My Take Home

COYUNTURA AMLO " No Pasaran!"

 

a reporter:

"Seven weeks after 

 the July 2 electoral debacle,

 Mexico finds itself 

at a dangerously combustible conjunction ..."

 

 A FILTHY RICH WHITE ELITE 

works behind the great facade

 of a democratic republic

  "to impose its will 

upon a largely brown and impoverished populous "

not bad eh ??



====================


WHERE DOES THE THEATRE END

    WILL THIS UPRISING MORPH 

FROM  PROTEST PAGEANT 

  TO NON VIOLENT RESISTENCE ???

----------------------------------

amplo's  called

  for a million delegate

national democratic convention

 to convene in the zocolo 

   this september

     on independence day

   danton:"  audacity audacity "

 

  on the agenda :

  moves  towards 

" a government in resistence "



our reporter again :

"The first National Democratic Convention

 took place behind rebel lines 

in the state of Aguascalientes in 1914 

at the apogee of the Mexican Revolution 

when the forces of Francisco Villa 

and his Army of the North first 

joined forces 

with Zapata's Liberating Army

 of the Southern Revolution.



 The second National Democratic Revolution

 took place 80 years later in 1994,

 in a clearing in the Lacandon Jungle 

of Chiapas when the Zapatista Army of National Liberation 

wedded itself to the civil society 

in an uprising that rocked Mexico 

all throughout the '90s. 



(Eclipsed by events, the EZLN 

and its quixotic spokesperson

 Subcomandante Marcos 

have disappeared from the political map 

in the wake of the fraudulent election)

What this third National Democratic Convention

 is all about is now being debated 

in PRD ruling circles 

and down at the grassroots.

 Minimally, a plan of organized resistance

 that will dog Felipe Calderon 

for the next six years, 

severely hampering his ability to rule

 will evolve from this mammoth conclave...."

 "The declaration 

of 

a government

 in resistance

 headed by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador "

   one thinks of al gore
