Colombia, the IRA, the U.S. and manifest Destiny Matt Seigfried The ruling class of the United States has long viewed everything south of the Rio Grande as its exclusive domain. The United States became a capitalist power based on the genocidal clearing of North America of its native inhabitants coupled with chattel slavery and culling of the huge natural resources existing between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It became an imperialist power on the backs of Latin American workers and peasants as well as the wholesale theft of everything from the fruit that hung from the trees to the oil and metals that lay below them. Generations before the US became the global power it is today US marines were enforcing the rule of US corporations in Latin America and the Caribbean. The justifications have changed, but the relationship has remained the same. [Fourthwrite] Comments: Google It! 7:10:50 AM

Dancing On The Graves Of Ten Men Dead Anthony McIntyre Getting up early on a Sunday morning is nothing new. Nor is there anything particularly daunting about it. In jail I could never lie on late, and as most of my time from the age of 16 to 35 was under lock and key in one prison or another for IRA activity, early rising became something of a lifetime habit. But having spent the previous evening - which stretched into the early hours - at a birthday bash for a member of the Socialist Worker's Party, getting out of the pit, not remotely refreshed by only a few hours kip, was something I did not particularly relish. Had it not been for republican prisoners in Maghaberry I would have slept on. [The Blanket] Comments: Google It! 7:01:51 AM
