compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros de las bases de apoyo del Ej\u00e9rcito Zapatista de Liberaci\u00f3n Nacional, quiero platicarles lo que sentimos de lo que nos hacen a nosotras y nosotros en los pueblos originarios de M\u00e9xico, y creo est\u00e1 igual en el mundo entero.<\/p>\n<p>Queremos decirles, explicarles, una vez m\u00e1s, de los ya tantos dolores que nos ha hecho este podrido sistema

M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n<p>Voy a hablar de c\u00f3mo nos sentimos nosotras y nosotros, zapatistas, de lo que les hicieron a nuestras hermanas y hermanos ind\u00edgenas de pueblo de San Juan Chamula, el pasado 23 de Julio de este a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>A nosotras y nosotros Zapatistas, nos duele lo que pas\u00f3 ah\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Lo que realmente pas\u00f3, no lo que han dicho los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n de paga que se venden por unos centavos.<\/p>\n<p>Bien lo sabemos que dicen que mataron al presidente municipal que es del Verde Ecologista.\u00a0 Y como es el partido del capataz Velasco, pues ah\u00ed est\u00e1n los medios de paga llorando y lamentando.\u00a0 Y no dicen nada de los otros muertos, los que se fueron a morir a sus parajes, o cuyos cuerpos fueron sacados por sus familiares todav\u00eda heridos o ya finados.\u00a0 Para el gobierno y periodistas esos muertos no importan.\u00a0 Y son decenas de muertos, y no s\u00f3lo 5 que eran autoridades corruptas.<\/p>\n<p>Todos en Chamula, y en todos los parajes ind\u00edgenas de Los Altos de Chiapas, lo saben lo que pas\u00f3.\u00a0 Lo saben que fue la guardia del presidente corrupto del Verde la que inici\u00f3 la balacera y mat\u00f3 e hiri\u00f3 a muchos de los que estaban en la plaza.\u00a0 Y que fue hasta despu\u00e9s que lleg\u00f3 el otro grupo armado a rematar a esas autoridades.\u00a0 Rematar, s\u00ed, porque ya estaban muertas a garrote y machete.<\/p>\n<p>El gobierno y sus empleados periodistas quieren presentar como que fue un peque\u00f1o problema, dicen que \u201cpobrecito\u201d el presidente municipal, que s\u00f3lo le reclamaron y \u00e9l quer\u00eda solucionar, pero los \u201csalvajes\u201d chamulas, as\u00ed dicen los medios, lo mataron.<\/p>\n<p>Es mentira.\u00a0 Todo lo que han dicho en todos los medios de paga es mentira.\u00a0 Es una mentira pagada con unos centavos.\u00a0 Y los medios de paga prefieren entrevistar a \u201cespecialistas\u201d, dicen, en lugar de investigar lo que pas\u00f3 realmente.<\/p>\n<p>Nosotros no lo vamos a decir lo que pas\u00f3 en detalle.\u00a0 Eso le toca decirlo a las verdaderas v\u00edctimas de ese d\u00eda y de mucho tiempo antes.\u00a0 Ya sabr\u00e1n ellos cu\u00e1ndo y c\u00f3mo lo dicen.<\/p>\n<p>Pero nosotros s\u00ed decimos que nos duele, mucho, lo que pas\u00f3 despu\u00e9s.\u00a0 Lo de c\u00f3mo los medios de paga empezaron a decir tonter\u00edas e insultos a los ind\u00edgenas.\u00a0 Y los que se dicen que muy progresistas, pues tambi\u00e9n.\u00a0 Nos duele de c\u00f3mo hicieron como si fuera un h\u00e9roe a un corrupto.\u00a0 De c\u00f3mo mintieron todos y se hicieron c\u00f3mplices del verdadero crimen, y se pusieron de rodillas para que el Velasco se subiera en sus lomos y se presentara como un gran salvador.\u00a0 Ah\u00ed va en su cuenta que se vendan por unos centavos.<\/p>\n<p>A nosotros no nos importa si no son zapatistas en el pueblo de Chamula.\u00a0 Son nuestros hermanos.\u00a0 Son ind\u00edgenas y es parte de nuestro pueblo originario, de nuestra raza originaria, los que se mataron en el pueblo de San Juan Chamula.\u00a0 No nos da gusto que se maten entre ind\u00edgenas, aunque sean de partidos pol\u00edticos o de lo que sea.\u00a0 No nos da gusto que se presente como \u201csalvajes\u201d a ind\u00edgenas y que sean los verdaderos salvajes criminales gobiernos y partidistas los que as\u00ed dicen y con sus prensas de paga bien obedientes.<\/p>\n<p>Lo que nos importa es qui\u00e9n quiso que as\u00ed pasara, qui\u00e9n lo plane\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Tenemos un dolor inmensamente al parecer incurable de lo que nos hacen los de arriba.<\/p>\n<p>Estamos claros ya, nadie nos va curar, solamente nosotras, nosotros mismos, tenemos que trabajar mucho y muy duro.