Canadian couple John Riddell and Susan Weiss talk to Latin Radical about their experience on the Australian Venezuela solidarity brigade. Not only were they witnesses to the recent plebiscite, but they were able to observe the workings of the "Community Councils" which the Chavez government is trying to empower. People are encouraged to work together at a community level and given the means to circumvent entrenched bureaucracies. Note: Sound quality is poor. This was a phone interview on a noisy international connection. Nevertheless, it is worth hearing what John and Susan have to say. |

Fred Fuentes reports from ground base in Caracas, Venezuela. Are there really food shortages? What are these "Community Councils"? Are they really an instrument to centralise power to the President? Why has President Hugo Chavez and his government so calmly accepted the narrow rejection of the 66 point plebiscite to change the Venezuelan constitution? Fred has been in Venezuela for over a year and has his finger on the pulse of Bolivarian activism. He rounds up this interview with an insightful assessment of how President Hugo Chavez international status has been enhanced by his success in persuading the Columbian FARC guerillas to release hostages, in spite of efforts by the US and the Columbian President to sabotage a successful outcome. |

Bob, freshly back from Wetford Folk Festival, arrives late &
bedraggled, talking of strange little Mushroom Men. He relates tales
from Wetford, heaping praise on many including James Morrison &
Babylon Circus. The boys discuss the funeral of local icon, Chicken George, and the poor behaviour of the local Sergeant. Jack instructs us in the Language of Tourism. They
muse about fireworks and the smell of gunpowder. Entire track from
Muyngarnbi included.

Second hour and Bob's still going on about the wet. He also waxes lyrical on the price of oil and both the lads have a bit to say about the US Primaries. They take a big deep breath of Chinese air and live to tell the tale. Pakistan and Kenya get sent to the corner to have a long hard think about themselves and David Hicks' bail conditions are dragged out at arms length and fumigated.

Well boys and girls, here we are only a few sleeps short of good ol' Xmas Day. Jack and I discuss the banality that is the West's idea of a religious festival. We poke deep in the communal psyche and discover nasty green stuff on our fingers. Wanna taste?

Continuing on from where we were so rudely interrupted by the untimely end of the previous pod... I should mention that in honour of the rapidly approaching "Annual Day of Excess", Jack & I are wearing our matching "Kill a Santa for Christ" T-shirts. I'll be away next week so Jack will be flying solo... back in the New Year and let's hope it's a fuckin' beauty!
