• HAITI - Elecciones (Gary Olius, ALAI)

  19 de enero de 2006, puesto en línea por Manuela Garza Ascencio

  15/01/2006 - ALAI - Desde la salida de Duvalier, Haití se convirtió en un verdadero laboratorio diplomático para la comunidad internacional. No es un homenaje al duvalierismo, sino el honesto reconocimiento de un hecho. Desde 1986 hasta la realización efectiva de las elecciones del 2006, se ha experimentado casi todo. Aparte de lo que se diga y piense, los resultados están allí para testimoniar la eficacia o no de las fórmulas aplicadas: la inseguridad y la violencia política se (…)

  Carlos, my driver, was a former federal policeman. He weighed a good two hundred pounds and was well over six feet. He was assigned to me by a local businessman whom I knew in Guatemala City after I explained that I wanted to visit some areas where I could see gang activity. When we arrived at the tianguis or local market, he pulled over the Ford Explorer and opened the glove compartment. He unclipped his automatic from his belt, and put it inside along with his wallet. “Take a few (…)

  16 January 2006, posted by Manuela Garza Ascencio

  15/01/006 - IPS - The body of Diego Gallardo, 20, showed 57 injuries caused by savage blows to the head and body. He lay dying for an estimated 15 hours in an Argentine police station where he was brutally beaten by four officers after his arrest.
  The atrocity sounds like just another of the thousands perpetrated by the 1976-1983 military dictatorship. But Gallardo was tortured and killed in Avellaneda, a district on the outskirts of the Argentine capital, in 2005, under a fully democratic (…)

• US - Skull and Bones, the Elite of the Empire (voltairenet.org)

  14 January 2006, posted by John Malone

  Within the very exclusive and puritan Yale University, every year 15 children of very wealthy families are co-opted. They are members of a secret association of ghoulish rites: the Skulls and Bones. Throughout their lives, they support and assist each other in view of the democratic flightiness of the masses they detest. The next president of the United States is one of the 800 initiated: George W. Bush and John Kerry are members since 36 years ago.
  The association Skull and Bones has (…)
