In Ontario, Canada, an indigenous community called the Grassy Narrows First Nation are being subjected to human rights abuses. Logging companies, Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi are clear-cut logging their land without the community’s consent. This exploitation is poisoning their waters with toxins, robbing the community of economic opportunities, and destroying their way of life.

America's Blinders |

Our culture demands, in its very language, that we accept a commonality of interest binding all of us to one another. We mustn’t talk about classes. Only Marxists do that, although James Madison, “Father of the Constitution,” said, thirty years before Marx was born that there was an inevitable conflict in society between those who had property and those who did not.
Our present leaders are not so candid. They bombard us with phrases like “national interest,” “national security,” and “national defense” as if all of these concepts applied equally to all of us, colored or white, rich or poor, as if General Motors and Halliburton have the same interests as the rest of us, as if George Bush has the same interest as the young man or woman he sends to war.
Surely, in the history of lies told to the population, this is the biggest lie. In the history of secrets, withheld from the American people, this is the biggest secret: that there are classes with different interests in this country. To ignore that—not to know that the history of our country is a history of slaveowner against slave, landlord against tenant, corporation against worker, rich against poor—is to render us helpless before all the lesser lies told to us by people in power. |

As it is an age of electronic banking. So these clever & over intelligent internet thugs are trying to break in the ultra modern banking system. Sometimes we hear the news that the amount from the bank account of a person vanished without any withdrawal by him. It is better to delete such greed arousing letters & E-Mails & not to waste time by reading these baseless, false & non-sense & bentrovat E-Mails. These contra bonos mores letters should not be replied even. |

This is our way of learning from Cindy Sheehan in Texas. It picture shows placed shoes tagged with the names of killed Iraqi civilians on the Congressman's doorstep.
