These modern day Luddites insist that technological civilization (especially the industrialized world ) will careen out of control and they (the annointed priesthood) must march us backwards… no many how many of you have to die to fulfill their distopian vision.

The genocidal Aztecs are a perfect metaphor for the brand of human sacrifice these narcisistic monsters hope to inflict upon Chiapas… and elsewhere.

The Mexican government is acting subtly in Chiapas. It has decided to let the Zapatistas die a natural death. No open crackdown, but support for mass defections and paramilitary groups reacting to Zapatista repression, social and economic investments in Chiapas, and public silence. PRI is now regularly winning elections in Chiapas, Marcos is regularly ignored and, since his offer of support for the murderous ETA terrorist group in Spain (which was ridiculed by Spanish judge Garzon and rejected even by ETA), spiraling toward obscurity.

Meanwhile, the victims of Marcos’ attempts at Utopia are becoming poorer and poorer in Mexico’s poorest state. Thus, the world’s first “virtual insurgency” has ended where all things virtual do when confronted with real life: in an increasingly remote corner of our memory. And that is where it should remain.

Useful idiots (like Beale) who prop up these Marxist goons are participating in the immoral repression of indigenous people.

Shame on the Daily Lobo for serving as accomplices to Marxist monsters— like blue-eyed, white-skinned, pipe-smoking leader, Sebastian Vicente (a.k.a. “Subcomandante Marcos”)— the racial supremacist heartthrob of “progressive” Americans.

And finally his appreciation of the “villiage mentality” is quite interesting, and he believes that it is some foreign or difficult concept. We see that mentality alive and well in some of the Hispanics in Albuquerque. It’s not magic, and it has both pros and cons as does everything else.

Overall Beale, it’s nice you were able to “go home” for your vacation; however your limited view points are incomplete at best.

First: there is no evidence, other than the government’s word, that Rafael Sebastián Guillén Vicente is actually Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. Next, the Zapatistas never rejected government aid by force. They simply don’t accept it. People living in the region are free to accept government aid, but those that do are not considered Zapatistas. Zapatista communities have lower rates of alcoholism, infant mortality, school dropout, etc. and less people leave them to migrate to the city (or the U.S. – so you should probably support their policies, no?) This is according to the Mexican government’s own National Institute of Statistics and Geography, a group that would seem to have every reason to try to discredit the Zapatistas, since they’re funded by the government.

It’s true that there are pitifully few doctors, but that’s a regional characteristic. It’s due to the fact that rural communities in Chiapas do not really make money (which, of course, is needed to pay doctors in a capitalist system,) but instead rely on growing food to feed themselves. This has become more difficult since the government redacted article 27 of the Mexican constitution, guaranteeing people the right to own their own land, which sparked a flow of immigration to the U.S. and was one of the causes of the Zapatista rebellion. This redaction was done as a necessary step in the passage of NAFTA.

It could certainly be construed as a problem that the government takes a tax on foreign contributions, but the stores that you refer to support themselves. The fact that you call the women’s clothing store a vendor of “ridiculous folk art” reveals your racist, arrogant worldview: these “ridiculous” crafts are indigenous weaving techniques that have been practiced for centuries.

This so-called “government supported natural death” is anything but natural. You yourself admit to the existence of paramilitary groups. What, exactly is the definition of a paramilitary group? It’s a government-supported, government-armed group that acts as a branch of the military. These paramilitary groups announced their arrival in 1997 by murdering 47 unarmed people, including 25 women and 15 children in the city of Acteal. Although the government certainly is in favor of people leaving Zapatista communities, this supposed “mass defection” is not actually happening. Check the INEGI website for the facts on this (you will, of course, have to able to read Spanish.) Furthermore, in the last seven years, the government has opened at least 57 new military installations in Zapatista regions, according to the Chiapas-based Center for Political Analysis and Social and Economic Investigations (CAPISE.) This is not something the government would bother doing if the “virtual insurgency” had, in fact, ended.

The government does not attack them simply because it cannot. After the admittedly violent Zapatist uprising, the government indiscriminately bombed the hell out of the central mountains in Chiapas, but stopped due to overwhelming public support of the Zapatista movement, manifested in mass demonstrations in the nation’s capital.

PRI has won elections in the region because the Zapatistas do not vote. Their attempt at working within the political system failed, as the government refused to honor the Acuerdos de San Andreas. Of course, if you had bothered to check the election results from the July 4 elections, available two days before the date of your post, you would realize that in the regional and city-wide elections held in Chiapas (gubernatorial elections were not held this year,) the majority of those elected were from the UPC.

