[LAAMN] Fwd: Urgent: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced Tomorrow!
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY Zach Hurwitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 11:18:29 -0700 Subject: Urgent: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced Tomorrow! From: Zach Hurwitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ven Oct05 Founders Tour [EMAIL PROTECTED], Ven WFYS pax Aug 05 [EMAIL PROTECTED], Venezuela - March 2006 Women's Tour [EMAIL PROTECTED] URGENT: A Second Anti-Venezuela Resolution to be Introduced Tomorrow in the House. Please contact your representative today! This Wednesday, Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) intends to introduce a resolution in the House condemning Venezuela for supposedly not cooperating with the United States in the fight against narco- trafficking. Much like Connie Macks Anti-Venezuela resolution, which was introduced earlier this year, the Burton Resolution is also filled with distorted facts and half truths http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=121006275url_num=1url=http://www.rethinkvenezuela.com/downloads/burtonres.htm that paint an inaccurate picture of the situation (more details below). What You Can Do: Please contact your House representative today! There are three ways to help: 1) Click here to send a letter to your representative. http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=121006275url_num=2url=http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/VIO/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=3658 If you are not sure who your representative is, its ok! Our software will automatically identify your representative based on your home zip code. 2) Call your Representative to tell him/her that this ill-conceived legislation is filled with inaccuracies and will do nothing to improve U.S. Venezuela relations. The Congressional Switchboard can patch you through. Just call 202-224-3121. 3) Share this alert with your friends and colleagues. Please pass it on far and wide. Last March, your faxes and phone calls convinced Rep. Mack to pull his anti-Venezuela legislation. We need your help again, because the stakes could be even higher. What the Burton Resolution Says: The resolution argues that Venezuela is not doing enough to combat drug trafficking. While it is non-binding, the strategy is to create a public record of condemnation that may be used to justify more direct measures against Venezuela in the future. Like the Mack Resolution, it is another tool to discredit the Venezuelan government during an election year and even to justify intervention. Also like the Mack Resolution, it is based on some conspicuously bad information: 1) The Burton Resolution claims that drug trafficking significantly increased in Venezuela last year. In reality, Venezuelan drug seizures were on the increase, meaning that enforcement was way up, not an increase in trafficking. 2) The resolution cites a high-profile case of an airplane filled with cocaine that was seized in Mexico last month as an example of Venezuelas supposed lack of enforcement. The implication simply ignores the fact that tips from Venezuelan officials led to seizure in the first place. 3) The resolution claims that the Venezuelan government does not publicize its drug seizure statistics, which is simply a false statement. There are many more distorted facts in the resolution. To see the rest, check out our fact sheet http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=121006275url_num=3url=http://www.rethinkvenezuela.com/downloads/burtonres.htm here. NOTE: The Venezuela Information Office is dedicated to informing the American public about contemporary Venezuela, and receives its funding from the government of Venezuela. More information is available from the FARA office of the Department of Justice in Washington DC. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

[LAAMN] [ChiapasNetwork05] Cop Watch LA Report on the South Central Farm
View the story here on Indy Media with photos from the vigil (police involvement) and the video of the police helicopter from the benefit concert: http://la.indymedia.org/news/2006/05/159540.php Cop Watch LA Report on the South Central Farm: Police intimidate the community and Prepare to Attack Tuesday May 16th, 2006 Cop Watch Los Angeles, was present at a vigil, organized by the Friends of the South Central Farm, at Mayor Antonio Villaraigosas house. There were 50 people protesting, and holding up signs, chanting, and drumming. The Los Angeles Police Department also had a presence. They harassed and ticketed people who drove by and honked in support of the protesters. Their excuse for honking people who honked was that, any noise that was considered undesirable (meaning that anything that was above the current noise level) was considered illegal or unlawful. They used this to also attack the protestors who were drumming and chanting. They said they would detain everyone who was playing the drums (if we didnt identify a leader). They were going to take down everyones information there (name, address, etc). At this point an individual chose to identify himself as the leader (for the purpose of diffusing the police harassment). Cop Watch took down the police contact information as well (name and badge number) and we maintained a presence at the vigil as long as the police did as well. Friday May 19th, 2006 The South Central Farmers were having a benefit concert at the farm with guests Tom Morello, Aztlan Underground, Quetzal, Union 13, Sol de Centro and others. Cop Watch LA received an emergency call from the a friend of the farm (Code Red Alert), and told us that there were over 4 cop cars patrolling the farm and that police had allowed themselves to enter the farm (under orders of their superiors a.k.a. the Sheriffs department). Members of Cop Watch LA showed up with cameras and took down reports from the organizers of the event. When we first got there we saw the presence of the police around the farm. Talking to some of the organizers of the SCF, they told us that the police had mentioned that they would have a permanent presence at the farm. The LAPD spoke to one of the organizers asking questions about the organizations who are involved in the support of the farm, their level of militancy, and also asked about their plans for civil disobedience. At one point a police helicopter circled the farm, shinning their light on the concert, circled a couple of times and left. The police are overtly trying to intimidate the community and supporters of the South Central Farm, as they prepare to attempt to oust the farmers. Theyre also trying to assess the amount of support they have and from whom. So they can strategize for the groups that are going to defend the farm. Cop Watch Los Angeles supports the South Central Farm and will be there to observe and document the law enforcements role and attacks on the farmers and their supporters. Cop Watch LA also provides security for the people. If you wish to get involved contact Cop Watch Los Angeles at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (562) 252-8501 www.myspace.com/copwatchla COPWATCH Los Angeles is a program committed to the struggle that will end police brutality through observing and monitoring the pigs, offer support for those caught in the criminal (in)justice system, fight for the change without reformist consciousness, and ultimately work side-by-side with liberated communities to create revolutionary alternatives to policing, prisons, and systems of domination, oppression and exploitation. Our Goals: -Form neighborhood patrols within communities we live in -Offer support to those people and their families harassed, brutalized and/or murdered by law enforcement agencies -Share resources, training and support with communities interested in creating a COPWATCH program -Organize educational events, start a newsletter and develop intelligence through research and study groups -Participate in the process of building autonomy, self-determination, and the self-organization of our many communities. - Ring'em or ping'em.

