THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26
HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!
VIDEO - McCain in Hanoi
Webmaster's Commentary:
Here is a short film from the Swedish Television of the release of John McCain in Vietnam 35 years ago. It was never shown on TV as McCain was not a well-known person at that time. It's from the Hanoi airport. The Swedish reporters went away after 591 prisoners had been released, but left the camera with a Vietnamese photographer who took the pictures of McCain. They are supposed to be the only pictures from MCCain's release in Hanoi. He is limping but not in need of crutches as at the arrival in the USA.
