FRAGMENTOS DE LA REALIDAD I.<\/h3>\n

Mayo del 2014.<\/p>\n

Madrugada\u2026\u00a0 Deben ser como las 2 o las 3, vaya usted a saber.\u00a0 Suena el silencio aqu\u00ed en la realidad.\u00a0 \u00bfDije \u201csuena el silencio\u201d?\u00a0 Pues s\u00ed, porque el silencio ac\u00e1 tiene su sonido propio, as\u00ed como un aserrar de grillos, y luego otros al frente, m\u00e1s fuerte y en contra, otros siempre constantes, abajo.\u00a0 No hay luz cerca.\u00a0 Y ahora es la lluvia sumando su propio silencio.\u00a0 De por s\u00ed ya es su tiempo de lluvia ac\u00e1, pero no alcanza todav\u00eda para herir la tierra.\u00a0 Apenas si la rasgu\u00f1a, como golpeando quedito.\u00a0 Un ara\u00f1azo aqu\u00ed, alg\u00fan charquito como no queriendo all\u00e1.\u00a0 Como avisando.\u00a0 Pero el sol, la<\/em><\/strong> calor, r\u00e1pido lo repellan la tierra.\u00a0 No es su tiempo del lodo.\u00a0 No todav\u00eda.\u00a0 Tiempo de sombra s\u00ed.\u00a0 Bueno, de por s\u00ed siempre es su tiempo de sombra.\u00a0 Donde quiera anda, no importa la hora.\u00a0 Hasta cuando m\u00e1s fiero est\u00e1 el sol, por ah\u00ed anda la sombra, peg\u00e1ndose nom\u00e1s a las paredes, \u00e1rboles, piedras, gente.\u00a0 Como si la luz m\u00e1s fuerza le diera.\u00a0 Ah, pero en la noche\u2026 en la madrugada, \u00e9se es su mero tiempo de sombra.\u00a0 As\u00ed como en el d\u00eda te alivia, en la madrugada te despierta como dici\u00e9ndote \u201ct\u00fa d\u00f3nde, t\u00fa qu\u00e9\u201d.\u00a0 Y uno balbuceando las respuestas de la duerme-vela.\u00a0 Hasta que ya claro puedes responder, responderte: \u201cen la realidad\u201d.<\/p>\n

FRAGMENTS OF LA REALIDAD I.<\/h3>\n

May 2014.<\/p>\n

The wee hours of the morning\u2026it must be like 2 or 3 o\u2019clock, who knows. It sounds like silence here in reality [La Realidad]. Did I say \u201cit sounds like silence?\u201d Well it does, because the silence here has its own sound, like the chirping of crickets; some sounds up front, stronger and dissonant; and others always constant, below. There is no light nearby. And now the rain is adding its own silence. The rainy season has arrived here already, but it is not yet heavy enough to wound the earth. Just enough to scratch it a little, a constant pitter-patter. A little scratch here, barely a puddle over there. As if to give a warning. But the sun, the heat,[i] hardens the earth quickly. It is not time for mud; not yet. It is the time of shadow. True, it\u2019s always the time of shadow. It goes anywhere and everywhere, without regard for time. Even where the sun is the most ferocious, the shadow can still be found, clinging to walls, trees, rocks, people. As if the light gave it even more strength. Ah, but night\u2026in the earliest hours of the morning, this is truly the time of [the] shadow. Just as during the day it brings you relief, in the tiny hours of the morning it awakens you as if to say, \u201cand what about you? Where are you?\u201d And you stammer in your slumber, until you can answer clearly\u2014answer to yourself\u2014\u201cin reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– Pues la mera verdad no sabr\u00eda decirte.\u00a0 Se supone que en la ciudad su costumbre, como quien dice que su modo, es que, cuando hay un difunto en la familia, pues los dem\u00e1s de la familia y amistades la visitan a la familia para hacerle saber que la apoyan en su dolor.\u00a0 Le dicen \u201cdar el p\u00e9same\u201d, creo.\u00a0 S\u00ed, eso mero, como decirles que no est\u00e1n solos.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– Bueno, lo que yo he alcanzado a leer es que la mayor\u00eda de las alumnas y alumnos de la escuelita dijeron que se sent\u00edan como en familia, que los hab\u00edan tratado como familia.\u00a0 Bueno, algunos dijeron que mejor que en su familia.\u00a0 O sea que como quien dice hay de familias a familias, por ejemplo en\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– Puede ser.\u00a0 S\u00ed, puede que alguna, alguno, sienta como quien dice la necesidad de venir a darle el p\u00e9same a la familia del finado Galeano o a los compas de aqu\u00ed, o a los dos.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– No est\u00e1 tan f\u00e1cil, porque ac\u00e1 est\u00e1 muy retirado para ellos.\u00a0 \u00bfQu\u00e9 ser\u00e1, digamos que unas 7 horas desde San Crist\u00f3bal?\u00a0 Ah\u00ed est\u00e1, les queda lejos.\u00a0 Y pues la muerte violenta no avisa, no tiene su calendario apartado ni su geograf\u00eda marcada, sino que ah\u00ed nom\u00e1s entra y se sienta, manque no la hayamos invitado.\u00a0 S\u00ed, como que entra tirando la puerta.<\/em><\/p>\n