Help to Save the Farm! Friends, I've been staying at the farm when I can. There is much hope there. Please find a way to help out. Please don't ever believe that you are powerless to shape your world, your city, community, or yourself. All things are possible, and we need to work together, everyone of us, so we can see miracles. - Daniel French http://www.southcentralfarmers.org Below is a note from the support committee of the S. Central Farm... We still need your support! Day 9 of the Community Encampment: As the threat of impending eviction looms, South Central Farm needs your support to preserve the nations largest urban farm, which serves as a 14-acre oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. This 14-year old community gem functions as an active farm for more than 350 families and fills a local community need for fresh produce, green space and a safe haven in a poverty-stricken region of Los Angeles. What you can do: 1) Come to South Central Farm to join in our community encampment and tree sit. 2) Attend an informational training session at the farm tomorrow (Thursday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to learn effective strategies to support the farmers. If you cant attend the whole session, come for as long as you can! 3) Donate to support the South Central Farmers effort to buy the land and maintain it as a community farm. 4) Drop off supplies used for camping and food at the farm. 5) Walk around the farm every morning, from about 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.. Some believe the sheriffs will attempt an eviction at dawn, which means really early. It would be helpful for us all if there were witnesses who just happended to be walking by, or doing their morning walk etc... to be there, hopefully with cameras, just in case something goes down. 6) Candlelight vigil every night at the farm, 7 p.m. A profound procession in support of the S. Central Farm. 7) Forward this message to friends and family! To find out more or make a donation, please go to http://www.southcentralfarmers.org. By saving this farm we are establishing a precedent, which prioritizes central, local food production, safe open space for children, and the greening of America. Julia Butterfly Hill, who is tree-sitting in the heart of the farm, and has been fasting for 16 days, said today We have to make our cities more livable so people stop leaving them in order to live. Until recently, the concept of sustainability has been predominantly an option available only for the wealthy. This project is about making sustainability available for all. Join us.

Los Angeles The July 12 Superior Court case, questioning the legality of
the sale of the South Central Farm back to the developer Ralph Horowitz, is
open to media, and supporters urge all media representatives to attend. Please
register in advance to attend, see information below.
The Final Status Conference is presently scheduled for 9:30 a.m., July 12, in
Dept. 18 of the downtown Superior Court. Judge Helen Bendix will be the trial
judge. Trial testimony may not begin on July 12 because the judge will have to
rule on a number of motions and other matters before the trial itself begins.
Trial testimony is expected to begin in the afternoon of the 12th or on the
following day. The judge will let us know
on July 12.
Media who want to have television or videotape cameras in the courtroom need
to get clearance in advance from the judge. To do so, they have to submit a
Form 980 to the public information office at the courthouse. The form is
available on the courthouse website, www.lasuperiorcourt.org in the section
marked News and Media. After filling out the form, the news organization or
filmmaker seeking to have a camera in the courtroom should fax the form to the
public information office at the following fax number: (213) 621-7642. For
more information, interested media people can call the public information
office at (213) 974-5227.
The South Central Farm supporters and farmers will hold another Family
Friendly Parade in Santa Monica this Saturday, July 1 starting at Reed Park on
700 Wilshire Blvd. Farmers and children are available to interview at 1 pm on
the corner of California Ave. and Lincoln Blvd. They will be making statements
about the drastic effect the eviction from South Central Farm continues to have
on their lives. Volunteers and supporters will be available, as well.
The Parade is an important and lively opportunity to reach out into the
community to spread the word about the South Central Farm and raise support.
Last week over one hundred farmers and supporters marched in a colorful and
enthusiastic Venice boardwalk parade dispensing plants from the farm,
literature about Farm-based community events and education about the growing
battle to protect the nations largest urban farm, South Central Farm. Its
not over yet.
WHEN:
Saturday, July 1 at 1 p.m.
WHAT:
Commencement of the South Central Farm Family Friendly Parade
WHO:
South Central Farmers and peaceful supporters, dancers, plus special musical
guests
WHERE:
Reed Park At The Corner of California Ave. and Lincoln Blvd., Santa Monica, CA
The South Central Farm is a gem in the Los Angeles landscape. It supplies
local communities with fresh, organic produce, gives children a safe
environment to play and learn in, and provides a successful example of urban
sustainability for the rest of the world to follow

[LAAMN] EMERGENCY! PROTEST THE MINUTEMEN!!!
