Brutal e inhumana represión a la VIII Marcha Indígena
(Comisión de Comunicación de la Marcha).- Hoy 25 de septiembre a horas 16:30 se inició un operativo policial y/o militar de cerco sobre el campamento del puente San Miguel a 5 Km de Yucumo, donde estaban descansando alrededor de 800 marchistas, incluyendo más de dos centenares de niños y bebés.
Alrededor de las 17 horas empezó una despiadada gasificación contra la gente indefensa, lo que provocó una confusión total y por ese motivo empezaron a extraviarse y desaparecer muchos de los niños que estaban ahí acampados junto a sus madres.
Posteriormente efectivos de la policía procedieron a perseguir a la gente, a acorralarlos, golpearlos, quemando el campamento, gasificando mujeres embarazadas y deteniendo enseres personales de la prensa, obligaron a la gente a subir a camionetas para de esta manera, digna de la peor de las dictaduras, intervenir y acabar con la marcha.
Posteriormente estas personas fueron obligadas a subir a buses que en número de 8 partieron con dirección a Yucumo, obligados por el bloqueo de caminos que ya esta efectuándose en San Borja, donde la población salió a la calle enardecida una vez que circuló la noticia de la intervención a la marcha……..
Here in Spain things are hotting up, as more and more people lose their jobs.
The cuts forced by the State and Banks are cutting into essential services. (Health, education, Pensions..) and 1000s are evicted for defaulting on mortgages.
The demonstrations and occupations have become daily and hourly.
People recognize that the Capitalist System itself is at fault, and there is intense debate, especially from the Take The Streets (15-M) movement
which has decentralized into hundreds of local non hierarchical Assemblies and sub commissions.
There are many local initiatives setting off, including Mutual Aid Networks.
This Thursday will be a Day of Action as a lead up to the General Strike, and you can choos from over 50 mass demonstrations
due to take place around the country.
MOVILIZACIONES 29S. “La lucha está en la calle. Hacia la Huelga General”
Spain takes to the streets
Convocatorias unitarias de manifestaciones que tendrán lugar en todo el estado en la jornada de lucha del 29 de septiembre, con el lema de “La lucha está en la calle. Hacia la Huelga General”.
PLOWBOY: And did all your contact with the wilds have any effect on your perceptions of our modern agricultural system?
MOLLISON: Oh yes! Everything I did, either in research or in fieldwork, indicated that there was something fundamentally wrong with modern farming methods. For instance, every problem I found in commercial agribusiness was actually caused by the industry itself. Usually — when a farmer called in the CSIRO for a consultation — the results of our investigation pointed the finger straight at the grower him- or herself!
As I saw the same situation occur time and time again, I gradually came to the conclusion that most contemporary crop-raisers must be doing things the wrong way. So my last few years with the CSIRO were spent in the forest,
permaculture is mutual aid
observing the plant and animal species on location . . . and there I learned that everything in nature is self -controlled and self -balancing.
You know, a lot of modern thought suggests that the planet — as a living organismic — seeks to protect itself by rejecting any species that causes it harm. For instance, if cattle damage part of the earth, the harmed region will respond by growing thorn bushes and poisonous plants, thus rejecting the animals. Well, I think we — the members of the human race — are perilously close to being rejected by the earth in that same way . . . and quite rightly so, since we’ve created some terrible damage.
Show your support for the Indigenous Peoples of TIPNIS!Avaaz.orghas sponsored a petition in support of the ongoing march to defend the Isiboro Sécure Indigenous Territory and
Since August 15, 2011, Indigenous Peoples from the TIPNIS have been marching against a new highway that the government of Bolivia wants to build through the protected territory.
So far, more than 1,500 people have joined the 375-mile journey from the eastern lowlands of Bolivia to La Paz–a number that’s growing by the day.
Sadly, President Evo Morales has responded to the march by labeling the protesters “enemies of the nation.” He is also trying to discredit the protesters by portraying them as being confused by NGOs. He even tried to denounce the march as another strategy of US imperialism.
As of late, this misleading rhetoric has turned into action. According to NACLA,
urgent 24 sept.police block march. No water...
“The government has sent in 450 federal police for the stated purpose of avoiding a confrontation. Rather than guarantee the marchers’ safe passage, the police have prevented them from advancing and, according to news reports, have impeded their access to water, while the colonists have blocked delivery of other supplies. The colonists contend, and the government agrees, that some of the indigenous groups’ demands ‘violate their rights,’ and should be dropped before the march is allowed to proceed.”
At this point, there’s no telling what will happen next. Sufficed to say, the international community should be on alert for the worst possible outcome.
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a week old and roaring strong. We, the people, are finding our voice, realizing that, yes we can revive our democracy. It is beautiful. It is an achievement. And it has the potential to grow into something even more wild and wonderful over the next few weeks and months. This Saturday at noon at the people’s assembly in Liberty Plaza there will be a celebration of our incredible first week. Last Saturday, 5,000 people flocked nonviolently to Wall Street … this Saturday there will be 10,000. And then in the weeks that follow, we will swell to 50,000 … and maybe even to 100,000+ by mid-October. Wouldn’t that be something!