<\/p>\n<p>Porque todo lo malo que nos pasa en nuestras comunidades, pueblos, colonias, parajes, SIEMPRE ES PORQUE AH\u00cd EST\u00c1N METIDOS LOS PARTIDOS POL\u00cdTICOS y las RELIGIONES O EL NARCOTR\u00c1FICO.<\/p>\n<p>Nos usan a nosotras y nosotros, ind\u00edgenas, para hacer de todo, totalmente a todo lo que les viene en gana a los de arriba.<\/p>\n<p>Nos quieren llevar de ser servidores de ellos los de arriba, como s\u00edndicos, regidores, diputados estatales, diputados federal.\u00a0 \u00bfA qu\u00e9?, a aprender a ganar dinero sin trabajar, a aprender de corrupto, disfrazados de ser servidores del pueblo.<\/p>\n<p>Nos ven, no s\u00e9 como qu\u00e9 cosa, porque la basura s\u00ed sirve de abono.\u00a0 En este caso ni como basura nos ven. \u00a0Somos sus mierdas para ellos y ellas los de arriba.<\/p>\n<p>Nos tratan como sus mierdas porque ya las usaron y esa mierda hay que desecharla, haciendo como se quiera hacer.<\/p>\n<p>No puedo decir que nos tratan como sus animales o sus mascotas que ellos y ellas tienen, porque a \u00e9sas sus mascotas que tienen, las tienen con trato como un ser vivo.<\/p>\n<p>A nosotras y nosotros los ind\u00edgenas del mundo, nos ven y nos dicen,\u201d atrasados mentales\u201d, \u201cno civilizados\u201d, \u201cestorbosas\u201d y \u201cestorbosos\u201d, nos dicen

Pero nunca lo podr\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>Nos han dividido en las religiones, mal educado en las escuelas, en los partidos pol\u00edticos.\u00a0 Nos han metido otras culturas, otra mala pol\u00edtica, otra mala ideolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros de la sexta nacional e internacional, hermanas y hermanos del mundo:<\/p>\n<p>Claro les decimos. No somos mierda de los de arriba, para que nos traten as\u00ed. \u00a0Somos humanos de sangre, hueso y carne como ellas y ellos. De color no somos igual, pero de ser vivo s\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>No queremos ser malos como ellas y ellos, que usan a los humanos.<\/p>\n<p>Porque hoy est\u00e1n mostrando que somos malos los ind\u00edgenas, que nos matamos entre nosotros los ind\u00edgenas, como lo que pas\u00f3 en San Juan Chamula.<\/p>\n<p>Los que quisieron que as\u00ed pasar\u00e1 eso son los partidos de arriba del PRI y del PVEM de los gobernantes y de todos los partidos pol\u00edticos.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed ha pasado con los otros partidos ll\u00e1mese de izquierda o no.\u00a0 Nos usan de choque y ellos como partidos no son ellos los atrasados mentales, malos y todo los males, siempre somos nosotros los que salimos pagando lo m\u00e1s fiero.<\/p>\n<p>No digo que somos muy buenos los pueblos originarios, tenemos nuestros problemas pero los resolvemos nosotros, pero esto que pas\u00f3 es por culpa de los partidos y las autoridades de esos partidos.<\/p>\n<p>No sale esto en los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, porque no ganan dinero si sacan la verdad, todo lo contrario, ganan m\u00e1s dinero al ocultar la informaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Ya los periodistas mujer u hombre, que trabajan en los peri\u00f3dicos, tienen que hacer lo que digan sus patrones, y ellas y ellos lo hacen por cuesti\u00f3n de paga.\u00a0 Ya se perdi\u00f3 su dignidad y as\u00ed est\u00e1n tambi\u00e9n los l\u00edderes de las religiones que saben que est\u00e1n enga\u00f1ando, ya no hay dignidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPorque qui\u00e9n ense\u00f1\u00f3 de ser corruptos, ratero y tramposo?\u00a0 Ellas y ellos, los de arriba.<\/p>\n<p>Porque ese muerto presidente municipal de San Juan Chamula era del Verde que no los quer\u00eda pagar lo que les deb\u00eda a esos ind\u00edgenas igual que \u00e9l.\u00a0 Muchas veces le hab\u00edan dicho \u00a1p\u00e1ganos ya! Pero no hubo o\u00eddo y escucha para ellos y ellas. \u00bfD\u00f3nde aprendi\u00f3 esto el presidente municipal? En los malos gobernantes.<\/p>\n<p>D\u00e9cadas y d\u00e9cadas y cientos de a\u00f1os nos han siempre enga\u00f1ado, maltratado, usado, y es por eso nadie nos hace caso a nosotras, nosotros los ind\u00edgenas.