Marcos’ “support” of the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna was nothing more than an attempt to focus the attention of the world on a problem he saw. He did not declare support of their methods, but instead proposed that the government initiate a reconciliation process. Neither the ETA nor the Spanish government wanted this, and Marcos later admitted that it was a mistake to try to take on a problem so far away that he was not connected to.

As for being ignored, as Marcos said: “The media only reports on us when we kill or are killed, but for now at least, we would like to avoid these kinds of reports.” The caracoles have been functioning successfully, and nonviolently, for nearly seven years now. You may consider them obscure, but the people of Chiapas certainly do not.

Your name and your description of “blue-eyed, white-skinned” Marcos seem to imply that the Zapatistas are a white-supremacist movement. This is completely, absolutely, absurd. The EZLN (of which Marcos is a leader) is a separate branch from the Caracol system. The EZLN does not act without orders from the combined leaders of the Juntas de Buen Gobierno, who represent the caracoles. Every member of the community is expected to serve on the Junta at some point, provided they are able to, and the term limits are extremely short, making the Junta the most “representative” form of democracy in the known world. There are very, very few, if not none at all, white members of the Juntas, as they are drawn from the populations of the zapatista communites, which are of course indigenous peoples.

Your post seems to imply that you have actually visited Oventic, but I would guess that this is not the case. I think it is more likely that you pulled this information from some Neo-conservative blog.

Your idiocy is not even useful, anti-supremacist, and I would suggest dropping the “anti” from your name.

Further AB denies that the blue-eyed, white-skinned, pipe-smoking leader, Sebastian Vicente, is (in fact) the racial supremacist goon Marcos. AB then goes on to pretend knowing what motivates the unknown masked avenger. This is beyond delusional.

AB reports [Marcos said: “The media only reports on us when we kill or are killed, but for now at least, we would like to avoid these kinds of reports.”] If this quote is accurately reported, then AB is evidently conspiring with a self-confessed vigilantee murderer.

If the Daily Lobo editors care at all about its reporters, then they have an obligation to inquire about the safety of AB with American embassy authorities. AB’s objectivity has clearly been compromised to the point that he now explains and justifies EZLN murder. Is AB a hostage? Or a willing co-conspirator in racial supremacist vigilantism?

In any case, Mexican authorities should be advised of this alarming situation.

The men milled about on the shoulder of the mountain road, their faces hooded and masked. Christmas was just three days away but first they had some killing to do.

After an hour, the shooters advanced downhill, firing their weapons as they pushed forward through the wounded trees. At the bottom of the hill, the dead were spread around a wood plank chapel where they had been fasting and praying for several days.

Most were women, their dead children still clinging to them. The shooters continued down the ravine, taking their time, killing their victims slowly, slicing them open with machetes. Four of the women were pregnant. Marcela Capote, the wife of the catechist, was nearly at full term and they hacked open her womb and yanked out the baby inside and dashed its skull against the rocks. They told each other that they had come to kill “la Semilla”—the seed.

Although the press regularly reports that the number of those massacred at Acteal was 45, “Las Abejas” (“The Bees”) have always said 46 of their comrades died December 22nd, 1997, including Marcela Capote’s baby. Last year, on the ninth anniversary of the massacre, they upped the count to 49 to honor the three other pregnant women murdered by the paramilitaries—21 women, 15 children, nine men, and four unborn babies.

Horrendous as it was, the Acteal massacre was not the most lethal in a history that is stained with such mass killings—the Conquistadores and the Revolution saw to that. Under the governance of President Ernesto Zedillo, four massacres occurred between June 1995 and June 1998 that took a total of 87 lives. Acteal was not even the bloodiest mass killing in recent Chiapas memory—that dubious honor goes to the massacre by the Mexican military of at least 60 Indian farmers at Golonchan in 1979 during the regime of PRI governor Juan Sabines, whose son, also named Juan, is the current governor of the state.

:P

But if there were spies, they are in the group already. You must also know that there are defectors who first believed and then became disillusioned by all the foreign university students who support the rebel group who come here under the pretext to make this comment: “This is why the Daily Lobo cCulture sSection recommendsI recommend Oventic as the place to study Spanish this summer.”

The following Beale comment says it all: “Spanish classes at Oventic are not like Spanish classes at UNM. You will not spend time memorizing irregular verb conjugations in the Subjuntivo form (although there is a dog that lives there named Subjuntivo, if that’s worth anything.) Instead, your classes will be conducted in Spanish, but cover a broad range of subjects from politics to history to philosophy to Tzotzil culture.” First you write: “This is why the Daily Lobo cCulture sSection recommendsI recommend Oventic as the place to study Spanish this summer.” Then you write that there this is “not like Spanish classes at UNM.” So, what you actually learned is indoctrination and as an official writer for the Daily Lobo, you then recommend it to students?

