Zapatista Communities: “Resistance and Rebellion Are Our Weapons”

zapatista-moisssmall.jpg“We discovered that resistance is not only resisting one’s enemy, refusing its crumbs or leftovers. Resistance also means resisting the enemy’s threats and provocations…When we resist as a collective, it is done with discipline, that is, through agreement. We make an agreement regarding how we are going to deal with different types of problems…We have been developing this resistance for 20 years. At the beginning it was difficult…We began to see that resistance and rebellion gave our organization security and sustenance…We discovered that with resistance and rebellion we could govern ourselves and with resistance and rebellion we could develop our own initiatives…”

Trump: a ‘Demagogue’ Beyond Political Redemption

El Universal (Translated by WorldMeets.us): At the first debate with the ten main aspirants for the Republican presidential nomination [video, upper, right] – and there are seven more in the junior league – there was one figure who overshadowed all others. His style abrasive and offensive, Donald Trump was the center of attention, much to the chagrin of his colleagues and the great concern of party leaders.

Trump burst in, flirting with the audience from the moment of his arrival, confronted the three moderators and particularly the sole woman among them, and he resisted the timid attacks of his onstage rivals, which little by little faded into the background.

Senator McCain to Photograph Seeker Holding “Protect Oak Flat” Sign: “Get Out of Here, Now!”

“I LISTENED TO THE MANY LEADERS THAT SPOKE. AFTER MR. MCCAIN SPOKE I APPROACHED HIM AND I ASKED FOR A PHOTO. THEN WHEN I SHOOK HIS HAND, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT MY ‘PROTECT OAK FLAT’ CARD. WHEN HE SAW THE CARD HE SAID, ‘GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!’” TSINIGINE TOLD NATIVE NEWS ONLINE.

As he walked away from Senator McCain (R-Arizona), Tsinigine thought about how disrespectful the senator was to him and his Apache relatives.

McCain is the U.S. senator who pushed for the land exchange of Oak Flat, a land held sacred by Apaches and other American Indians, that was tucked into last December’s $585 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 that was passed by Congress.

“I respect Mr. McCain for his service in the war and the sacrifices he has made for us all, but I have no respect for him as a senator in the state of Arizona,” Tsinigine continued.

Measles kills more than 300 in DR Congo | News | DW.COM | 14.08.2015

The outbreak of measles in the copper-mining Katanga province in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the worst since 2011, according to the humanitarian organization Doctors without Borders (MSF, Medecins Sans Frontiers), which conducts vaccination campaigns in remote areas.

“Almost 320 people died,” the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement. “Dozens of others may have succumbed to the illness but they don’t figure in official records,” the statement added.

The measles epidemic in the province of Katanga “is only worsening and gaining ground”, the UN warned.
