USA - June 4 - 16, 2015

I spoke at prestigious Whitehead Conference in Southern California. It took me almost 2 days to get there, flying from Johannesburg to Doha, then 16 hours to Dallas, and finally to Ontario, California. It was surreal. I came to present, to show what is Empire doing to people in Africa.. I showed clips from my films made for South American TeleSur and for PressTV. But I was asked " not to show too graphic images, as people on the US are sensitive!" I felt sick in California, psychologically and physically. It is truly ill country... I could not write there. I met comrades like Michael Parenti, but they were depressed there as well. I spoke in San Jose, Monterrey and Fresno, but crowds were consisting of old people; no passion. Really no passion. "Why are you telling us all that?" I heard once. I snapped back: "So you stop murdering millions all over the world by your cowardice and complacency". I left US delirious, happy. I left for Latin America, to the continent where live mi gente - my people. To the continent where socialism won. Viva la revolucion! Up to ass with the Empire!

South Africa - May 27 - June 3, 2015

I was invited to speak at huge International Conference of Psychologists for Peace in Johannesburg and Pretoria. It was incredible event! We spoke about how psychologists in the US help security forces to interrogate and torture political prisoners. We discussed how psychologists can participate in peace processes. We visited townships and participated at negations between the government officials and poor citizens. Done great institutions like UNISA were involved. I was the only philosopher there - others were psychologists from all over the world.
