Venezuela should spend the time reading it from beginning to end.
To anyone who has doubts, still, any part of the information you've heard already which you have questions about, you can determine personally by spending a little time more researching it.
It won't take long before you really know what's behind the Chavez-hatred by "DU'ers" who always rush to attack progressives. With your own foundation of real information you gather on your own because it matters to you, you will never be fooled by the true crap being spread daily against any leftist leader.
It matters more than you may know. Hundreds of thousands of precious human beings have been tortured and destroyed in the Americas by US-supported, funded, backed, counseled, protected monsters. That is why throughout the Americas, any country which has started getting free of its former right-wing torture-happy, murderous dictators, or military juntas has bravely started bringing their former leaders to trial for their acts of extreme, hellish inhuman carnage and treachery against their own people.
It has always been hidden from us by our corporate media until years later, when the news finally starts getting out, bit by bit, getting exposure to the sunlight in our own country, long after the last screams of agony have died away, long after their loved ones have grieved and suffered perhaps for the rest of their lives.
Progressives KNOW what happens when the Americas are controlled from outside their own borders. Progressives do NOT want it to ever happen again, and work constantly to keep informed.
Thank you, Ken Burch. You know progressives support you, by now.
