Today 26, July 2006 everything has an unreasonable hue a certain irrational shimmer. I can taste the air and it is bitter with unreason and cruelty. I am able to detect the world passing all the horror, lies and weeping. I must be dreaming or I could be mad! |

Bush Keeps Pakistani Nuclear Expansion From Congress |
Submitted by: yo / 25 Jul 2006
Publisher: truthout.org

Congress learned of nation's nuclear expansion from independent analysts.
The Bush administration acknowledged yesterday that it had long known about Pakistan's plans to build a large plutonium-production reactor, but it said the White House was working to dissuade Pakistan from using the plant to expand its nuclear arsenal.
"We discourage military use of the facility," White House spokesman Tony Snow said of a powerful heavy-water reactor under construction at Pakistan's Khushab nuclear site in Punjab state... |

Israeli Missiles Rip Into Medics' Esprit de Corps |
Submitted by: yo / 25 Jul 2006
Publisher: Los Angeles Times

TYRE, Lebanon — In the burning haze of the missile strike, Qasim Chaalan thought he had died. But piece by piece, he noticed that he was still there, inside the ambulance. He could still feel his body. He opened his eyes, and discovered he could see.
He and the other medics were lucky: They had survived the blow of an Israeli missile. Dazed and slow, one of the men fumbled for the radio and began, "We have an accident…. " He didn't finish the sentence. A second missile smashed with a roar into the ambulance behind them.
Six Red Cross volunteers were wounded in the Sunday attack, and the injured family they were ferrying to safety suffered fresh agonies. A middle-age man lost his leg from the knee down. His mother was partially paralyzed. A little boy's head was hammered by shrapnel.
Perhaps most dangerous of all, the attack blunted the zeal of the band of gonzo ambulance drivers who have doggedly plugged away as Red Cross volunteers. Young men and women with easy grins and a breezy disregard for their own safety, they have remained as the last visible strand of social structure intact after days of Israeli bombardment... |

Tel Aviv: Thousands Rally against War |
Submitted by: yo / 24 Jul 2006
Publisher: Yedioth News

Thousands of left-wing activists, including many Arab citizens, marched Saturday evening from the Rabin Square to the Cinematheque plaza in Tel Aviv in protest of the fighting in Lebanon. The protestors held up signs with slogans against the war and called for an immediate ceasefire.
According to the demonstrators, a prisoner exchange deal with Hizbullah must be struck, as well as a similar deal with Hamas. Marchers also urged IDF soldiers not to take part in the Lebanon operation, chanting: "Listen up, soldier – it's your duty to refuse." Other slogans recited by the participants were: "The occupation is a disaster, leave Lebanon now," "Olmert and Bush have struck a deal – to carry on with the occupation," and "Children in Beirut and Haifa want to go on living..." |

Bombings Hit Children Hardest |

by Dahr Jamail
BEIRUT - About 55 percent of all casualties at the Beirut Government University Hospital are children of 15 years of age or less, hospital records show.
"This is worse than during the Lebanese civil war," Bilal Masri, assistant director of the hospital, one of Beirut's largest, told IPS Monday.
Not only are most of the patients children, but many of the injured have been brought in serious condition, he said. "Now we have a 30 percent fatality rate here in Beirut. That means that 30 percent of everyone hit by Israeli bombs are dying. It is a catastrophe."
The fatality rate was high, he said, "because the Israelis are using new kinds of bombs which can enter shelters. They are bombing the bomb shelters which are full of refugees..." |

Oaxaca Uprising! |
Submitted by: yo / 24 Jul 2006
Publisher: salzman
|
This is to alert you to the extraordinary revolt that has been taking place for the past few weeks in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. It began when the annual teachers protest encampment in the city square of Oaxaca was attacked by the state police on June 14. The protest rapidly turned into a state-wide revolt of civil society against the state governor, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, demanding his ouster. What is remarkable is that the uprising has taken the form of popular assemblies. They have already convened half a dozen general state-wide assemblies. Numerous local assemblies have also been convened, and the tactic is spreading. Local town government administrations are being thrown out and replaced by popular assemblies. Now the movement has taken the revolutionary step of demanding that the entire governmental apparatus in the state be replaced by the network of popular assemblies. Thus this revolt has far surpassed the use of neighborhood assemblies in the uprising in Argentina beginning in December 2001, or the revival of the Arsh (traditional network of assemblies) in the great revolt in Algeria beginning in the Spring of 2001, or the organization of neighborhood assemblies in the city of El Alto (one million residents arranged themselves into 600 neighborhood assemblies) in the spectacular uprising in Bolivia in May-June 2005.
The following link will bring you to a short introduction to the uprising by George Salzman and to nearly two dozen links to articles about it, especially to the outstanding on-the-ground reports by one of our very own, a former member of the Lucy Parsons Center, Nancy Davies.
http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/2006-07-07.htm
Those links end though on July 7. For more recent reports, by Nancy and others (interspersed with news about the Mexican elections and other Latin America news) go to:
http://www.narconews.com/
A July 22 posting is of the Papers of Impeachment of Governor Ruiz drawn up by a wide swath of civil society in Oaxaca and presented to the national congress on July 21.
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/story/2006/7/22/105442/616
I hope that some of you will circulate this email further. This is a revolt that should be of interest to all anarchists. I have appended below a press release about the articles of impeachment.

"Lebanon carpenters are running out of wood for coffins. Bodies are stacked 3 or 4 feet high at the hospital morgue. The stench is spreading in the rubble. The morbid reality of Israel�s bombing campaign is reaching almost every corner of the city� On Thursday, the wild dogs gnawed at the charred remains of a family bombed as they were trying to escape the village." Hassan Fattah, New York Times
