Picket line in New York City protests repression of striking miners in Cananea, MX
NEW YORK, 12 January -- The attack by over 800 state and federal police and Mexican army soldiers, aimed at dislodging striking miners from Cananea (Sonora state), was answered with a protest picket in New York. In front of the Mexican consulate, some 20 demonstrators proclaimed their solidarity with the mineworkers, who have been on strike since July 30 against terrible safety conditions at the Cananea complex and against government attacks on the workers.

The CPP-NPA-NDF “Hit List” - a preliminary report
It is essential to understand the real scope of the assassination policy of Left activists pursued, after the 1992 crisis, by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), its military arm, the New People’s Army (NPA) and its politico-diplomatic arm, the National Democratic Front (NDF).

FYI: Michael Moore on Iowa Vote and the War
Looks like a good number of antiwar youth have entered the electoral arena whether folks here think it a waste of time or not. What's worth pondering is how one best forms an alliance with THEM for antiwar activity during and after the campaign. Hint: Not by denouncing their champion as a same-as-Bush advocate of war and them as fools and suckers. --CarlD (image/jpeg)

The Case for Socialized Medicine in the United States, and the Struggle to Achieve It
The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee blasted insurance giant CIGNA for failing to approve a liver transplant one week earlier for 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, who tragically died just hours after CIGNA relented and agreed to the procedure following a massive national outcry. “CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro called the final outcome ‘a horrific tragedy that demonstrates what is so fundamentally wrong with our health care system today. Insurance companies have a stranglehold on our health. Their first priority is to make profits for their shareholders – and the way they do that is by denying care." "It is simply not possible to organize major protests every time a multi-billion corporation like CIGNA denies care that has been recommended by a physician," DeMoro said. “Having insurance is not the same as receiving needed care. We need a fundamental change in our healthcare system that takes control away from the insurance giants and places it where it belongs – in the hands of the medical professionals, the patients, and their families."

FYI: Nader throws support to Edwards
While I'd go for Kucinich or Richardson in round one, it's interesting that Nader goes for the candidate closer to him on strategic matters, and also professionally as an anti-corporate trial lawyer, than those closer to him tactically on the issues of the day, such as the war, or closer to those in at least part of his base, the Greens who like Kucinich, such as myself. But then I never liked how Nader played footsie with Pat Buchanan on trade, either. I never blamed him, though, for Gore's defeat, since I believe our vote belongs to each of us, and not any political bloc, and the candidates' task is to win it, if they can. Anyway, by that logic, one should blame Monica Moorehead, the Workers World Party candidate. She got double the amount of votes in Florida than Bush's supposed margin over Gore. (image/jpeg)

Oprah vs War: What Does It Mean for Us?
[Note from CarlD: Interesting piece. I think it shows the potential for UFPJ and others to intervene in EVERY 2008 campaign--not to endorse anyone, but to make opposition to the war both 'legitimate' and the central focus. Time to start the planning to set up 'Peace and Justice Voters 2008' groups everywhere that don't belong to any party to get the job done.] . (image/jpeg)

The May 13, 1985 MOVE Bombing: Suicide or State-sanctioned Murder?
"If you look close enough you can see history altered before your eyes. Pick up the latest Guinness Book of World Records, flip to page 123 and you will see what I mean. Under the section 'Cults, Fans and Followers' the police bombing of the MOVE Organization in 1985 is listed as the sixth most deadly mass suicide in recent history…. Yes, you did read that correctly. A deliberate massacre, in which police dropped a bomb on a house, intentionally allowed the fire to burn and shot at those that dared attempt an escape, was labeled as mass suicide," writes MOVE supporter Kevin Price in his recent essay <a href="http://phillyimc.org/en/2007/11/43165.shtml">"MOVE's Battle With Guinness."</a> <p> Price's essay follows a recent <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/michael_klein/inqlings/20071101_Inqlings___MOVEs_Guinness_record_riles_survivor.html">Philadelphia Inquirer interview</a> with Ramona Africa, <a href="http://prisonradio.org/RamonaAfrica.htm">the sole adult survivor</a> of the May 13, 1985 police assault. <a href="http://onamove.com/">MOVE</a> has confronted Guinness and is asking people to <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/OnaMove">sign a petition</a> in protest. <p> Past Philly IMC coverage has documented the <a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39473.shtml">long history of media bias</a> towards MOVE, the upcoming <a href="http://insubordination.blogspot.com/2007/07/attention-move-this-is-america.html">Parole Hearings for the remaing MOVE prisoners</a>, interviews with Ramona Africa in <a href="http://www.publicenemy.com/pb/viewtopic.php?t=21398&sid=1">2002</a> & <a href="http://www.altpr.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=7">2003</a>, and demonstrations in Philadelphia(<a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39534.shtml">1</a>, <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/08/08/17585141.php">2</a>).
