Let's follow Venezuela's brilliant lead

Venezuela takes operations from big oil companies

"It's for reasons like the subject of this article that the US wants to drive Hugo Chavez from power. The US-abetted failed coup attempt of a few years ago was simply the continuation of a long policy of destabilization of countries who dare to defy US "guidance" on economic matters. Defying the US with respect to the nationalization of oil is a particularly cardinal sin.

This time, however, the coup didn't work. An emboldened and strengthened Chavez emerged from it to become the face of the South American resistance movement. This long-awaited move to re-nationalize the nation's oil industry is critical for breaking the grip of corporate rule and returning true national sovereignty to Venezuela.

We know another country that needs to restore its national sovereignty."

Senator Mike Gravel at SC Debates

"It's like going into the Senate. The first time you get there, you're all excited -- "My God, how did I ever get here?" But then about six months later, you say "How the hell did the rest of 'em get here?"

"What we need to do is begin to deal with the rest of the world as equals, but we don't do that."

"The military-industrial complex controls not only our government -- lock, stock, and barrel, but they control our culture."

"With respect to Iran... We've sanctioned them for twenty-six years. We scared the b-jesus out of them when the president said "They're evil." Well you know something? These things don't work -- they don't work. We need to recognize them (referring to the people of Iran)."

"Who is the greatest violator of the non-proliferation treaty? The United States of America. We signed a pledge that we would begin to disarm, and we're not doing it. We're expanding our nukes."
