When<\/span>\u00a0Trin<\/span>idad an<\/span>d Tobago Prime Min<\/span>ister, Dr. Eric Williams, declared in<\/span>\u00a01963: \u201cMassa Day Don<\/span>e\u201d, he was in<\/span>fact makin<\/span>g a courageous declaration<\/span>\u00a0that we must\u00a0n<\/span>ever give up the struggle of resistin<\/span>g \u201cMassa\u201d the oppressor, an<\/span>d of seekin<\/span>g to liberate the oppressed.<\/p>\n

An<\/span>other powerful Caribbean<\/span>\u00a0voice resistin<\/span>g oppression<\/span>\u00a0was that of CLR James who, in<\/span>\u00a01938, wrote \u2018Black Jacobin<\/span>s\u2019. His courageous scholarship en<\/span>sured that Toussain<\/span>t l\u2019Overture\u2019s Haitian<\/span>\u00a0revolution<\/span>\u00a0(1791-1804), in<\/span>which the slaves defeated the slave-master, would forever remain<\/span>\u00a0authen<\/span>tically recorded in<\/span>\u00a0scholarly history.<\/p>\n

But the most powerful voice of all to den<\/span>oun<\/span>ce \u201cMassa\u201d, an<\/span>d to challen<\/span>ge the slave-master\u2019s oppression<\/span>with such matchless eloquen<\/span>ce that even<\/span>\u00a0the echoes of his voice still drives fear in<\/span>to the hearts of the oppressors of the world, was the voice of Malcolm X.<\/p>\n

The time has come for us to remin<\/span>d our peoples, Christian<\/span>s, Hin<\/span>dus, Muslims an<\/span>d others, that the US Govern<\/span>men<\/span>t an<\/span>d Armed Forces, as well as such econ<\/span>omic an<\/span>d mon<\/span>etary agen<\/span>cies as the In<\/span>tern<\/span>ation<\/span>al Mon<\/span>etary Fun<\/span>d, over which USA has con<\/span>trol, have con<\/span>tin<\/span>uously fun<\/span>ction<\/span>ed as \u201cMassa\u201d while oppressin<\/span>g all those who refuse to submit to their dictates. Europe has remain<\/span>ed a faithful ally of the US \u201cMassa\u201d, even<\/span>while the Fren<\/span>ch Emperor\u2019s crown<\/span>\u00a0is shakin<\/span>g on<\/span>\u00a0his gilded head.<\/p>\n

We write to explain<\/span>\u00a0that the major weapon<\/span>\u00a0used all this while by \u201cMassa\u201d, with which he wages econ<\/span>omic an<\/span>d mon<\/span>etary war on<\/span>\u00a0the masses aroun<\/span>d the world, is\u00a0in<\/span>flation<\/span><\/i>. It is more dan<\/span>gerous than<\/span>\u00a0n<\/span>uclear weapon<\/span>s sin<\/span>ce it can<\/span>\u00a0be used to brin<\/span>g a people who oppose \u201cMassa\u2019s\u201d oppression<\/span>\u00a0to their kn<\/span>ees, an<\/span>d facilitate\u00a0regime-chan<\/span>ge,<\/i>\u00a0without an<\/span>y\u00a0n<\/span>eed for military in<\/span>terven<\/span>tion<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We can<\/span>\u00a0see that times have chan<\/span>ged; but the \u201costrich\u201d with her head buried in<\/span>\u00a0the san<\/span>d can<\/span>n<\/span>ot see it. \u201cMassa\u2019s\u201d dogs can<\/span>\u00a0bark as much as they wan<\/span>t, it will\u00a0n<\/span>ot preven<\/span>t our caravan<\/span>\u00a0from movin<\/span>g on<\/span>. There can<\/span>be\u00a0n<\/span>o possibility of regime-chan<\/span>ge in<\/span>\u00a0Ven<\/span>ezuela without an<\/span>\u00a0American<\/span>-led military in<\/span>terven<\/span>tion<\/span>; an<\/span>d the American<\/span>s do\u00a0n<\/span>ot dare to in<\/span>terven<\/span>e militarily in<\/span>\u00a0Ven<\/span>ezuela so lon<\/span>g as Russia, Mexico an<\/span>d the Caribbean<\/span>n<\/span>ation<\/span>s remain<\/span>\u00a0firmly opposed to it.<\/p>\n

Just in<\/span>\u00a0case the American<\/span>\u00a0Ambassador an<\/span>d his local \u201costrich\u201d con<\/span>tin<\/span>ue to misjudge this coun<\/span>try (i.e., Trin<\/span>idad an<\/span>d Tobago), as well as the rest of the Caribbean<\/span>, a march of a hun<\/span>dred thousan<\/span>d or more to the US Embassy on<\/span>\u00a0Marley Street in<\/span>\u00a0support of this govern<\/span>men<\/span>t\u2019s courageous Ven<\/span>ezuelan<\/span>\u00a0foreign<\/span>\u00a0policy may soon<\/span>\u00a0have to be organ<\/span>ized.<\/p>\n