<\/p>\n<p>Malo y mal\u00edsimo las ense\u00f1anza de los de arriba, porque algunos \u00a0de los ind\u00edgenas que se han dejado para ser serviles\u00a0 de los de arriba que han llegado de ser sindico, regidores, como la regidora de Las Margaritas (la Florinda del PAN) de La Realidad, el exdiputado federal de la CIOAC (Antonio Hern\u00e1ndez Cruz) tojolabales. Han aprendido de no escuchar y no tomar en cuenta a los pueblos. Son los organizadores del asesinato del compa\u00f1ero maestro de la escuelita del compa\u00f1ero Galeano.\u00a0 No lo olvidamos.<\/p>\n<p>Muchos tomos de libros de cosas malas que nos han querido ense\u00f1ar. Un ejemplo: yo, ind\u00edgena, pero soy peque\u00f1o propietario de tierra de 10 hect\u00e1reas, ya soy ranchero, y un ejidatario comunero con su derecho de 20 hect\u00e1reas, ah, no es ranchero, pero tiene 20 hect\u00e1reas, pero no es lo que vale, lo que vale es ser propietario de propiedad, entonces como ya son rancheros por lo tanto ya no son ind\u00edgenas. \u00a0Ni se diga si ya son regidor o s\u00edndico, porque ya son de clase media. Y ya dicen que no saben hablar una lengua.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 nosotras y nosotros los ind\u00edgenas tenemos que pagar con vida, para que otros tengan dinero para comer?<\/p>\n<p>Todos los medios de paga, compiten de precio a cu\u00e1nto van a vender las fotos de muertos de San Juan Chamula, pero no sacan qui\u00e9n es el culpable de los muertos y todos los gobiernos pagan al precio que sea con tal que no saquen los meros culpables, que son ellos.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00f3lo sacan lo que diga los malos gobernantes, \u00bfD\u00f3nde se fueron los periodistas y fot\u00f3grafos para mostrar los dem\u00e1s muertos que mataron sus guaruras del presidente de su lado contrario? No les importa esos periodistas y fot\u00f3grafos porque ah\u00ed no ganan dinero y tambi\u00e9n porque son indios que murieron y no importa si son de partidos.\u00a0 Total, son indios. \u00bfEsto no se entiende como racismo? Y hablan en contra del racismo<\/p>\n<p>Y todos los que disque trabajadores de los medios de paga, ya lo est\u00e1n viendo la paga en sus manos vendiendo mentiras, acomodando mentiras, sin importar la grave situaci\u00f3n hasta para ellos. No lo sacan lo que es la verdad, porque les sale muy barato la verdad.\u00a0 Qu\u00e9 verg\u00fcenza, intelectuales de la mentira.<\/p>\n<p>Llegan tarde en el lugar de los hechos, s\u00f3lo para sacar im\u00e1genes de muertos y no investigan las razones de d\u00e9cadas de injusticias.<\/p>\n<p>Eso s\u00ed son puntuales y los acompa\u00f1an a sus jefes de paga, o sea los malos gobernantes cuando va ir a mostrarse y tomarse la foto, y que ya est\u00e1 bajo control el lugar donde lo mataron al buen presidente y su equipo por \u201csalvajes indios\u201d.\u00a0 Eso s\u00ed la sacan todo lo que dicen los malos gobiernos.<\/p>\n<p>En cosa de minutos los ponen en los medios y mala la informaci\u00f3n, y las borran en el noticiero inmediatamente, para que se vea y se olvide r\u00e1pido, para no exigir qui\u00e9nes son los verdaderos responsables de lo que le pasa a los ind\u00edgenas de este pa\u00eds.\u00a0 \u00c9sa es la funci\u00f3n de los medios de paga.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Carajo!, bien los sabemos que los ricos no son ricos porque trabajan mucho de sol a sol, no se sudan y se apestan del sudor, no se accidentan en la m\u00e1quinas, no son mutilados por eso, no se rosan en los cuerpos por tanto sudor, no se quedan sordos por tanto <strong><em>ruidero<\/em><\/strong> escuchando durante 8 a 12 horas, no se enferman por cansancio, no se estresan porque no tienen paga por su medicina, por comida, por su cuenta de rentas, por su educaci\u00f3n de sus hijos.\u00a0 No les hace falta nada, gracias a nosotras y nosotros las y los trabajadores del campo y de la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p>Sin la explotaci\u00f3n que nos hacen no ser\u00edan ricos.<\/p>\n<p>Este mundo en que nos tienen ya no sirve.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es nuestra paga que nos dan en este mundo capitalista? La miseria, la explotaci\u00f3n, el maltrato, la injusticia.<\/p>\n<p>Hoy nos tratan a todos igual, trabajadores del campo y la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p>Nos maltratan los caporales que son los presidentes municipales, nos maltratan los mayordomos que son los gobernadores y nos maltratan el capataz que es gobierno federal, por \u00f3rdenes del patr\u00f3n: el capitalismo neoliberal.