Were any UNM funds used to send Beale on his Marxist indoctrination tour? Who paid for his offical trip as the Cultural Editor for the Daily Lobo? Don’t hide or cover-up this either Beale. You wrote a reply above and if you pretend to hide or didn’t see this post, you will then be subject to an official investigation. Who sent you, were you paid, and who paid your expenses?

Don’t hide behind the “I’m a reporter” either. You have gone beyond that since you had to have said something to the “Red de Solidaridad con Mexico, or Mexico Solidarity Network” to let you in. What did you say? “I’m a reporter” wouldn’t cut it! You had to go beyond that!

Also, I googled Mexico Solidarity Network and I came up with a link to ANSWER, a Communist group. Then I found a site, SOLIDNET.ORG, that says they are a group of International Communist organizations that include the Mexican Communist Party and our Communist Party USA. I was also surprised at the numerous Communist parties in Arab countries including Iraq and Palestine.

I also googled the Zapatistas and they did not carry “sticks” like you posted in a previous article. They did not use public transportation since they attacked in the middle of the night when no buses were running. I also can’t imagine that the bus drivers would let armed men with bandanas on the bus since that bus driver was a local. I found that 154 people were killed and I guess with “sticks?”

Another google search said that many of the Indian ladies were poorer since the tourists were not coming so they catered to the American’s and others who were in awe of the Zapatistas so the ladies made “Marcos Dolls” that only these “useful idiots” would buy. Anyone who buys one of these dolls is now being watched by real “government spies.” They are now suspects in aiding an armed rebellion which the Mexican government should arrest the likes of Andrew “I’m a reporter” Beale and all the other supporters who are funding this rebellion!

“And be open-minded, or you’re not going to get a lot out of the experience.” Your mind had to be made up before you got there in order for you to be allowed into the area. What did you tell them?

Beale: “The Zapatista rebellion began in 1994, when masked rebels took over several cities in Chiapas.”

Is it the official position of the University of New Mexico to fund and aid a “rebellion” and “rebels?”

CNN has fired Octavia Nasr, a senior Mideast editor, after her post on Twitter about the death of one of the forefathers of Hezbollah raised concerns at the network about her journalistic credibility.

Nasr had tweeted: “Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah… One of Hezbollah’s giants I respect a lot.” A blog post later explained her position on the subject, but it wasn’t enough to convince the channel she could stay in her position.

In an internal CNN memo obtained by Mediate.com, Parisa Khosravi, senior vice president of CNN International Newsgathering, said, “At this point, we believe that her credibility in her position as senior editor for Middle Eastern affairs has been compromised going forward. As a colleague and friend we’re going to miss seeing Octavia everyday.”

There needs to be a change and the only way to achieve it is through the sponsors who pay for half and full page ads. There are hundreds of newspapers still left in the bins every morning which proves the Lobo is not being read or even an interest which then proves that the ads are not being looked at or coupons are not used so it is a waste of money to put an ad in the first place!

The Frontier and Saggios should speak up!

The court ruled 6-3 Monday that the government may prohibit all forms of aid to designated terrorist groups, even if the support consists of training and advice about entirely peaceful and legal activities.

Material support intended even for benign purposes can help a terrorist group in other ways, Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion.

“Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends,” Roberts said.

ESLN would be one such example. It has conducted terrorist attacks in Mexico with one part of its organization while running (allegedly) charitable endeavors with another.

Fundraising for EZLN to support its outreach programs would allow EZLN to use the money elsewhere, or even if the specific money was applied to the charitable work, it would allow EZLN to not have to dip into the charity funds for its terrorist activities.

So, a big thank you to all the EZLN-huggers at the Daily Lobo for making it easier for Obama’s NSA to track your URL and Holder’s Justice Department to prosecute your material support propaganda campaign. Great job, traitors.

A few years ago, a Zapatista display praising their movement was in a second floor room in Zimmerman. Don Schrader was silent on this rebel group who killed humans to achieve part of their goal.

Funds were also raised, at UNM, in the 80’s for the Marxist rebel movement in El Salvador. UNM even allowed the Campus Committee for Human Rights to bring a female rebel to give a speech. The Daily Lobo quoted Mercedes Salgada: “In order to be in the FMLN, one has to be willing to kill another Salvadorian!” UNM Peace and Human Rights groups sponsored and cheered her?

Boycott Israel? BDS? Hamas supporters? Diversity? Funding rebel movements? Indoctrinating students? Trips to known Communist-controlled zones to “learn Spanish?” Racist groups like La Raza and Black-oriented groups controlling the university?

