Please Distribute Widely

Dear Colleagues,

We've just received this message in the newsroom from our valued colleagues
at Vheadline.com, the English-language Internet news publication reporting
from Venezuela.

Vheadline's work has been crucial this month - as it was in April - to break
the information blockade and get the true facts out from Venezuela to the
world.

In Venezuela, where the sleazy pro-coup bosses of the big banks have held
every citizen's money hostage over the past week, shutting their doors last
Monday, reducing their "banker's hours" on other days, suddenly feigning
"system breakdowns" and other pretexts to rob rank-and-file citizens and
small business of their access to their own money, one of the sectors most
affected is the small and independent press.

Billionaire Gustavo Cisneros' Venevision won't be having cash flow problems,
nor will Associated Press, but more honest sources of information will.

The National Assembly (Congress) in Venezuela is investigating the bank
closures and slow-downs as violations of the Constitution, and the log-jam
will be removed. But meanwhile, Authentic Journalists need to keep the
information flowing.

After reading this appeal from Vheadline for international help, I'm
donating $100 to keep this vital news source reporting from the front.
Because Vheadline is an independent shoestring operation, a little bit of
help will go a long way.

Kind readers, you've helped Narco News when we were sued by narco-bankers
and when we lost our newsroom laptop. Thanks to you, we beat the
narco-lawsuit and now have three newsroom laptops accompanied by three staff
reporters and an entire School of Authentic Journalism. Narco News is
healthy and strong today. My own sense of Mutual Aid in times of crisis
tells me it's the hour to help keep Vheadline reporting its plurality of
news and views from Venezuela. Please join me in keeping the Authentic
Journalism Renaissance alive by helping our friends at Vheadline.

Address any questions, please, to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

from somewhere in a country called América,

Al Giordano
Publisher
Narco News