<\/p>\n<p>Cu\u00e1nto nos duele de todo lo que nos hacen a nosotras y nosotros los ind\u00edgenas de todo el pa\u00eds, de lo que le han hecho a las compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena.<\/p>\n<p>Y si nos defendemos, ah, somos \u201csalvajes\u201d, \u201catrasados mentales\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Si robamos una bolsita de sabrita, a la c\u00e1rcel.\u00a0 Y si roba 40 mil millones el Juan Sabines Guti\u00e9rrez no hay c\u00e1rcel, sigue libre para estar robando m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p>Que mierda, que horror, que racista.\u00a0 No hay peri\u00f3dico de 8 columnas en M\u00e9xico para eso que publique.<\/p>\n<p>Injusticia para nosotras y nosotros los pueblos explotados. \u00a0NUNCA hubo justicia para nuestros tatarabuelos, no hubo justicia antes del 1968, no hubo justicia por la matanza del 68, las matanzas de mujeres en ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, la de matanza de las y los ni\u00f1os de la guarder\u00eda ABC, no ha habido justicia por Acteal, ni para los 43 desaparecidos alumnos de Ayotzinapa.\u00a0 Y tantas y tantas injusticias.<\/p>\n<p>Pueblo de M\u00e9xico: organic\u00e9monos y luchemos como lo que somos, as\u00ed como nosotros ind\u00edgenas estamos organizados con un nuestro nuevo sistema de gobernar.<\/p>\n<p>Pero no nos digan c\u00f3mo.\u00a0 S\u00ed queremos que nos compartamos nuestras experiencias, porque no sabemos c\u00f3mo es la vida de obreras y obreros, no sabemos c\u00f3mo es la vida de maestras y maestros y as\u00ed de cada qui\u00e9n, pero s\u00ed entre todas y todos s\u00ed sabemos que s\u00ed queremos Justicia, Libertad y Democracia, en eso s\u00ed no tenemos diferencias.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed como nos tienen en este sistema es imposible, ejemplo: Yo diputado federal del pueblo originario y me siento en mi curul y al lado del diputado federal Diego Fern\u00e1ndez de Ceballos, terrateniente y casa teniente, y me pongo a discutir la ley agraria, que sea equitativo el reparto de la tierra, o sea que nadie m\u00e1s y nadie menos debe tener m\u00e1s tierra. \u00a0La pregunta es \u00bfvoy a poder llegarme de acuerdo con \u00e9l, yo ind\u00edgena y \u00e9l terrateniente?<\/p>\n<p>Este sistema ya no sirve, ya est\u00e1 podrido, ya no tiene remedio, se va caer por pedazo y va llevar muertos al caerse.\u00a0 Es mejor salgamos de ah\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>Mejor nos organicemos para construir una nueva casa, es decir una nueva sociedad<\/p>\n<p>Nadie va luchar por nosotros.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed como nosotras y nosotros, zapatistas, nadie lleg\u00f3 y luch\u00f3 por nosotras y nosotros, es decir nosotras y nosotros tuvimos que dar nuestra vida por querer m\u00e1s nuestra vida.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed que pueblo de magisterio organizarse y luchen hasta el final; pueblo de servidores de la salud humana de M\u00e9xico organ\u00edcense porque ya tienen la tormenta sobre ustedes.\u00a0 Y as\u00ed cada sector de trabajadores nos va pasar a llevar la tormenta.<\/p>\n<p>A organizarse pueblo de M\u00e9xico y pueblo pobre del mundo.<\/p>\n<p>Gracias.<\/p>\n<p>Desde las monta\u00f1as del Sureste Mexicano.<\/p>\n<p>Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Oventik, Chiapas, M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n<p>29 de julio del 2016.[:en]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MG_8992.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18014\" src=\"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MG_8992-350x233.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_8992\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MG_8992-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MG_8992-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MG_8992.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">WORDS OF THE GENERAL COMMAND OF THE EZLN, IN THE VOICE OF SUBCOMANDANTE INSURGENTE MOIS\u00c9S, AT THE OPENING OF THE ZAPATISTAS&#8217; PARTICIPATION IN <strong><em>CompARTE, <\/em><\/strong>CARACOL OF OVENTIK, CHIAPAS, MEXICO, MORNING OF JULY 29, 2016.<\/h4>\n<p>Listen (in Spanish): [podcast]https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/Audios\/submoi_compArte1.mp3[\/podcast]<\/p>\n<p>In the name of the <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> bases of support of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, I want to tell you how we feel about the things that they do to us as originary peoples of Mexico.