Daily Lobo is but one tool of these America hate/love Communists groups!

The Daily Lobo has been in control of the Leftists for decades!”

Let’s rewrite this a bit….

“Can they name one moderate or progressive employee at Fox News much less a reporter that will openly claim they are? What is the percentage of progressives compared to neo-cons?

The Fox News has been in control of the neo-cons for decades!”

Or…

“Can they name one moderate or Nazi employee at DL much less a reporter that will openly claim they are? What is the percentage of Leftists compared to Nazis?”

The point is your statement has no point. I guess it comes down to this: if you don’t like the DL, don’t read it.

Then Who funded Beales trip? said:

“Daily Lobo is but one tool of these America hate/love Communists groups!”

Could you BE any more redneck? But down your crack pipe and turn off NASCAR for a bit. If you don’t like the DL, then don’t read it.

A former congressman and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations pleaded guilty in federal court today to obstruction of justice and to acting as an unregistered foreign agent related to his work for an Islamic charity with ties to international terrorism, announced Beth Phillips, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri…

[Those puckering sounds you hear are the tightening sphincters of Leftist terrorist-huggers across the fruited plain.]

I’m not a redneck or watch NASCAR but just an average student that doesn’t think how your racism became important.

Gee G! You got really ruffled about the “Communist” label by the poster. Why?

I would also like to know the percentage of Leftists to Conservatives in the Daily Lobo staff.

“If you don’t like the DL, don’t read it?” I try not too since I get enough brainwashing from my professors!!! HA!

It’s as if the Editor calls Brian or Muhajir to have them write a letter to fill up space in the paper. Most, if not all, of what they write is beyond any reason or intelligence!

Also, did everyone know that you can look up the salaries of any UNM employee in a book at Zimmerman. It’s public knowledge at a public university. ALL records, expenditures, payments to outside vendors, invoices, and miscellaneous are public knowledge. Any payments and costs associatied to any trip in the state, national, or international travel can be requested by anyone.

I am now interested in finding out how a trip to Nicaragua and a rebel zone were paid for and who approved this type of obvious recruitment into a questionable cause since Beale himself said that “This is why I recommend Oventic as the place to study Spanish this summer” but then admits that you actually learn about “politics” which are surely tilted towards Marxist and Communist thought!

Recruiting and indoctrinating mostly naive students who think they are going to these areas to actually learn Spanish? What Scumbags!

:P

Central America was just one part of the puzzle. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Iraq, under Saddam, was at war with the Mullahs in Iran. The U.S. funded the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan and sided with, and also armed, Saddam in his war against Iran who held American hostages for 444 days which was the beginning of the Iranian Revolution that the world is still dealing with today.

The Soviets wanted a warm water port but they wanted more so they sought to take advantage of Jimmy “the Smile” Carter and in 1979 they aided in the violent take over of Nicaragua.

But then the end of the ninties came and the Soviet empire began to crumble. The Sandinistas lost the election which really angered American Communists since they put so much into spreading their ideals on this side of the world and to people who knew nothing of Karl Marx.

El Salvador and the rebels signed a peace agreement in the early nineties but the domino theory was already being planned in the offices of the American Communist Party or Communist Party of the United States of America. NAFTA was given approval by Congress and our Communists sought to use it as an excuse to continue the dominos.

Here came the 1994 Zapatistas who used NAFTA as their tool to takeover the minds and souls of naive Indians in Chiapas. Soon after their takeover of several small towns and the larger San Cristobal de las Casas, the American signs immediately appeared. “No Justice. No Peace.”

How could Mayan Indians, who lived in huts with no electricity, no running water, and no roads except trails and lived as they have for thousands of years, suddenly have the slogans, signs, and media onslaught if it were not for outside influence? It was part of the Communist/Internationalist grand plan of taking over Central America, Afghanistan and beyond, and into Mexico under the direction of the Mexican Communist Party and the Mexican Peace Council, one in the same.

Their hope was to spread it throughout Mexico and eventually spreading into the U.S. which was their ultimate goal. Their recruitment of university students, their infiltration of all churches and all religions, and their infiltrations of all levels of government, intended to prepare the next generation of leaders.

Those followers of Soviet KGB, the Cubans, and our American Communists, are now the leaders in control of the White House and Congress.

So the domino theory actually worked! But once the people see the truth and open their eyes to this Communist conspiracy, the American Communist Party and Democratic Party, filled with Communists, will go the way of every Communist empire!

Along with them will go the Marxist brainwashing by university professors and university newspapers!
