Bolivarian Resistance - Art : IMC Print

If I Had A Million Dollars:

I would show the world the struggles going on everywhere against imperialism, privatizations, corruption, real democracy, cooperative experiments, etc – Several video teams would be available with a full newsroom backup to react quickly to rebellions and interview and report live with great photos and clips.

Make some entertaining – with humor – behind the scenes – like the "revolution will not be televised" – some tragic like – horror stories in jungle –

Pay people to go to South America and get pictures of US military, Corporate dealers – and US-related mercenaries – Dyncorp etc – run exposes and more... much more...

Road Shows to present programs – inside and out of Latin America and other protest and resistance struggles – rad videos and speakers with music or performances too – Art – Performance – Fun

Make a full length motion poicrure hit and cult movie about youth in rebellion – action groups – etc. =

Form an intelligence Corps – to assist globalaization protests, and popular groups with secure communications, publisheing, video uploads, web services, messaging – and cheap gear.

Videos – On-line

On the eve of the commemoration of September 11, the BBC World Service broadcast an interview--unthinkable in this country--with Gore Vidal, the brilliant, skeptical chronicler of US history and politics. Americans, he said, cannot look outside themselves: "they have no windows on the world, surrounded as they are by a corporate wall of propaganda." He thinks one of the falsehoods underpinning the propaganda is the notion that America is a uniquely virtuous country.

I am a mother and my children are hungry:

The world is mad.

I am a young man who has been stripped of his humanity and sent out to prove his manhood in an endless, pointless game of mutual destruction, which is all the education anyone seems to be able to offer me just at present, and in my deepest and most secret heart, I wonder if it would have been better never to have been born in the first place, but in the meantime, with my tanks or my rocks or my rifle or my explosives or my bare hands, I will show that guy over there that I'm better at this stupid game than he is! So come on everyone, let's get them, kill them, show them who's a man around here and how dare they try to do that to us! We will never be vanquished! Mine is the real voice of young Palestinian and Israeli manhood.

I am a child and I'm worried. My mother cries secretly at night and my father is ashamed of something he cannot talk about. My sisters are afraid and my brothers are acting brave to cover up how frightened and confused they are. My grandmother needs a doctor and my grandfather sits and stares at the wall. I am only a child and I don't know for sure what is real and what is not, but I know that I'm scared all the time, so I guess mine is the real voice of Israeli and Palestinian children.

I am dead. I died with and without a weapon in my hands, I died inside a tank and shot by a tank, I died fighting and I died picking olives and I died riding on a bus and I died next to my greenhouse and I died at the door of my own house and I died eating pizza and I died suddenly by the side of an evil road that some people ride on and some people shoot at and some people guard and some people claim is sacred and some people made a profit from building in the first place over the graves of living trees torn up by their roots, and at this point I know only one thing for sure: I am dead, and for me it's too late. I am the real voice of the Palestinian and Israeli casualties, martyrs, victims, and heroes.

I am a wounded and crippled survivor of this mayhem. I cannot speak.

I am a prisoner. I am not permitted to speak to anyone.

I am a foreign worker about to be deported. I have no say.

I am yesterday's dissident waiting for tomorrow's miracle. I have already said it all.

I am still in the womb, waiting to be born, but I wonder if an abortion might not be preferable. I am to inherit the future toward which you are marching. I am the Israeli and Palestinian unborn, and I have a message for you from all of us, with one voice:

Can't you people do any better than this? Put away your weapons. Stop ruining everything and start building something. Stop blaming each other and get to work! What are you waiting for?