Dia 38 de la marcha por el Tipnis. 1000 marchistas por el Tipnis están ‘sequestrados’ por el bloqueo masivo de policias sin sombra y con poca agua, bajo un sol tropical peligroso.
El cordón de policías instalado en el puente del arroyo Chaparina permite el paso de las movilidades, que dejan una estela de polvo a los marchistas sentados o parados al lado del camino, donde sea que hubiere una mancha de sombra. “Aquí estamos totalmente incómodos, directamente al calor del sol. Desde que partió la marcha (de la ciudad de Trinidad el 15 de agosto pasado) siempre hemos enviado una comisión de avanzada que buscaba lugares con arboleadas para poder realizar nuestro campamento. Pero aquí estamos detenidos a la fuerza, estamos a la intemperie, porque la Policía está aquí enfrente y no deja avanzar a la marcha. Además, no permiten que pasen vehículos con donaciones para los marchistas. Incluso los bloqueadores retienen a los vehículos que nos traen alimentos, agua y medicamentos. Esto tiene que saberlo el mundo entero: el gobierno nacional está frenando el derecho de reclamar por el cumplimiento de nuestros derechos. Como pueblos indígenas clamamos justicia, porque en nuestro país pareciera que viviéramos en una dictadura”, sostuvo Vargas.
Ha habido manifestaciones de apoyo en todo Bolivia y en muchas lugares del mundo (incluso en Barcelona) además que una petición gigante hecho por Avaaz
COB iniciarán marchas si no solucionan conflicto de TIPNIS

El Comité Ejecutivo Nacional de Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) determinó ayer respaldar la marcha indígena del Territorio Indígena y Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) y advirtieron con movilizaciones si el Gobierno no soluciona hasta fin de semana el conflicto indígena.
HUELGA PARA EL MIERCOLES….COB !
ultima noticia..La Paz, 23 Sep. (ANF).- La dirigencia Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) determinó, este viernes en su ampliado nacional, ejecutar un paro de 24 horas el miércoles próximo, en respaldo a los indígenas que marchan en defensa del TIPNIS. Los trabajadores exigen al gobierno que se instale el diálogo a brevedad posible.
Agencias.- El alcalde Luis Revilla anunció que se realizará una campaña de recolección de alimentos y vituallas en favor de los indígenas del Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) que el 15 de agosto iniciaron una marcha en rechazo a la construcción de la carretera Villa Tunari – San Ignacio de Moxos y que pasaría por medio de este parque nacional. Asimismo, reiteró el apoyo que brindó la Asamblea de la Paceñidad a la marcha de los indígenas, a su derecho a manifestarse y a transitar libremente por el territorio nacional para hacer conocer su legítimo reclamo para la preservación del Parque Isiboro
”El presidente dijo en Estados Unidos que en Bolivia los pueblos indígenas quieren enfrentar a este gobierno, que queremos que este gobierno sea destruido, que estamos impulsados por la derecha, por las ONG y que estamos cometiendo el delito de conspiración –dijo Vargas-. Creemos que el Presidente debería hacer al revés, más bien debería decir que el gobierno nacional está en una franca conspiración para deshacer a los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía, que conspira para deshacer a la Madre Tierra, para destruir al medio ambiente. Creemos que ese debería ser su discurso, para dejar de estar mintiendo al mundo entero y al pueblo boliviano”.

Medios radiales, televisivos y escritos registraron lo sucedido con los policías en Chaparina, que además de cerrarles el paso se opusieron a que los indígenas acceden a las aguas del arroyo existente en el lugar, para que se aseen y refresquen, ante las elevadas temperaturas que se registran en el lugar.
GDP is nonsense, but all capitalist economics depends on promoting it.
Our whole idea of Gross Domestic Product as a measure of economic success is an absurd fallacy.
GDP is stupid, like having just one orange and measuring your well being by how fast you can eat it.
Some years ago the idea of Green GDP was put forward in China, but rapidly buried when the results turned out too bad.
Independent estimates of the cost to China of environmental degradation and resource depletion have for the last decade ranged from 8 to 12 percentage points of GDP growth.[4] These estimates support the idea that, by this measure at least, the growth of the Chinese economy is close to zero.
The most promising national activity on the Green GDP has been from India. The country’s Environmental Minister, Jairam Ramesh, stated in 2009 that “It is possible for scientists to estimate green GDP. An exercise has started under the country’s chief statistician Pronab Sen and by 2015, India’s GDP numbers will be adjusted with economic costs of environmental degradation
Now the inventor of Chinese Green GDP has come up with a much less green fudge which has been floated semi officially in the Chinese media, ahead of the many such proposals for the Rio Summit next year.
The idea of ‘Green GDP’ is a good one for educating people on the real limitations of the Biosphere we inhabit.
anarchism is permaculture
However this in itself changes nothing, the ruling capitalists and Corporations will only have to add a little greenwash.
If you factor in the exponential costs of climate change and the real costs of environmental destruction every country on Earth already has a plummeting GDP.
The ‘GDP Quality Index’ now being floated in China is one of many proposals worldwide to use economic theory to reverse environmental degradation and encourage sustainable values. No governments have adopted such measurements but they are likely to be given a push as next year’s Rio+20 United Nations summit. Last year, India said it would become the first country in the world to commit to publish accounts of its “natural wealth”.
