It is part of the responsibility of progressive journalists to search and research matters before jumping to conclusions and attacking anyone. Provide information and let the facts speak for themselves. No investigation, no right to judge. Not all opinions are of equal value, though we each have a right to our own opinion (whether valid or not).

Let us not distract ourselves from the key importance of condemning and attacking the corporate ruling circles of the Evil Empire under which many suffer today. We need a relevant revolution, not mere reforms of what is a corrupt perverted system of government.

We must make politics the people's politics for it to be of any significance for us. Stand in unity. Let no one or any force divide us. Do not compromise basic humane-spiritual principles. No one has to get all hung up on being proven right and thereby make someone else wrong. No one has to have the last word. Stifle any inflated ego. Just have the courage to share, the wisdom to learn and the grace to be humble.

Revolution in our lifetime! Overthrow the Evil Empire!

Monday Morning ~ Happy Earth Day! First of all, if words matter, Network Aztlan News Group is a group, not a list, that term went our years ago. We need to be more inclusive and I have known nadaytodo for several years online and we have talked on the phone long ago. I think it is good in general to let folks post what they want. Let others speak without reserve. Know who are your friends and who are your enemies.

I am not going to attack anyone behind this, this too shall pass. More important for now is to do more research before we condemn or attack anyone. I am the News Monitor here. If Dorinda wants to control freak she can do so. She can be a co-Monitor or the Monitor herself. I am not the OWNER of this network. GB is.
I am taking the liberty of sharing this with the group.

I support MALDEF but that does not translate into supporting all who they support. For example, Eric Holder is a patent fascist.

Let's research more before we rush to judgment.

GB: If I attack, sword in hand, it will not be decent! It will be a bloody mess, as messy as possible, with red handwriting on the wall, or I keep my sword in its sheath!

LA RAZA IS ON THE MOVE..... FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM

 

La Raza is on the move…..

By: Patricio Gomez (Mexican American Political Association)

Mass mobilizations are on the order of the day throughout the nation headed towards Washington, D.C. and for those who cannot, well, they are headed to the local federal building in their vicinity or simply the municipal city hall.  And their resounding demand is for comprehensive immigration reform NOW!  Immigrant rights coalitions or networks or alliances from this or that state, estimated 35 in all, and hundreds of cities are united to make this happen in 2013.  There is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of immigrants and their friends and family will hit the bricks to demand reform.  And, this is just the beginning.  We still have May Day, the International Workers’ Day celebrated on May 1^st, ahead of us.  Heaven help the politicians.  The only question is will these mobilizations exceed the numbers that raised their heads, fists, and voices in 2006? 

We were robbed of the possibility of immigration reform in 2006 and again in 2007 under the Bush administration.  President Obama failed us in 2008 and during the succeeding four years, his first term, instead of immigration reform we got massive La Migra raids into personal homes, mass deportations, expansion of E-Verify at the workplace, Secured Communities networking local police with federal authorities, and continued construction of the U.S.– Mexico border fence – begun under President Bill Clinton at the insistence of Senator Diane Feinstein.  Hey, these are all Democrats.  Can anyone seriously entertain with a straight face that they did so because of the Republicans?  I don’t think so.  That’s not to say that the Republicans were not supportive and demanding more.  They were, big time.

By the end of this year some two (2) million of our family members will be deported from the U.S.  This is greater than the 1950s under Operation Wetback, the infamous deportation military operation, under Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the former Five Star General and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II.  Even the Department of Homeland Security admits that more than 65 percent of those deported have no criminal record.  Again, by close of 2013 approximately 2,450 deaths will have occurred at the border under Obama – family members attempting to reunite with their loved ones on the American side.  No one likes to talk about these statistics when it comes to a Democratic administration.  It’s down-right embarrassing when you consider that the majority of Latino voters cast in favor of candidates from this political party – tweedledee, the twin of tweedledum.

 Now comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) means different things to different folks.  President Obama’s take on CIR includes a temporary visa of 8 years along the “path to citizenship” (thirteen to fifteen years in all); a bracero-type program to accommodate big business, not just in agriculture; a more aggressive crack-down on employers for hiring undocumented workers and expansion of the E-Verify program; further militarization of the border; and he’s even throwing in the kitchen sink for good measure.  The senate version is expected to look very similar with perhaps even additional years of temporary status, and certification of border enforcement effectiveness.  The house version will be a mix between these two, however, leaning more to the right.  It’s hard to imagine moving any further.

