[news] Subcomandante Marcos’“GoodNose” or "What Does War Smell Like?"

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

What does war smell like? How much pain does its odour cause? Half a year has passed since close to fifty humanists from various countries met in the University of the Land in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas. They responded to a call of the Sixth Commission of the EZLN. When the colloquium was at the point of ending Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos spoke to say: “Those of us who have been at war know how to recognize the paths through which it is prepared and nears us. The signals of war in the horizon are clear. War, like fear, also has an odour. And now we begin to breathe its fetid odour in our lands” (December 16, 2007).

SIDE NOTE: Naomi Klein was present at the International Colloquium mentioned in this article.