It\u2019s about what the capitalist system does to us and the conditions that it forces on us, especially those of us who are ORIGINARY PEOPLES in this country called Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to talk about how we Zapatista men and women feel about what they did to our indigenous brothers and sisters from the town of San Juan Chamula, on June 23 of this year.<\/p>\n<p>What happened there pains us as Zapatistas.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI mean what really happened there, not what the paid media (those who sell out for a few pennies) say happened there.<\/p>\n<p>We know perfectly that the paid media says that in Chamula the municipal president from the <em>Verde Ecologista <\/em>(PVEM, Green Ecological Party of Mexico) was killed. Because this is the party of the overseer Velasco,<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2016\/07\/31\/words-of-the-general-command-of-the-ezln-in-the-voice-of-subcomandante-insurgente-moises-at-the-opening-of-the-zapatistas-participation-in-comparte-caracol-of-oventik-chiapas-mexico-mor\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EnlaceZapatista+%28Enlace+Zapatista%29#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> the paid media are there crying and lamenting what happened, but they say nothing of the rest of the dead. They say nothing of those who later died in their homes or of those whose dead or dying bodies were taken away by their families. For the government and the press those deaths don\u2019t matter. There were actually dozens of dead, not just five corrupt officials.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone in Chamula and in all of the indigenous communities of the Altos of Chiapas knows what really happened. They know that it was the guards of the corrupt municipal president (of the <em>Verde<\/em> party) who initiated the shootout and who killed and injured many of the people who were in the plaza. It wasn\u2019t until later that another armed group arrived to finish off these (Verde) officials. Yes, finish them off, because they had already been killed with clubs and machetes.<\/p>\n<p>The government and its journalist employees want to present what happened as just a small problem. They talk about the municipal president as a \u201cpoor thing.\u201d They claim that he was simply trying to respond to the people\u2019s complaints but that those \u201csavage\u201d Chamulans, as the press calls them, had to go and kill him.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is a lie. Every single thing that they have said in the paid media is a lie. It is a lie that was bought for a few pennies, and the paid media would rather interview \u201cexperts,\u201d as they call them, than go and actually investigate what happened.<\/p>\n<p>We are not going to report what happened in detail. We will leave this task to those who were the real victims that day and who have been the victims for a long time now. They will know perfectly well how and when to explain things.<\/p>\n<p>But what we will tell you is that what followed pains us to no end: how the paid media began to report a bunch of nonsense and lies about indigenous peoples. Even those media who claim to be very progressive did the same thing. It pains us how they made a corrupt politician into a hero. It pains us that they lied to everyone, becoming accomplices to the crime. And it pains us how they knelt before Velasco so he could could climb on their backs and present himself as some great savior. It\u2019s on them [the media] that they sell out for mere pennies.<\/p>\n<p>It does not matter to us that the people of Chamula are not Zapatistas. They are our brothers. Those people who killed each other in the community of San Juan Chamula are indigenous peoples, originary peoples, part of our originary race. It brings us no satisfaction to see indigenous people killing one another, even if they support the political party system. It gives us no pleasure to see indigenous people presented as \u201csavages\u201d by those who are the true savages\u2014the criminal government, their political party supporters, and their obedient paid press.