Here some parts of the final "Conference Statement":

"Facing all those challenges the 5th Cairo conference has concluded with the following recommendations:
..
- Organization of demonstrations worldwide against visits by Zionist officials/Bush, Cheney (*)
..
- Development of a website of Boycott of Zionist entity (**)
..
III. Building bridges between the Left and Islamic movements (***) against Imperialism and Globalization"

- etc..

* ?? Cheney, Bush - Zionists? Yeah, the USA are ruled by Jews!!! Only by Jews.. And the Jews - of course - are ruling everything (..and not the - international - capitalist class!!) BTW.. this a "really beautiful" example of pure anti-semitism!!! (*)

** a.k.a. Israel

*** Hamas/Islamic Jihad - "our strong allies"(^^) ..are ruling nowadays Gaza:

- In recent months, about three dozen Internet cafes and shops selling pop music have been attacked in the Gaza Strip, with assailants detonating small bombs outside businesses at night, causing damage.. Palestinian security officials have said they suspect a secret vice squad of Muslim militants." so the Israeli "left"-liberal daily Haaretz (4.15).

- Armed assailants set off explosives at an international school in northern Gaza early Saturday, damaging the building but causing no casualties, Palestinian security officials said.

 
The attack took place around 5 am, several hours before the start of the school day. The attackers overpowered security guards, then set off bombs in several areas of the school, security officials said.

 
The American International School, one of Gaza's best private schools.. has more than 600 students. In March 2006, the Dutch principal and an Australian teacher were briefly kidnapped, and foreign teachers left after that incident. (AP, 4.20)

민족, 민주 and 노동 - these three nouns modify or define the last word, 열사, so consequently, it means that Heo Se-uk dongji, the taxi driver who burnt himself, laid down his life for his nation, democracy and liberation of labor.

RACISM IN THE GERMAN ARMY

Well, it seems that the Bundeswehr, the German Army is already preparing for RAHOWA (*). Just watch following short docu:

"You now are in the Bronx.
A black Van stops in front of you.
Three Afroamericans step out and insult your mother on the roughest."

평양, 4.15

Before y'day (4.15) "the entire world celebrated the 95th birthday of Kim Il-sung, the Great Leader, the eternal President of the Korean people, the Shining Sun of the entire mankind.." (Rodong Shinmun).

And - because it was also celebrated in the DPRK - its leadership invited such "illustrious" birthday guests like a high-ranking delegation of the "Liberal Democratic" Party of Russia(LDPR) and gave a "great reception" (according to KCNA, 4.16) for them.

But the LDPR has complete nothing to do with liberalism and/or democracy. It is one of the most reactionary parties in the entire former Soviet Union/Russia. It's a very nationalist, racist organization (GNP/Hannara-dang, for instance, is - compared to the LDPR - a bunch of progressive activists..^^/eh~ sorry!!). LDPR has very good relationships to several European fascist organisations, such as Front National in France, the British National Party, NPD in Germany, Vlaams Belang in Belgium etc.. 

And in several articles Rodong Shinmun, during the last days, was glorifying/praising the ongoing struggle of the "Korean Style Socialism" against the (US) Imperialism/Capitalism. And this is exactly the same what - for example - the German (fascist) NPD means when it calls for "National Socialism instead of Capitalism"!!

FIGHT ALL KINDS OF NATIONALISM & RACISM!!

Prisons in Venezuela: Extreme Violence, Extreme Indifference

2007 began as a wonderful year for the power elite. The overwhelming victory upon their electoral competitors fills with air the saturated space that belongs to the “revolution” and their supporters. However, the penitentiary space does not “share” the same spirit of victory and oxygenation that does the chavista bureaucracy and, on the contrary, the year 2007 began with a sort of aberrant riots that serve as a prelude of the coming violent times.

* Extreme Violence

The past January 2 of 2007, it was started the new year in penitentiary matter with a quarrel at the Uribana prison of the Lara State due to a internal power struggle leaving an outcome of 16 dead prisoners and more than 13 injured ones, according to the official version offered at the midday by the Chief of the staff of the CORE-4, colonel José Enrique Maldonado Lupuy. According to the unofficial information obtained, all the leaders of minimum, middle and maximum were killed and even mutilated in some cases, with spiked sticks, fire arms and others. The happening that began in the midnight of Monday gave the mentioned outcome and only in the morning hours were reestablished the control of the prison.

In a first moment it was told about a fragmentary grenade that were flied and caused the deaths, however, that was refused by the military chief and he said that it was a riot for the control of the prison. As usually happens in those cases, the relatives were located at various meters of the prison due to the area was taken over by the military and just after 1.5 hour it was known officially the names of the dead imprisoned. In the morgue of the Hospital Central, the scenes of pain and desperation were growing while the unofficial information was passing from person to person between friends, relatives and even curious ones.

As it would be expected, the major “milico” of the CORE-4 filled his mouth telling that “the situation is under control”, applying for it the reorganization of the prison, the transference of the imprisoned implied on the crimes, counting on 200 men of the Guardia Nacional for stepping up vigilance in the external areas of the prison while the officials of the Ministerio de Interior y Justicia tried to control the internal areas. After the slaughters of that Monday, the January Wednesday 3, six of the imprisoned transferred from Uribana to Guanare resulted dead in a collective riot. It was told that it was an act of vengeance due to the happenings of the Uribana prison.

