The Real Class War
As the gap between rich and poor grows here in the United States, Noam Chomsky talks about the real class war which the rich have declared themselves and waged against the people of the world. The rich have done this since the beginning of time:

Hell yeah! NAFTA was the cause of the Zapitista uprising and it only benefits the wealthy few in Mexico and the US, but does not benefit Mexican and American societies as a whole. We need trade agreements which will benefit both American and Mexican societies as a whole, rather than only and exclusively the rich wealthy few in both countries.

Support the Zapitistas against the neo-liberals. Unfortunately the movement doesn't have as much enthusiasm as it once did. It's good to know they resorted to more peaceful means, however. Though, on a side note, although Mexico is kind of bowing down to such McGlobalization, it's good to know that other countries are taking a more direct response to it and joining the movement against neo-liberalism and imperialism. Of course I'm mostly talking about the movement largely generated by Chavez and Venezuela, which more latin American countries are jumping aboard.

Our Freedom of Speech Has Been Taken Away.
Freedom of speech is just like freedom to express, and both
have been taken away. We do not have the freedom to defend
ourselves any longer without suffering the consequences of
being arrested or bannned from a forum for speaking out or
defending our rights.

There is a group of Rights that's in the so-called United States
constitution. Which allows people to express their views.
There is Civil Rights,Human Rights,Welfare Rights,Educational
Rights,Rights to Speakout, and a bunch more Rights. However
there in favortism and racism that takes away the power of
these rights.

Here is a good 3 part report concerning the attempts by US corporations to execute a coup against Chavez, given that he prefers to look out for his people rather than the economic interests of oil companies and the financial elite here in the United States:

You will have to go to youtube to get the other two parts.