THIS WAS POSTED ON THE IMC WEBSITE. PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL SANE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. FOR FURTHER ORGANIZING UPDATES GO TO WWW.LA.INDYMEDIA.ORG. ANNA SOS Plans To Go Back To Baldwin Park The Save Our State Organization will be going back to Baldwin Park to conduct another protests against the monument. TAKEN FROM THE SAVE OUR STATE INTERNET SITE:* As a result of our brand of aggressive, in your face activism and the response that has been displayed by our opponents, Americans are growing more and more emboldened and empowered to take a stand against the 'reconquistas.' Americans are beginning to learn how serious the illegal immigration problem is becoming. Americans are tired of the unchecked third world invasion of illegal aliens. They are tired of porous borders open to terrorist exploitation. They are tired of watching millions of illegal aliens and their anchor babies flood our schools and devastate the quality of learning afforded to our very own children. They are tired of illegal aliens abusing emergency rooms for medical treatment which has resulted in numerous closings and subsequent loss of services to the taxpaying public. They are tired of watching their great American culture disappear, only to watch it be replaced by other cultures that are inferior and contradictory to everything this country was built upon. AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF FEELING LIKE A FOREIGNER IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. For too long, our citizens have desecrated the memory of our great founding fathers as they stood quietly by and allowed this devastation to occur. Enough is enough. We have reached the point where we can no longer sit back and allow our government to aid and abet the illegal alien invasion. We must respond as our founding fathers would have responded. We must refresh the tree of liberty. We are angry! We are seething with anger and boiling with rage. And we are motivated and determined to fight back. This is our land. This is our fight. And we are willing to bleed to defend it. We have seen a rapid escalation in violence and posturing by our enemies. The Baldwin Park and Garden Grove attacks demonstrate the fear we are instilling in our enemies. They are not accustomed to being confronted and challenged. Gone are the days of the old paradigm where Americans reacted to the whims and actions of our open borders opponents. Gone are the days when we allowed our opponents to define the terminology of the debate. Save Our State was founded on the belief that we could create a new paradigm. A paradigm which consists of taking the battle to our opponents on our terms; ensuring that our enemies respond to our actions. Although we do not seek out violence, it must be said that we will not run from it. Although we seek to peacefully defend and protect our national sovereignty, we will not be fearful or intimidated. We must not acquiesce and we must not retreat. Make no mistake, our opponents are savages. In a pack, they grow incredibly brave. When alone they are as impotent as a church mouse. Our foes rely on fear, intimidation and the threat of violence in order to achieve victory. We must not waver and we must not withdraw from the fight. We must stand strong and beat back the enemy. For this is the only thing our opponents understand. Many suggest that violence is coming to California. Many suggest that a civil war of sorts may be on the horizon. I cannot control the actions of our opponents. For they ultimately decide whether or not violence will break out over this issue that is tearing our nation apart. Save Our State will not initiate violence. However, in no way will we attempt to appease our enemy out of fear that they might resort to violence. The monument in Baldwin Park is not just a rock. It is a disgusting testament to how pathetically apathetic Americans have grown in response to the hostile takeover attempt by the Mechistas and the massive illegal alien invasion. It is a slap in the face to all Americans and an insult to us all. We have a patriotic obligation to ensure that the seditious language on that monument is removed. And one way or another, it will be removed. Together, we will drive a stake through the heart of the 'reconquista' movement. This is American land. Today. Tomorrow. Forever. Baldwin Park, CA Corner of Pacific Downing (at Metrolink Rail Station) 12 PM - 2 PM Saturday, June 25th Please bring your own signs and/or American flags. It is imperative that you spread the word. Anyone bringing any racist signs, clothing, regalia, etc. will be ejected from our group. Obviously, we cannot control who comes out to protest. However, in no shape or form will Save Our State be affiliated with any supremacist organizations.

