The United States is seriously worried about the impact the Venezuelan revolution is having in the rest of Latin America...the Bolivarian revolution has raised the hopes of the masses of workers and peasants throughout the continent and beyond. It has provided an example that it is possible to challenge the policies imposed by Washington.

Speak out against the pipeline

I'm writing in response to the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline as a 41-year-old aboriginal from the Northwest Territories. 

First of all, Fred Carmichael doesn't speak on my behalf. He believes our people will perish if they don't have a few bucks in their pockets, even though we have been surviving for thousands of years without a measly dollar.

Message-ID: <20060404074025.7995.qmail@resist.ca>

This strike represents a revival of class struggle and class solidarity in Britain and shows the strength of the organised working class. Workers are heartily sick of 'New' Labour. The sleaze allegations surrounding the government - that businessmen have handed over sums of money that most workers would never see in an entire lifetime in return for a seat in the House of Lords - alongside the continuing pro-capitalist policies, have compounded to increase the sense of injustice felt by workers whose measly pension rights are now under threat.

Colombian President Alvaro Uribe?s three-year U.S.-backed military offensive has failed to seriously diminish the FARC?s (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) military capacity. Given that Washington has already made Colombia the third-largest recipient of U.S. military aid in the world?providing intelligence, weapons and training?the only remaining escalation available to the Bush administration is to deploy U.S. combat troops to the South American nation under the guise of the war on drugs.

Chavez rules out return to cheap oil  
By Meirion Jones  
Producer, BBC Newsnight

If you thought high oil prices were just a blip think again - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has ruled out any return to the era of cheap oil.

Mr Chavez has spent some of the oil money on social projects  
In an interview with BBC Newsnight's Greg Palast, Mr Chavez - who is due to host the Opec meeting on 1 June in Caracas - said he would ask the oil cartel to set $50 a barrel as the long term level.

CBC Radio, Thursday, April 6, 2006, 6:30/7:30 a.m.

Interest in resource development near Tulita is at an all-time high,  
whether it's hydro, coal, oil or gas, but the 600 people who live on the  
banks of the Mackenzie River are starting to wonder about the effects of  
development. Many told the panel reviewing the Mackenzie gas project they'd  
like their land use plan finished first so that their important areas are

"Absolutely no regrets because, in the end, we got poor people in this town 2.7$ million dollars - put directly into their pockets - and we all see how much hope and relief this brought! If someone had asked me if netting 2.7 million was worth six months in jail, obviously I'd (have) answered "yup".

The issue is devastating poverty - kids going hungry. We didn't use rhetoric - we were always upfront - and we didn't hurt anyone. However, you can be honest and criticize and I'll take it in a spirit of concern." - Sam Kuhn, written before his arrest.

Special to Mostly Water

Imagine a highway built for 2 cars...that's right, a road where only 2 cars can reach the destination every 2 hours...Of course, no car owner would stand for it.

But this highway does exist for cyclists: Translink and BC Ferries have created a system that allows only 2 cyclists to travel from Vancouver to Nanaimo (and vice versa) every 2 hours. Okay, I exaggerate: only 2 cyclists can connect with the first two sailings each day. The other 6 sailings each day can accommodate 4 cyclists!

This shift in the relationship between political power and society could mean the end of the welfare state. The (First Employment Contract) is part of a campaign to destroy the sense of social solidarity central to French identity. That is why there is so much opposition. And why France is in revolt.

In 1950 the anthropologist Allan R Holmberg published his classic text Nomads

Holmberg had lived with the Indians and studied their habits for two years.  
His assessment, which generations of scholars took as gospel and applied to  
other indigenous groups, was that the Siriono were an unimpressive people who  
had existed for thousands of years without innovation or progress. He claimed  
the Siriono had no real history prior to European contact, when Western

4:20 am the OPP attacked to arrest them. Hauled first 9 off. Some protesters took the Caledonia bridge. Reserve people arrived and repelled the cops. At least 150 heavily armed cops. Vans, trucks, paddy wagons, ambulances (for the cops). They repelled them. The cops came back. They were replled again. Now at 9:00 am the people have taken the land in question back. How to get there: From Niagara Falls and Toronto, take Highway 6 straight south from Hamilton to Caledonia. From buffalo take Highway 3 west to Higway 6 and north on Highway 6 to Caledonia. From Windsor take Higway 3 East to Higway 6 and go north. These are backways and cops are not likely to be looking at it too much.

As it was later revealed he is the son of a high ranking police officer. When students atttempted to approach him at point blank he pulled out a gun and aimed at them but before he was able to use it he was disarmed. He was then taken to the dean where a second gun was found amongst his belongings. The dean?s intention was to hand Gerasimos Papagiannis over to the police so that he may be charged but for ideological reasons late that afternoon he was set free by the same students that disarmed him.

A military force of unknown size and capacity seems to be operating out of the Hamilton airport, according to information gathered by the Dominion. The deployment of military forces would be a major escalation in the standoff between native protesters and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The OPP has tried once, unsucessfully, to remove demonstrators occupying a housing development that Six Nations Kanienkehake (Mohawks) say is illegal under Canadian, Haudenosaunee and international law.

Subject: [news] Canada's Military-Corporate Complex and its Services
	Rendered to George W. Bush
Message-ID: <20060430021705.10684.qmail@resist.ca>

(In Canada) we have what you would...call a military-corporate complex - an alliance between organizations seeking more spending and a larger force closely integrated with the U.S. military, and private enterprise groups seeking government deregulation, privatization and an economy just as integrated as our two military forces...Ideology and economic interests bond these lobbies together. For a retired general or conservative academic, it may be a belief in a strong military; for a CEO, it's the prospect of contracts. The result is that each demands the government spend billions more on the military.