But, the people’s version of CIR is something quite different.  Once people start marching and demanding their rights there is no telling where things will end up.  Immigrants are clamoring for legalization for all and a direct and immediate path to citizenship with minimal, but reasonable requirements.  Demands to end border militarization and interior raids can be heard in every march.  Immediate permanent residency for Dreamers is a recurring slogan.  No bracero-type programs for workers, farm laborers or others, precedes even Cesar Chavez as popular sentiment amongst immigrants even today.  Free wage labor is their cry, not indentured servitude.  Yes, these are the demands of the immigrants on the move and things look much different from 2006.

Seven years is not a long time for political organizing, however, much can certainly change.  There is also a fundamental difference between mobilizing to oppose an anti-immigrant legislation, as was the case in 2006 with HR-4437 the Sensenbrenner Bill, and marching in favor of the real prospect of immigration reform.  The people and their organizers have learned much in seven years.  If alliances were tenuous and newly created in 2006, the same have had seven years to mature and be tested with many anti-immigrant state measures, multiple election cycles, more sophisticated use of both English and Spanish media, many defiant acts of civil disobedience by Dream youth, and really important, virtual social networking, which was only in its infancy in 2006 (remember My Space).  Today, it is not possible to open a Facebook page without being introduced to a new immigrant rights coalition or Dream Team in Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Chicago, North Carolina, Florida, not to mention the biggies of California, Texas, and New York. 

Immigrant families have the titanic battles of Arizona under their belt and the recall of the author of the nasty SB1070.  Dreamers forced the hand of Obama and we won the Deferred Action Program by executive order – a legal waiver of sorts for 1.2 million undocumented youth.  Families have withstood the humiliating separation of their brood due to Obama’s deportation policies.  And, Latino voters stupefied the Republican Party in the November presidential elections with their strong tilt for the president even surprising the White House.

Truly there is no turning back.  Once enlightened by civic action the formerly politically illiterate cannot live any longer in the same way with blinders. They have found the word and now own it.  La Raza is on the move and no one can tell where things will end up….

