Program Title: Jorge Martin talks about incredible changes happening in Venezuela
Description: Brief Intro of Noam Chomsky from his talk Necessary Illusions

Followed by an interview with Jorge Martin International Secretary of the Hands Off Venezuela campaign. They speak off incredible changes happening in Venezuela, such as the Mission Milagro (a social program to offer eye operations to hundreds of thousands of people who would otherwise not be able to afford them), challenges that face the Venezuelan revolution from the parasitical nature of the oligarchy and Imperialism who have relied on institutions like the World Bank, and the IMF, to the rising wave of Latin American initiatives (such as Telesur, and the Banco del Sud) which are having a limited, but progressive role in breaking with the domination of foreign capital.

The interview points out how the crisis of capitalism as a system which is incapable of providing for the basic necessities and future prospects of the majority, even in the advanced capitalist countries. We hear about what is being done, and what can be done in order to end the crisis and move forward to begin fulfiling our true potential.
