SupGaleano died. He died just as he lived: unhappily.

Of course, he took care, before passing away, of returning the name to the one who is flesh and blood inherited from Master Galeano. He recommended keeping him alive, that is to say, fighting. So Galeano will continue walking in these mountains.

In all other regards, it was something simple. He started humming something like “I know I’m piantao, piantao, piantao”, and, just before he expired, he said, or rather asked: “Do dead people sneeze?”, and that’s it. Those were his last words. No sentence for history, nor for a tombstone, nor for an anecdote told in front of a fire. Only that absurd, anachronistic, extemporaneous question: “Do the dead sneeze?”

The demonstrations in Tacoma, Washington, are the second to greet the supply ship, after similar protests in California.

Under dark skies and steady rain, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied at the Port of Tacoma, in Washington state, to block a military supply vessel they believe will carry weapons from the United States to Israel.

Zapatistas 'Fourth Part and First Approach Alert: Several Necessary Deaths'





Fourth Part and First Approach Alert.
Several Necessary Deaths.
.

November 2023.

To the people who subscribe to the Declaration for Life:

We inform you of the following:

FIRST. – A few months ago, after a long and profound critical and self-critical analysis, and consulting all the Zapatista peoples, it was decided to disappear the Zapatista Rebel Autonomous Municipalities (MAREZ) and the Good Government Juntas.

SECOND. – All seals, letterheads, positions, representations and agreements with the name of any MAREZ or any of the Good Government Boards are invalid from this moment on. No person can present themselves as a member, authority or representative of any MAREZ or Good Government Board. The agreements held before this date, with Non-Governmental Organizations, social organizations, collectives, groups and solidarity bodies in Mexico and the world are maintained until their expiration, but new agreements cannot be made with these bodies of autonomy. Zapatista, for the simple reason that they no longer exist.

THIRD. – The Caracoles remain, but they will remain closed to the outside until further notice.

The World Marches for Palestine -- Genocide Continues

Western Media a Partner in Genocide

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 6, 2023
French translation by Christine Prat 

The western media is a partner in genocide. It is knowingly refusing to publish and broadcast the facts. Instead, the media is carrying out the same tactics that are in the military playbook for war -- target, attack, distract, discredit, misinform, and divide.


Around the world, millions of people are marching for the people of Palestine. Today, Jews for a Ceasefire are at the Statue of Liberty, as human rights defenders block a weapons boat to Israel in Tacoma, Washington. At locations in the US of Israel's Elbit Systems are being shut down.
