-Caveat Lector- The silence in our press is truly deafening. I have searched most of the mainstream press--no coverage at all. AKE From: "Al Giordano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2000 2:01 PM Subject: [narconews] Bolivia Mass Revolt vs. US Drug War Explodes Today's Press Briefing October 1, 2000 Mass Bolivian Revolt Against US-Imposed Drug War Regime Shoots at Civilians: Banzer Could Fall at any Hour US Media's Silence: Deafening International Communiqué from Narco News http://www.narconews.com/pressbriefing.html PRIMERO: The events in Bolivia, as we report today, become more grave by the hour. At blame is the US-imposed war on drugs and the refusal of the regime of Hugo Banzer to deviate from US policy of total eradication of the coca crop, including for non-harmful chewing of coca leaf by Bolivian indigenous and popular sectors. SEGUNDO: The US-backed Banzer regime has taken to violence against civilians to try to quell the protests that have paralyzed this nation for two weeks. TERCERO: The mass protests only grow stronger and the Banzer regime, if it does not back off its hardline, could fall within weeks, days, even hours. CUARTO: The Narco News Bulletin condemns the near-total blackout of news from Bolivia by English-language press agencies. The only wire service to cover yesterday's shooting of civilians by Bolivian military troops was Reuters, for which we congratulate the agency and hope to see more coverage. Associated Press, on the other hand, is keeping its newspapers and readers in the dark, and in a just world AP would fall with the Banzer regime. QUINTO: The Narco News Bulletin hereby names the journalists and photographers of the daily newspaper Los Tiempos of Cochabamba, Bolivia as Heroes of the Month for September, 2000. If a fraction of the United States media were as conscious, courageous and independent as this major daily, there would not be a hypocritical drug war. Today, we translate more of their reports. http://www.narconews.com/pressbriefing.html salud y abrazo, Al Giordano Publisher The Narco News Bulletin http://www.narconews.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
