A U.S.-funded biopiracy project in Chiapas has been 'definitively terminated'. Popular resistance by indigenous communities, supported by international criticism, led to its cancellation when ECOSUR, the School of the Southern Frontier, discontinued its collaboration with the University of Georgia team of anthropologists. The announcement, 1.) in Spanish, is first, followed by 2.) my translation into English. |

Americans generally think of Pearl Harbor when they hear December 7. They remember it as a "Day of Infamy". Now there is another infamous occasion connected with December 7. In 1975, Henry Kissinger, a war criminal who served at the time as the U.S. National Security Adviser, gave the Indonesian government the signal that the U.S. would approve of the planned illegal invasion of East Timor by Indonesia, as long as the invasion was delayed until the day after he and President Ford departed from their stopover in Jakarta, December 7.

'Helicopter assault' startles East St. Louis |

Although this story comes from the selfservingly paranoid right-wing press, it is interesting that the dominant media has said nothing about this "raid". Along with the long history of dumping pollution into areas like the largely black and working class city of East St. Louis, these areas are often the focus of new militarized police state tactics such as SWAT and secret police task forces. Landing Army Special Forces for "practice" in such an area, combined with the recent presidential electoral farce, should raise eyebrows among the many Americans who view the ongoing war on terrorism as an excuse for an elite power grab. The future of democracy is far more under attack from within, than from any terrorist threat. ML |
