[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
[LAAMN] Awakenings: Voters Ready to Dump Incumbents, Israel's Military Invincibility Dented
Hi. There are many ways to connect these reports, but the most intriguing one, to me, is the way critical numbers of people become aware and even mobilized despite all the agencies which control public education, perception and opinion. Lieberman's loss can provide that essential spark of possibility and courage needed for a mass movement against the wars and evolving police state of the Bush administration. And the same goes for the overwhelming majority of people in the Middle East, awakened by Israel's horrific destruction of an entire nation, and the indefagitable resistance and success of a relatively small but focussed guerilla force. Most are governed by tiny, ruthless gangs long in thrall to imperialist interests and the power of the U.S. Of course there are huge differences and possibilities and the powers that be in both areas will do their best to coopt or directly destroy the movements, but critical awakenings have begun here and there, truisms and limits will be jumped, and can shake the world. It doesn't happen too often, so be aware. Life has changed. Ed http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0808-05.htm Published on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 by Reuters Voters Ready to Dump Incumbents in Congress: Poll by Alison Langley American voters are as ready to dump incumbent lawmakers as they were just before they handed control of Congress to Republicans in 1994, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Monday. Republicans, who control both houses of Congress, stand to lose the most in the November elections because of strong anti-incumbent sentiment and they trail Democrats in support among registered voters, the poll showed. Fifty-three percent of those surveyed called themselves anti-incumbent -- nearly the same as the 54 percent who identified themselves as such in the summer of 1994 when Congress was still under the Democrats' control. While the percentage of anti-incumbent Republicans was lower in the poll than the percentage of anti-incumbent Democrats in 1994 (33 percent versus 46 percent), the share of anti-incumbent independents rose to 61 percent from 57 percent in 1994. The telephone poll, which has a 3 percentage point margin of error, was taken between August 3 and August 6 among 1,002 adults. Among registered voters, 52 percent said they would support the Democrat in their congressional district if the election were held today. Only 39 percent said they would vote for the Republican, the poll showed. Republicans are being hurt by Americans' anti-war sentiment, the poll showed. Thirty-eight percent of those polled said they would be more likely to oppose a candidate who supports President George W. Bush's Iraq policy, compared with only 23 percent who would back such a candidate. But the poll also showed that Democrats have yet to win over Americans, who remain evenly split on whether the party offers the country a clear direction that differs from that offered by Republicans.

The 1967 war -- called the Six Day War -- was so swift it ended in less than a week, with Egypt losing 264 aircraft and 700 battle tanks; Jordan 22 aircraft and 125 tanks, and Syria 58 aircraft and 105 tanks. The only equipment losses suffered by Israel in the 1967 war were 40 aircraft and 100 battle tanks, according to Dilip Hiro, a Middle East analyst based in London. The war ended with Israel capturing East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jenin, Nablus, the Golan Heights and Sharm al-Shaikh -- some of which are still under occupation despite U.N. Security Council resolutions seeking Israeli withdrawal. But as the relentless military attacks against Hezbollah and Lebanon continue into the second month, the duration of the current conflict and the resistance by the Islamic militia have dented Israel's reputation of military invincibility in the Middle East. Hezbollah has succeeded in preventing Israel from achieving any of its strategic objectives, and most of its tactical objectives as well, says Mouin Rabbani, contributing editor to the Washington-based Middle East Report. Arguably, Israel is fighting the war Hezbollah prepared for, rather than the war Israel intended to conduct, Rabbani told IPS. He believes that Israel's strategy was to
[LAAMN] Fd: Insist on a Fair Trial for Annette Auguste and Her Co-Defendants
Please distribute widely: August 8, 2006 Half-Hour for Haiti: Insist on a Fair Trial for Annette Auguste and Her Co-Defendants Update: Some good news in the case of Annette Auguste and the five other defendants charged in connection with the December 2003 events at the State University: their case has been set for trial. In our July 18 alert we urged President Préval to ensure that the their case is heard during the current criminal court sessions, and we just found out that the trial is scheduled for Monday, August 14. Thank you to everyone who wrote about this case to President Préval last month, and to Minister of Justice Magloire for our June 20 alert. Haiti Debt Relief Bill in the U.S.: we do not know how many more co-sponsors are on board, because Congress is out of session. But please take advantage of your Representatives presence in your district throughout August to