JCT: All we heard of was how Hugo Chavez was made fun of
Devil Bush, blessed be the war-makers...

President Hugo Chavez,
Address to the United Nations
Wednesday Sept 20, 2006

Representatives of the governments of the world, good
morning to all of you. First of all, I would like to invite
you, very respectfully, to those who have not read this
book, to read it.

Noam Chomsky, one of the most prestigious American and world
intellectuals, Noam Chomsky, and this is one of his most
recent books, 'Hegemony or Survival: The Imperialist
Strategy of the United States.'" [Holds up book, waves it in
front of General Assembly.] "It's an excellent book to help
us understand what has been happening in the world
throughout the 20th century, and what's happening now, and
the greatest threat looming over our planet.

JCT: Noam Chomsky details how America had enslaved the rest
of the world, in all its gory details. I have a whole
section of my library on his books and I can't think of a
better reference he could have used.

The hegemonic pretensions of the American empire are placing
at risk the very survival of the human species. We continue
to warn you about this danger and we appeal to the people of
the United States and the world to halt this threat, which
is like a sword hanging over our heads. I had considered
reading from this book, but, for the sake of time," [flips
through the pages, which are numerous] "I will just leave it
as a recommendation. It reads easily, it is a very good
book, I'm sure Madame [President] you are familiar with it.
It appears in English, in Russian, in Arabic, in German.

I think that the first people who should read this book are
our brothers and sisters in the United States, because their
threat is right in their own house. The devil is right at
home. The devil, the devil himself, is right in the house.
"And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came
here. Right here." [crosses himself] "And it smells of
sulfur still today. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from
this rostrum, the president of the United States, the
gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking
as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world.

I think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's
statement made by the president of the United States. As the
spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums, to
try to preserve the current pattern of domination,
exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An
Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would
even propose a title: "The Devil's Recipe."

As Chomsky says here, clearly and in depth, the American
empire is doing all it can to consolidate its system of
domination. And we cannot allow them to do that.

JCT: Talk about cheering up the world to have someone
stand up to the the warrior on the block, the world's bully,

We cannot allow world dictatorship to be consolidated. The
world parent's statement -- cynical, hypocritical, full of
this imperial hypocrisy from the need they have to control
everything. They say they want to impose a democratic model.
But that's their democratic model. It's the false democracy
of elites, and, I would say, a very original democracy
that's imposed by weapons and bombs and firing weapons. What
a strange democracy. Aristotle might not recognize it or
others who are at the root of democracy. What type of
democracy do you impose with marines and bombs?

JCT: Blessed be the war makers?

The president of the United States, yesterday, said to us,
right here, in this room, and I'm quoting, "Anywhere you
look, you hear extremists telling you can escape from
poverty and recover your dignity through violence, terror
and martyrdom." Wherever he looks, he sees extremists. And
you, my brother -- he looks at your color, and he says, oh,
there's an extremist. Evo Morales, the worthy president of
Bolivia, looks like an extremist to him. The imperialists
see extremists everywhere. It's not that we are extremists.
It's that the world is waking up. It's waking up all over.
And people are standing up.

I have the feeling, dear world dictator, that you are going
to live the rest of your days as a nightmare because the
rest of us are standing up, all those who are rising up
against American imperialism, who are shouting for equality,
for respect, for the sovereignty of nations. Yes, you can
call us extremists, but we are rising up against the empire,
against the model of domination.

JCT: This is what the media got to ignore to focus on the
smell of the devil's sulfur joke.

The president then -- and this he said himself, he said: "I
have come to speak directly to the populations in the Middle
East, to tell them that my country wants peace." That's
true. If we walk in the streets of the Bronx, if we walk
around New York, Washington, San Diego, in any city, San
Antonio, San Francisco, and we ask individuals, the citizens
of the United States, what does this country want? Does it
want peace? They'll say yes. But the government doesn't want
peace. The government of the United States doesn't want
peace. It wants to exploit its system of exploitation, of
pillage, of hegemony through war. It wants peace. But what's
happening in Iraq? What happened in Lebanon? In Palestine?
What's happening? What's happened over the last 100 years in
Latin America and in the world? And now threatening
Venezuela -- new threats against Venezuela, against Iran?