No es como la muerte de edad o de enfermedad, que como que poco a poquito mete una pata, luego la mano, y luego ah\u00ed se est\u00e1 en un rinc\u00f3n, esperando, hasta que se acomoda y dice \u201caqu\u00ed yo mando\u201d.\u00a0 Ah\u00ed como que uno se prepara, se va haciendo a la idea pues.\u00a0 Pero la muerte violenta no.\u00a0 \u00c9sa es como que te golpea, te tumba, te aturde, te da de patadas, te garrotea, te machetea, te balea, te mata, viene y te da un tiro en la cabeza y todav\u00eda se burla de ti.\u00a0 As\u00ed hace.<\/em><\/p>\n

Entonces, si t\u00fa haces como quien dice un plan de compartici\u00f3n, o una reuni\u00f3n, o como los cursos de la escuelita zapatista, pues dices tal d\u00eda en tal lugar, y avisas con tiempo, y cada quien en su lugar hace tambi\u00e9n su plan, de su trabajo, de su estudio, de su familia, y se hace su viaje.\u00a0 Y t\u00fa tambi\u00e9n, pues con tiempo preparas d\u00f3nde vas a recibir, qu\u00e9 le vas a ofrecer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pero como la muerte violenta no avisa, pues ya no hay tiempo para preparar nada, ni el que llega ni el que recibe.\u00a0 Y luego, \u00bfde qu\u00e9 van a hablar?\u00a0 Si aunque se miran unos con otros, est\u00e1 el silencio con su sonido haci\u00e9ndote que te calles, como si la muerte no s\u00f3lo se hubiera llevado al difunto y tambi\u00e9n se te hubieran muerto las palabras.<\/em><\/p>\n

Entonces pues est\u00e1 dif\u00edcil que vengan, pero no porque no quieran, o no lo quieran al Galeano, o a los compas de La Realidad, no, sino porque no tienen modo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, \u00bfd\u00f3nde los vas a meter si este caracol est\u00e1 muy peque\u00f1o y rodeado otra vez de esos paramilitares? \u00a0\u00bfY qu\u00e9 les vas a dar de comer?\u00a0 \u00bfY el ba\u00f1o si quieren ir a 25 o a 50 o ba\u00f1arse porque la<\/strong> calor o porque la lluvia?<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– Ah s\u00ed, viera que esas visitas lo traen su propia comida y su nailon para la lluvia, pues ya cambia un poco, pero no mucho, porque como ya lo explic\u00f3 la promotora de salud, hay que cuidar como quien dice la higiene, o sea que como quien dice que no se haga el cochinero.\u00a0 Porque luego hay gente que es muy sucia, que ni siquiera le atina, sobre todo los pinches hombres.\u00a0 Porque nosotras como mujeres que somos\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bfEh?\u00a0 S\u00ed, por las enfermedades.\u00a0 S\u00ed, como el c\u00f3lera.\u00a0 \u00bfEh? \u00a0No, \u00e9sa es la c\u00f3lera, el coraje, la rabia.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– \u00bfC\u00f3mo?\u00a0 No, las buenas visitas avisan antes, no se aparecen as\u00ed de pronto.\u00a0 Cuando una visita llega sin avisar le dicen, o dec\u00edan, \u201cgorr\u00f3n\u201d, o \u201cgorrona\u201d, seg\u00fan, que no s\u00e9 por qu\u00e9 les dec\u00edan as\u00ed, o dicen, pero quiere decir que lleg\u00f3 y no es que lo invitaron sino que, como quien dice, se auto invit\u00f3.\u00a0 S\u00ed, la muerte es como un \u201cgorr\u00f3n\u201d, o \u201cgorrona\u201d, seg\u00fan, como una visita que llega sin avisar, que no pide permiso.\u00a0 S\u00ed, ya s\u00e9 que no es lo mismo, pero se me ocurri\u00f3.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– S\u00ed, creo que si les dices que tal d\u00eda se puede, pues uno que otro, otra, llega, pero no todos llegan, unos cuantos s\u00ed.\u00a0 De por s\u00ed.\u00a0 Pero manque no lleguen todos, de por s\u00ed llegan aunque de otra forma.\u00a0 Como \u201cescuchas\u201d, pero al rev\u00e9s-<\/em><\/p>\n

