Chicago Anti War Committe Forum on NATO / Venezula
March 16, 2019, 9:20 p.m.
Program to connect the militarism of NATO, no longer a "defensive organization" and now operating far from its European origins and the United States open campaign to over throw the government of Venezuela under pretext of a humanitarian crisis.
Economic war has been directed at Venezuela for over twenty years as it had the affront under its Bolivarian Constitution to use it's national wealth to improve the conditions of its majority population; Venezuelans of African and indigenous descent.
All mineral wealth beneath the ground is now owned by the people, unlike in the United States where profits from mineral wealth are privatized and the public gets the environmental pollution and disease associated with mining.
Bush2 attempted a coup that imposed as President the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Obama declared Venezuela a "special National Security threat to the United States" imposing a financial blockade preventing it from using the U.S. dollar with threats against corporations of being barred from U.S. trade if they continued to do business with Venezuela Trump has made conditions more extreme by appointing death squad organizer Elliot Abrams to over see the U.S. effort while a full scale propaganda campaign, carried by U.S. and British media, has created the narriative used previously to justify invasion as seen in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
NATO is now the joint military arm of former colonial powers. It has bases in South America and even the United States. Whats Up? Lean more and what we can do to organize to stop more war and "regime" change, that has every where resulted in death and destruction for the peoples visited by the "humanitarian gestures: of the Unites States, Ie. Wall Street,The Pentagon, CIA, Citi Bank and the Boeing Company.

400 Years of Terror: A Debt Still Owed
March 16, 2019, 11:52 a.m.
Economist William S. Darity speaks on reparations for descendants of enslaved Africans. The demand dates to the organizing of ex-slave Callie House, leader of the National Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association, chartered in 1897. The Federal Government had abandoned
freed black people to Southern white supremacist State terror and disenfranchisement when it removed Federal troops from the South to put down the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The effect of which remains present today. Dr. Darity backs his call for reparations with some startling research from his forth coming book: "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century."
Dr. Conrad Worrill, Director/Professor emeritus, Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies, NEIU, speaks about the Reparations movement and the case he brought to the United Nations charging the United States with genocide and crimes against humanity. He credits Callie House, ex-slave, as the first person framed and imprisoned by the US Government for her campaign to gain reparations in the late 1800s, her story told in Mary Frances Berry's " My Face Is Black Is True: Callie House and the Struggle for Ex-Slave Reparations".
The vestiges of slavery continue to diminish the human rights of descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States and else where. A key factor is the lack of wealth that can stabilize a family in crisis or empower ones children's educational opportunities. These are long time realities in black families as you will hear in the letter Dr. Worrill reads; a reply from an ex-slave to his former owner's request he return following emancipation.

#576 -- Capitalism vs. Reality, Part 2 (R)
March 15, 2019, 6:44 a.m.
Political scientist Michael Parenti refutes the claim that the "free enterprise system" (capitalism) promotes democracy and prosperity.
Part 2 focuses on prosperity. Drawing on the past 150 years of US history, Parenti shows that capitalism does not increase general prosperity. In fact it has brought regular recessions and depressions to ordinary citizens. Not "free enterprise" but massive government spending finally lifted America out of the depression of the 1920s and 1930s.

US Had the Motive and the Means to Attack Venezuelan Power Grid
March 13, 2019, 7:05 p.m.
We shouldn't dismiss Maduro's allegation that the U.S. sabotaged Venezuela's power grid. There is a double-standard in the West about 'conspiracy theories.' We are asked, without evidence to believe that Syria's President Assad gasses his own people, that Russia placed Donald Trump in the White House and is behind every nefarious thing in the world, and so on. Yet we are simultaneously told not to listen to foreign governments who are under assault from Washington.
We have two competing narratives on power failure in Venezuela. We know as a fact that the power went out in Venezuela. We also know that the U.S. has openly admitted to conducting cyber-warfare on countries such as Iran and Cuba. One U.S. analyst suggested that the timing and nature of Venezuela's electrical failure is straight out of the cyberwarfare playbook. It is therefore not inconceivable that Maduro is right.
We are living in a time in which the Monroe Doctrine is openly being touted in the highest offices and voices in America. This is a naked and illegal regime-change in Venezuela. And "rules-based" Canada is dutifully following Trump. The Organization of American States doesn't allow this kind of interference, so Canada is pretending it doesn't exist, and refers constantly to the "Lima Group" faction instead.
Gowans also discusses the regime-change scripts and institutions Washington uses. Guaido was likely trained at one such organization. Behind it all are big investors, who seek to control Venezuela's oil resources.
