As Bush Militarizes Border, Local Communities Say No.
Ella,
Border communities are united in their opposition to the Goode Amendment, and fear that the placement of National Guard troops on the border with Mexico will further exacerbate the state-of siege mentality that has extended over the region since militarization of the region began, in the name of immigration enforcement and the war on drugs, over a decade ago. Currently, border communities face arbitrary detentions and arrests by the Border Patrol, racial profiling is rampant in Latino neighborhoods, the presence of military vehicles and infrastructure are pervasive, and the use of deadly force by Border Patrol agents claims innocent lives each year.

Film Exposes Negroponte’s Human-Rights Abuses
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
John D. Negroponte has steadily risen through the ranks of the U.S. government, from ambassador to Honduras in the early 1980's and Mexico in the early 1990's to Bush's ambassador to the U.N. in 2001, ambassador to (and effective ruler of) Iraq in 2004 and now the head of ALL U.S. intelligence. But a Norwegian documentary, "The Ambassador," explores Negroponte's involvement in political killings and other human-rights abuses in Honduras when he was ambassador there. The film was screened May 10 at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest and Andreas Tomás Gutierrez, who defied Negroponte at his confirmation hearing for the U.N. appointment on September 13, 2001, spoke about the film and his work with Honduran human-rights activists who documented — and sometimes experienced — Negroponte's abuses.

Genocide in Northern Uganda
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
On May 8 Activist San Diego moved its regular monthly meeting to the Alliance for African Assistance in the College area to hear Ugandan émigré Charlie Lakony of Friends for Peace in Africa and Kathy Smith of Amnesty International discuss the Ugandan government's human-rights abuses against the Acholi people in northern Uganda. Though the government blames the situation in the north on a religious-Right guerrilla movement called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), Lakony and Smith argued that the government, not the LRA, is responsible for 93 percent of the over 3,000 people, many of them children, who die in northern Uganda every week. They also said Uganda has used the concentration-camp strategy to cut off northern Ugandans from their homes and land and render them vulnerable to deaths from disease and kidnapping by both LRA forces and Uganda's own army.

Over 200 Attend Anti-War Demo on Iran
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
Despite only two days' notice, over 200 people attended a demonstration at the Federal Building in downtown San Diego May 6 to protest the Bush administration's plans for war against Iran. Speakers at the rally highlighted the similarities between the ways the Bush administration is pushing for an attack on Iran — including manipulating the media to create an atmosphere of fear that will lead the public to support the war — and the ways it previously pushed for the war on Iraq. There was also a lot of concern about the reports that the Bush administration plans to use so-called "tactical" nuclear weapons in any attack on Iran.

By Al Giordano
The Other Journalism with the Other Campaign in Mexico City
May 2, 2006
Your correspondent was really looking forward to Wednesday’s visit by Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos to the Mexico City neighborhood of Tepito, in part because this popular barrio is often referred to as “the Bronx of Mexico City” and strolling through its bustling street markets brings him back to the gray, gray concrete of his youth in that borough of New York City.
