The serial invasions continued through the early 1900s, when the US sent in marines (and incidentally, first used aircraft as a weapon of war) through the 1920s.  Throughout the 1980s the US financed the mercenary remnant of Somoza's National Guard, the 'contras,' financed illegally by the CIA and cocaine connections. Eventually, through a near total economic blockade,Nicaragua was virtually starved into submission, until a government more to the liking of the US was elected in 1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;LatinRadical marks this occasion with a selection of videos focusing on the Sandinista Revolution.

She was present during the mayhem of the 1999 referendum, and worked at times as an adviser to the President Jose Ramos Horta, during the period when he was the Foreign Minister for the East Timorese government. She talks to community radio 2NimFM about the controversial Truth and Friendship Commission, which was supposed to expose human rights abuses by the Indonesian militia. She clears up some of the confusion about the Commission, which has been criticised in the past for being ineffective and powerless to prosecute offenders. Particularly relevant at this time, with recent (and not so recent) press revelations about Australian intelligence services selectively gathering, and also holding back, information under political pressures, on the grounds of maintaining diplomatic relations. Diplomatic relations seem to still be supervening human rights issues, despite the lessons of history.&lt;br /&gt;15Mb.  64kbps mono 16mins 18seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Ef/VenezuelaSolidarity?a=5eW1tI"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Ef/VenezuelaSolidarity?i=5eW1tI" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;" class="audio-player-container player"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;function FlashRequest(command, args) {}&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="audio-player-placeholder"&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" align="middle" height="27"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="best"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="window"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.libsyn.com%2Fmedia%2Fnimbinradiomedia%2FJanelle21_Jun_2008_16_21_27.mp3"&gt;&lt;embed classname="audio-player-embed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.libsyn.com%2Fmedia%2Fnimbinradiomedia%2FJanelle21_Jun_2008_16_21_27.mp3" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="400" height="27"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;span title="Click to open in a new window" class="link popout"&gt;Popout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="view-enclosure-parent"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/nimbinradiomedia/Janelle21_Jun_2008_16_21_27.mp3" class="" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="view-enclosure"&gt;Original audio source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

She was present during the mayhem of the 1999 referendum, and worked at times as an adviser to the President Jose Ramos Horta, during the period when he was the Foreign Minister for the East Timorese government. She talks to community radio 2NimFM about the controversial Truth and Friendship Commission, which was supposed to expose human rights abuses by the Indonesian militia. She clears up some of the confusion about the Commission, which has been criticised in the past for being ineffective and powerless to prosecute offenders. Particularly relevant at this time, with recent (and not so recent) press revelations about Australian intelligence services selectively gathering, and also holding back, information under political pressures, on the grounds of maintaining diplomatic relations. Diplomatic relations seem to still be supervening human rights issues, despite the lessons of history. 15Mb. 64kbps mono 16mins 18seconds. function FlashRequest(command, args) {}PopoutOriginal audio source </itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Hugo,Chavez,Venezuela,socialism,Bolivarian,Latin,America,revolution,solidarity</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://vensol.blogspot.com/2008/06/timor-leste-janelle-saffin-human-rights.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Caracas on the Line - Fred Fuentes; Chavez on the FARC, hostage release, and PSUV elections</title><link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/VenezuelaSolidarity/~3/315825015/caracas-on-line-fred-fuentes-chavez-on.html</link><category>Venezuela</category><author>ratbagradio@gmail.com</author><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:07:09 -0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28966393.post-3957349044751258535</guid><description>&lt;div style="text-align: left;" class="postBody"&gt;&lt;div class="postBody"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://libsyn.com/images/nimbinradiomedia/hugo_chavez_thumb.jpg" class="postImage" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.3 Mb. 64kbps mono 13mins 41 secs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fred Fuentes, latest report from Caracas.
