Greg Palast is a well-respected investigative journalist, one of the few media people who for me retains some credibility. In his recent article, Hugo Chavez and the Global Poverty Conspiracy, he tells the story of why he was so reviled by the U. S. and why an attempt was made to assassinate him. If you want to understand current geopolitics, you must read this article.

Thank you for posting this article. I took the liberty of posting it to Facebook. It simply reinforces what I have read in Hoodwinked and Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.