<\/p>\n<p>What matters to us is who planned this, who wanted things to happen this way.<\/p>\n<p>We suffer an immense and seemingly incurable pain from all those things that those above have done to us.<\/p>\n<p>We understand clearly that no one else can cure this pain. Only we can do so that, and to do so we will have to work and work very hard.<\/p>\n<p>All of the bad things that happen in our communities, towns, barrios, and neighborhoods HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES, RELIGIONS, AND DRUG TRAFFICKERS THAT MEDDLE THERE.<\/p>\n<p>They use us indigenous people for anything and everything that those above want.<\/p>\n<p>They want to turn us into servants of those above by having us work as mayors, councilmen, and state and federal representatives. Why do they want us to do this? So that we will learn to make money without working, so that we will learn to be corrupt while we disguise ourselves as servants of the people.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what they see us as, because even garbage is good for fertilizer. In our case they don\u2019t even see us as garbage. We are nothing but shit to those above.<\/p>\n<p>They treat us like shits, and because they\u2019ve already made use of that shit they have to throw it out, however they feel like.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot even say that they treat us like animals or pets because they at least treat their pets like living things.<\/p>\n<p>They look at us indigenous peoples of the world and say \u201cbackward,\u201d \u201cuncivilized,\u201d \u201cnuisances,\u201d \u201cprimitives,\u201d \u201crevolting,\u201d and countless other absurdities that they have said about us and done to us.<\/p>\n<p>For centuries and centuries we have resisted all of this.<\/p>\n<p>We are flesh, blood, and bone, just like them.<\/p>\n<p>But we indigenous men and women are not hurting ANYONE.<\/p>\n<p>They have wanted to destroy and disappear us, but they will never succeed.<\/p>\n<p>They have divided us with religion, miseducation in the schools, and the political party system. They have imposed on us another culture, a bad politics, and a harmful ideology.<\/p>\n<p><em>Compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> from the national and international Sixth, brothers and sisters of the world:<\/p>\n<p>We say to you clearly: we are not the shit of those above to be treated like this. We are humans of blood, bone, and flesh just like they are. We are not the same color as they are, but we are living beings.<\/p>\n<p>We do not want to be bad like they are, those who use other humans.<\/p>\n<p>Yet today what they are trying to show is that it is we indigenous that are bad, that we kill one another as happened in San Juan Chamula.<\/p>\n<p>The ones who wanted this to happen are the political parties above, from the ruling PRI and the PVEM and all of the political parties.<\/p>\n<p>That is what happens with the other political parties too, including those who say they are on the left. They use us as their shock troops, but these parties are the ones who are backwards and evil, and yet we are always the ones who end up paying the price.<\/p>\n<p>I am not saying that we originary peoples are all good; we have our own problems but we can resolve them ourselves. What happened in Chamula was the fault of the political parties and the leaders of those parties.<\/p>\n<p>The media doesn\u2019t mention this because they don\u2019t get paid to tell the truth. On the contrary, they make more money by hiding information.<\/p>\n<p>The journalists who work for the newspapers have to do what their bosses tell them if they want to get paid. They have already lost their dignity, and the same goes for the religious leaders who are well aware that they are deceiving us. They too have lost their dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Who taught them to be corrupt, to steal and crook? Those above did.