El Salvador: "Solutions, Not Repression. " / "Uncounted" / Guy Debord
The answer comes with truncheons and boots.
It is an amazing moment in world history, when global capital no longer has big economies to devour, and having worked its way down the food chain, turns now to licking up the poorest crumbs on the far-flung edges of empire.
The vendors are fighting back and this piece is all about that.
Salvador is interesting for another reason: The current American vice-president cut his teeth repressing the Salvadorian people back in the 1980s, and was famously quoted just before the death squads ramped up in Iraq as saying that since the US was doing poorly in establishing control over Iraq, they would have to exercise the "Salvadorian option."
Only weeks later, Iraqi morgues were piled high with tortured, mangled bodies, and many more have been "disappeared."
Looking at Salvador today gives one a glimpse of the Iraqi future wished for by the Bush/Cheney camp.
Revolutionaries in Salvador have spoken about how they fear that all these NAFA/CAFTA/WTO type agreements bind the country so much that even if they are successful in bringing in a decent government, the new government will not be able to deliver on the promises of the revolution because of all the international agreements which bind the hands of any future government in the country.
"Free Trade" agreements require the Salvadorian government to crack down on street vendors selling so-called pirated music and software, creating a crisis for thousands of people in the informal sector. "Who's side are you on", the market vendors ask their government, "the big American corporations or your own people?" |

Do not erase this board
True religion is about reality
As a pagan
I worship the principles that are real
I worship the principles that are meaningful
I worship the Principles that are blissful
I worship the Principles that are beautiful
I worship the Principles that are joyful
I worship the principles that are loving
That way
My life becomes meaningful
That way
I become a happy person
That way
I become a loving person
That way
My life is filled with joy
No one is going to feel well
By worshiping suffering
The is simply law of nature
You bring forth what you invoke
Good brings good
Evil brings Evil
That is why the sufferer brings suffering
and
That is why the happy person bring happiness
Reality = the Divine
The Divine = Reality
not words
The Divine can be experienced in all aspects of Reality
It is manifest in all Principles of Nature
Every morning
I Worship the Sun
The Sun who gave birth to this planet
The Sun that cares for this planet
The Sun that caresses this planet
The Sun we can not do without
Be aware of the rays of the Sun
Let them shine on on your skin
Observe what it does to you
Observe how it lifts the mind
of every living being
That is love, real love
Thank you o mighty Sun
For sharing your Love
I give you my Love in return
Shine
Shine
Shine
obliterate all illusions of the mind
Let your light let them fade a way
Every morning
I send my greetings to the universe
I express my Love to the whole universe
To Love, is be Loved
To Love, is to accept Reality
We are here to die
We are not here to suffer
Only the sick mind believes this
Only the sick create sick images of the Divine
For those that embrace harmony
For those that embrace Love
For those that embrace Beauty
Life is wonderful present