He spoke to the people of Lebanon. Many of you, he said,
have seen how your homes and communities were caught in the
crossfire. How cynical can you get? What a capacity to lie
shamefacedly. The bombs in Beirut with millimetric
precision? This is crossfire? He's thinking of a western,
when people would shoot from the hip and somebody would be
caught in the crossfire. This is imperialist, fascist,
assassin, genocidal, the empire and Israel firing on the
people of Palestine and Lebanon. That is what happened. And
now we hear, "We're suffering because we see homes
destroyed.'

The president of the United States came to talk to the
peoples -- to the peoples of the world. He came to say -- I
brought some documents with me, because this morning I was
reading some statements, and I see that he talked to the
people of Afghanistan, the people of Lebanon, the people of
Iran. And he addressed all these peoples directly. And you
can wonder, just as the president of the United States
addresses those peoples of the world, what would those
peoples of the world tell him if they were given the floor?
What would they have to say?

JCT: What would the debt slaves say?

And I think I have some inkling of what the peoples of the
south, the oppressed people think. They would say, "Yankee
imperialist, go home." I think that is what those people
would say if they were given the microphone and if they
could speak with one voice to the American imperialists.

JCT: Yankee, close your bases all around the world, and go
home. Make babies, not war.

And that is why, Madam President, my colleagues, my friends,
last year we came here to this same hall as we have been
doing for the past eight years, and we said something that
has now been confirmed -- fully, fully confirmed. I don't
think anybody in this room could defend the system. Let's
accept -- let's be honest. The U.N. system, born after the
Second World War, collapsed. It's worthless.

Oh, yes, it's good to bring us together once a year, see
each other, make statements and prepare all kinds of long
documents, and listen to good speeches, like Abel's
yesterday, or President Mullah's. Yes, it's good for that.
And there are a lot of speeches, and we've heard lots from
the president of Sri Lanka, for instance, and the president
of Chile. But we, the assembly, have been turned into a
merely deliberative organ. We have no power, no power to
make any impact on the terrible situation in the world. And
that is why Venezuela once again proposes, here, today, 20
September, that we re-establish the United Nations. Last
year, Madam, we made four modest proposals that we felt to
be crucially important. We have to assume the responsibility
our heads of state, our ambassadors, our representatives,
and we have to discuss it.

The first is expansion, and Mullah talked about this
yesterday right here. The Security Council, both as it has
permanent and non-permanent categories, (inaudible)
developing countries and LDCs must be given access as new
permanent members. That's step one.

Second, effective methods to address and resolve world
conflicts, transparent decisions.

Point three, the immediate suppression -- and that is
something everyone's calling for -- of the anti-democratic
mechanism known as the veto, the veto on decisions of the
Security Council. Let me give you a recent example. The
immoral veto of the United States allowed the Israelis, with
impunity, to destroy Lebanon. Right in front of all of us as
we stood there watching, a resolution in the council was
prevented.

Fourthly, we have to strengthen, as we've always said, the
role and the powers of the secretary general of the United
Nations. Yesterday, the secretary general practically gave
us his speech of farewell. And he recognized that over the
last 10 years, things have just gotten more complicated;
hunger, poverty, violence, human rights violations have just
worsened. That is the tremendous consequence of the collapse
of the United Nations system and American hegemonistic
pretensions.

Madam, Venezuela a few years ago decided to wage this battle
within the United Nations by recognizing the United Nations,
as members of it that we are, and lending it our voice, our
thinking. Our voice is an independent voice to represent the
dignity and the search for peace and the reformulation of
the international system; to denounce persecution and
aggression of hegemonistic forces on the planet.

JCT: Someone has to if all the others are too fearful of the
world economic and military bully to speak up. Chavez has
the resources and the balls.