(fwd) Fyi, for those interested in an analysis of what's happening in Chiapas right now, please read Hilary's comments below, who just wrote this today. Hilary has worked and lived in Chiapas for over 6 years with communities down there, and just recently returned. i trust her analysis. in fact it was hilary who was invaluable when i went down to Chiapas to help provide resources and support to the formation of the Chiapas IMC. If people want to contact her directly for an interview, or other information, please let me know. chris -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 11:12:21 -0700 (PDT) Subject: my thoughts about the red alert in chiapas... Here are some of my thoughts and impressions about what is happening right now in Chiapas. In my effort to write one letter and communicate with a lot of people, please forgive me that I am writing to some people who are following this very closely and already know a lot about what is happening and to other people who may not have known what was happening in Chiapas or have much background information? Feel free to pass this letter along to other people who are interested, send it to lists or publish it on the internet, etc. I think the best places to look for news and comunicados are the Frente (www.fzln.org.mx) and Indymedia (chiapas.indymedia.org) web pages. much love to all, Hilary It feels odd to be here again, sitting in front of a computer screen, trying to collect my thoughts in order to share what?s going on with people in other places. It reminds me of 1998... (a year of a lot of tension and many military operations against the Zapatista communities). The main difference is that now information is available on the internet so quickly that you all may get news as soon as we do here. But I can try and share a little bit more detail about what is happening here, what it might mean, and what it feels like here. On Sunday night we found out from people in the communities that the Juntas de Buen Gobierno (the Good Government Councils) were packing up and leaving, that everything in the Caracoles (the Zapatista Centers of Resistance) was being packed up and taken away and that the Zapatista support base was on red alert. Sunday night there was also a comunicado that basically sends all three political parties to hell and says the whole political system is shit. It criticizes the PRI and the PAN, but the EZLN?s scorn for these two right wing parties is nothing new. But it also focuses on the PRD (a more progressive party) and Lopez Obrador, responding to everything that happened in the last few months with the desafuero (the Fox government?s attempt to charge Lopez Obrador with some petty crime and keep him from running for president next year. After a huge public outcry, he backed down.) Marcos says that Lopez Obrador should not be mistaken for a populist hero and that if he were president, his government would continue with the same neoliberal plans. That comunicado ends with a statement that the sixth hour has arrived and that it is time for the EZLN to struggle against all of the above. Also on Sunday night, the Mexican Army?s only response was that they had burned down marijuana plants in Zapatista territory. Clearly an effort to discredit the Zapatistas and a refusal to take the Zapatista?s political statements seriously. Monday afternoon a comunicado came out declaring the red alert, stating that all five Caracoles were being closed and that the Juntas would be operating clandestinely from now on. It also asked members of civil society to leave Zapatista territory (or if they want to stay, they stay at their own risk) and cut any ties between the EZLN and outside supporters. My interpretation is that this comunicado is an effort to protect the support base, the autonomous authorities, and Zapatista supporters. By evacuating the Caracoles, they protect not only the authorities that might be in danger in the near future, but they also trying to make sure that the Mexican army does not have an excuse to attack the communities themselves. Likewise for the Zapatista supporters, it is a way of saying--these people are not linked to us so do not persecute them because of their relationship to us. (There is history of Zapatista supporters facing government repression, people close to the Zapatistas being arrested, etc.) Many NGO?s at first were saying that the red alert was a defensive response to a lot of movement of the Mexican military in recent weeks. I think this analysis is mistaken (and tends to see the Zapatistas only as victims of human rights violations as opposed to actors in creating history). I don?t think that the red alert was a defensive move or that the EZLN feared a government attack. I think it was part of their own

[LAAMN] Fwd: [SCFs] WHO OWNS THE FARM? by Lila Garrett
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 14:03:08 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SCFs] WHO OWNS THE FARM? by Lila Garrett WHO OWNS THE FARM? by Lila Garrett In Los Angeles, the 16 million dollar question is who owns the 14 acres in South Central Los Angeles, affectionately referred to as The Farm. Is it the City? Is it developer Ralph Horowitz? He certainly thinks so and before the courts had a chance to disagree he had a bulldozer come in last week and level a big patch of edible green into a mud hole. It was heart stopping. Aside from the legal issues, there are gnawing questions like, do you rip 350 people from their land which feeds their families, beautifies the area and provides blocks of clean air in the middle of industrial pollution? Someone paid for the land, true. But other people gave it life. So the question is, to whom does that land really belong? We found that question so compelling, six of us formed a committee and went to see Mr. Horowitz to ask him to reconsider. Our purpose had to do specifically with the spate of anti Semitism he said he had suffered from the Farmers. The farmers denied that any anti-Semetic remarks were made by any of their people. In fact they felt so bad about it they sent him a basket of fruits, vegetables and flowers as an apology for a crime they did not commit. Our committees first concern however was that this accusation of anti-Semitism, which was rumored by Horowitz himself, could have a ripple affect which would be bad not only for the Jews, but for the city. Any group can grab onto a hate movement, and use it as an organizing tool for its own agenda. It may have nothing to do with the original issue which is invariably forgotten. Nothing works to as an organizing tool like prejudice. Milosovich used to with the Serbs against the Croats. Hitler used it against the Jews. The Hutus used it against the Tutsies. You know how that goes. We sat down in Mr Horowitz comfortable office and introduced ourselves. Our all Jewish committee of six was clearly progressive, so Horowitz, also quickly identified himself as a conservative. He spoke bitterly about the farmers, although when pressed he could not come up with who called him an anti-Semitic name. When we asked if he had accepted the farmers apology he nodded, I thought reluctantly, but then added he wouldnt sell them the land if they gave him a hundred million dollars. His bitterness was palpable. And we couldnt really figure out the root cause of it until he suddenly burst out: These immigrants, they come over here, they think they own the place And behold, immigrant bashing filled the room and we spent an uneasy hour being regaled with it. In the end of our attempt to stem the tide of violence and anger in our community, we realized that our meeting with Mr. Horowitz had fallen on deaf ears. He proudly announced that he was a hero to his conservative friends. When we asked if he was concerned about the ripple effect of his accusations of anti-Semitism, he said No. As long as he was true to himself, thats what mattered. Then he referred us to Councilwoman Jan Perry, and we suddenly got the impression that shes the one whos really running this show. Horowitz is the man in the middle. Show me the money is all he really needed to say and we all could have saved a lot of time. Our little committee did contact Councilwoman Jan Perry, who agreed to have a meeting with us. Her agenda promises to be a lot more interesting. In the meantime, it felt good, as a person with no particular portfolio to help avoid violence in our city. It felt good not to leave it to the other guy. It felt good to decide to be on the side of the farmers, not just for their talent, courage and perseverance, but for their lack of violence. Yesterday was their first day in court. If they prevail the land will revert to the city and theyll have a chance to restore their gardens. Maybe. Wherever it goes Ive decided to go with it. I like people who hang tough for a good cause. I like to be one of those people. They may have leveled the land, but the farmers are still standing. Tall. Its not over till its over.

