Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Eva Golinger, Janine Bandcroft Mar. 4, 2015

This Week on GR

by C. L. Cook - Gorilla-Radio.com

 

Tomorrow marks a sad anniversary for Venezuela; at least that part of the country that respected, loved, and revered former president, Hugo Chávez Frias. True, not everyone loved Hugo; he was a thorn in the side of Venezuela's oligarch class and foreign corporate interests that profited while the people suffered.

Repeated attempts were made to oust Chávez from the presidency, and those efforts continue to daunt his successor, Nicolás Maduro, with western press attacks coming fast and furious, much as they did preceding coup attempts against Chávez.

Listen. Hear.

Eva Golinger is an award-winning American journalist, and author. Dubbed 'La Novia de Venezuela' by her friend Hugo Chávez, she's worked and lived in Caracas for the greater part of the last decade. Winner of the International Award for Journalism in Mexico, Golinger is also an attorney and author dividing her time between New York and Caracas.

Golinger's English book titles include: 'Bush vs. Chávez: Washington's War on Venezuela,' 'The Empire's Web: Encyclopedia of Interventionism and Subversion,' and 'The Chávez Code: Cracking US Intervention in Venezuela,' currently being made into a feature film. Golinger has, since 2003, been analyzing and investigating US interventions in Latin America and, as well as her many English articles, has written two books in Spanish on the subject. Eva is also a news presenter for RT, where she also produced the documentary film, 'One Day with President Evo Morales.'
