| 63. I have found some "HOPE" for The World, Manny. |
|
The Populist Reforms sweeping across South/Central America (and Unreported or Demonized by the US Media and Politicians from BOTH Parties) gives me HOPE for The World. "The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights. Bolivian President Evo Morales sounds more like FDR than anyone in the Democratic Party Leadership. VIVA Democracy!!! I pray we get some here soon. The Blue Print has been given to us by the People of Latin America.  Who will STAND UP and FIGHT for THIS American Majority? "By their WORKS you will know them,"And by their WORKS they will be held accountable. |