<\/p>\n<p>The municipal president from San Juan Chamula who died was from the <em>Verde<\/em> party and he didn\u2019t want to pay what he owed to the indigenous peoples, his own people. They had already said to him many times before to hand over the money already! But he didn\u2019t open his ears and listen to them. Where did this municipal president learn to act this way? He learned it in the service of the bad government.<\/p>\n<p>For decades and decades and hundreds of years they have deceived, mistreated, and used us, which is why no one pays attention to us indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n<p>The teachings of above are bad, horrible. Those indigenous who have let themselves be used by those above and become mayors, councilmen, like the councilwoman from Las Margaritas (Florinda from the PAN) in La Realidad, and the ex-federal representative of the CIOAC (Antonio Hern\u00e1ndez Cruz), both Tojolabales. They have learned to ignore the communities and not take them into account. They are the ones who planned the murder of our <em>compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Galeano<em>,<\/em> a teacher of the Zapatista Little School. We have not forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>The bad things that they want to teach us could fill volumes. For example, I\u2019m indigenous, a small landholder with ten hectares.\u00a0 But I begin to call myself a rancher. Yet an <em>ejido<\/em> commoner who has the right to 20 hectares\u2026they are not considered a rancher even though they have 20 hectares. But those 20 hectares aren\u2019t worth anything; what\u2019s considered worthwhile is to be a property owner.\u00a0 So now those people that now consider themselves ranchers believe that they are no longer indigenous. And that\u2019s not even counting those who have become mayors or councilmen, because they now consider themselves middle class. They even begin to say that they don\u2019t know how to speak their indigenous language.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it that we indigenous peoples have to pay with our lives just so that others can have money to eat?<\/p>\n<p>All of the paid media compete over the price at which they will sell their photos of the dead in San Juan Chamula. But they don\u2019t report who is responsible for the deaths, and all levels of government pay whatever is necessary so that the\u00a0 names of those actually responsible\u2014they themselves\u2014don\u2019t come out in print.<\/p>\n<p>The press only prints what the bad governments say. Why didn\u2019t the reporters and photographers show the rest of the dead? Why didn\u2019t they show those who were killed by the municipal president\u2019s guards, his opponents? The media doesn\u2019t care about that because it doesn\u2019t make them any money, and because the people who died there were Indians, and it doesn\u2019t even matter that those Indians belonged to political parties. They were all just Indians. Isn\u2019t this racism? From the same people who supposedly speak out against racism.<\/p>\n<p>Those who supposedly \u201cwork\u201d for the paid media have already received their pay for selling and situating lies, despite the gravity of the situation, even for them. They do not print the truth because the truth doesn\u2019t make them any money. Shame on them, they are the masterminds of falsehood.<\/p>\n<p>They arrive late to the scene of the crime just so that they can take pictures of the dead, but not to investigate the causes of decades of injustice.<\/p>\n<p>They do arrive on time when their paymasters, that is the bad government, want to show the press what supposedly happened. The bad government gives them an opportunity to snap a picture and tells them that everything is under control in that place where the good president and his guards were killed by \u201cIndian savages.\u201d They print everything that the bad government says on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>Within minutes they release this misinformation only to delete it just as quickly. They want people to see it but then forget it quickly. They do this so that people don\u2019t demand to know who is really responsible for what has happened to the indigenous peoples of this country. This is the function of the paid media.