Venezuela 1956

Here's a lovely film showing Venezuela through the eyes of a North American oil company employee in 1956 -
Creole Assignment: Venezuela.

Comment by johnvillegasi: "Este extraordinario video de Creole Petroleoum Corporation nos hace reflexionar muchas cosas. Entre ellas, que hasta 1955 Venezuela había tenido gobernantes que querían lo mejor para ella. Prueba de lo anterior es que entre los años 40 y 1980, Venezuela ocupó el 3er lugar en ingreso per capita en el mundo, siguiendo solo a Suiza y EEUU. Permaneció durante esos años como la nación que tuvo mayor crecimiento sostenido a nivel mundial. El producto del petróleo se invertía en infraestructura e industria."

Venezuela 2002

How are your propaganda spotting talents?

Which, do you think, of the following two documentaries conveys the truth?

This video shows the 1992 coup and counter coup in Venezuela -
The Revolution will not be Televised.

Comment by Marcos (a Venezuelan citizen): "The footage is very good, 'surprisingly good' if you know what i mean. On the other hand, this 'documentary' shows some truth, but also some lies and a lot of manipulation. Why? Because it focuses only in both extremes leaving aside all the people, A LOT OF PLEOPLE, who is in between and dislikes the opposition and Chavez's goverment, why the producers didn't do some research on this? To finish, for those who don't speak spanish, the 'documentary' is conveniently translated to make look better Chavez's side."

That video spawned this one debunking it -
X-Ray of a Lie.

Comment by curandero62: "Me parece una excelente respuesta para contrarestar a la desinformacion que sufren en el extranjero, por lo menos a puesto a dudar a muchos sobre la veracidad de la informacion que les llega a traves de los medios afectos al regimen de Chavez. Chavez inteligentemente se ha puesto como la victima ante los medios extranjeros, y eso le rindio dividendos dentro de la izquierda, sobre todo europea, que anda como pollo sin cabeza, buscado desesperadamente un lider romantico tipo Fidel en sus primeros años!"

You have to make up your own mind where the truth lies.

'Giant Girl Doll'

An entrancing video and music combination: Giant Girl Doll.

Also 'Loose Change'
If you haven't already seen it, you should watch 'Loose Change'. Though the video is criticised, it is nonetheless considered to raise questions that urgently demand serious scrutiny - with big implications for us all.
