The Hour of the Policeman 4 From the Cat-Dog’s spoiler notebook

The Hour of the Policeman 4
From the Cat-Dog’s spoiler notebook

GaleanoVive (167)

June 2016

Here’s the doubt: what would be the most appropriate comparison for that sad and mediocre overseer who aspires to be a policeman?

Aurelio Donald Nuño Trump?

Aurelio Ramsay Nuño Bolton?

We think that, given his thirst for blood and his cowardice, the latter fits him best.

And, just like in the television series “Game of Thrones,” where Ramsay Bolton is devoured by the dogs that he before used to attack others, the paid media that have used Nuño to slander, threaten, and attack the teachers in resistance and the communities and organizations in solidarity, will feed on him when he falls.

It could very well be said to him tomorrow:

“Your words will disappear.
Your house will disappear
Your name will disappear
All memory of you will disappear.”
To him and the entire system he serves.

Time will tell.
Woof-meow.

“El sargento Nuño, y Osorio Chong dijeron que no tardaríamos tres días porque íbamos a ser despedidos, no sólo hizo la amenaza, militarizó el sur-sureste del país, mandó miles de policías asesinos federales a Michoacán, guerrero, Oaxaca, a chiapas.”

Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. 22 de junio. Después de una larga jornada de actividades que inició a las 9 de la mañana con un bloqueo con gran concentración de docentes en la autopista Tuxtla-San Cristóbal, al grado que la policía federal tuvo que replegarse; y que continuó con dos marchas de l@s trabajador@s del sector salud; la tarde de hoy el movimiento magisterial chiapaneco realizó la marcha denominada “de la cruz”, debido a que miles de docentes avanzaron portando velas encendidas desde los cuatro puntos cardinales de la ciudad para confluir en la plaza central; recordando a las personas asesinadas en Nochixtlán Oaxaca, el pasado día 19, tras un operativo policíaco, esto en el marco de las movilizaciones de la Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE), en protesta por la imposición de la autodenominada “reforma educativa”, del gobierno de Peña Nieto.

(Español) Desde Brasil: Pronunciamiento por Oaxaca y la represión contra maestrxs y el pueblo en lucha

A los pueblos rebeldes de México y del Mundo.
A los y las maestrxs en México que luchan por defender la educación pública.
Para los medios libres e independientes.
Para la Sexta Nacional e Internacional.

Apoyo a las luchas populares en México. 21.06.2016, São Paulo.

Hace un año, la Carava 43 de Ayotzinapa dejó Brasil. Con el objetivo de denunciar la desaparición forzada de los 43 estudiantes de Ayotzinapa, 4 familiares de los desaparecidos, recorrieron tres ciudades brasileñas, para compartir su lucha con nosotras y nosotros. Al concluir la Caravana, se pactó la solidaridad internacional que hoy
nos hace mostrar nuestro apoyo a la lucha de lxs maestrxs y de los pueblos en rebeldía, que está aconteciendo en México, así como nuestro total repudio a los abusos y
represiones policiacas.

Como si fuera una enfermedad cíclica que surge cada 10 años, en junio 2006, la educación en Oaxaca vivía días de manifestaciones pacíficas y represión violenta. Con marchas
de hasta 70 mil personas, el gobernador Ulises Ruiz decidió reprimir lxs maestrxs, causando inmensa indignación y el surgimiento de la Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de
Oaxaca (APPO). Las fuerzas de seguridad del estado y los grupos paramilitares a favor del gobierno atacaron a APPO cuando dos disparos policiacos le alcanzaron el pecho a
Brad Will, periodista del Centro de Medios Independientes (CMI), que cubría los actos, y que murió como consecuencia de los disparos. Él fue uno más, entre decenas de
compañeros y compañeras asesinadxs por la represión del estado.

The Atomic Bomb and the Olympic Games

At the exact moment when the Olympic Games will begin in Rio de Janeiro, at 8:00 p.m. on August 6, 2016, 71 years after August 6, 1945, in Hiroshima, Japan, at the same time, that corresponds to 8:15 a.m., the dreadful launching of the atomic bomb on that city will be remembered. The bomb caused 242.437 victims, counting those who died instantly, and those who died later, as a consequence of nuclear radiation.
In the text of surrender of August, 14th, Emperor Hirohito recognized that «it was about a weapon that could cause the total extinction of human civilization». Days later, when sharing with the people the reasons for the surrender, he declared that the main reason was that the atomic bomb «could bring about the death of all the Japanese people». In his ancestral wisdom, Emperor Hirohito was right.

Las elecciones primarias se han terminado en Estados Unidos y las elecciones generales comienzan de nuevo.

Y ¡voila! Un billonario se enfrenta a una millonaria. La batalla Trump vs Clinton, que he descrito como el sucio vs la astucia,  es un concurso entre primo y prima, porque gane quien gane, según el viejo adagio de los jugadores, “La casa nunca pierde”.

¿Cuál casa? La casa del capital.

En el texto clásico del Manifiesto Comunista, Carlos Marx y Federíco Engels empiezan su obra con una percepción extraordinaria. El Estado, argumentan, es sólo un comité para manejar los asuntos de la burguesía entera.

CNI and EZLN: From within the Storm

FROM WITHIN THE STORM

Joint Communique from the National Indigenous Congress and the EZLN on the cowardly police attack against the National Coordinating Committee of Education Workers and the indigenous community of Nochixtlán, Oaxaca.