Porque a la muerte tambi\u00e9n se le puede derrotar con otro calendario y otra geograf\u00eda.\u00a0 \u00bfQu\u00e9 por qu\u00e9 digo que \u201ctambi\u00e9n\u201d?\u00a0 Ah, yo s\u00e9 lo que digo.\u00a0 No me hagas caso ahorita.\u00a0 Tal vez otro d\u00eda te explico\u2026 o lo miras.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– \u00bfC\u00f3mo cu\u00e1ntos?\u00a0 Ni idea.\u00a0 Pero creo que pueden ser varios, o varias, seg\u00fan, porque ah\u00ed veo que est\u00e1n levantando otra champa, y est\u00e1n barriendo, limpiando.\u00a0 S\u00ed, como si esperaran visitas.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– \u00bfCu\u00e1ndo mero?\u00a0 Pues preg\u00fantalo con el Emiliano o el Max o con SubMoi que ah\u00ed lo vi hablando con una j\u00f3vena<\/strong> de aqu\u00ed.\u00a0 Aunque luego iba con los comit\u00e9s.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– \u00bfYo?\u00a0 Pues esperando.\u00a0 Ya que lleguen a un acuerdo los comit\u00e9s de zona, seguro me dicen que escriba y pues escribo<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a1Mira!\u2026 \u00a1Ah\u00ed!\u2026 donde est\u00e1 esa lucecita.\u00a0 \u00bfLo viste ese animalito qu\u00e9 raro es?\u00a0 S\u00ed, parece como un perro\u2026 o m\u00e1s bien un gato.\u00a0 S\u00ed, como un gato-perro.\u00a0 Est\u00e1 raro, \u00bfno?<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

– S\u00ed, de por s\u00ed es rara la realidad.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fragmento de la Hoja 4 del Reporte de Investigaci\u00f3n sobre el asesinato del compa\u00f1ero Galeano.\u00a0 Interrogaci\u00f3n con la compa\u00f1era S., zapatista, base de apoyo de La Realidad, edad 16 entrada en 17 a\u00f1os.\u00a0 Fecha del 11 de mayo del 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(OJO: el siguiente texto contiene palabras altisonantes que pueden herir la susceptibilidad de la realeza europea y aspirantes al trono.\u00a0 -Aqu\u00ed entre nos, nada que no se escuche en cualquier rinc\u00f3n del mundo de abajo-.\u00a0 Va).<\/p>\n

\u201cHoy es 11 de mayo de 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n

Para eso aqu\u00ed est\u00e1 presente una compa\u00f1era que nos va a platicar de lo que dijeron, de lo que dijo m\u00e1s bien, porque es una persona, el otro no habl\u00f3. Eso es lo que nos va a platicar la compa\u00f1era. Plat\u00edcanos, compa\u00f1era.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>Pues miren, compa Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s, le voy a platicar lo que me dijo ese asesino. <\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo fue que te dijo eso?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>El d\u00eda s\u00e1bado.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo a qu\u00e9 horas?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>Por ah\u00ed a las 9.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfLas 9 de la ma\u00f1ana?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed. Como a las 9 me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Te haces mucho \u2013me dijo, pero yo no le quise contestar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Luego me dijo \u201cp\u00e1rate\u201d, y me par\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Esc\u00fachalo lo que te voy a decir \u2013yo me par\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfY c\u00f3mo se llama ese hombre?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1eras Selena: <\/em><\/strong>Se llama R.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>R. S\u00ed, s\u00edguele. <\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>Me dijo \u201cescucha lo que te voy a decir\u201d, y yo lo escuch\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

Me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Disfr\u00fatalo tu Caracol. \u00c1ndalo en todas partes porque \u00e9se lo vamos a tomar muy pronto y ese Caracol va a ser muy pronto para nosotros. Hasta de gusto ah\u00ed voy a ir a parar mi casa cuando ya sea para nosotros, porque muy pronto lo vamos a tomar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yo le contest\u00e9:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Pues si as\u00ed, si se sienten hombre, como ustedes lo dicen que s\u00ed tienen esos verga y esos huevos, que vivo o muerto lo van a tomar el Caracol, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 no lo toman si de verdad que s\u00ed lo tienen los huevos?<\/em><\/p>\n

Y \u00e9l me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013S\u00ed lo tengo los huevos y la verga, \u00bflo quieres ver? \u00ad\u2013me dijo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ya yo lo contest\u00e9:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Si lo quieres mostrar, mu\u00e9stralo a tu madre \u2013le dije yo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ya cuando \u00e9l me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00bfEst\u00e1s muy enojada porque lo matamos tu marido?<\/em><\/p>\n

