«This is it»
Our neo-liberal paradise already has a river.
It is a silenced Word,
a well-stocked supermarket
(the happy inheritance of the Military Junta),
a song on FM radio.
An homeopathic vendor.
This is it.

Presentation of the video documentary: «Venezuela Bolivariana: Pueblo y Lucha de la IV Guerra Mundial».
It is a 76-minute documentary depicting the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela as part of the World movement against capitalist globalization. The video shows the development of the Venezuelan people’s movement since the «Caracazo» revolt in 1989, up to the massive actions that helped rescue Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, 48 hours after the military coup that tried to oust him. The plot of the documentary explains how the Bolivarian Revolution, thanks to the incredible power of its popular networks, has become a revolution that goes beyond Venezuelan borders and contributes its concrete alternatives to the struggle against neo-liberal capitalism.
During the Cold War, SouthCom at first overtly supported right-wing military dictatorships, then switched discreetly to orchestrating the repression of marxist guerrilla mouvements under the guise of the ’war on drugs’. This development generated a progressive structural reform. At present, SouthCom operates in close collaboration with numerous US agencies and not simply under the umbrella of the Defense Department.
In the future, SouthCom is expected to expand as and when US forces are withdrawn from the Great Middle East and to concentrate its efforts on controlling the oil fields in the Caribbean region. In the event of a showdown with Venezuela and Cuba, Washington has reactivated its Fourth Fleet (2008), has toppled the Government of Honduras which intended to shut down the surveillance base at Soto Cano (2009) and rented seven military bases in Colombia (2009).
