ZAPATISTA ARMY FOR NATIONAL LIBERATION.

March 2015.

Early morning in reality.

Just here, as usual: watching and listening. The crack in the wall is barely visible from the other side. On our side it expands with persistence.

In the classrooms and in the huts of the thousands of Zapatista families who received, housed, fed, and cared for thousands of others,[1] men, women, and children from the five continents, the evaluations made by the teachers and votanes after you all left still resound.

Some of the evaluations were harsh, it’s true, but that probably won’t matter to those who claimed to had been moved by the experience and then continued on with their lives as if nothing had happened, avoiding looking in the mirror or editing that glance at their whim. Despite this, according to what I’ve heard, there were some, a few, that were evaluated as “pretty good.”

“Pretty good” is how the compas describe something good without making a fuss. “How are you?” “Well, I’m here, pretty good,” is how we greet each other.

Meanwhile time marches on just as we do, without fuss, just moving along, like shadows…

And the compa Galeano, who lit up these classrooms, houses, and schools with his word, now fallen and silent, murdered.

Then came the embrace of our compañeros, collective and sincere, from the Sixth.

RAPID CITY, SD -

A South Dakota tribe has barred a Rapid City-based defense lawyer from entering their land.

Oglala Lakota Tribe officials passed a resolution banning Rapid City lawyer Patrick Duffy from the Pine Ridge Reservation, after Duffy hired on to defend a Philip man charged with disorderly conduct for behavior toward Native Americans at a hockey game.

Tribal public information officer Kevin Yellow Bird Steele confirmed Thursday that the tribal council approved the resolution submitted by the Pass Creek District representatives on Feb. 24. He referred further inquiries to representatives from the district, who couldn't be reached for comment.

MNN. Mar. 5, 2015. As the eagle sat on top of the tree of peace looking out for the people, a foul smell was coming from the direction of Washington DC. An eloquent foreigner from far away was visiting the big ‘outhouse’ on the hill. Some see it as one of the lowest places on earth.

All I want is a double-double with some sugar.

“I am the little big man who is trying to run everything on Earth for the benefit of my family”, he told them as they sat on their portholes. He announced that he has created a new religion that will put him in charge of every living thing in the world. He will own everything and everybody will listen to him. Then they jumped up, clapped and cheered.

He announced he will pass laws so he can never be punished. More clapping. Then he excused himself for a few minutes. The people waited. He returned and raised his hands. They jump off their portholes, screamed and clapped in rapture for several minutes.

He then went to the middle of the floor, turned around and lowered himself down. It was his new “wasako’ni’ta:ion” stance. He told them that from this day on every time he does this gesture, every person must bow down to him to show their loyalty.

The eagle realized something about this persuasive man, that there is nothing as eloquent as a rattlesnakes tail. [Navajo saying].

Bibi: “This is the nuclear bomb that Iran has.”

Bibi addressing the US Congress reminds us of Alice Cooper as he sings: “You’re a cruel device, you’re blood like ice. One look could kill my pain, your thrill. Your poison running through my veins. Your poison, I don’t want to break these chains”. [Poison]