[LAAMN] Oaxacan Women take over TV station - from L.A.Indymedia post
500 Women Take Over TV Station in Bloodless Coup Against State/Corporate Media by reposted Monday, Aug. 07, 2006 at 12:41 PM author: The women of Oaxaca Rock! This is just too good a story not to share. Obviously, the corporate media here has not been interested in telling this tale, as it could give people ...ideas. This story, from Narco News, shares the inspiring story of women who took matters into their own hands when their government oppressed them and the corporate media refused to tell the tale. Banging on pots and pans, they took over Channel 9, ousted the staff, occupied the station themselves, and began broadcasting, for the first time, the TRUTH. Oaxaca's State TV Station Under Popular Control Women March to the Zocalo Against Governor and Take Over Channel 9 Studios By Nancy Davies Commentary from Oaxaca August 2, 2006 This report appears on the internet at http://www.narconews.com/Issue42/article1990.html OAXACA CITY, August 1, 2006: In the style of the marcha de las caserolas (cooking-pot march) made famous in Argentina, the women of Oaxaca took to the streets with their pots, frying pans and spoons to beat out the call Ruiz fuera!: Governor Ruiz out! Women March through the Oaxaca zocalo August 1 Photo: D.R. 2006 Nancy Davies On Tuesday morning about 2,000 women gathered at the Plaza of the Seven Regions and marched toward the zocalo, a distance of five miles. Along the route they were greeted by cheering onlookers who handed them water and waved signs in support of the social movement that has set as its first and foremost goal the removal from office of Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz (URO). The women tapped out the rhythm of ya cayó (he's already fallen) and used pan covers as cymbals. Many carried wooden spoons and drummed on their frying pans. When they gathered in the zocalo the drumming sound was like a tropical downpour - rain on a tin roof. Then the bells of the ex-government building, made over as a museum by URO, began to ring. The movement has attached ropes from the bell towers to the pavilion in the center of the zocalo, and over the sound of the tapping of thousands of spoons on pots, the bells peeled out. No tropical rain: the sun at mid-day glared, and many women, some of whom carried children, also carried sun-umbrellas. The females present ranged in age from babes in arms to tough old grannies. As many women wore the traditional aprons -a trademark of street and market vendors in Oaxaca- as wore jeans. Before the march dispersed at 12:30, somebody announced from the pavilion, Women are going to Channel 9. The location of the state television facilities is a bus-ride outside the downtown area, across from the Alvaro Carillo Theater. Women have played a strong part from the beginning of the movement, as they comprise half of the teachers' union and/or are mothers of students affected. As parents they have expressed rage against lack of decent schools and classrooms, and most recently against paying enrollment fees for public schools. Free education is guaranteed by the Mexican Constitution. Fees to register, as well as purchase of uniforms and books, appear to have fronted yet another method of state theft. About 350 women marched into the state TV Channel 9 facilities at approximately 1:30 p.m. Nobody stopped them. Perhaps a thousand women and children more stood on watch outside the building. At 3:30 the channel went off the air. Within an hour, the women telephoned Radio Universidad, the radio station at the Benito Juárez Autonomous University of Oaxaca (UABJO), to say they had two radio stations working from the site, one AM and one FM, but no television. They reported that there had been no opposition, no struggle, and nobody was hurt. They asked the listeners for back-up - guards, food, water, and people who know how to operate television cameras. By early evening some of the occupying force of women had returned to speak in person on Radio Universidad, while most remained at the television station. We are not afraid, the spokeswoman said. Whatever happens, happens. We are fed up with this situation. We are fighting for our children. We women cannot stay home. On the previous day, Monday July 31, the government sponsored a second Guelaguetza tourist event organized by the state's Department of Culture in the newly paved Llano Park, another renovated piece of cultural patrimony. Although Radio Universidad - yesterday the only source of public communication for the social movement - had suggested that people let it go, stay away and not provoke trouble, the students (I'm guessing by the youthful voices) rushed right down to Llano where the event was starting, screaming ya cayó! However, they stationed themselves at the opposite side of the park from the event. According reporting in the local newspaper Las Noticias, a near-confrontation was provoked when one youth climbed the park's

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding a an article on the situation in Mexico, which is edging toward the precipice... of what, remains to be seen, but the pressure is building. I was in Mexico City for a couple of weeks in August, and experienced the amazing energy involved in the huge sit-in going on in the heart of the city in opposition to the electoral fraud being perpetrated there. I have to add that this feeling of outrage over the fraud is not limited to Mexico City. Just yesterday I read a e-mail about how Calderon, the supposed President-Elect, was driven off the stage at a speaking event in Morelia, Michoacan by a hail of eggs and tomatoes! The situation in Oaxaca is even more intense, yet as in the case of Chiapas, home of the Zapatista uprising, the Mexican government keeps saying Nothing is going on. My own impression is that the ruling class is just trying to ride out the storm, and keep their hold on power and privilege. They assume, no doubt, that as long as they have the support of the U.S. government, they don't need the support of their own citizens. It must be an adaptation the political system here in the U.S., where as long as politicians have the support of big money, they don't need the support of the people. This message is from the People's Global Action list serve, and has a few grammatical errors, but considering that it was written by a German, I'd say it was pretty darn good! (Thanks, Momo!) Mario Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2006 From: Momo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [globalaction] Rebellion in Oaxaca and Mexico! Hi all, Olivier mentioned the case of Mexico and Oaxaca and the situation here. I told him i am right here in Oaxaca and he asked me to write something about it. waht is happening here is realling amazing. I was about to fly back to Europe yesterday, but i changed my flight since i just cannot leave in