The Day The Revolution Was Televised

Click here to access article by Don Quijones from his blog Raging Bull-Shit.

This blogger is a film buff who likes to post and recommend films on this website. This is one that I think is a real classic, a rare on-the-scene filming of an actual attempted revolution by Venezuelan capitalists in collaboration with US agents. 

 If the scenes of the attempted coup look anything like what has happened in countless other nations from Chile to Libya and currently in Ukraine, it is not accidental. One element in common with all such CIA engineered coups that I've noticed is the use of snipers to spread terror among the population as a prelude to the actual takeover.

Needless to say such productions as this film are verboten in the US. You can watch it here. I have my own DVD copy that I obtained from someone working in Venezuela.
