Aid Haiti by Cancelling their Debthttp://www.one.org/us/actnow/drophaitiandebt/o.pl?id=1398-4056294-hwh3BJx&t=2

One way we can help Haitians build a better tomorrow is to convince global creditors to cancel Haiti’s $890 million international debt. Doing so will help make sure that every possible future dollar goes towards rebuilding a stronger Haiti, not to servicing old debts.

The US is failing Haiti – again. There is nobody to co-ordinate the most rudimentary relief and rescue effortshttp://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/patrick-cockburn-the-us-is-failing-haiti-ndash-again-1869539.html

The US-run aid effort for Haiti is beginning to look chillingly similar to the criminally slow and disorganised US government support for New Orleans after it was devastated by hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Honduras: Death squads escalate killingshttp://www.greenleft.org.au/2010/822/42267

The revival of death squads in Honduras has resulted in a significant increase in the abduction, rape, torture and murder of opponents of the regime that overthrew elected President Manuel Zelaya last June.  Death squads tied to the regime have increased their activity in the weeks after the fraudulent November 29 elections, which were boycotted by at least 65% of the population.

A January 1 statement by the Committee of the Families of the Disappeared and Detained of Honduras said: “This week’s kidnapping, disappearance, torture and interrogation of journalist Cesar Omar Silva by a street patrol with military training confirms the existence of a pattern of systematic violations of human rights committed by the same structure that violated the constitutional order on June 28, 2009.

Honduras: Protest against ALBA withdrawalhttp://www.greenleft.org.au/2010/822/42262

Zelaya said pulling out of ALBA was “part of Micheletti's right-wing agenda”.  ALBA countries were the first to publicly condemn the coup that ousted Zelaya, and all member nations immediately withdraw their ambassadors from Honduras in protest. ALBA declared its full support for the Honduran people’s resistance and for Zelaya’s reinstatement, but maintained all the pro-people trade agreements initiated under Zelaya.

Venezuelan aborigines to receive title deeds this yearhttp://www.abn.info.ve/go_news5.php?articulo=215519&lee=17

Caracas, Jan 15 ABN.- Aiming at guaranteeing the indigenous communities to recuperate their lands for the development of cultural and agricultural activities, Venezuela's Government foresees to hand in title of ownerships to Yukpa communities in Zulia state this year. The handing in is part of the process to delimit the habitat and lands of indigenous communities, which is being carried out by the Bolivarian Government by means of the Ministry of People's Power for Environment (Minamb, for Spanish) since the year 2005.  According to Minamb's executive secretary for the National Commission on Demarcation, Zonia Rivas, during 2009 were handed in 40 title deeds to indigenous populations in the states Zulia, Anzoategui, Apure, Delta Amacuro, Sucre and Monagas. “Last year, we handed in three titles of ownership to Yukpa communities in the areas known as Tinacoa, Shirapta and Aroy, which add up to 41 thousand hectares. This year, the process is being carried out for the three remaining areas,” she said.

Similalry, she affirmed that the Ministry of Environment has been progressing with the ethnic groups Wayuu, Añu, Japreria and Bari, in Zulia state, in order to give them the ownerships of the lands.  Rivas stressed that with these initiatives Venezuela's State pays off a historical debt maintained for centuries with the indigenous peoples and communities in the nation. Besides, this will lead to guarantee their active participation in the life of the Nation, preserve their culture, and exercise free determination in their domestic affairs and the conditions to make it possible.

It’s Not OK: protest march against Hillary Clintonhttp://www.bilaterals.org/article.php3?id_article=16601

Auckland is planning a protest march this Saturday against the visit to New Zealand of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The march will leave from the US Consulate in Customs Street East to the Auckland Town Hall where Clinton is meeting a variety of invited guests from 12noon to 2pm. The theme of the march will be “It’s not OK” as in – It’s not OK to wage war for oil!  It’s not OK to torture and assassinate!  It’s not OK to overthrow democratically elected governments!  It’s not OK to wreck the planet! Protestors will be asked to bring old shoes – women’s shoes especially – to the protest. (Throwing shoes has become an international symbol of protest against US policy in Afghanistan and Iraq — this may become a high-heel protest)

Don't Let The Disaster Capitalists Get Their Hands On Haitihttp://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/naomi-klein-dont-let-disaster-capital

Haiti was a nation of farmers, but thanks to the strings attached to U.S. aid, government policies made profitable farming unprofitable. So the farmers were pushed to the cities to provide a cheap manufacturing labor force. All those people you see on the TV in their shattered shantytowns? We helped put them there. With exploitative loans and yes, even a classic CIA-backed coup, we helped create this mess. Here's Naomi Klein, the author of "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," speaking Wednesday night at the Ethical Culture Society to warn us against it happening again.

