Dear readers:
After a month-long semi-hiatus while I was traveling overseas—including on assignment in Bolivia—our Daily Report is resuming full publication. I was in Bolivia to cover the World People’s Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, which I blogged live from Cochabamba.
Our supporters who are still waiting for the latest entry in our pamphlet series will be receiving this long-outstanding premium in May. While the original title, Petro-Imperialism: the Overstretched American Empire and the Struggle for the Planet’s Oil, appears to be morphing into a book, the pamphlet will focus on last year’s indigenous uprising in Peru’s Amazon region against oil contracts in the rainforest. We hope this is acceptable to our donors.
World War 4 Report continues to need your support. If you appreciate first-hand on-the-scene-reports that bring our independent eye to little-covered issues critical to the question of global survival, please help us. Make a small donation, send feedback so we know we are reaching you, or spread the word about our existence.
Thank you, shukran and gracias,
Bill Weinberg