June 20, 2016

To the People of Mexico:

To the peoples of the World:

Faced with the cowardly repressive attack suffered by the teachers and the community in Nochixtlán, Oaxaca—in which the Mexican state reminds us that this is a war on all—the peoples, nations, and tribes who make up the National Indigenous Congress and the Zapatista Army for National Liberation say to the dignified teachers that they are not alone, that we know that reason and truth are on their side, that the collective dignity from which they speak their resistance is unbreakable, and that this the principal weapon of those of us below.

We condemn the escalation of repression with which the neoliberal capitalist reform, supposedly about “education,” is being imposed across the entire country and principally in the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero, and Michoacán. With threats, persecutions, beatings, unjust imprisonments and now murders they try to break the dignity of the teachers in rebellion.

We call on our peoples and on civil society in general to be with the teachers who resist at all times, to recognize ourselves in them. The violence used to dispossess them of their basic work benefits with the goal of privatizing education is a reflection of the violence with which the originary peoples and rural and urban peoples are dispossessed.

Those who delight in power decided that education, health, indigenous and campesino territories, and even peace and security are a commodity for whoever can pay for them, that rights are not rights but rather products and services to be snatched away, and they dispossess, destroy, and negotiate according to what big capital dictates. And they intend to impose this aberration through bloody means, murdering and disappearing our compañer@s, sending our spokespeople to high security prisons, making shameless torture into government marketing, and with the help of the paid press, criminalizing the bravest part of Mexican society, that is, those who struggle, who do not give in, who do not sell out, and who do not give up.

We demand a halt to the repression against the teachers in struggle and the immediate and unconditional liberation of ALL political prisoners.

We invite all of the peoples of the countryside and cities to be attentive and in solidarity with the teachers’ struggle, to organize autonomously in order to remain informed and alert in the face of the storm that is upon all of us, knowing that a storm, in addition to its turmoil and chaos, also makes the ground fertile where a new world is always born.

From the mountains, countryside, valleys, canyons, and barrios of the originary peoples, nations, and tribes of Mexico.

Por Alejandro Reyes

En la mañana de este domingo, 19 de junio de 2016, elementos de la policía federal llegaron a la localidad de Nochixtlán, Oaxaca, para desalojar el bloqueo que miembros de la CNTE, estudiantes y padres de familia y personas solidarias mantenían desde hace ocho días. Con extrema violencia, la policía atacó a los maniestantes primero con gas lacrimógeno y balas de goma y después con armas de fuego durante varias horas. En la refriega perdieron la vida ocho personas.

Además, según información de la CNTE, más de 60 personas resultaron heridas, entre docentes y pobladores, a los cuales la policía les negó el acceso al hospital local. Los heridos fueron atendidos por la población en una iglesia y finalmente trasladados a otros hospitales. Según información de los Servicios de Salud de Oaxaca, 31 heridos de gravedad se encuentran ahora en el Hospital General “Pilar Sánchez Villavicencio” de Huajuapan de León y en el Hospital General “Benito Juárez” del IMSS en la ciudad de Oaxaca.

Se reporta también un número indeterminado de niños y niñas que se perdieron de sus padres y madres al momento de la represión, y cuyos familiares los siguen buscando.

Más de 20 personas fueron detenidas y hasta el momento se reportan 22 personas desaparecidas.

Según información de Regeneración Radio, Radio Pozol y Emeequis, los fallecidos son:

Notes on the War Against the Teachers in Resistance (The Hour of the Police 3)

Notes on the War Against the Teachers in Resistance
(The Hour of the Police 3)

June 2016

From the notebook of the cat-dog:

—We don’t know about the rest of the country, but in Chiapas those above are losing the media war.

We have seen entire families support the teachers, in the rural areas as well as the urban. And we aren’t talking about support of the “we see your raised fists” type, or that of “the people united will never be defeated” and other slogans that continue to be the same despite distances in calendar and geography because below solidarity continues to be a basic principle. But if in previous mobilizations among the rebellious teachers, the “citizens” (a term that hides inequality) were bothered and fed up, now things have changed.

There are more and more families helping the teachers, donating support for their trips and marches, becoming anxious when they are attacked, offering food, drink, and refuge. They are families who, according to the taxonomy of the electoral left, have been “dumbed down” by television, or are “sandwich-gobblers,”(i) “deranged,” “sheep,” “people without conscience.” But it seems that the outsized media campaign against the teachers in resistance has failed.

The resistance movement against the education reform has become a mirror for more and more people-people (meaning, not social and political organizations, but ordinary people). It is as if the resistance has awoken a collective sense of urgency in the face of the coming tragedy. It is as if every swing of a police baton, every canister of tear gas, every rubber bullet, and every arrest warrant were eloquent slogans: “today I attack her, him; tomorrow I’m coming for you.” Perhaps that is why, behind every teacher there are entire families that sympathize with their cause and their struggle.

Why? Why does a movement that has been fiercely attacked on all sides continue to grow? If they are “vandals,” “slackers,” “terrorists,” “corrupt,” and “opposed to progress,” then why do so many people below, no small number in the middle, and even a few above salute the teachers, even if sometimes in silence, for defending what anyone would defend?
