In this article we look at the origins of coffee from the South American continent. Brazilian Coffee - Brazil produces roughly a third of the worlds' coffee, but the bulk of it is of the Robusta variety and is not considered to be of high quality. It is mainly used for blending, and the Brazilians have always had the priority of low price over quality. However there are some excellent Arabica coffees grown around the Sao Paulo region, where the well know Santos or Bourbon Santos bean are produced. Another popular variety is the Rio, a dry-processed bean with a characteristic medicinal-like flavour. Considered a defect by most westerners it is however much loved in the Balkans and Middle-Eastern...
Hugo Chavez - I Am The State
Hugo Chavez is making it clear that his vision, and only his vision, will dominate in Venezuelan media. If any proof is required of his intention, one need only look at the crackdowns and threats that have been directed at private media outlets. Criticism of Chavez comes with a price. A private station, RCTV, was recently shut down. The tactic used was to simply allow the license to expire, something Chavez has been threatening to do for years. Around 5,000 protesters who took the streets to oppose the RCTV shutdown, were subjected to tears gas and rubber bullets. Chavez doesn't like to be criticized. Like a lot of authoritarian leaders he wants television to bask in his image and sing his praises...

Israel - Monkey See, Money Do
It never fails, but I always fail to understand the media in such situations, and the dumb folks that follow it, or them, like white on rice, as if they do not have a mind of their own, or perhaps they are Jew Haters also, there are a lot out there. And CNN news, which I follow daily, along with other news media's, are the worse. Today's headlines reads, "World rallies around Palestinians and the Gaza offensive," now let's think logically, there is a reason for that headlines, after days of highlighting Israel's attack on the Palestine, rallied by CNN news, who said little prior to that about Israel being bombarded daily for months on end by the rockets coming out of Gaza killing, wounding...
Why Won't the World Condemn Hugo Chavez?
Internationally, Chavez has made much publicized alliances with other pariah states such as Iran, Syria, North Korea and Libya, and more importantly, with Russia. He's maintained an extremely close relationship with Cuba, installing thousands of Fidel Castro's people in his own government, and maintained narrow ties with Manuel Ortega, Nicaragua's own leftist ruler. Chavez has exported his leftist Bolivarian Revolution to Bolivia, where president Evo Morales seems to echo his every word. Honduras' former president, Manuel Zelaya, was in the process of implementing Chavista reforms, when he was ousted last year. Ecuador, formerly Chavez' strongest ally, has suddenly turned its back on him. Despite...

The total world debt soared from approximately $100 billion in the early 1970s to nearly $900 billion dollars by the mid-1980s.

It is no surprise, therefore, that the deep gulf in time which separates us from the early Peruvians creates unfathomable mysteries and legends which reach from the gods to colossal empire of man, from ritual temples to alien civilisations from the stars! It was the Norte Chico civilisation which has left more behind for us to see today, and...