urge her or him to co-sponsor the Haiti Debt Relief Bill, H.Res. 888. At the request of grassroots groups planning to attend community meetings with their Representatives, we have put together an information packet for the Congressperson and a one-page summary for other attendees. Let us know if you would like a copy. Upcoming Events: The Solidarity Encounter with the Haitian People organized by the September 30 Foundation will take place in Haiti from August 20-26. This is an excellent opportunity for people who care about Haiti to connect with Haitian grassroots groups struggling for justice. This weeks action: Please write to Haitian Minister of Justice René Magloire. Thank him for helping the December 5 case go to trial, and urge him to ensure that the trial is a fair one. There will be a lot of pressure on the Haitian government to keep the defendants in jail at any cost, so it is vital that the Minister hears that there is international support for respecting the rights of Annette Auguste and her co-defendants. A sample letter is below, feel free to customize it. Letters must arrive by the end of the day on Thursday, August 10, so please send them to us by fax: (206) 350-7986 (a U.S. number) or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we will ensure that they are delivered promptly. __ Me. René Magloire Ministre de la Justice et de la Sécurité Publique Ministère de la Justice 18 Avenue Charles Sumner Port-au-Prince, Haïti Dear Mr. Minister: I am writing to express my appreciation that the case of the political prisoners held in connection with the December 5, 2003 incidents at the State University has been set for trial on August 14, and to urge you to make every effort to ensure that the trial is a fair one for all concerned, especially the defendants. As you know, Annette Auguste (Sò Ann), Georges Honoré and Yvon Antoine (Zap Zap) have been in jail for over two years in this case, and Paul Raymond has been jailed for over a year. Not a single witness has testified in court against any of the defendants, and two years of pre-trial investigation did not produce a single shred of direct evidence against them. The August 14 trial is an opportunity to show that Haitis justice system can make a clean break from the last two years, where the system was used as an instrument of repression, not justice. Accordingly, I urge you to take every possible measure to ensure an exemplary trial. These steps should include instructing the Commissaire du Gouvernement to ensure fair treatment of the accused, providing adequate security and logistical support for the trial, and if necessary, taking appropriate action against any prosecutor or judge who abuses his position to violate the Constitutional and human rights of any of the defendants. Thank you for your attention to this matter. For more information about the Half-Hour for Haiti Program, the Institute for Justice Democracy in Haiti, or human rights in Haiti, see www.ijdh.org.

Fw: [LAAMN] Dorothy Healey Dies
I too met Dorothy Healy as a young communist in the LACC Black Student Union. It was through Rose Chernin and the Committee for the Defense of the Bill of Rights a CP organization which sometimes availed itself as a source for bail money and/lawyers. John's assessment of her is as I remember: she was a remarkably gracious woman. John Imani - Original Message - From: John Johnson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 1:17 PM Subject: [LAAMN] Dorothy Healey Dies http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-healey8aug08,1,7340247.story?coll=la-news-obituaries Many of us activist from the Sixties were familar with and new Dorothy Healey. She had a long time radio show on KPFK, during and after her membership in the Communist Party. We in SDS had regular battles with her and the CP in the Sixties. We were too radical and too activist for the Party's brand of political organizing. Back then they often supported Democratic Party Candidates. But she was always pleasant in her political manipulations. When she got older and moved back to Washington DC to be near her son we all missed her. Dorothy Healey, 91; Lifelong Communist Fought for Working People By Dennis McLellan, Times Staff Writer August 8, 2006 Dorothy Healey, a onetime labor organizer, civil rights activist and Marxist radio commentator who was chairwoman of the Southern California district of the Communist Party USA from the late 1940s through the 1960s, has died. She was 91. Healey, dubbed the Red Queen of Los Angeles by headline writers during her heyday, died Sunday of pneumonia in the Greater Washington Hebrew Home, said her son, Richard. She had been a resident of Washington, D.C., since 1983. ADVERTISEMENT The diminutive Healey, who stood just under 5 feet tall and once wore a pendant that pictured a clenched fist raised as a symbol of solidarity and militancy, fought a lifelong battle against what she called the oppression of the middle class and minorities. She was a heartfelt revolutionary of her time, Donna Wilkinson, the widow of national civil liberties leader Frank Wilkinson, told The Times on Monday. She was always so fiercely partisan for working people. Yes, of course, she cared about war and peace and women's issues, but she was always concerned about working people. The daughter of Hungarian Jewish immigrants, Healey was born in Denver on