Devizes Melting Pot

“Protection. Conservation. Restriction. Deep ecology. Give me deep technology any day. They don't scare me. "I'm damned if I'll crawl, my children's children crawl on the earth in some kind a fuckin' harmony with the environment. Yeah, till the next ice age or the next asteroid impact." (Moh Kohn, The Star Fraction)/ "This is the fight between God and the Devil. If His Grace is with God, he must join me, if he is for the Devil he must fight me. There is no third way" King Gustavus Adolphus

Hugo Chavez Vists the UK

The world according to Chávez

He's the new hero of the left - a socialist leader who is tackling poverty in Venezuela while leading the Latin American backlash against 'the empire' of George Bush. But what is Hugo Chávez really like? And how does he feel about being portrayed as a dictator by much of the British press? Jonathan Steele and Duncan Campbell meet him


South America is divided bewteen the more pragmatic policies of Lula in Brazil and Chile's Michelle Bachelet and the more populist policies of Chavez (who as we know reguards Castro as a hero) and Evo Morales.

Yet Evo Morales is different from Chavez because he genuinely comes from a workers movement not to mention being Bolivia's first indigenous head of state.