Y le dije yo: <\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Ese compa\u00f1ero no es nuestro marido. Ese compa\u00f1ero es un compa\u00f1ero de nosotros que lucha por nuestros pueblos, no lucha para recibir migajas del gobierno. <\/em><\/p>\n

Y cuando se empez\u00f3 a re\u00edr ah\u00ed con su compa\u00f1ero, cuando me dijo\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se llama su compa\u00f1ero?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>M.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cuando me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013El que lo vamos a tener en nuestras manos es el Ra\u00fal, el Jorge y el Ren\u00e9. \u00c9sos los vamos a tener en nuestras manos y los vamos a matar como lo matamos la peluda <\/em>(Nota: \u201cLa peluda\u201d es el nombre despectivo con que los paramilitares de la CIOAC-H se refieren al compa\u00f1ero Galeano).<\/p>\n

Ya yo le dije pues si lo quieren hacer que lo hagan, y que lo intenten, pero que entren en el Caracol. Que no entren cuando no haya gente, como lo hicieron en la escuela, que entraron, pudieron porque no hay gente. Yo le dije: si de verdad son\u00a0 hombres tomen el Caracol, y ah\u00ed se re\u00edan y me dec\u00edan:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Agradec\u00e9 que no lo matamos tu pap\u00e1.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM:<\/em><\/strong>\u00bfAs\u00ed te dijo?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Que no matamos tu pap\u00e1 pero para la pr\u00f3xima. <\/em><\/p>\n

Y yo le respond\u00ed:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00bfY por qu\u00e9 no lo mataron?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Pues porque no lo vimos d\u00f3nde estaba.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Pues si lo van a hacer, h\u00e1ganlo. En el Caracol est\u00e1 ah\u00ed. Ah\u00ed est\u00e1.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fue cuando me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00bfLo sabes qui\u00e9n lo mat\u00f3 la peluda?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yo le respond\u00ed:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00bfC\u00f3mo lo voy a saber si no estaba yo cuando lo asesinaron nuestro compa\u00f1ero?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Yo fui el que lo mat\u00f3. Yo le di un balazo en la cabeza y se fue a la verga. As\u00ed lo vamos a hacer. Los vamos a tener en nuestras manos. Los que ya te dije as\u00ed lo vamos a hacer. Pero ese lleva a todos su tiempo. \u00bfSabes qu\u00e9? Ya nos tienen hasta la madre \u2013me dijo\u2013, porque ya no es justo lo que hacen. Por eso nos tienen hasta la madre.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pero yo le respond\u00ed:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Nosotros somos que nos tienen hasta la madre lo que est\u00e1n haciendo. Y m\u00e1s cuando lo escuchamos que nuestro compa\u00f1ero, nosotras como compa\u00f1eras lo vamos a ir a recoger el cuerpo. Ah\u00ed nos subieron un tanto m\u00e1s hasta la madre \u2013y es donde se re\u00eda.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013C\u00f3mo no, si son todos sus maridos \u2013as\u00ed me dijo.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Y eso de que se burlaba, que dec\u00eda que ellos hacen, que lo hacen lo que dicen, \u00bfno? Porque mencion\u00f3 algo as\u00ed de Junta de Buen Gobierno, \u00bfno? \u00bfO no dijo eso de que\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

(inaudible)<\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Aj\u00e1.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00f3lo dice:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Nosotros si es que vamos a matar, lo vamos a quebrar de una vez. Ustedes son la Junta de Buen Gobierno, son buenos gobiernos, aunque les hagamos lo que les hagamos no nos van a hacer nada. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Porque son buenos gobiernos.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yo le dije:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013S\u00ed, claro que somos buenos gobiernos, pero para tanto ya no lo somos \u2013yo le dije as\u00ed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00bfPero qu\u00e9 me van a hacer ustedes? Ni aunque lo sepan qui\u00e9n es mero el que mat\u00f3 no nos van a\u00a0 hacer nada, porque ustedes son la Junta de Buen Gobierno que protegen a todos. Yo no temo \u2013dice\u2013. No temo pues, por eso te digo que yo lo mat\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yo le respond\u00ed:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Ojal\u00e1 que as\u00ed sea. Cuando el d\u00eda que te toque ojal\u00e1 que as\u00ed te plantes de verga como te est\u00e1s plantando conmigo.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013De por s\u00ed lo voy a hacer. \u00bfPero cu\u00e1ndo? Ese d\u00eda no va a llegar \u2013dice\u2013, porque ustedes son la Junta de Buen Gobierno, son buenos gobiernos y no nos van a hacer nada.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfAlgo m\u00e1s te acuerdas de todo lo que te dijo? Algo as\u00ed de que se re\u00eda y se carcajeaba.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed se re\u00eda y su compa\u00f1\u00eda se gritaba, no respondi\u00f3.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>\u00bfEl M no habl\u00f3, s\u00f3lo se re\u00eda?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>No habl\u00f3 nada, s\u00f3lo se re\u00eda. Ah\u00ed estaba el M, le pic\u00f3 la espalda para que ya no siga diciendo nada.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Ah. \u00bfLe pic\u00f3 la espalda?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed, le pic\u00f3 la espalda y se empezaron a gritar. Me dijo:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Mejor vete ya a donde te vas a ir a tu mandado \u2013me dijo. No le respond\u00ed nada.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Bueno, si te acuerdas al rato de lo que te haya dicho entonces le podemos seguir haciendo el trabajo. Esto para que as\u00ed se va juntando la informaci\u00f3n, porque en este caso \u00e9l mismo dijo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Y \u00e9l mismo sali\u00f3 a tapar. Y dices que entonces todav\u00eda te pregunta eso de que si sab\u00edas qui\u00e9n mat\u00f3, qui\u00e9n asesin\u00f3 al compa\u00f1ero Galeano. Y donde dice que es \u00e9l que fue, \u00bfno?<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>S\u00ed.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCIM: <\/em><\/strong>Y dijo que le dio el tiro en la cabeza.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: <\/em><\/strong>El tiro en la cabeza y de ah\u00ed se fue a la verga.<\/em><\/p>\n