Sept. 22, 1914. Her father was a traveling salesman, and the family moved from Denver to California when she was 6. Constantly on the move because of her father's work selling smoked meat and cheese, Healey attended 19 schools. Her father died when she was 16. Healey, whose Socialist mother was a founding member of the Communist Party in America, joined the Young Communist League in 1928, when she was 14. I joined the Young Communist League out of a feeling of hate and love, she told an audience at Golden West College in Huntington Beach in 1977. I hated the system that reduced all humans to a feeling of total helplessness . of fear over what each day would bring. I loved the humans who lived under these [conditions] and I respected their potential. She was arrested for the first time at 14 for selling the Daily Worker newspaper and making a speech on skid row in Oakland. At 16, she dropped out of school and helped organize a union and a strike at a cannery in San Jose, where she worked. By 1933, she was organizing agricultural workers in the Imperial Valley. By the end of the decade, she was international vice president of the Congress of Industrial Organization's Cannery, Agriculture and Packing House Workers union. Healey was brought into leadership of the party in Los Angeles at the end of World War II. She became leader of the Communist Party USA's Southern California district, the second largest after New York. She also became a member of the party's National Committee. In 1951, Healey and 14 other Californians were indicted and convicted under the Smith Act for conspiring to advocate the overthrow of the government by force and violence. Although she was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000, her sentence was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1957. The decision was the government had to show and they had not shown that the advocacy was intended to motivate people immediately to action, not merely the reading of old Marxists texts, her son said. From 1956 on, when Healey learned the truth from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's so-called secret speech, in which he revealed Stalin's crimes to the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party, Healey became an advocate for democratizing the American Communist Party and sought more independence from

[LAAMN] Invitation to civil resistance in Lebanon
Press Release-Lebanon: An Open Country for Civil Resistance Beirut August 7, 2006 Press Contacts: Rasha Salti, +961 3 970855 Huwaida Arraf, +961 70 974452 Samah Idriss, +961 3 381349 Wadih Al Asmar, +961 70 950780 On August 12, at 7 am, Lebanese from throughout the country and international supporters who have come to Lebanon to express solidarity will gather in Martyr's Square in Beirut to form a civilian convoy to the south of Lebanon. Hundreds of Lebanese and international civilians will express their solidarity with the inhabitants of the heavily destroyed south who have been bravely withstanding the assault of the Israeli military. This campaign is endorsed by more than 200 Lebanese and international organizations. This growing coalition of national and international non-governmental organizations hereby launches a campaign of civil resistance for the purpose of challenging the cruel and ruthless use of massive military force by Israel, the regional superpower, upon the people of Lebanon. August 12 marks the start of this Campaign of Resistance, declaring Lebanon an Open Country for Civil Resistance. August 12 also marks both the international day of protest against the Israeli aggression. In the face of Israel's systematic killing of our people, the indiscriminate bombing of our towns, the scorching of our villages, and the attempted destruction of our civil infrastructure, we say No! In the face of the forced expulsion of a quarter of our population from their homes throughout Lebanon, and the complicity of governments and international bodies, we re-affirm the acts of civil resistance that began from the first day of the Israeli assault, and we stress and add the urgent need to act!, said Rasha Salti, one of the organizers of this national event. After August 12, the campaign will continue with a series of civil actions, leading to an August 19 civilian march to reclaim the South. Working together, in solidarity, we will overcome the complacency, inaction, and complicity of the international community and we will deny Israel its goal of removing Lebanese from their land and destroying the fabric of our country, explained Samah Idriss, writer and co-organizer of this campaign. An international civilian presence in Lebanon is not only an act of solidarity with the Lebanese people in the face of unparalleled Israeli aggression, it is an act of moral courage to defy the will of those who would seek to alienate the West from the rest and create a new Middle East out of the rubble and blood of the region, said Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement and campaign co-organizer. After having witnessed the wholesale destruction of villages by Israel's air force and navy and having visited the victims (so-called displaced) of Israel's policy of cleansing Lebanese civilians from their homes, continued Arraf, it is imperative to go south and reach those who have stayed behind to resist by steadfastly remaining on their land.
