How Chavez challenged the brutal might of George Bush

The United States of America has enjoyed the double entendre big brother epitaph in the western hemisphere. It is because it has enjoyed an unchallenged hegemony in the western hemisphere since the second world war.The US and its the then arch-rival the USSR ( now truncated Russia) divided the world in two blocks and fought a cold war. But in 1959, the US decided to test waters by attacking Cuba at Bay of Pigs to eliminate the emerging Communist regime. The USSR rushed to its rescue and the prospects of a nuclear war loomed large. Gone are those days. After a long anti-US posturing including a ban on bilateral trade, Cuba is inching towards The Us for a normal bilateral relationship. President Barack Obama will be visiting Cuba. It will be the first ever visit by a US head of state to Cuba since 1928.

It is the parting statement by the symbolically speaking, most powerful chair in the world hinting that under leadership, the US wants no enemy. However, Venezuela can't be placed in that category.

With Cuba diluting its anti-US profile, the communist bloc wanted a new face to counter the US. With China shifting towards free market economy, there are few countries left with red flag, namely North Korea, Libya and the last but not least Venezuela. Its celebrated leader Hugo Chavez successfully challenged the might of the US and it continues to be a source of inspiration for all those who believe in multi-polar world. Aakar Books is a self-pronounced publisher dedicated. They have been publishing left-oriented books with a straight face. One such back Bush vs Chavez: Washington's War on Venezuela by Golinger.

In this book the author has borrowed from declassified documents, obtained from Freedom of Information Act, and a variety of international sources to uncover an ongoing campaign to contain and cripple the democratically elected government of Latin America's leading oil power. Bush versus Chavez details how millions of US taxpayer's dollars are being used to fund groups--such as the National Endowment for Democracy, The US agency for international development and the office for transition-with the expressed purposed of supporting counter-revolutionary groups of Venezuela. The incumbent Venezuelan ambassador Augusto Monteal is engaged in consolidating Indian support for his cause within diplomatic protocol. He has full support of like-minded intellectuals in India.

These days, publishers have become totally commercial. They publish what sell easily like school and college academic books. Notes and easy to understand help books. Literature has been shifted to basement god owns. Only those authors are published who have long term associations with leading publishers. One publisher gave me a terrible picture of Indian publishing. He said, he used to print calendars earlier. Someone suggested, why don't you publish books. There you sell one copy and get paid for 300 copies, not from one but many state education minister's You will have to share your profit with the ministers. He will clear the bill of 300 copies for the delivery of one sample copy. He would get a manuscript prepared through net-generated matter for Es 3000, then request a vice-chancellor to lend his name as an author and pay him Rs 3000 as well. It is easier to sell books ''authored' by such VCs.