Otra madrugada.\u00a0 Llega el Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s y me dice:<\/p>\n

– Ya qued\u00f3 ya.\u00a0 El acuerdo es que la llegada es el d\u00eda viernes 23 de mayo, el homenaje al compa Galeano el d\u00eda s\u00e1bado 24 de mayo, y el domingo 25 de mayo cada quien se regresa a su casa.\u00a0 Las bases de apoyo pues.<\/p>\n

\u00bfPara los de afuera tambi\u00e9n? \u2013 le pregunto.<\/p>\n

– S\u00ed, pero a los de afuera les pones lo mismo que fue acuerdo para las bases de apoyo, o sea que tienen que traer su comida y su d\u00f3nde duermen.<\/p>\n

– \u00bfY lo hago comunicado o carta o c\u00f3mo?<\/p>\n

– Ah\u00ed lo veas t\u00fa, pero que quede claro, de modo que no sean una carga para estos compas.\u00a0 Vienen pues a apoyar, a dar su sentimiento con la familia del finado y los compas de aqu\u00ed, no a que los atiendan.\u00a0 O sea que no es fiesta.<\/p>\n

Ah, y tambi\u00e9n les avisas que el d\u00eda 24 de mayo, en todos los caracoles, las bases de apoyo tambi\u00e9n lo van a hacer un homenaje al compa Galeano.\u00a0 Y que estar\u00eda bueno si ese d\u00eda tambi\u00e9n hacen ellos algo en sus lugares, seg\u00fan su modo de cada quien y sus tiempos.<\/p>\n

Y otra cosa.\u00a0 Si vas a poner lo de la interrogaci\u00f3n de la compa\u00f1era, no pongas el nombre de esos cabrones, s\u00f3lo la letra.\u00a0 Porque no sabemos si es culpable de asesinato o s\u00f3lo de andar de machito y hocic\u00f3n que le quiere meter miedo a una muchachita.<\/p>\n

Y ponle tambi\u00e9n que invitamos especialmente a las compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros de lo medios libres o alternativos o aut\u00f3nomos o como se diga, o sea los que no son de paga, que son de la Sexta, o sea que son nuestros compa\u00f1eros y compa\u00f1eras y que tienen su comisi\u00f3n de \u201cescucha\u201d en sus tierras.\u00a0 Y que tal vez\u2026 as\u00ed ponle o sea que \u201ctal vez\u201d vamos a dar una conferencia de prensa la Comandancia General del EZLN con los medios libres o como se diga, que est\u00e1n en la Sexta.\u00a0 Digo \u201ctal vez\u201d porque luego no da tiempo por el trabajo y no hay que quedar mal.\u00a0 Y que los medios de paga no est\u00e1n invitados, ni los vamos a recibir.<\/p>\n

\"Galeano\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

-*-<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I wouldn\u2019t know, to tell you the truth. Supposedly in the city there is a custom, a way of doing things we could say, that when there is a death in the family, the other family members and friends visit the family to let them know they support them in their pain. They call it \u201coffering condolences\u201d I think. Yes, that\u2019s it, to tell them that they are not alone.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

\u201cOk, from what I have read, the majority of the students of the little school said that they felt at home, that they had been treated like family. Well, some said they had been treated even better than in their families. That is, as they say, there are families and then there are families, for example in\u2026<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