this situation. Anyway, this is a summary of wha is happening here, how the movement evolved and where it might go... saludos, Momo I´m now since three weeks in Oaxaca, the beautiful capital of the state Oaxaca in the south of Mexico, which is in these days full of the sounds and smells of rebellion. What began as a strike of teachers that were struggling for better the payments and improvements for the kids like school breakfast, turned into a popular rebellion after the government tried to evict a Planton (a camp of the teachers on the Zocalo, the central place of the city) violently on the 14th of June. Although for us who survived Genova it might seem not even that hard, but for the people, who had already suffered a lot under the governor Ulises Ruiz in the almost two years since his election (which many suspect was by fraud), that was simply too much, the point that made them say Ya basta!. Instead of killing the movement by repression, as intended by Ulises, he reached a huge wave of solidarity of all parts of society, from indigenous communities to parts of the church, and a united call for his destitution. In this process the APO, or today APPO (Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca) was born, which is an organization, a movement and an assembly at the same time, that unites now more than 300 organizations and local assemblies of villages and quarters. There the delegates of the member organizations meet several times a week to discuss from practical problems to actions and strategies to the future of the city and the movement. Their first aim is the destitution of Ulises, but most people know that the problems are far beyond Ulises and that profound changes are needed. And that process is already on the way: There are discussions going on about a new constitutional process and a new for of government. People and sectors of society that never had to do with each other are meeting to discuss in the assembly or in one of the many Plantones that are all over the city, or at night on the barricades (there are 1500 of them in the city of Oaxaca!!!). At night you see housewives and old men and women standing on the burning barricades with a stick in their hand, ready to defend themselves and the movement. And that is very necessary: just in the last weeks two people got shot down and died, on in a march and one on a barricade, when the police tried to evict a radio station occupied by the movement. But normally there is no police at all on the streets, since one part of them is anyway on the side of the movement and the other part is simply afraid because of the strength of the movement. And they are strong: On the marches of the APPO up to 800.000 people joined, which is almost one forth of the population of the whole state of Oaxaca, (and 140% of the number of

He was shot in the torso while documenting an armed, paramilitary assault on the Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca, a fusion of striking local teachers and other community organizations demanding democracy in Mexico. The members of the New York City Independent Media Center mourn the loss of this inspiring colleague and friend. We want to thank everyone who has sent condolences to our office and posted remembrances to www.nyc.indymedia.org. We share our grief with the people of our city and beyond who lived, worked, and struggled with Brad over the course of his dynamic but short life. We can only imagine the pain of the people of Oaxaca who have lost seven of their neighbors to this fight, including Emilio Alonso Fabian, a teacher, and who now face an invasion by federal troops. All we want in compensation for his death is the only thing Brad ever wanted to see in this world: justice. * We, along with all of Brad's friends, reject the use of further state-sponsored violence in Oaxaca. * The New York City Independent Media Center supports the demand of Reporters Without Borders for a full and complete investigation by Mexican authorities into Oaxaca State Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz's continued use of plain-clothed municipal police as a political paramilitary force. The arrest of his assailants is not enough. * The NYC IMC also supports the call of Zapatista Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos to compañeros and compañeras in other countries to unite and to demand justice for this dead compañero. Marcos issued this call especially to all of the alternative media, and free media here in Mexico and in all the world. Indymedia was born from the Zapatista vision of a global network of alternative communication against neoliberalism and for humanity. To believe in Indymedia is to believe that journalism is either in the service of justice or it is a cause of injustice. We speak and listen, resist and struggle. In that spirit, Brad Will was both a journalist and a human rights activist. He was a part of this movement of independent journalists who go where the corporate media do not or stay long after they are gone. Perhaps Brad's death would have been prevented if Mexican, international, and US media corporations had told the story of the Oaxacan people. Then those of us who live in comfort would not only be learning now about this 5 month old strike, or about this 500 year old struggle. And then Brad might not have felt the need to face down those assassins in Oaxaca holding merely the ineffective shields of his US passport and prensa extranjera badge. Then Brad would not have joined the fast-growing list of journalists killed in action, or the much longer list of those killed in recent years by troops defending entrenched, unjust power in Latin America. Still, those of us who knew Brad know that his work would never have been completed. From the community gardens of the Lower East Side to the Movimento Sem Terra encampments of Brazil, he would have continued to travel to where the people who make this world a beautiful place are resisting those who would cause it further death and destruction. Now, in his memory, we will all travel those roads. We are
[LAAMN] Video, Oaxaca- A Victory in The Streets- 11/2/06
