John Pilger is spot on and the international media especially the BBC, surprise, surprise, has colluded with the reactionary right wing neo liberal Piniera Government 's media gloss,spin and constructed lies and very blatant and criminal omission of the reality of the ongoing Mapuche political prisoners hunger strike by not presenting the San Jose mine rescue in any form of coherent or critical political, economic, social or historical context and by attempting to 'depoliticise' the whole thing inorder to glorify the Pinmeirda government.
Pineira is due to meet Cameron some time next week before or after his talk at the LSE on Monday in what should be ab eventful week of mass protest against the neo liberal cuts and privatisation offensive.
Support the picket outside the LSE on the 18th October and spread the word
Like multi millionaire capitalist media mogul Berlosconi in Italy before him and the decodedly lack lustre French President Sar....kozy's now faced with mass protest Pinmierda's bubble will at some point burst no matter how much he tries to milk the San Jose mine rescue for all he can as the whole capitalist mass media merry go round clamours to exploit it for all it can.....it will ultimately unravel.
The Atacama desert, historically rich in minerals much of it stolen from Bolivia and where the land and the people have been brutally exploited by Chilean, US and British mining corporations over decades, still holds the graves of many of those who were disappeared under Pinochet.
A new documentary by Patricion Guzman called 'Nostalgia For The Light ' (Nostalgie De La Lumiere)
Director(s): Patricio Guzman
Producer(s):Renate Sachse
France, Germany, Chile
2010 o 90 min o HDCAM o Spanish
' With zero humidity, South America’s Atacama desert is the driest place on earth – and the perfect location for astronomers to study the night sky. Scientists from around the world have flocked here, using giant telescopes to unlock the secrets of the galaxy.
The climate and massive salt deposits also preserve the secrets in the earth, making the region a haven for archaeologists as well, who are able to study how the area has been a transit route for 10,000 years. But it is the more recent past – and its terrible secrets – which concern director Patricio Guzman. The desert hosted the largest concentration camp for political prisoners of the Pinochet regime, thousands of whom were assassinated and buried here; their remains still searched for by grieving relatives. In a thought provoking, stirring and meditative tour de force which had its world premiere at the Cannes Film FestivalGuzman explores the many paradoxes of a remarkable land.
“Overall, the material is so unusual, the research so complete for a 90-minute documentary, and the subjects so knowledgeable and sympathetic that the viewer is fascinated throughout.” – Screen Daily