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it! We all know that the rich aren\u2019t rich because they work from dawn to dusk. They don\u2019t have to sweat and stink of sweat. They don\u2019t have to worry about being mutilated in accidents with machinery. Their bodies aren\u2019t covered in sweat. They don\u2019t end up deaf because they are subjected to unbearable noise for 8 to 12 hours a day. They don\u2019t get sick from fatigue; they don\u2019t get stressed because they don\u2019t have money for medicine, for food, for their rent, or for the education of their children. They don\u2019t lack anything, thanks to us, the workers in the country and the city.<\/p>\n<p>Without exploiting us, they would not be rich.<\/p>\n<p>This world they have forced on us has come apart.<\/p>\n<p>What is our pay in this capitalist world? Poverty, exploitation, mistreatment, and injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Today they treat us all the same whether we are workers from the country and the city.<\/p>\n<p>Their foremen, the municipal presidents, mistreat us; their butlers, the governors, mistreat us; and their overseers, the federal government, mistreat us. All of them are acting on the orders of their boss: neoliberal capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>We have suffered so much from all of the things that they have done to us, the indigenous peoples from across the whole country, and what they have done to the <em>compa\u00f1eras<\/em> and <em>compa\u00f1eros<\/em> of the National Indigenous Congress.<\/p>\n<p>But if we defend ourselves, then ah yes, we are \u201cbackward-thinking\u201d \u201csavages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we steal a little bag of potato chips, we go to jail. But if the government of Juan Sabines Guti\u00e9rrez steals 40 billion pesos, no one goes to jail. They walk away scot-free so that they can continue to steal.<\/p>\n<p>What a bunch of shit! What horror! How racist! There isn\u2019t a single mainstream newspaper in Mexico that would publish this.<\/p>\n<p>There is only injustice for us, the exploited peoples. There was NEVER justice for our great-grandparents; there was no justice before 1968; there was no justice for the slaughter of \u201968; there was no justice for the slaughter of women in the city of Juarez, or for the slaughter of the children in the ABC Daycare. There has been no justice for Acteal. There has been no justice for the 43 disappeared students from Ayotzinapa, nor has there been any justice for the many many other injustices.<\/p>\n<p>People of Mexico: we must all organize ourselves and struggle as we indigenous peoples are organized with our new system of government.<\/p>\n<p>But it isn\u2019t up to us to say how you must organize. Yes, we want to share all of our experiences, but we don\u2019t know what the particularities of life are like for the workers, for the teachers, or for other people. But we all know that we want Justice, Freedom, and Democracy, and in this goal is our commonality.<\/p>\n<p>What this system imposes on us is an impossible situation. For example: if I am part of an originary people and a federal representative and my congressional seat is next to federal deputy Diego Fernandez de Ceballos, the large landowner and land lord, and I begin to discuss the agrarian law, proposing the equal division of the land, that no one should have more land than anyone else, how would it be possible for me to come to an agreement with him, me an indigenous person, and him, a large landowner?<\/p>\n<p>This system doesn\u2019t work, it is rotten, it cannot be fixed. It will fall piece by piece and people will die as a result. We better figure out how to get out of there.<\/p>\n<p>We had better organize ourselves to build a new house, that is, a new society.<\/p>\n<p>No one is going to struggle for us. Just like for us Zapatistas, no one came here and struggled for us. In other words, we had to give our lives because we want more than just our lives.<\/p>\n<p>So, teachers, organize and struggle until the end. Public health workers of Mexico, organize yourselves because the storm is already coming for you. The same goes for every sector of workers: the storm is coming for us.<\/p>\n<p>People of Mexico and poor people of the world: organize yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>From the mountains of Southeastern Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s.
