Cajamarca quiere agua, no oro

El líder campesino peruano Hugo Blanco denuncia los ataques de la agroindustria y de las hidroeléctricas

El líder campesino peruano, Hugo Blanco.

El líder campesino peruano, Hugo Blanco.
"Antes en mi época luchábamos por la tierra, por eso nuestro grito era 'Tierra o muerte', pero ahora se lucha por el agua". Hugo Blanco no se cansa de explicar que los campesinos padecen los ataques de la agroindustria y de las hidroeléctricas, pero sobre todo de las empresas mineras, las que promueven y llevan a cabo explotaciones a cielo abierto. Hugo Blanco es un lider campesino peruano, conocido en toda Latinoamérica por su compromiso en la defensa de los pueblos indígenas. Años atrás llegó a tener una cierta esperanza en lo que representaba el liderazgo de Ollanta Humala. Luego perdió la confianza en quien se iba a convertir en presidente de Perú. Y ahora recuerda que quien envía tropas y policías a Cajamarca para  reprimir de forma sangrienta el movimiento de protesta contra el proyecto minero Conga, hace poco más de un año, durante su campaña en esta misma región preguntaba: "¿Ustedes comen oro? ¿Ustedes quieren vender el agua?".  "Nooo", coreaba con los asistentes al mitin. "Nosotros tomamos agua, nuestras criaturas toman agua, nuestro ganado toma agua.... De ahí sale la riqueza", les decía. "Nosotros tomamos agua, nuestras criaturas toman agua.... De ahí sale la riqueza"
 Ahora Ollanta Humala defiende la otra riqueza, la que no tiene nada que ver con las necesidades y medios de subsistencia de miles de pequeños agricultores y ganaderos, que se ven obligados a defender, en manifestaciones y con turnos de vigilancia, las lagunas bajo las cuales la megaminería espera encontrar el preciado oro, las que pretenden convertir en vertederos y las que dejarían de existir como consecuencia de la destrucción del resto. "Para conseguir un gramo de oro tienen que provocar la voladura de una tonelada de roca", explica Hugo Blanco, para hacer entender lo que significa esa agresión contra la naturaleza, especialmente destructiva en las cabeceras de cuenca. Así está previsto en el proyecto Conga, de tal manera que afectaría a cinco valles.

Cross-Posted from Peruvian Times

A state of emergency has been declared in three provinces in the Andean department of Cajamarca, located in northern Peru, following the deaths of four people during protests against the multi-billion dollar Conga gold project.

Peru’s Executive branch approved the measure, which curtails civil liberties, in the provinces of Cajamarca, Celendin and Hualgayoc. The state of emergency came into force on Wednesday and will be valid for 30 days, the government said.

The measure follows the death in Celendin of three people and more than 30 injured on Tuesday, during clashes between police and demonstrators.  One of the persons killed was 17 years old.  More than 15 people were arrested.  On the same day, a man was killed during protests in Bambamarca, capital of the province of Hualgayoc.

According to the BBC foreign trade with Iran was be stopped from March, cutting all exports and imports to 80 million people.

This is because SWIFT, the monopoly banking agency will no longer permit money exchange, due to US and UK sanction pressure. The unilateral US moves are totally illegal under international law.

No country can be self sufficient, food, industry, medicines,.. almost everything we use has imported components. 

This is barbaric trade war with no UN approval. The US is 1000’s of times stronger than Iran, militarily, and only interested in controlling their oil, not their hypothetical nuclear bomb, indeed the US has helped sell Israel, India and Pakistan the bomb, and all these countries have a history of attacking their neighbours.

The BBC says the SWIFT sanctions will stop trade, but of course they are financed by the neo imperialist UK regime. Both the Chinese and the…

Anti-Racist & Proud @ Bristol Pride Parade

Join the “Anti-Racist and Proud” block at Bristol’s Pride Parade

14th July: 11am: from Berkeley Square (BS8)

We call on Bristol’s LGBTQI community, friends and families, to join us on the “Anti-Racist and Proud” block on the We Are: Proud Parade.

We encourage you to wear Black and Pink, colours of pride, solidarity and freedom for LGBTQI people.

NO EDL IN BRISTOL, NO EDL AT BRISTOL PRIDE

“A “Pride” event is nothing if not political: a supreme demonstration of communities coming together to celebrate their diversity and often in the face of negativity from the fringes of those communities. In that regard a “Pride” event must always confront prejudice and show those who hold prejudices that they are at the edges of society, standing increasingly alone.” – Imaan, a UK group which supports LGBT Muslim people, families and friends

In the summer of 1969, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex people in New York fought back against police violence at the Stonewall Inn. The following year Gay Liberation Day was organised to commemorate this Stonewall Uprising, to build a larger struggle of LGBTQI people and to work with other liberation movements. This is our history, and the history of Bristol’s We Are: Proud event.

The English Defence League, a far right movement, intend to march in Bristol on the same day as this year’s Bristol Pride. The EDL state that they are not racist, and claim that they are defending women’s and gay rights in the face of Islam. We challenge their position and know them to be a racist organisation who are attempting to use our LGBTQI communities to legitimise their racism.

The far right has been, and continues to be, an enemy rather than an ally in the fight for our sexual freedoms. On numerous marches staged by the EDL there have been racially motivated attacks and violence, as well as homophobic slurs thrown at any opposition

We, a collective of Bristol Queers, oppose all forms of oppression, including religious fundamentalism. We will fight homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in our daily lives, and we will fight racism, nationalism and Islamophobia within and beyond our own LGBTQI community.

We refuse to allow the EDL to use “gay rights” as a tool to further their racist agenda, and we believe that here in 2012 it is as important as ever for us to take a firm and explicitly anti-racist stand.
