Latin America - the War on Democracy by John Pilger |
|
Friday, 25 April 2008 |
|
John Pilger (www.johnpilger.com) argues that an unreported war is being waged by the US to restore power to the privileged classes at the expense of the poor.

Using proxies, Washington aims to restore and reinforce the political control of a privileged group calling itself middle-class, to shift the responsibility for massacres and drug trafficking away from the psychotic regime in Colombia and its mafiosi, and to extinguish hopes raised among Latin America's impoverished majority by the reform governments of Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia. |