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf6H_sxCx3k (Lo que sigue es una explanación para la gente de habla inglés, para ayudarles a entender de lo que se trata el video. Si alguin no está de acuerdo con lo que he escrito aquí, le pido el favor de informarme de mis errores. Gracias, Anna) This video is of the events in Oaxaca on Nov.2 in front of the university of Oaxaca when the federal police tried to break in and destroy the radio station, the people's main communication tool to each other, and to the outside world. The whole town came out to defend and fight back and they won a great victory. -The voice in the beginning is the voice of radio Oaxaca calling for citizens to come out and form barricades around the university to protect the radio station. We cannot allow this important voice to be lost.'' - Then you see the people responding; creating barricades. -You will see a man and a woman scolding the federal police, and appealing to them as fellow Mexicans with families; reminding them that they are no different than the people in the streets that they are attacking. - The doctors making a statement; saying that some of the news media has been framing the movement in Oaxaca as being made up of gang members and criminals; (This framed by shots of the townspeople standing hand in hand to form barricades) but, they say, we are doctors; profesionals who are defending our city and helping the people. Holding up his stethoscope, he says, These are our weapons. With these weapons we fight and help our people and our compañeros. - Then you see a member of the police saying that they have no intention of attacking the university or of arresting anyone. The lie to this is evident in the next shot where helicopters are shown dropping tear gas into the university. - Then you see a couragous people; a people fighting together for a just cause, and in the end, winning. I watch this with tears...and only hope that I would find the courage to be like these people in the same situation. On the right of the screen is a list of more videos that you can watch just by clicking on the links. One of them is the video that came out of Indymedia reporter Brad Will's camera after he was shot dead in the streets of Oaxaca last week. I hope that this little recap helps all my English speaking compañeras and compañeros to understand the importance of this battle. This is the type of thing that people in Latin America have been dealing with for hundreds of years. Our government doesn't want us to know that this is what has been going on in our name, but now, with modern technology it is no longer hidden from us. Our tax money is paying for this, and in the cases of the worst brutality and torture, the perpetrators are trained here in Fort Benning, Georgia at the School of The Americas. My friend Hector Aristizabal, a torture victim from Columbia, said that with knowledge comes griefand yes, my tears have surprised me. But let's let our grief and our compassion work for us to give us the strength to make change. Let's support our sisters and brothers in their efforts to create justice in their countries. In doing so we will create a just world; one in which as Subcomandante Marcos says, Un mundo donde quepan todos. (A world where we all have a place.) Please watch this video and pass it on.

[LAAMN] COMMUNITY GROUPS CONFRONT LAPD AND CHIEF BRATTON ABOUT MAY DAY POLICE RIOT
So the community came to the meeting at Parker Center and asked why did this happen? And who gave the order? .questions still not answered by the police, although scapegoats have been chosen by Chief Bratton, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum say some, and demotions have already been announced. But this isnt enough says the community, more is needed. Some of the demands being made are: - For Full Accountability of the LAPD and their actions against the communities. o A list of all officers present should be made public - That all LAPD officers should have full identification on their person at all times, as mandated by California Penal Code 830-10. - For an elected civilian Police Review Board composed of a diverse group of community members that has the power to hire and fire, and the power to subpoena and indict police officers who commit crimes. - For a Public Apology from LAPD Chief Bratton and from whatever commanding officers (still not known) who gave the order to attack. (So far the chief has apologized to the TV reporters, but not to the public.) - For an end of all special-forces presence from community or political demonstrations or actions in the future. Only traffic and parking personnel should be necessary to facilitate traffic. - That all charges made against anyone arrested that day should be dropped - For full transparency during the investigation process Additionally, Shouts of Stop the Raids!, Stop the Deportations! were heard, along with quite a few Power to the People!. Others demanded that Chief Brattons contract to serve in Los Angeles not be renewed. There is a strong feeling that he is responsible for setting much of the attitudes that allowed this to happen as evidenced by the recent round ups of homeless people on Skid Row. The presence of the Minutemen have to be mentioned, as their comments of you Mexicans and Illegal Aliens need to go back to your own countries showed a highly developed and almost hysterical level of impenetrable ignorance. It was almost laughable watching them praise the LAPD and characterize the May 1st events as an attack on the police, when it was so clear that wasnt what happened. . When the Minuteman founder and leader Jim Gilchrist got up and admonished Bratton for demoting two high level police officers, even the cops in attendance looked uncomfortable as if they understood that they were being lauded by NAZIS and didnt really want to be identified with them.

Anonymous Counterintelligence Officer, 12/30/02. Meet the face behind the operation in an engaging one-person show based on the real life character of a U.S counterintelligence officer. Colombian psychologist and actor Hector Aristizábal grapples with the persona of a U.S. counterintelligence officer. Aristizabal takes us on a journey through the mind of an interrogator who believes that his work is informed by cultural sensitivity and knowledge. In this theatrical encounter we get to sip tea with the interrogator and participate in the stories he tells. We become terrorists, and potential interrogators. This highly provocative play is inspired by real extensive correspondence between the interrogator himself and social scientist, Jean Maria Arrigo. The officer this play is based on, was trained as both an anthropologist and a police explosives expert, and served as a liaison to counter terrorist police teams in the Middle East. The officer reflects on scenes of violent Middle Eastern interrogation of supposed terrorists and on his own experiences with less violent methods. He sizes up the terrorist threat, the prospects of detainees, the needs of his subordinates, the failings of his superiors, and the foibles of meddling human rights activists. A survivor of state-sponsored torture himself (Colombia, 1982), Hector becomes his nemesis, the torturer, in frank investigation of Carl Jung's dictum, The healthy man does not torture othersgenerally it is the tortured who turn into torturers. The script was created by Hector Aristizabal and Vivien Sansour from Correspondence between a U.S. Counterintelligence Liaison Officer Jean Maria Arrigo,2002-2006, Project on Ethics and Art in Testimony; additional copy archived in the Intelligence Ethics Collection, Hoover Institution Archives, Stanford University.

