Unspinning the news
This week's Honduran crisis

The media who report thousands of pro-coup demonstrators in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula facing only hundreds of pro-Zelaya demonstrators are leaving out the hard fact that the Hondurans openly for Zelaya KNOW they are also against the army and the cops. This isn't like when you (maybe) and I marched

Any
American can go to
Cuba as his own reporter
I'm arguing here
that any American has an existential and constitutional right to go to
Cuba as his own reporter, even under the "travel ban", without permission
except maybe from Cuba. Read

Cubans
choose socialism
On a 6-week
2002 tour of Cuba, I surveyed 100 random Cubans about a citizens' petition
reportedly signed by 98% of eligible voters to lock socialism into their
constitution after George Bush accused Cuba of bio-terrorism involvement
and Jimmy Carter refuted the lie from Havana but also insultingly urged
Cubans to adopt the American way. For a story you won't see in US media,

2004: SOUTH AMERICA COMPARED TO CUBA:
In the summer and fall of '04, the author toured
eight South American countries to compare the "emerging western
style free enterprise democracies" to Cuba, because, as members
of the OAS and the UN, these countries are regularly armtwisted into
censuring Cuba as the only country in the hemisphere still not "free."
In three extensive documents listed below, the author confirms that,
logically, it should be Cuba that censures the other countries, since
only Cuba is free of a significant list of oppressive attributes found
everywhere else, as these documents attest.

"From the Andes," click HERE.