\u201cCould be. Yes, it could be that some feel the need to come and give condolences to the family of the deceased Galeano, or to the compas here, or both.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t that easy, because here is very far away for them. What would it be, maybe some 7 hours from San Crist\u00f3bal? So you see, it\u2019s far. And a violent death doesn\u2019t give us any advance warning, it doesn\u2019t have its calendar or its geography marked, it just comes in and sits down, uninvited. Yes, it enters by tearing down the door.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t like death from old age or illness, that slowly slips in with a foot, then a hand, and soon it is sitting there in a corner, waiting, until it gets comfortable and says, \u201chere, I rule.\u201d And so one can prepare oneself, get used to the idea. But not with violent death. Violent death comes like a blow, it knocks you down, stuns you, kicks you, clubs you, slashes you, shoots you, kills you, puts a bullet in your head and then mocks you. That\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n

So if you make a plan, as they say, for a \u201csharing\u201d or an exchange, or a meeting, or for courses at the Zapatista Little School, then you can say that it will be on this day in this place, and you let people know in advance, and each person, in their place, also makes their plan regarding work or school or family, and they arrange their trip. And you too use this time to prepare for where you will house them and what you will offer them.<\/p>\n

But because violence gives no warning, there is no time to prepare anything, not who will come nor who will receive them. And then, what is there to say? Even if you are all there together, looking at each other, the sound of the silence quiets you, as if death had not only taken the deceased, but your words also.<\/p>\n

So it is difficult for you to come, but not because you don\u2019t want to, or not because you don\u2019t love Galeano or the compas in La Realidad, but because it is hard to find a way to get here.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, where would we have these people stay, this caracol being very small and surrounded once again by paramilitaries? And what would we give them to eat? And what about the bathrooms, if 25 or 50 of them need to go, or if they want to bathe because of the heat[ii] or the rain?<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

Ah, yes, and if the visitors brought their own food and their own tent for the rain, well that would change things a little, but not much, because as the health promoter already explained, we have to care for, as they say, hygiene, and make sure they don\u2019t turn this into, as they say, a pigsty. Because there are people you know who are really dirty, who always miss the toilet, above all the fucking guys. Because as women we are\u2026<\/p>\n

Huh? Yes, its important for preventing illness. Yes, like cholera. Huh? No, the other cholera, fury, rage.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

What? No, good visitors tell us ahead of time that they are coming; they don\u2019t just show up. When a visitor comes without warning, they call them, or used to call them, \u201cgorr\u00f3n,\u201d or \u201cgorrona,\u201d as the case may be. I don\u2019t know why they called them that, or still call them that, but they are referring to the people who show up without being invited, the ones who, as they say, invited themselves. Yes, death is like a \u201cgorr\u00f3n\u201d or \u201cgorrona,\u201d as the case may be, like a visitor who shows up without warning, who didn\u2019t ask if they could come. Yes, I know that it isn\u2019t exactly the same thing, but that\u2019s what came to mind<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

Yes, I think that if you give them a particular day, then some will come, not all of them, but some. Because even though they don\u2019t all come, they are there in another way. Like \u201clisteners,\u201d but in reverse.
\nBecause death can also be defeated with another calendar and another geography. Why do I say \u201calso\u201d? Oh, I know what I am saying. Pay me no mind right now. Maybe another day I will explain to you\u2026or you will see.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

How many? I have no idea, but it could be many, depending, because over there I see that they are putting up another shelter, and sweeping and cleaning. Yes, as if they are expecting visitors.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

When exactly? Well, ask Emiliano or Max, or SubMoi who I saw over there speaking with a young woman who is from here. He was on his way to talk to the comit\u00e9s [CCRI].<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

Me? Well, I\u2019m waiting. When the comit\u00e9s from the zone come to an agreement, I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll tell me write something and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

Look! \u2026There!\u2026 that little light over there. Did you see what a strange animal that is? Yes it looks like a dog\u2026or rather a cat. Yes like a cat-dog. Strange, no?<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true, reality is strange.<\/p>\n

Fragment from Page 4 of the Investigative Report of the assassination of compa\u00f1ero Galeano. Questioning of compa\u00f1era S., Zapatista, base of support from La Realidad, age 16 going on 17 years old. May 11, 2014.<\/p>\n

(Warning: the following text contains language that may offend the sensibilities of the European royalty and those that aspire to the throne. Between us, it\u2019s nothing that isn\u2019t heard in any corner of the world below. Here goes).<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is May 11, 2014.<\/p>\n

(\u2026)<\/p>\n

We have a compa\u00f1era present here who is going to tell us what was said to her, rather, what one person in particular said; the other didn\u2019t actually say anything. This is what the compa\u00f1era is going to tell us about.<\/p>\n

Go ahead, compa\u00f1era.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Well you see, compa Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s, I am going to tell you what this murderer said to me.<\/p>\n