This is how Venezuela has presented itself. Bolivar's home
has sought a nonpermanent seat on the Security Council.
Let's see. Well, there's been an open attack by the U.S.
government, an immoral attack, to try and prevent Venezuela
from being freely elected to a post in the Security Council.
The imperium is afraid of truth, is afraid of independent
voices. It calls us extremists, but they are the extremists.

JCT: No one's ever put the boots to the oppressor nation
like this before.

And I would like to thank all the countries that have kindly
announced their support for Venezuela, even though the
ballot is a secret one and there's no need to announce
things. But since the imperium has attacked, openly, they
strengthened the convictions of many countries. And their
support strengthens us. Mercosur, as a bloc, has expressed
its support, our brothers in Mercosur. Venezuela, with
Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, is a full member of
Mercosur. And many other Latin American countries, CARICOM,
Bolivia have expressed their support for Venezuela. The Arab
League, the full Arab League has voiced its support. And I
am immensely grateful to the Arab world, to our Arab
brothers, our Caribbean brothers, the African Union. Almost
all of Africa has expressed its support for Venezuela and
countries such as Russia or China and many others. I thank
you all warmly on behalf of Venezuela, on behalf of our
people, and on behalf of the truth, because Venezuela, with
a seat on the Security Council, will be expressing not only
Venezuela's thoughts, but it will also be the voice of all
the peoples of the world, and we will defend dignity and
truth.

JCT: The media didn't report on the meeting of the more than
100 non-aligned nations in Cuba. Not in Canada and not in
the States. Our media all did not report on what went on. So
it must have been very important. Just like Argentina just
paid off all their foreign IMF-World Bank loans just a few
years after being broke; no explanation of how because our
owners don't want us to know so they don't let their owned
media tell us. And the presstitutes must keep quiet. You'd
think the meeting organizers would have translated and
published those speeches.

Over and above all of this, Madam President, I think there
are reasons to be optimistic.

JCT: First politician other than me I've ever heard argue we
can be optimistic...

A poet would have said "helplessly optimistic," because over
and above the wars and the bombs and the aggressive and the
preventive war and the destruction of entire peoples, one
can see that a new era is dawning.

JCT: A new era of cooperative exchanges engendered by social
currency media of exchange. Chavez has seen social currency
do its heavenly magic in Argentina and now in Venezuela,
Chavez sees the same new era dawning that I've seen for the
past 25 years when I took on my "Abolish Interest Rates"
project.

As Sylvia Rodriguez says, the era is giving birth to a
heart. There are alternative ways of thinking. There are
young people who think differently. And this has already
been seen within the space of a mere decade.

JCT: A decade with access to computer technology that their
neanderthal parents never grew up with has certainly made a
difference.

It was shown that the end of history was a totally false
assumption, and the same was shown about Pax Americana and
the establishment of the capitalist neo-liberal world. It
has been shown, this system, to generate mere poverty. Who
believes in it now?

JCT: Yes, all the efforts of the do-gooders has done nothing
to end the oppression. Perhaps because they profit by the
"yoke of oppression."

What we now have to do is define the future of the world.
Dawn is breaking out all over. You can see it in Africa and
Europe and Latin America and Oceanea.

JCT: I see LETS social currencies breaking out all over. I
see a time-based social medium of exchange arising
everywhere.

I want to emphasize that optimistic vision. We have to
strengthen ourselves, our will to do battle, our awareness.
We have to build a new and better world. Venezuela joins
that struggle, and that's why we are threatened. The U.S.
has already planned, financed and set in motion a coup in
Venezuela, and it continues to support coup attempts in
Venezuela and elsewhere.

JCT: Guinness Record for most covert invasions of foreign
nations than any other nation.

