On a parallel street, within walking distance from the presidential palace, you can find a squatted building taken over and run by communities. It is an old office building, very close to one of the most touristic squares in downtown Caracas: Bellas Artes and the huge hotel Hilton, which nowadays also hosts Bolivarian conferences and friends of the revolution. A theatre rehearsal is the activity on the Saturday afternoon when I visit the building. People of all ages are represented on that main floor built to be a fancy reception and not a centre for community activities.

Everything around you that you own and use is the result of effort of a vast army of unseen workers. The great attribution error of history is the erroneous assumption that we need the thieves to make it all possible.

The central document used against George Galloway this week by the senate committee in Washington is a forgery. Investigation by Socialist Worker shows that evidence crucial to the alleged case against the Respect MP is a fake, created after the fall of Baghdad in 2003

The rampART is one year old on 21st May...
In 'Fences and Windows' (2001), - Naomi Klein wrote, "Social centres are abandoned buildings - warehouses, factories, military forts, schools - that have been occupied by squatters and transformed into cultural and political hubs, explicitly free from both the market, and from state control... Though it may be hard to tell at first, the social centres aren't ghettos, they are windows — not only into another way to live, disengaged from the state, but also into a new politics of engagement. And yes, it's something maybe beautiful."

A new report by the Republican dominated US senate has implicated Respect MP George Galloway in the Oil for food scandal. Also in the frame is a French Minister and the UN.
Of course it's just coincidence that all three were totally opposed to the war? It is also unimportant that the senates info has come from a corrupt former Baathist who is presently being detained indefinately by the US occupiers and is desparate to curry favour with them?
I'm just surprised that they didnt manage to implicate Iran and North Korea as well.

Progressive media's obsession about Vietnam has made them believe that the US in a Quagmire in Iraq. Critics of war must keep calm. Americans did not go to Iraq to spread democracy or liberate the enslaved people of Iraq, give them the gift of liberty, freedom of press and economic prosperity.They went there as gold diggers for oil! They have broken Iraq in three antagonistic parts who are killing each other and destroying their economic infrastructure.Foget the propaghanda, the occupiers are doing a good job in destroying iraq; instigating Death Squad Capitalism,establishing a puppet government to secure the flow of cheep oil to the US. All thanks to an American Mullah who is helping US to establish "Market Economy",that is the transfer of Iraqi assets to US corporations. In Vietnam the US did not have an Ayatollah at our side! Iraq as a national identity is no more!It has been bulkanized!

The party is still raging like mad. The drunks and the addicts and the gangs are sending out for more pizza, more booze, and more drugs and they are killing people to do it. Some of us are sobering up and waking up. We are starting to see the damage that has been done and we are whispering to each other, “We have to kick the criminals out”.