Subject: [New post] An Interview With Gonzalo Ituarte on Maya Theology

Chiapas Support Committee posted: "The Church Weakened Its Social Leadership: Ituarte ** "Without the contributions of liberation theology, one cannot understand what happens today in the Vatican" By: Blanche Petrich Fray Gonzalo Ituarte Verduzco, provincial of the Dominican" Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Compañero Manuel An Interview With Gonzalo Ituarte on Maya Theology by Chiapas Support Committee The Church Weakened Its Social Leadership: Ituarte Gonzalo Ituarte ** "Without the contributions of liberation theology, one cannot understand what happens today in the Vatican" By: Blanche Petrich Fray Gonzalo Ituarte Verduzco, provincial of the Dominican order in Mexico, assures that without the contributions liberation theology that was profiled in the 1960s and 70s –the era of the "red bishops" and persecution against the progressive clergy in Latin America– "one cannot understand what is happening today in the Vatican; one cannot understand Pope Francisco," although the Argentine prelate comes from a current of conservative thought. He asserts this from a trajectory of almost three decades of construction of a different theology, at the side of don Samuel Ruiz, which placed the Diocese of San Cristóbal de las Casas team in confrontation with the Vatican. The former Vicar of the diocese that transformed the profile of Chiapas in the last century, a participant in the failed peace negotiations between the federal government and the Zapatista National Liberation Army in San Andrés Larráinzar and the parish priest of Ocosingo, at the epicenter of the conflict, Ituarte Verduzco gives the benefit of the doubt to the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now anointed as head of the Catholic Church, before the denunciations expressed about his complicity or silence in the face of the State terrorism that the Argentinian military dictatorship exercised. –Yes, I give him the benefit of the doubt, because I give myself the same. I have lived an evolution; coming from a traditional Catholic family, with a very conservative view as student at the Latin American University. And because just like so many people in countries where there have been dictatorships, clerics had different capacities and lucidity in relation to the State and the context. The fact that Pope Francisco was not a militant opponent of the dictatorship does not necessarily make him an active accomplice. People go on changing, taking consciousness. Bergoglio was institutional and had the difficult papal role, with the obligation of protecting the Company of Jesus and the people with which he worked. In the 90,s Ituarte lived in the headlights of the media, frequently as spokesperson for the bishop, as the port office for the denunciations and calls for attention from the communities of his diocese, since before the Zapatista Uprising until the failed dialogue in San Andrés (1995-1996). He was secretary of the National Mediation Commission (Conai, its initials in Spanish) and it fell to him, on the eve of the Acteal Massacre, to warn the deaf ears of the Chiapas government of the tragedy that was approaching (December 22, 1997). Since 2005, when he was elected the provincial for his congregation, that of the Preachers, he disappeared from the public scene. Now he returns to the arena and, in an interview, expresses optimism in the face of the change in the Vatican leadership. Pope Francisco, seen from the rebel Church –A Jesuit pope, Latin American, who opts for the name of Francisco as a signal for putting the vision of the poor at the center: how is he seen from the band of religious folks that, like you, lived the route of the option for the poor? –Through the instinct of the hope that there is in Christianity we find very positive signs. We don't want to be ingenious, because a structure like that of the Church, with its more than a billion affiliated and with all the factors that fall into it, does not change so quickly and radically. A person, although he may have a conservative formation from a doctrinal point of view, but with a beginning and a social practice like that of the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, indeed generates a different possibility. We hope that he attains it, with consistency, with perseverance, with spirit and solidarity. –What elements, beyond the image and the gestures, seem hopeful in Pope Francisco? –Since 200 years ago there has not been a pope that has opted for the priesthood not in a diocese but in a religious congregation. Besides, the Jesuits' order has the logic of community life, close to the reality. –How can he be different, because of having been a cardinal not diocesan? –There is more feeling of itinerancy, of change, of advance, of the recognition of plurality, a broader vision of the Church, because the priests in congregations have more freedom and mobility by belonging to communities, not having properties, although sometimes we get trapped. But basically we take the oath of poverty to not be tied to our goods, our territory. –With the new papacy, what's going to happen with liberation theology? –The debate about liberation theology passes to a second level, because it is also evolving. Liberation theology, as we live it, took the paradigm of the class struggle, the struggle for equality and justice as a central theme. We're not going to have a Church like don Samuel's again; that already passed. Today there is a contextual theology with a perspective from different environments and spaces. For example: feminist theology, theologies from the African, Latin American and Indian cultures and realities. The class struggle is no longer at the center. But without liberation theology one cannot understand what is happening now in the Vatican, one cannot understand the current pope. Even with the incomprehension that did exist, the Church was touched by that era; it was enormously enriched. Nevertheless, theology continues evolving. For example, today there is a new evaluation of cultures, which has permitted Indian theology to evolve. It is profoundly revolutionary that from the peoples of Central America and Mexico, basically the Maya culture, a theology is being developed from their cultures, not from Western ideology; that the ones who are writing this story are indigenous theologians. It is something very new, which is escaping the Western paradigms. Faith is visualized from the Indian cosmovision, with its myths, rituals and traditions. And dimensions continue appearing that are not going to have the name liberation theology, but that come from there and are profoundly liberating. –Where, concretely, is this being generated? –Chiapas, definitely, Guatemala, El Salvador, Yucatán. They meet systematically, do a review of their own tradition, of the old Maya testament contrasted with Western tradition and are seeing the different dimensions. That gives them a re-affirmation to dialogue as equals. And the women's perspective: there are very lucid theologies that are opening paths for liberation. And the theology of migration: the Bible is the book of migrations; it is the fruit of many cultures that interact and Enright each other. Saving an enormous distance –The Church's base communities, the liberation theologians, the religious people that were active in the option for the poor always paddled against the current of dominant ideas in Rome. The distance has been abysmal. How can one be saved now? –It is difficult for a person that lives in an intellectual world, so far from the reality of the Latin American poor, as the high spheres are in Rome, to understand what was gestating and developing there below. The problem is that the Church transferred so much power to the papacy that it weakened the leadership of the social church, the diocese and the local pastors. –Are there clear signs of that about which you speak –Bible, liberating theology or whatever it may be called in the future, commitment– is the new pope interested or will we have to point it out to him? –The fact that he has been in close proximity with the poor makes me hope that it is indeed on his horizon. Argentina, with its crisis, with the recent struggles, including the confrontation that he has had with the current government, indicates that these themes are indeed present and he will have to address them. And we must help him. ---------------------------------------------------------- Originally Published in Spanish by La Jornada Translation: Chiapas Support Committee Saturday, April 6, 2013 En español: http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2013/04/06/sociedad/040n1soc Chiapas Support Committee | April 8, 2013 at 4:45 pm | Tags: Current EZLN News, Liberation Theology, Pope Francisco | Categories: Zapatista Reporting | URL: http://wp.me/p1JK5u-br Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