[LAAMN] Fwd: Re: Fw: Invitation for December 1st event
-Forwarded Message- From: Nicole M. Gatto Sent: Nov 20, 2007 12:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Invitation for December 1st event Dear Friends Attached is information about an upcoming event that I am helping organize with a group whose cause I am very much behind. I realize that its short notice as it is starting to be the season for company holiday parties, which have a way of taking over available Saturday nights in December. I also realize that the requested donation of $100 for the dinner may be a bit much during the holidays. OK, so what can I tell you that would gently persuade you to seriously consider attending and or passing the invitation along to friends who would perhaps themselves be interested? This event is a benefit for Emergency, a non-political/non-partisan humanitarian organization whose mission is to provide (free) healthcare and access to medical facilities to individuals who are victims of war (a.k.a. the real faces of collateral damage). Emergency was founded in the early 1990's by an Italian physician originally to address the devastation caused to individuals by land mines remaining after conflicts. Today we have medical facilities and personnel in a number of countries around the world. The organization is comprised almost entirely of volunteers and maintains an extremely low overhead (thus the need for fundraising). The event will be intimate and held at the home of one of our members who happens to have an amazing art collection. Dinner will be catered by a chef friend of mine - the food on the planned menu will be exquisitely delicious. There will be entertainment (a tabla musician), a silent auction and beautiful handmade Afghan crafts on display and for sale. Undoubtedly there will be interesting, stimulating conversation. I almost forgot to mention that your contribution is tax-deductible. More details can be found below and in the attached flyer... I would be happy to speak with you more about the group or answer any additional questions about the event. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration, and by all means, please pass the word along to anyone you think might be interested. With extreme respect and gratitude, Nicole 323-244-6039 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Los Angeles Chapter of Emergency, USA would like to invite you to an Evening of Afghan Culture, on Saturday December First, to benefit EMERGENCY: Life Support For Civilian War Victims. At a private home located in the Westwood-UCLA area of Los Angeles, there will be live music, beautiful handicrafts, authentic Afghan and Mediterranean cuisine, and a silent auction--and the fulfillment of knowing that proceeds from this event help make possible the courageous lifesaving work of the EMERGENCY medical teams around the world. Please view the attached invitation for more details and instructions for your RSVP and Donation In Advance, $100 per Guest. A Little Bit About EMERGENCY: Many of us realize that war, landmines, and the social consequences of war take a terrible toll on unarmed men, women and children worldwide.

I hope Brian’s story can inspire a new generation of activists to fight with all they have for peace, justice, our planet and humanity.” — Cindy Sheehan (Gold Star Mother, Peace Activist) _ “In a world filled with violence, oppression, the madness of war, and the destruction of the environment, many are searching for hope—and those individuals who give us hope. “This is where Brian Willson comes in. Like many of us, he bought into the lies of war and violence. But something happened along his journey, and Viet Nam was only the beginning. He discovered the truth and he followed it, no matter the cost. I encourage you to read this book about a great peacemaker and a great lover of mother earth. You will be filled with hope.” — Roy Bourgeois (Maryknoll Catholic priest, founder SOA Watch) _ “Brian Willson is one of a few modern men for all seasons. His memoir is an introduction to a way of living that could save a planet

[LAAMN] LA INdyMedia Film Night
PASS IT ON. In the spirit of furthering understanding and communication within and between our many communities LA Indymedia brings Film-Night back with the film “Precious Knowledge”. “Precious Knowledge” is an important documentary that exposes the blatant racism that the State Superintendent of Education in Arizona recently displayed in cutting out the successful ethnic-studies program at Tucson High School. The film follows the lives of four students and several teachers as they fight to save their classes and the program that became an educational lifeline for them. The disenfranchised high school seniors became academic warriors and community leaders in the face of losing a successful program that has become a national model of success. In a climate where the national average of Mexican-American drop-outs is 45 percent, 100 percent of the students enrolled in the Tucson High ethnic studies classes graduated from high school and 85 percent of them went on to college. The filmmakers spent an entire year in the classroom filming this innovative social-justice curriculum, documenting the transformative impact on students who become engaged, informed, and active in their communities. This story is important to all of us; as Americans and as Angelinos. In our city Ron Gochez, a high school social studies teacher and important activist, currently running for city council, was recently fired for teaching ethnic-studies courses in his South LA classroom. Come join LA Indymedia, in conjunction with the Gateway-Portal in West LA for our screening of the film with a discussion afterward. Film Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ExJ2gly0m4: We will pass the hat ...but of course everyone is welcome.
