Four Weeks that Shook Oaxaca Geoffrey Harman 2006-06-22 1:34 PM
AXACA CITY: Momentum is a powerful force. This is a lesson that Oaxaca’s Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) state government is learning painfully. By ignoring, belittling, then attacking the teachers’ movement, Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz has spawned a popular revolt that could lead to the fourth overthrow of the state government in Oaxaca’s history.

Bloody day in Oaxaca, Mexico Mark N. Mexico 2006-06-19 8:47 PM
The counterattack begins at about 9:00 AM. Look at the guy's sweatshirt there on the left. That is not me. The teachers counterattacked with some 10-15,000 bodies against the force of 3000 policemen trying to hold the city's center. I might add here that most of the police were not armed with anything more than nightsticks and Billy clubs. Does the name Custer ring a bell? (text/plain)

Killing season in the Philippines Herbert Docena 2006-06-16 9:50 AM

The escalating repression taking place now in the Philippines is no coincidence. Twenty years since the end of the dictatorship and three "people's power" uprisings later, Philippine society is hugely polarized. If the recent killing spree signifies anything, it's that the growing coercion and the abandonment of democratic rights portend the fraying of the post-1986 political order, when the dictator Marcos was unceremoniously thrown from power and democracy restored. What will replace those democratic hopes, more than at any time in recent years, is a point of bitter political contention. (image/gif)

Action Alert - US Intervention in Nicaraguan Elections Quixote Center/Quest for Peace 2006-06-15 1:23 PM
For twenty-five years United States policy toward Nicaragua has been directed by two goals: working against Sandinista efforts to hold or retain power, and forcing free market ideology on the country in the form of trade agreements and harsh loan conditions from USAID, the World Bank, IMF and other institutions. This is not the policy of the people of the United States, and we need to make that clear. (text/plain)

Ralph Nader: “Americans Need Moral Courage!” William Hughes 2006-06-11 12:05 PM

Ralph Nader spoke at a campaign rally, in Baltimore, MD, on behalf of Kevin Zeese, who’s running as an Independent for a U.S. Senate seat. Nader called his former press secretary, “a great candidate.” An activist’s activist, Nader said a vast majority of Americans need a dose of “moral courage.” They have allowed “a few,” to rule over the many. “Democracy,” Nader said, “isn’t a slogan.

A New "Perle Harbor": Neocon Foreign Policy Architect Richard Perle reveals US W Dr. Michael Carmichael 2006-06-10 3:36 PM
Citing Iraq as a glowing example of an obvious need for direct intervention, Perle admitted that he had long advocated military solutions for regime change in that theatre. In his talk, he reminded us that President Bush had launched the invasion on the basis of several triggering factors including Nigerian yellow cake, WMDs, terrorist connections, democracy-building and humanitarian issues. Thus, Perle was finally reduced to justifying the Iraq War as a humanitarian crusade – a theme that struck hollow in the midst of reports of civil war, torture and US war crimes against innocent civilians in Haditha.

Pentagon sets its sights on social networking websites Paul Marks 2006-06-09 10:35 PM
New Scientist has discovered that Pentagon's National Security Agency, which specialises in eavesdropping and code-breaking, is funding research into the mass harvesting of the information that people post about themselves on social networks. And it could harness advances in internet technology - specifically the forthcoming "semantic web" championed by the web standards organisation W3C - to combine data from social networking websites with details such as banking, retail and property records, allowing the NSA to build extensive, all-embracing personal profiles of individuals.
