36. Nice post
I think you explain it very clearly here:

... the powerful individuals and groups in the united states who have undermined and continue to undermine foreign democracies don't care much for democracy here either.

Exactly and the people are not given enough information, mainly because they, those same powerful individuals, have gained control of the media.

'The grossest inequities' ~ so true and so heart-breaking that they were done in the name of the American people and with their tax dollars.

I am hoping that the internet will help to inform people and let them make up their own minds.

Right now, as John Pilger and others have said, the US media is 'softening up' Chavez to make it easier to get rid of him, by gaining the support of an indoctrinated population in the US. I feel obligated to do whatever little I can to undermine that effort if it is true.

Welcome to DU :hi:
