If Christmas songs fall foul of Labour's 'banter ban', Christmas carols ? with their 'offensive' assertions of the divinity of Christ that are deemed blasphemous by Islam ? are even more likely to, says Julian Mann.

Keir Starmer is preparing to tie Britain to the EU's Net Zero plans in a move that would impose radically stricter 'green' energy targets on homes and businesses, leading to further deindustrialisation and impoverishment.

Carlos Mesa, Pressie of Bolivia has resigned.

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Monday March 07, 2005 10:18author by never having had a brace on my fangs Report this post to the editors

"its over to you citizens of Bolivia" (Bolivia is named after Bolivar) (could you guess that?)

After only 19 months as Pressie, Carlos had a think about it last night and announced via telly, that just can't go on. He'll do the official signing off bits in the congress later today.

Meanwhile members of the public are thinking about doing a street thing, and the right and centre parties of the congress are asking that they don't.

And what is it all about you may ask?

Campesin@s is the answer.

the social assembly organisation MAS (movement for socialism) has gradually been chipping away at "stability" of the country on account of the Bolivian miners.

Miners are workers who in the first world, suffer from horrible desieses, spend their lives down dodgy tunnels and use the finest tools to extract "from the bowels of the earth" useful stuff like -

fossil fuels, (with which we heat up the atmosphere)
gold, (which poor people eat)
uranium (which we sell to the scientist for their "experiments" after which it is sent by boat to the English to turn it into "plutonium" which is safer)

Miners in the campesin@ part of the world, are just the same miners in the first, except they don't have the same songs, have half the life expectancy and don't get social security, pensions, decent schools for their kids, and can't afford to buy U2 compact discs exhorting them to be better.

The capital of Bolivia is La Paz which means Peace.

Symbolically this is a city where US shiny tooth brigade waving posters calling for independence from Syria "which part don't you get?" would really go down badly.

Go on - try us!

Bolivia the poorest nation in south America, independent since 1825, has gone through so much. & is going [this is additional "coverage here-" and yet something else it is the "before"...]
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70194

Carlos Mesa the president who resigned twice, went through a lot too. To form opinion on all of this, we need to go beyond trivia, beyond cliché, after all just as in the Ukraine last year, we see all the "opinion formers" take up "sides" and even in the poorest nation on earth there must be the same differences which at first seem irreconcilable, that of indiginous (though over 60% they are still not 100%) and "creole". That of rancher and campesino. That of navy marine and soldier from the west. That of miner and urban dweller. That of catholic and humanist. that of south american bolivarian, and bolivian capitalist.
As part of the background to the "historic" day, complete with "historic" locations, over 30 BIP hungerstrikes, polarisation of several provinces, shifting positions at both grass-root and powerbroking level, the OAS summit in Florida, the upcoming G8, here's the speech Carlos Mesa made to the United Nations General Assembly in 2002 when he was vice-president... before he accepted the presidency... before he said he couldn't deal with it ... before he again accepted the presidency... before he again said he would rather resign... before the same "opinion formers" take up again the "sides"... before...
