What you can do to help stop the Massacre
1) Email the American Embassy in Mexico City.
Our so called Ambassador is Antonio Garza. He is a Bush TX crony. Please let him know the world is watching Oaxaca and on his watch.
2) Email the Red Cross.
This is the email address for MEDIA with questions for the CEO. If they get enough mail, they will have to respond.Ask the RC if it is true that they are under orders not to help wounded strikers. Or, whatever better question you come up with. ASK THEM A QUESTION -- don't just go off on them, please.
3) Email or call the news desk at the biggest paper in your area. Ask them WHO is covering this. WHO not IF.
EDIT: PLEASE USE 'MASSACRE IN OAXACA' in your Subj line.
= I am calling Seattle news stations...
we have lots of people from Oaxaca who live & work in my county, so this news blackout is particularly painful for many. If this were happening in Ottawa or Timbuktu, we'd be hearing all about it...the Mexican government doesn't fly troops around for nothing, & cops don't murder press unless something even worse is coming that musn't be seen. I think I'll write to CNN & ask them where the hell Anderson Cooper is...let's see him take a bullet in the ass for 360! If MSM were down there covering this, maybe the outcome would be different.==
MASSACRE IN OAXACA: Indymedia Video Journalist Killed
Right now, in this very moment, state policemen dressed
in civil clothes are attacking the barricades maintained
by the Oaxacan people and their teachers. They are
shooting them with machine guns and the teachers and
the people are defending themselves with stones and
machetes. It is a real massacre organized by the
ulises ruiz administration (Oaxcan Governor). There
are many teachers hurted and at least one American
reporter from New York City (Indymedia), killed by the
State police. The local Red Cross is not caming to
attend the urgent help calls because they have got
orders from the state goverment not to do it. Please
help all concerned.

And Americans have no idea what is going on in Mexico.
Just anti-immigrant agit prop to transfer economic anxiety to them as scapegoats for globalism and 'English-only' wedge issue nonsense plus voter ID card slippery-sloping and pumping up the Minute Men as force magnification.
But we did get to see 'Nacho Libre.'