* Extreme Indifference

The Venezuelan population has become accustomed to live with the disasters generated inside prisons as it would be something natural. However, maybe the worst of it all is to look into the indifference and slovenliness that the red bureaucrats observed the situation. Beginning with the new Minister of Interior and Justice (MIJ), Pedro Carreño, that abstain himself from confirming the information about the riots, although he said that the Directora de Custodía y Rehabilitación, Fanny Márquez had moved to Guanare to know about the situation and informed that she will impulse the restructuring of the 25 prisons of the country as the messianic coming of the above-mentioned official could stop the violence between imprisoned and the absurd fact that restructuring an obsolete and out-of-date institution could get better the prison situation…

One person that does declare oneself against the situation was the Defensor del Pueblo (Ombdusman), Germán Mundaraín that regretted for the violence happenings in those penitentiary centers and for the general situation of the Venezuelan prisons because they “are against the well-known advances that – upon Human Rights – had been produced in other areas of society”. The aberrant cheek which is characteristic of the employees of the Venezuelan state seemed to be a “sine qua non” condition for occupying their positions. Another person in showing his cheek on that matter was the director of Sabaneta, Elí Ramón Salgado when he said that “everything is ok. The happenings of yesterday were a product of a confrontation among maximum security imprisoned and those of the so-called “prison”. The firsts tried to trespass to the seconds´s area and those killed them with fire arms.” As the imprisoned were animals, the officials shown a clear contempt for human life. Also, The Inter-american Court of Human Rights declared its preoccupation for the prison situation in Venezuela, but, as usual, this was not more than a text reproduced without any reflection about it in this Caribbean enclave.

* The mortal cycle

The extreme indifference which is shown by the authorities and the general society caused extreme violence as a mortal cycle. The lack of assistance, the slovenliness, the classical justification of a state where any arbitrariness has a justification – if you´ll forgive the repetition – are in a certain way the causes of those vandalism actions that only benefit the penitentiary authorities that are the first to introduce arms in the prisons. “Divide and Rule” tells a popular saying and this is the policy that is applied in prisons. For avoiding escapes and riots, the “authorities” are into favouring the riots between rival bands and they dispute for “territories” and in this manner maintaining a tense calm within prisons.

Uribana, Guanare and Sabaneta are premonitory cases of what could keep occurring. 8 years of Bolivarian “revolution” had been equivalent to 8 years of penitentiary carelessness. The social debt with the most forgotten sector of society is very big. No restructuring and no funds for get better the precincts: we, as anarchists demand the freedom of all the imprisoned and the substitution of the prisons for more human measures that do not carry the charge of freedom deprivation. Keeping them apart from society and imprisoning do not pay for the committed damage and do not rehabilitate to the individual. I don´t know if “socialism” is conquered by fighting but I do know that freedom does. Also, it is conquered demanding the just. We make a calling not only to the antiauthoritarian local movement but to the whole human race to put to a end to the prison system.

To organize right now a big network reporting the arbitrariness’s that happens in prisons and to break the cynical informative blockage, to organize into groups of similar interests according to its own means and strategic possibilities, in the margins of any party or establishment that pretends to monopolize the anti-prison struggle, to study in depth about the abolitionist principle and far from the irrational violence that it is the way of the state.

With nothing more to say but that we wait hopefully the fall of the Walls of Jerico and that the word prison would be a synonym of demolition.

¡¡¡ Down to the walls of prisons!!!

Following critical, controversial article (*) about the current anti-S.K.-US FTA movement/struggle I found several days ago on Jinbonet. Yesterday Jae-young ("marc") wrote a kind translation in summary about it.

Well, here it comes:

Organization for Building a Party for Liberation of Laborers (OBPLL: not official name) criticized that current way of the anti-KORUS FTA movement is fraught with petit bourgeois ‘nationalism slogans.’ Subsequently, they are contributing to the dismantlement of dynamic force of anti-KORUS FTA movement struggle by making obscure the frontline of laborers.

The title of the document by OBPLL is “Let’s struggle for the right of laborers to live, not for the protection of national interests.” It made it clear that “urging people to fight for the protection of national interests or our economy and industry is just shuffling the direction of our struggle and is only a delusion of the middle class which believes that they can join the side of Korean capitalists under the concept of the nation.

It also pointed out that such anti-KORUS FTA movement fraught with nationalism slogans “has just been yelling toward the sky in neglect of Korean capitalists’ class which is the very target to be attacked, and in the meantime KORUS FTA was signed, now making us face this worse situation where we are being forced to allow the FTA.”

OBPLL explains that the reason why most Korean capitalists except for agricultural and few industrial sectors welcome the KORUS FTA come to a settlement is that “they are sure that they will have the chance to increase their profit and wealth with the help of KORUS FTA.” It suggested an outlook that such thing will be possible since the way of restructuring is widely opened by the external shock so that they will be able to freely lay off the laborers and fill the vacant positions with contract workers.”