SCIM: When was it that he said this to you?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: It was Saturday.<\/p>\n

SCIM: May 10?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: May 10.<\/p>\n

SCIM: At what time?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: At about 9.<\/p>\n

SCIM: 9 in the morning?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes, at about 9 he said to me: \u201cYou\u2019re really full of yourself,\u201d but I didn\u2019t want to answer him.
\nThen he said \u201cstop,\u201d and I stopped.
\n\u201cListen to what I\u2019m going to say to you,\u201d he said; I stopped.
\nSCIM: And what is this man\u2019s name?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: His name is R.<\/p>\n

SCIM: R. Ok, continue.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: He said to me, \u201clisten to what I am going to tell you,\u201d and I listened.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEnjoy your Caracol. Enjoy it now because we\u2019re going to take it; that Caracol is going to be ours very soon. With glee I\u2019m going to build my house there when it\u2019s ours. Very soon we\u2019re going to take it.<\/p>\n

I answered him: \u201cWell if that\u2019s the case, if you feel like such a man, if you\u2019ve got such a big cock and balls, that dead or alive you\u2019re going to take the Caracol, then go ahead and take it if you have the balls.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he said to me:<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have the balls and the cock, you want to see?\u201d<\/p>\n

And I answered:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to show it, show it to your mother.\u201d That\u2019s what I said.<\/p>\n

Then he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you so angry because we killed your husband?\u201d<\/p>\n

And I said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat compa\u00f1ero isn\u2019t our husband. That compa\u00f1ero is our compa\u00f1ero in struggle, in the struggle for our communities, not for measly handouts from the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he started to laugh with his friend who was with him, and he said\u2026<\/p>\n

SCIM: What was his friend\u2019s name?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: M.<\/p>\n

He told me: \u201cThe ones we are going to get our hands on are Ra\u00fal, Jorge, and Ren\u00e9. Once we get our hands on them we\u2019re going to kill them like we killed la peluda (Note: \u201cLa peluda\u201d is the derogatory name with which the CIOAC-H paramilitaries refer to compa\u00f1ero Galeano).<\/p>\n

I told him that if they were going to do it to go ahead and do it, to try it, but to come into the Caracol. Not when there aren\u2019t any people there, like they did in the school\u2014they went in there because there wasn\u2019t anybody there. I told him: \u201cif you\u2019re really men, take the Caracol.\u201d And they laughed and said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be happy we didn\u2019t kill your father.\u201d<\/p>\n

SCIM: That\u2019s what he said to you?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t kill your father, but we will next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I responded: \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you kill him?
\n\u201cWell, we didn\u2019t see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, if you\u2019re going to do it, do it. He\u2019s in the Caracol, that\u2019s where he is.<\/p>\n

That was when he said: \u201cYou know who killed la peluda?\u201d<\/p>\n

And I responded: \u201cHow am I going to know if I wasn\u2019t there when they killed our compa\u00f1ero?\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was me who killed him. I shot him in the head and sent him to hell. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do when we get our hands on the others\u2014the ones I already mentioned to you, that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do to them. But each will have his moment. You know what? We\u2019re fed up with you all.\u201d This is what he said to me. \u201cBecause what you\u2019re doing isn\u2019t fair. We\u2019re fed up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But I responded: \u201cWe\u2019re the ones who are fed up with what you all are doing. Even more so when we found out what you did to our compa\u00f1ero. We compa\u00f1eras went to pick up the body; that\u2019s when we got really fucking fed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s when they laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, because they are all your husbands,\u201d he said to me.<\/p>\n

SCIM: And when they were making fun, what was it that he was saying about what they do, that they do what they say, no? Didn\u2019t he say something about the Good Government Council? Or didn\u2019t he say something about\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

(inaudible).<\/p>\n

SCIM: Okay.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: He said: \u201cWe are going to kill them, break them once and for all. You all are the Good Government Council, you are good governments, whatever we do to you, you\u2019re not going to do anything in response. Why? Because you are good governments.<\/p>\n

I said to him: \u201cYes, of course we are good governments, but not that good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what are you all going to do to me? Even if you know exactly who killed him, you\u2019re not going to do anything to us because you\u2019re the Good Government Council that protects everyone. I\u2019m not scared,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not scared, that\u2019s why I\u2019m telling you that I killed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I answered: \u201cI wish that were the case. When your day comes I hope you posture like the tough guy you\u2019re posturing with me right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is what I\u2019m going to do. But when? That day isn\u2019t going to come,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause you all are the Good Government Council, you are good governments and you\u2019re not going to do anything to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

SCIM: Anything else you remember about what he said to you? You had said something about him laughing and cackling.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes, he laughed and his friend was yelling, but didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n

