Border Wall: Nature Weeps at the Violation in Ajo, Arizona






Photos and words by Maria Singleton in Ajo, Arizona, where 22 semi-trucks passed through in one morning alone as the border wall is being built. All federal laws are being violated that protect Native sacred places, endangered species and the land, water and air to build the border wall in the fragile Sonoran Desert. -- Censored News

AJO, Arizona -- Protestors from different groups who are opposed to the Border Wall showed up in the pouring rain to silently to stand in front of the Curly school for an hour this morning. Mother Nature showed up and wept with us in solidarity as the wall continues to be built at a breakneck speed just south of here...destroying the land and violating indigenous sacred space. No wonder Mother Nature wept with us."

“Fifth column, clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation’s solidarity by any means at their disposal. The term is conventionally credited to Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general during the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). As four of his army columns moved on Madrid, the general referred to his militant supporters within the capital as his “fifth column,” intent on undermining the loyalist government from within. sakotenninons.

French, German, Italian and Spanish

To: Women who struggle in Mexico and around the world
From: The Zapatista indigenous women of the EZLN

Compañera and sister:

We greet you in the name of all of the Zapatista indigenous women of all ages, from the youngest to the wisest—the oldest, that is. We hope you are well and are struggling along with your families, sisters, and compañeras.

Here we are having a lot of problems with the paramilitary forces who now come out of the MORENA party, just like before they came from the PRI, PAN, PRD, and Verde Ecologista parties.

But that’s not what we wanted to talk to you about. We wanted to talk to you about something more urgent and more important: the incredible violence waged against women, which has not only not ceased but actually increased in quantity and in cruelty. The murders and disappearances of women have reached a level that we could not have imagined before, and no woman of any age, class, political affiliation, color, race, or religion is safe. We might think that rich women, women politicians or famous women are safe because they have their security guards and police to protect them, but no, not even they are safe, because the violence that kidnaps, disappears, or kills us often comes from family members, friends, and acquaintances.
