Viva Palestina Stopped at the "Peace" Bridge
July 13, 2009
On July 4, a delegation of solidarity activists set out from the U.S. to deliver desperately needed humanitarian supplies to the Palestinians of Gaza. The convoy was organized by group Viva Palestina, led by British member of parliament and antiwar activist George Galloway, who was part of a similar effort from London earlier this year.
The delegation arrived in Egypt and began assembling vehicles and supplies. But its progress has been hampered by Egyptian authorities, who stopped several buses filled with Viva Palestina members from crossing into the Sinai on the way toward the Rafah border crossing into Gaza. Organizers said they wanted to continue their journey on Monday with the cooperation of the Egyptian government.
Several SocialistWorker.org contributors are part of the Viva Palestina delegation and will be contributing to this journal. This entry was written by Karen Burke and Brian Lenzo.

Obama, Ghana, and African oil
Barack Obama's visit to Ghana is, most fundamentally, about West African oil and natural gas, and control of the corridors for transporting it through the Gulf of Guinea, on the West African Coast. Nigeria, the greatest source of African oil for export, is at the center of the African oil producing states bordering the Gulf, and the Niger River is the corridor for transporting Nigerian oil and gas, and now, oil and gas from landlocked Niger, as well.

The Coup in Honduras: A Teachable Moment for Obama?
President Barack Obama's main duty under the U.S. Constitution is to see to it that the laws are "faithfully executed." By a UN Treaty, approved by the Senate, in 1994, torture is against U.S. law. No ifs, ands or buts about it. No exceptions! In Honduras, some apologists for the "de facto" regime, are pretending that they followed the law, when they gave their president the boot. Will Obama play the same "pretend game" on Torture? Stay Tuned.

Compromising Democracy in Honduras
Can a solution to the crisis in Honduras — itself the result of a military coup — be "mediated," where on one side sit coup leaders and on the other a democratically elected but ousted President? Does any "middle ground" exist? Of course not. If President Zelaya unconditionally returns to finish his term in office, democracy will be restored; anything short of that will have democracy "compromised" into its opposite.
Obama is the behind-the-scenes organizer of this negotiated farce, even though he has no legal or moral right to undermine the democratic process in Honduras. His Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, brought the parties together and chose an "objective" mediator, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias — someone who has obviously aligned himself with the United States.

In April 2009 a youth group launched a boycott against Flor de Cana, the famous Nicaraguan rum. The boycott is in solidarity with former sugar cane workers who are members of the Nicaraguan Association of Those Affected by Chronic Renal Insufficiency (ANAIRC). The youth have decided to extend their campaign by sending protest letters to the Compania Licorera de Nicaragua SA, which together with the Nicaragua Sugar Estates Ltd. and the San Antonio Sugar Mill belong to the economically powerful Pellas Group. The protest letter campaign is also aimed at all the companies that import and distribute Flor de Cana rum around the world.

As long as the economy is not democratized, democracy remains incomplete and unfinished, always in danger of being trivialized to mere ritual.."

Anarchism, insurrections and insurrectionalism
Insurrections - the armed rising of the people - has always been close to the heart of anarchism. The first programmatic documents of the anarchist movement were created by Bakunin and a group of European left-republican insurrectionists as they made the transition to anarchism in Italy in the 1860's. This was not a break with insurrectionism but with left-republicanism, shortly afterwards Bakunin was to take part in an insurrection in Lyon in 1870.

The Coup in Honduras
On July 28, troops in Honduras ousted President Manuel Zelaya and flew him out of the country. Praised by the traditional left for his economic policies and social reforms, Zelaya's alliance with Hugo Chavez and growing relationship with the ALBA countries were sharply rebuked by the more conservative sectors which also disapproved of his periodic attacks on the United States. From Costa Rica, Zelaya declared: "This was a plot by a very voracious elite, which wants to keep this country in an extreme level of poverty!". However, it seems improbable that the Honduran elite would have toppled the democratically-elected president without Washington's prior consent and support, despite assurances to the contrary.

Barack Obama's visit to Ghana is, most fundamentally, about West African oil and natural gas, and control of the corridors for transporting it through the Gulf of Guinea, on the West African Coast. Nigeria, the greatest source of African oil for export, is at the center of the African oil producing states bordering the Gulf, and the Niger River is the corridor for transporting Nigerian oil and gas, and now, oil and gas from landlocked Niger, as well.
President Barack Obama's main duty under the U.S. Constitution is to see to it that the laws are "faithfully executed." By a UN Treaty, approved by the Senate, in 1994, torture is against U.S. law. No ifs, ands or buts about it. No exceptions! In Honduras, some apologists for the "de facto" regime, are pretending that they followed the law, when they gave their president the boot. Will Obama play the same "pretend game" on Torture? Stay Tuned.

MANILA, Philippines. Members of the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) staged a protest action in front of the World Bank office here today to demand the total and unconditional cancellation of all debts it is claiming from the Philippines and developing nations. The protest action coincided with the opening of the Group of Eight Nations' (G8) 35th Summit in Italy which sets among its agenda the development of a comprehensive response to the global economic crisis.
Cascadia Earth First! And Cascadia Rising Tide Descend On The Home Depot To Protest River Destruction.
In April 2009 a youth group launched a boycott against Flor de Cana, the famous Nicaraguan rum. The boycott is in solidarity with former sugar cane workers who are members of the Nicaraguan Association of Those Affected by Chronic Renal Insufficiency (ANAIRC). The youth have decided to extend their campaign by sending protest letters to the Compania Licorera de Nicaragua SA, which together with the Nicaragua Sugar Estates Ltd. and the San Antonio Sugar Mill belong to the economically powerful Pellas Group. The protest letter campaign is also aimed at all the companies that import and distribute Flor de Cana rum around the world.
Today, a group of Cascadia Earth First!ers and Rising Tide members took action against the continued liquidation and destruction of Oregon's Elliot State Forest. Using sky pods, bipods, road blockades, overturned cargo vans, lock downs and many other beautiful installations, the road to Umpcoos Ridge timber sale has been occupied, held and reclaimed for the forest, the people and future generations.
Mass transit is the only ecologically conscious and rational transportation response to global warming, to global inequity, and to equity here in the U.S., where African Americans ride the bus at nearly three times the rate other Americans do, but federal stimulus funds have gone first and foremost to highways, and left them, along with the rest of us who don't drive or own cars, at the back of the bus.
On July 28, troops in Honduras ousted President Manuel Zelaya and flew him out of the country. Praised by the traditional left for his economic policies and social reforms, Zelaya's alliance with Hugo Chavez and growing relationship with the ALBA countries were sharply rebuked by the more conservative sectors which also disapproved of his periodic attacks on the United States. From Costa Rica, Zelaya declared: "This was a plot by a very voracious elite, which wants to keep this country in an extreme level of poverty!". However, it seems improbable that the Honduran elite would have toppled the democratically-elected president without Washington's prior consent and support, despite assurances to the contrary.
