The Empire strikes back – right when when public support for the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan sinks to all time lows, an anti-war Islamic extremist with links to suicide bombers goes on a shooting rampage at a U.S. army base, reinvigorating support for the war on terror and demonizing opposition to it as anti-American extremism.

All Souls altar in front of Mexican Embassy
In this letter the 'Abejas' send their greetings and gratitude from Chiapas, Mexico for the solidarity events happening around the world this year on All Souls Day. They also share news about search operatives in the communities and report that military/police checkpoints are back in the highlands.

"Afghan betrayal"

05-11-2009 20:36

Independent, 5 November 2009


If your country has been under a brutal occupation for eight years, would you consider working in the service of the occupation forces?

Wouldn’t that be the ultimate betrayal against your fellow countrymen who have been subjected to genocide?