SCIM: M didn\u2019t speak, he just laughed?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: He didn\u2019t say anything, he just laughed. M was there, he poked the other guy\u2019s back so that he wouldn\u2019t say anything else.<\/p>\n

SCIM: Ah. He poked him?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes, he poked his back and they started yelling. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should go on your way, go do your errand.\u201d I didn\u2019t respond to him.<\/p>\n

SCIM: Okay, if later on you remember anything else he said to you, we can do some more work here. This is to keep gathering information, because in this case that guy himself said what happened.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes.<\/p>\n

SCIM: And he himself had tried to cover it up. So you say that he had asked you if you knew who killed compa\u00f1ero Galeano. And then he says he did it, right?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Yes.<\/p>\n

SCIM: \u201cAnd he says he shot him in the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: \u201cThat he shot him in the head and that finished him off.\u201d<\/p>\n

SCIM: Okay compa\u00f1era. What is your name in the struggle?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: My name is S.<\/p>\n

SCIM: S?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: yes.<\/p>\n

SCIM: Okay compa\u00f1era. That\u2019s what we wanted, so that it is clear that the testimony is direct, because you are from here, from La Realidad. What was your work when you went to the \u201csharing\u201d or exchange in Oventik?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: Listener<\/p>\n

(Note: \u201cListener\u201d is a job or a commission or a responsibility given to some compa\u00f1eras and compa\u00f1eros that consists of \u201clistening\u201d to what is said in one of the \u201csharings\u201d or exchanges and then recounting it to their community, region, and zone. This is so that what happens in the exchange isn\u2019t limited to those attending, but is heard by all of the Zapatistas. It would be like the equivalent of \u201cnarrator.\u201d The compas select young people to be the \u201clisteners\u201d who have a good memory, understand Spanish well, and can explain in their own languages what was said. The exchange with National Indigenous Congress (CNI) already had dozens of young people from the various zones assigned as \u201clisteners.\u201d The idea was that whatever the compas from the indigenous peoples of the CNI said would be heard by all of the Zapatista bases of support.)<\/p>\n

SCIM: Ah, yes, yes, yes. The exchange that was going to take place with the National Indigenous Congress. Very good. That will be all, compa\u00f1era S. Thank you.<\/p>\n

(inaudible)<\/p>\n

SCIM: Oh wait. When you talked to this guy R, was he drunk or sober?<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: No. I got pretty close but I didn\u2019t smell alcohol. And when I got to L\u2019s house, the same guy passed by on his way home. He looked at me and turned around and laughed. I looked at him with anger in my face.<\/p>\n

SCIM: So we could say that he was sober when he said what he said to you? He wasn\u2019t drunk then.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1era S: No, he wasn\u2019t drunk.<\/p>\n

SCIM: Okay, that\u2019s all compa\u00f1era. Thank you.<\/p>\n

-*-<\/p>\n

Another night, in the wee hours of the morning. Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s comes and tells me:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision is made. The agreement is that the arrival will be Friday May 23, the homage for compa Galeano will be Saturday May 24, and Sunday May 25 everybody goes home. The bases of support that is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for those from outside our communities?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cSame, but for those from outside, tell them the same applies as for the bases of support: everybody brings their own food and place to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I should make it a communiqu\u00e9 or a letter or what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you think, but make it clear so that they aren\u2019t a burden on the compas. They are coming to lend their support, to offer their condolences to the family of the deceased and the compas here, not to be attended to. Meaning, it\u2019s not a party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, and also tell them that the bases of support will be holding an homage to compa Galeano in all of the caracoles on May 24. And that it would be good for them to do something that day in the places where they live also, according to their own schedules and styles.<\/p>\n

And another thing. Tell them we are especially inviting the compa\u00f1eras and compa\u00f1eros from the independent media or alternative media or autonomous media or whatever, the media that isn\u2019t paid off, that is part of the Sixth, the ones that are our compa\u00f1eras and compa\u00f1eros and have the responsibility of \u201clistener\u201d commission in their lands. Tell them that maybe\u2014say it like that, \u201cmaybe\u201d\u2014the General Command of the EZLN will do a press conference with the independent media or whatever you call them, the ones who are part of the Sixth. I say \u201cmaybe\u201d because it could be that it won\u2019t happen because of work we have to do and we don\u2019t want to end up on bad terms. Also, the paid media aren\u2019t invited; we won\u2019t receive them.<\/p>\n

\u201cShall I send them a photo of the deceased?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, but the one of him alive, not of the cadaver. Because we remember our compa\u00f1eros for how they lived the struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay. What else?<\/p>\n

\u201cJust that we are here\u2014which I think they already know\u2014here in la realidad [reality].\u201d<\/p>\n

Vale. To health and listening.<\/p>\n