It analyzes that Korean Alliance Against KORUS FTA is led by the middle class civil movement force which is a group of nationalist ideology.

It also points out that delusion and ideology of nationalism was distributed among the laborers in general by the medium of the leaders of KDLP and labor union participating in the Korean Alliance Against KORUS FTA.

It emphasized that it is time for the laborers that they should throw away the nationalistic ideology and slogans and step forward to fight against FTA systematically and collectively under the slogans of their own demand such as “Smashing the restructuring!” “Desperate protection of the right of laborers to live!” “Abolish the irregular worker system!”

Influenced by this document by OBPLL, theoretical disputes around the issue of coming presidential election including KORUS FTA are expected to seriously begin among both major parties, PD (People's Democratic) and NL(National Liberty).

My simplified summary (once again):

THE N-S KOREAN UNIFICATION - JUST A "GOOD DEAL"(^^)

"An report estimated that it would cost North Korea 39.7 trillion won (approx. US$ 42.7 billions) during the first 14 years of reform and development." according to an article published 4.11 in DailyNK. (read the entire stuff here)

Yeah, so hurry up with the unification!! Because, perhaps later it will be a little more expensive. Right now it seems that the S.K. capitalists will have to spend just "peanuts" for to realize the N-S unification..

Well, just to be a little more serious: The reunification of East and West Germany was/is still f.. expensive!!

Even East Germany (the former GDR/German Democratic Republic) was almost a "Red Economy Power" (so a report of the West German TV/WDR/ broadcasted in the early 1980's) after the reunification in 1990 Billions of D-Mark/Euro were spent - of course paid by the ordinary (in the beginning West German) tax payers. Already in 1995 we estimated that at least US$600 Billion were spent for the unification until that time.

The bourgeoise German daily newspaper FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) wrote nearly three years ago (2004.9.19) that the "costs - so fare - for the reunification with 1,5 Trillion (yeah, you read well: 1,5 TRILLION!!!) Euro are higher than expected.."

Once again: in the 1980's the GDR was a kind of economically "well" developed country. Ha, for example: after I was deported in 1985 from the East to the West I saw so many products (in more ore less good quality, such as "stereo music centers", washing mashines ect..) "Made in GDR" in West Germany's shops (BTW.. the same products in the East never we were able to buy..).

And now North Korea/DPRK: "one of the poorest countries" in the world.. The main parts of the (former) industrial basis isn't existing anymore.. A kind of infrastructure: not existing.. Lack of electricity.. Nourishment problems for large parts of the population.. Etc..

OK, later more about it..

A try to reply..#2

One of the most disputed points of the S.K.-US FTA is the negative effect for the S.K. agriculture, especially the issue of rice.

Already in autumn 2002, I had the possibility to join for the first time a peasants' rally in Seoul(about 200,000 of them demostrated in Seoul's Yeouido) I thought that especially the rice production in S.K. will have no future. On this rally, but also later when I had to pass the countryside, I saw only middle aged people. For what I know, their children/grandchildren are mainly refusing to follow the path of their parents/grandparents. Simply they have complete no interest to spend their life in the rice fields. They only want to move to the big cities, go to study and/or later "earn a lot of money"(^^).
But this development - if my reflection was/is right(eh~ I'm not sure..) - will lead to the death of the S.K. rice production. Sooner or later. Whether with or whithout S.K.-US FTA.

In my opinion there should be the demand (by the farmers, but also the supporting movements) that the gov't is helping (for example finacial) to create alternatives on the countryside. Perhaps there are a lot of alternatives, beside the rice production, to make the life on the countryside attractive even for younger people. Organic agriculture - payable also for the "ordinary" people, kinds of eco-tourism... Anyway.. whatever..

First of all - my question: was there any mass movement against S.K.-Chile FTA?
Right now: is there any opposition movement against the planned S.K.-E.U. FTA? Against a (likely) S.K.-China FTA???
Well, that's a question.. Hopefully someone can answer me!

In my opinion as long as there will be capitalist ruled societies there will be stuff like the S.K.-US FTA! And we aren't able to avoid it without a real (active) mass movement against it. And for what I know.. in S.K. there isn't a real active mass movement against S.K.-US FTA.

And that's the reason why organisations such as DLP are "able" to treat with "topple the Roh Moo-hyun gov't", because this call isn't with any consequences, because no-one will follow the call in reality. Everything what they're talking is just BLABLA!!

But in my opinion there are possibilities to fight against the negative results of S.K.-US FTA.

1. For example there should be a complete ban of any genetically modified organisms(GMO). And the USA are very "famous" for their GMO..

2. FTA means free movement of capital (and of course the capitalists). But there isn't any right for a free movement of the "ordinary" people. The capital has any right to search for places where it can earn maximum profit, but the "ordinary" people, who only can sell their working capacity/labour power.. So, like the capital the "ordinary" people (i.e. the working class) should have the right to search and find places where they are able to "sell" their only "capital"(i.e. their working capacity) as expensive as possible, where-ever it is possible.

Tomorrow I'll try to continue it..