President Michelle Bachelet reminded us just a moment ago of
the horrendous assassination of the former foreign minister,
Orlando Letelier. And I would just add one thing: Those who
perpetrated this crime are free. And that other event where
an American citizen also died were American themselves. They
were CIA killers, terrorists. And we must recall in this
room that in just a few days there will be another
anniversary. Thirty years will have passed from this other
horrendous terrorist attack on the Cuban plane, where 73
innocents died, a Cubana de Aviacion airliner. And where is
the biggest terrorist of this continent who took the
responsibility for blowing up the plane? He spent a few
years in jail in Venezuela. Thanks to CIA and then
government officials, he was allowed to escape, and he lives
here in this country, protected by the government. And he
was convicted. He has confessed to his crime. But the U.S.
government has double standards. It protects terrorism when
it wants to. And this is to say that Venezuela is fully
committed to combating terrorism and violence. And we are
one of the people who are fighting for peace.

Luis Posada Carriles is the name of that terrorist who is
protected here. And other tremendously corrupt people who
escaped from Venezuela are also living here under
protection: a group that bombed various embassies, that
assassinated people during the coup. They kidnapped me and
they were going to kill me, but I think God reached down and
our people came out into the streets and the army was too,
and so I'm here today. But these people who led that coup
are here today in this country protected by the American
government. And I accuse the American government of
protecting terrorists and of having a completely cynical
discourse.

JCT: Yes, CIA assassins get away with murder.

We mentioned Cuba. Yes, we were just there a few days ago.
We just came from there happily. And there you see another
era born. The Summit of the 15, the Summit of the
Nonaligned, adopted a historic resolution. This is the
outcome document. Don't worry, I'm not going to read it. But
you have a whole set of resolutions here that were adopted
after open debate in a transparent matter -- more than 50
heads of state.

JCT: And it didn't make the news. Must have been something
very important for our presstitute media to suppress news of
such a large gathering of world leaders.

Havana was the capital of the south for a few weeks, and we
have now launched, once again, the group of the nonaligned
with new momentum. And if there is anything I could ask all
of you here, my companions, my brothers and sisters, it is
to please lend your good will to lend momentum to the
Nonaligned Movement for the birth of the new era, to prevent
hegemony and prevent further advances of imperialism.

JCT: Glad to think someone is resisting the Amerikan forces
of oppression.

And as you know, Fidel Castro is the president of the
nonaligned for the next three years, and we can trust him to
lead the charge very efficiently. Unfortunately they
thought, "Oh, Fidel was going to die." But they're going to
be disappointed because he didn't. And he's not only alive,
he's back in his green fatigues, and he's now presiding the
nonaligned.

So, my dear colleagues, Madam President, a new, strong
movement has been born, a movement of the south. We are men
and women of the south.

JCT: We, men and women of the north, have no such movement.
Not enough middle-class folks broke yet.

With this document, with these ideas, with these criticisms,
I'm now closing my file. I'm taking the book with me. And,
don't forget, I'm recommending it very warmly and very
humbly to all of you.

We want ideas to save our planet, to save the planet from
the imperialist threat. And hopefully in this very century,
in not too long a time, we will see this, we will see this
new era, and for our children and our grandchildren a world
of peace based on the fundamental principles of the United
Nations, but a renewed United Nations.

JCT: With UNILETS social credit accounts for all.

And maybe we have to change location. Maybe we have to put
the United Nations somewhere else; maybe a city of the
south. We've proposed Venezuela. You know that my personal
doctor had to stay in the plane. The chief of security had
to be left in a locked plane. Neither of these gentlemen was
allowed to arrive and attend the U.N. meeting. This is
another abuse and another abuse of power on the part of the
Devil. It smells of sulfur here, but God is with us and I
embrace you all. May God bless us all. Good day to you.

JCT: Yes, the Amerikan Empire has abused the fact the U.N.
sits in New York. Amerika isn't fit for a world body. Time
to move it somewhere that is fit.

So, the Latin Social Currency engineer made waves at the
UN. What's interesting is that Iran's Ahmadinejad is also an
engineer. Nice to think peace-talking engineers are finally
starting to have an impact on the world rather than war-
talking low-tech Bush and economist Stephen Harper.

Blessed be the peace-makers. Cursed be the war-makers.
