POPS Why Isn't Socialism Dead? In a similar vein, Morales' mentor, Hugo Chavez, has also been preaching that to be rich is to be wicked, while to be poor is to be virtuous -- and though he may be quoting scripture to support his arguments, there can be no serious question that Chavez-style populism is simply socialism with a South American accent. And this leads to the question I want to address, namely, Why isn't socialism dead? The Peruvian economist, Hernando de Soto, has argued in his book, The Mystery of Capital, that the failure of the various socialist experiments of the twentieth century has left mankind with only one rational choice about which economic system to go with, namely, capitalism. Socialism, he maintained, has been so discredited that any further attempt to revive it would be sheer irrationality.

POPSBolivian Police Kill Assains Bolivia's President Evo Morales has been hunted for some time now. One core of murderous opposition are the SuperRich and International corporations that who control much of Bolivia's farm and natural gas wealth in the lowland east around Santa Cruz. Many papers fall into the cliche of he's 'Left," and his opponents are "Right-wing extremist," but these terms are often charade and excuse. Mr. Morales acts and advocates for the middle and lower classes, Native people values (he's the first iindigenous leader of a Western nation in the Americas) and was democratically elected. The murderous opposition is the SuperRich who control all the valuable resources. It's rich vs. poor, not left vs. right. FYI - This has been the conflicts of many struggles and deaths in the Americas: Those who control the wealth vs. those who live on the land. Western powers tend to support the SuperRich, overthrow democracies that threaten their interests, install dictators.

POPS"Bolivia’s Morales Asks UN to Recognize Legal Coca Use in Letter to UN" Morales has encouraged the industrialization and possible exportation of coca products such as teas and liqueurs since taking office in 2006. Bolivia is the third-biggest producer of coca in the world after Colombia and Peru, and total production was about 28,900 hectares in 2007, more than double the 12,000 hectares allowed under Bolivian law, according to the most recent UN drug report. The Bolivian leader says the problem of drug trafficking should be stopped by curbing consumption in major markets like the United States and Europe.

POPS100K & 5 Presidents at World Social Forum
One new amazing U.S. media brain-dead news report was about the burning question of the midweek's second news cycle: "Is President Obama Giving Too Many Interviews?" But as I was rushing to the computer to login and cast my vote I began to wonder about the question itself. "Are Republican obstructionist getting too much air time on brain dead TV?" I though would be a better question. Or: "Can the nation stomach hearing former VP, hated Dick Cheney, offer advice from the Dark Side?" -- since advice from Cheney to Obama was another alleged "news," topic. That's why when I read of this year's gathering of the World Social Forum it was a breath of fresh air: Non-self-obsessed news of something other than the sour soup de jour of defeated Republicans and haunted ghosts of the Bush Administration. One idea that sunk in from this clip (and others) was that we're hearing more from the people who screwed America over, gave away billions to the SuperRich and now pretend to have solut

POPS Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun! The first surprise was the sheer size of it. In paper form it is more than 540 pages long. Before 9/11, the government’s list of suspected terrorists banned from air travel totaled just 16 names; today there are 44,000. The list also includes head of state Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia. It also has created enormous frustration and aggravation for thousands of innocent travelers who have the misfortune of sharing a name with someone on the list like Gary Smith, John Williams or Robert Johnson.

POPSOpposition pulls out of talks with Bolivian govt. The authorities have asked for a 30-year prison sentence if Mr Fernandez is convicted. He denies the charges. As many as 100 people are reportedly still missing after the recent violence, the scale of which prompted the president to send in troops to secure Cobija. The violence subsided and the blockades were lifted as the two sides began negotiations, but many opponents of the government simply do not believe the president, our correspondent says. They blame the government and its indigenous supporters for instigating the violence, he adds.

POPSBolivian President Morales backed by neighbors Last week Bolivia accused the US of supporting the opposition and expelled its ambassador. Venezuela followed suit to show solidarity and Honduras has refused to accept the credentials of a new US envoy. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said the unrest in Bolivia was "a conspiracy directed by the US empire", likening it to the 1973 CIA-backed coup which ousted Chile's President Salvador Allende. The US says it regrets the recent diplomatic expulsions and has rejected Bolivia's allegations against its ambassador.
