Are Mexican drug cartels a threat to the United States? This is an easy conclusion to make after reading most mainstream U.S. newspapers. Hardly a day goes by without sensational stories about "broad daylight" gun battles, heart-wrenching interviews with weeping mothers, and praise for the Mexican army in its "war" against "narco-terrorists."

"Many developing countries that were independent in food production at the start of the 1980s import food necessary for their populations today. The subsidized agriculture of western cou9ntries has flooded the countries of the South, ruined tens of thousands of farmer families and driven them from their land to the slums..

On the eve of the Republican-dominated mid-term election, working people were told to vote Democrat to prevent a "truly dangerous" Republican party from taking power. There is an element of truth in this: the Republican Party has been sprinting to the far right for decades, to the point where they are incapable of speaking sensibly about political issues.
But in a close second place in this rightward scramble are the Democrats, who've spent decades racing into the arms of the corporations that dominate both political parties unchallenged.

I've been proud that DC IMC has kept a backup of all its posting during the A16 protest. Hat's off to Eddie down at DC IMC. This page documents so much of what happened during that protest- or was it a police riot? Who knew. There is much to be learned from the past.

'To opt out for a pat down, say "I opt out." Warning: Pat downs are no longer the simple search like those in the past. In some instances, as part of an "enhanced patdown," the TSA screener may use the front of their hands to touch your genitals. Should you feel that you or your child were inappropriately touched, call for a law enforcement officer. If presented with the option to leave the checkpoint for a private screening, consider politely declining with a "No, thank you," as you will likely be asked to remove your clothing. Pat downs can be performed in public view.'

U.S. prison officials have obtained greater and greater discretion to send someone to solitary confinement for years; to force people into their cells naked, without meals; to inflict punitive measures without any possibility of outside intervention. It's often a closed system whose managers have all the authority, especially at our supermax facilities. They function in many ways like Guantánamo.
What do you call a country that glorifies wars and violence in the name of peace... One that believes pacifism is sissy and unpatriotic. One that feels militarism is a higher form of civilization. One that threatens planetary life... One with the world's largest prison population, a domestic gulag besides others abroad.

The Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega, and his dredging master, Eden Pastora, must also have a major economic motive, perhaps for some kind of development near the mouth of the Río San Juan. Nicaragua sets up army camp on disputed island osta Rica's tradition of pacifism is being put to the test, perhaps on purpose, by the Nicaraguan government. The stakes are high for Nicaragua and low for Costa Rica.

Some parts of the United States have begun to run low on water. That is probably not much of a surprise to people who live in the arid parts of America that have had water shortages for decades or even centuries. No one who has been to the Badlands in South Dakota would expect to be able to grow crops there.