Cult of Consumerism at Root of Planet's Environmental Degradation & Destructionhttp://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/01/cult-of-consumerism-root-planets-environmental-degradation-destruction.php

The Worldwatch Institute's State of the World 2010 report has just been released and takes square aim at what's at the root of the planet's current environment woes, be it climate change, biodiversity loss, natural resource overconsumption. It's consumerism (green or not).

In short, and you've heard TreeHugger and many others say it before, but it bears repeating: There are simply not enough resources on the planet to extend what is considered a normal, even essential, level of material consumption in wealthy nations to a planet with 6 billion and growing people:

Resource Use Increasing Faster Than Population Consider some stats. Even accounting for population growth, from 1960 to 2006 the per capita consumption of natural resources globally tripled. In accomplishing this, metal production grew six times, oil consumption eight times, natural gas use 14 times. The average European uses some 43 kilos of natural resources daily, while the average US resident more than doubles that at 88 kilograms.

7% of People = 50% of Carbon Emissions Dividing up responsibility for that over-consumption, and translating it into greenhouse gases, we find that some 500 million people (7% of world population) are responsible for 50% of global CO2 emissions, with 3 billion of our brothers and sisters responsible for just 6%.

B'nai B'rith – The Jewish Secret Society that Dominates Americahttp://www.bushstole04.com/Israel/bnai_brith.htm

'B'nai B'rith was instrumental in gaining U.S. support for the nascent Zionist state of Israel in the late 1940s. The Jewish secret society of Freemasons used President Harry Truman's friend - and their agent - Eddie Jacobson of Kansas City (standing behind Truman)

in off-the-record meetings in the Oval Office to persuade the president to approve the Zionist land grab known as the 1947 U.N. Partition Plan of Palestine and then to recognize the state of Israel the next year following the Zionist ethnic cleansing of nearly 400 Palestinian villages and towns. By applying pressure directly on Truman, B'nai B'rith dictated U.S. policy in spite of strong resistance from the U.S. Department of State.'

The Gates Foundation and Monsanto Working Hand-in-Handhttp://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_19990.cfm

'Gates Foundations = Monsanto now even more than ever. I should refine that statement. Gates Foundation = in favor of a pro-biotech, for-profit, unsustainable, scary, powerful approach to "feeding the world" (a.k.a. lining corporate pockets). And they have many ties to Monsanto including a brand new one. They just filled Rajiv Shah's old job with Sam Dryden. Dryden's resume is enough to make me throw up.'

Iran Says US, UK, Canada Assist Afghan Drug Tradehttp://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=116144&ionid=351020101

'A senior Iranian anti-drug official has accused the US, Britain and Canada of playing a major role in Afghanistan's lucrative drug trade. On the sidelines of an anti-drug conference in Tehran, deputy head of Iran's Drug Control Headquarters Taha Taheri said that Western powers are aiding the drug trade in Afghanistan.  "According to our indisputable information, the presence of the United States, Britain and Canada has not reduced the dug trade and the three countries have had major roles in the distribution of drugs," IRIB quoted Taheri as saying on Thursday.'

The Militarization of Emergency Aid to Haiti: Is it a Humanitarian Operation or an Invasion?http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=17000

'Haiti has a longstanding history of US military intervention and occupation going back to the beginning of the 20th Century. US interventionism has contributed to the destruction of Haiti's national economy and the impoverishment of its population.  The devastating earthquake is presented to World public opinion as the sole cause of the country's predicament. A country has been destroyed, its infrastructure demolished. Its people precipitated into abysmal poverty and despair.Haiti's history, its colonial past have been erased.  The US military has come to the rescue of an impoverished Nation. What is its Mandate? Is it Humanitarian Operation or an Invasion?'

The Haitian People Need Emergency Assistance — NOT Suppression and Further Dominationhttp://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=16984

'The Haitian people themselves must be assisted, and not suppressed. The media—just as it did in Katrina—is already portraying the Haitian people as animals and criminals. In fact, the masses in Haiti —as they did in New Orleans during Katrina—are in the main mobilizing to collectively deal with their situation.  These efforts must be supported in all aid programs, and there must be no suppression by the U.S. troops of those who are trying with all their might to save themselves and their people. Volunteers coming from other countries must be assisted by the governments now sending aid to Haiti , and not suppressed.'

Consumers are squeezed as inflation outpaces wageshttp://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ECONOMY?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=HOME

American families were squeezed last year as their inflation-adjusted weekly wages fell 1.6 percent - the sharpest drop since 1990 - well below the 2.7 percent consumer inflation rate. Consumers' spending power sank in the face of falling wages, job losses and higher prices for energy, medical care and education. Slack pay and scarce job creation are slowing consumer spending, hindering the economy's ability to mount a strong recovery.
