Campesinos Attack the Mexican Congress
by Hector Carreon
La Voz de Aztlan
Tenochtitlan - December 11, 2002 - (ACN) Rivaling the crisis in Venezuela
and Argentina, thousands of well organized campesinos (agricultural
workers) stormed and broke into the Mexican Congress yesterday forcing many
of the congressmen to run for their lives and attempt to climb over the
security fence surrounding the Palacio Legislativo de San Lazaro. The
campesinos are in extreme desperation because of the worsening conditions
in the agricultural sectors of Mexico and the lack of forthcoming solutions
by the legislature.
Hundreds of the campesinos were able to penetrate into the congressional
building after first parking 6 tractors in the front entrance to the
building, spreading smelly manure and throwing rotten vegetables against
the walls. The group was accompanied by 4 pigs, two that had the names of
President Vicente Fox and of Secretary of Foreign Relations Jorge C.
Gutman. The campesinos were led by 14 "jinetes" (horseriders) carrying
Mexican flags.
Four of the horseriders along with scores of the campesinos broke the glass
facade, entered the building and headed towards the auditorium where
congress was in session. Despite promptings by the President of the Mexican
Congress, Beatriz Paredes Rangel, to the legislators to remain calm, many
panicked and ran to the back of the building where they desperately tried
to climb over the fence.
A spokesperson of the campesinos said "Esto fue s�lo una probadita" which
translates into "This was just a little taste." A leader of the campesinos
said that the problems in the farms are now more profound than an ordinary
crisis. One yelled loudly, "�ya estamos cansados de esperar soluciones que
no llegan!" ("we are tired of waiting for solutions that never come!")
After the storming of the Mexican Congress, the campesinos, last night,
divided themselves into groups and headed to form encampments in front of
the headquarters of the Bancomer, Banamex, Banorte and Fovi banks.
Mexico could be headed for another full blown armed revolution. If it was
not for immigration to the U.S. of many Mexican workers, the pressure on
the economic and political system of Mexico, would have long ago caused a
national explosion. Mexican workers in the US are now sending over 12
billion dollars a year of their wages to their families in Mexico.
Many Mexican analysts blame this situation on the economic globalization
policies of the USA and its support by the Fox Administration. Also, many
analysts point to the immense external debt that Mexico owes to the
international money lenders.
Argentina is now totally bankrupt because of its 30 billion external debt.
The country can not even pay the yearly interest payments and the death of
children of hunger is becoming more common. There are rumors in Mexico of
an impending mass devaluation of the peso. This could be the spark for
another Mexican revolution that would make the one in 1917 look like a
Sunday picnic. Mexicans are not like the Argentines.
The storming and temporary taker over of the Mexican Congress yesterday by
"los campesinos" is proof of this.

Well if shit starts to go down, we should do everything we can to help it
spread across the border into places like San Diego and LA. We may finally
get our chance, so let's be ready.

No I was thinking more like establishing contacts with Mexican anarchists
and those that are involved in these organizations. We can then keep
updated on their situations, publicize it for them in our own areas. This
would be more relevant to folks in the South West, like PAC and SKAA (if
that still exists). I know there have been efforts to link up anarchists
south of the border with anarchists in the USA. If any kind of revolt
breaks out, it would behoove us to help it spread and then take part in it
ourselves if it came our way.

i agree with kame504. in my opinion, too many anarchists are busy imagining
the impending revolution, and not thinking about actual revolutions that
are moving closer and closer to home. the government will not be overthrown
by itself. i, for one, would consider traveling to mexico. it seems that
hell of a lot more than fundraising and propaganda is getting done in the
radical world there.

"Mexicans are not like the Argentines."
What does this mean?

I live in Mexico City...Yes, it�s true. But the article�s assertion that
another Mexican revolution is in the making is exaggerated. That�s just
wishful thinking. And the Mexican Revolution took place in 1910: it was the
Russian Revolution that place in 1917.

Chuck, you just wrote a piece on the machinations of nazis on Indymedia. La
Voz de Aztlan has printed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion on their
website. They are bad news. They are, to use some of your local anarchist
parlance, "Third Positionists." They're just not white.
Word the wise: Read their site and then remove this post.

after that, please remove all this crap from the other fascists, like
burningman and Chris Day. waving a red flag doesn't make them any less
fascists.

Where are my comments? I am an anarchist who had a 25 K bounty for arrest
put on him from this Hector Carrion.
I posted two articles from the La Voz,ratz nest,one indicating their racist
nazi ant-semitism and the other their vicious incitements of anti-gay
violence.WTF is going on we need marxist's to tell us!

If chuck is really behind posting this article and slotting my brief
restrained comment and pointer URLs then I am seriously worried about him.
I have had only a couple of minor disagreements with him over a year and a
half.One was over Chompskies statism (here)and the other was over the
Chandra Levy saturation coverage (at Indy.) This latter point is now
assuming a new and far darker significance.The question now must be
asked,and I cant believe it,"Is chucko an anti-semite? He has been asked
for a simple link to be placed to a reputable anti-pschiatric site also and
how hard can that be? The nazi's borrowed eugenics off the Swedes and ran
with it all the way.Et Tu ChuckO?
Say it aint so.

punishing america.

pr,short for profrv@etc-My first censored comment began...
By all means establish contacts with mexican anarchists,just watch out for
the mexican nazi's. Then I briefly described my brush with this mob last
year,the upshot that can be seen here...

At the time la voz were posting extreme anti gay and such virulent
anti-semitism at Indy,Paul and I called them on it.In my next unsigned
comment I supplied two URLs to articles at the La Voz site.

I think we are in danger of losing the lesbians against SUVs and I just
looked for the 'SCOOP' section,its has been moved or disapeared. My antenna
is twitching now because I read,'face off' type surgery is now possible.
Has ChuckO been taken over by Bill White? Does anyone know his blood type
or have a DNA sample? Is this libertarian socialism or National socialism?
And is this the night of the long knives?
