hugo Chávez Frías’ proclamation last Thursday the 30th, obliges me to write these lines.

The president of Venezuela is one of the men who has done the most for the health and education of his people...

Roger Noriega`s secret pact with Hugo Chávez

Americas Forum may nonetheless be forgiven for failing to pick up on the fact that the right-wing Lobo is actually a Chávez in disguise.

Chávez is More Fanatically Islamic than Al Qaeda

“Chávez and his gang” are “strange bedfellows” - Carlos Alberto Montaner

(BOGOTA, Colombia) - Gracing the pages of various Spanish-language newspapers yesterday and today is an article entitled “Bin Laden in Latin America”.

Written by exiled Cuban columnist and author Carlos Alberto Montaner, whose claims to fame include referring to Eduardo Galeano’s acclaimed Open Veins of Latin America as “the idiot’s bible”, it might be more appropriately titled “The idiot’s attempt to turn Hugo Chávez into bin Laden by way of an irrelevant Ethiopian”.

Ortega`s Second Revolutionary Betrayal

Latin American opposition to U.S. imperialism is more than legitimate—especially when it comes from previous victims of U.S. “state-sponsored terrorism”

(ISTANBUL) - During a visit to Nicaragua not so long ago, I spent a good deal of time speaking with a former Sandinista fighter, now a bank security guard in the town of San Juan del Sur, who was disillusioned with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and what he referred to as Ortega’s abandonment of Sandinista revolutionary ideals.

It was as if, the security guard said, the dead no longer mattered when one was in power.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - In late November, Venezuela was hammered by torrential rains and flooding that left 35 people dead and roughly 130,000 homeless.

If George Bush had been president, instead of Hugo Chavez, the displaced people would have been shunted off at gunpoint to makeshift prison camps--like the Superdome--as they were following Hurricane Katrina. But that's not the way that Chavez works.

Distorting Iranian-Latin American Relations

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - According to Israeli daily Haaretz, the current border dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua- is a “trial balloon” for a new Iranian-funded “‘Nicaragua Canal’ linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.”

Media downplays violence against political resistance.

(WASHINTON D.C.) - Today’s top story in the Honduran paper El Heraldo, one of the mouthpieces of last year’s coup against President Mel Zelaya, proclaims that Honduras celebrated 189 years of independence from Spain yesterday “in peace and tranquility” and that “every Honduran heart beat stronger” with love and pride for the land.

Who Is Simon Bolivar?

Only time will tell whether Chávez's "Bolivarian Revolution" will succeed.
