Bolivia's president-elect cuts own pay by half
Posted: Wednesday, December 28, 2005
Bolivia's President-elect Evo Morales and his entire cabinet will take a 50-percent pay cut so more staff can be hired for the education and health sectors, Morales announced late Tuesday, according to news reaching here.
Morales, who won a Dec. 18 presidential election and will be inaugurated on Jan. 22, said his future salary of some 3,600 U.S. dollars per month would be slashed to 1,800 dollars.

Morales to Nationalize Bolivia Oil, Gas
Posted: Wednesday, December 28, 2005
LA PAZ, Bolivia -- The winner of Bolivia's presidential elections has repeated his vow to nationalize oil and gas and said he will void at least some contracts held by foreign companies "looting" the poor Andean nation's natural resources.
Indian coca farmer Evo Morales said he will not confiscate refineries or infrastructure owned by multinational corporations. Instead, his government would renegotiate contracts so that the companies are partners, but not owners, in developing Bolivia's resources, he said.
"We will nationalize (Bolivia's) natural resources," Morales said at a news conference Tuesday in La Paz.
"Many of these contracts signed by various governments are illegal and unconstitutional. It is not possible that our natural resources continue to be looted, exploited illegally, and as the lawyers say, these contracts are legally void and must be adjusted," Morales said.

Indigenous People Leap Forward in Bolivia
Posted: Thursday, December 22, 2005
David Jovis stands in a circle of supporters cheering on others waving handkerchiefs and dancing the cueca, a traditional Bolivian dance. "This is a triumph not only of a candidate and a party, but of a people," Jovis shouts over the noise of the celebrating crowd.
By any measure, Bolivians made history Sunday with their overwhelming vote to make Evo Morales, an Aymara Indian and leader of the nation's coca leaf growers, president of their nation. Never before has the most indigenous country in the Americas been governed by one of its indigenous people. As in Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela before it, Bolivia also elected a president committed to challenging its powerful neighbor to the north.

Bolivia's hero vows to break US shackles
Posted: Sunday, December 18, 2005
Morales is on the verge of becoming the first wholly Indian leader in Latin America. According to most polls, Morales's advantage over his closest rival, the former conservative President Jorge Quiroga, is at least five points. Despite having little chance of an absolute majority, forcing the newly elected rightist congress to choose the new President in January, congress is expected to nominate Morales if he wins the popular vote, due to fears of civil unrest, which has toppled two centre-right Presidents in two years.

How the Media 'Authorize' the Abuse of Government Power
Posted: Sunday, December 18, 2005
by David Sirota
The story of President Bush deliberately breaking the law to create a domestic spy operation is a lot of different things: it is a tale of power abuse, arrogance, and contempt for the law by an out-of-control president. But it is also a story of how today's major media behave with near total deference to power and its own profit motive. What we are watching, even in the seemingly small details of the coverage, is no less than the media's complicity in helping estsablish a quasi-legal framework for what was a clearly illegal abuse of government power. It is in the clearest sense the media being used as tools of state power in overriding the very laws that are supposed to confine state power.

Venezuela Threatens to Forestall WTO Agreement
Posted: Friday, December 16, 2005
By: Simone Baribeau - Venezuelanalysis.com
Caracas, Venezuela, December 16, 2005—Venezuelan officials say the WTO discussions taking place in Hong Kong are failing, and was among the countries threatening to forestall the agreement, citing concerns about unfair advantages in agriculture for the global north and the risk that the agreement could lead to industrial sabotage in southern countries.
"Developed countries invade the world with their subsidized products and, as if it were nothing, hermetically seal their boarders to the products of the global south," said Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Alí Rodríguez Araque.
Venezuela, along with 10 other countries, including Argentina, Brazil and India, formed a group which set forth conditions which needed to be met before they went ahead with negotiations on non-agriculture market access (NAMA).
The group's statement said, "The ambition in NAMA cannot be viewed in isolation. It has to be proportional and commensurate with the contributions by developed countries in other market access areas. Developing countries cannot be expected to pay for the much-needed reforms in the agriculture sectors of developed countries."
"Of course we are not going to sign the agreement the way it is now," said Rodríguez. In order for an agreement to take effect, it must be unanimously supported by all countries in the WTO.

Internet Censorship: The Warning Signs Were Not Hidden
Posted: Thursday, December 15, 2005
The warning signs for the crackdown on the web have been with us for over a decade. The Clipper chip controversy of the 90s, John Poindexter's Total Information Awareness (TIA) system pushed in the aftermath of 9-11, backroom deals between the Federal government and the Internet service industry, and the Patriot Act have ushered in a new era of Internet censorship, something just half a decade ago computer programmers averred was impossible given the nature of the web. They were wrong, dead wrong.

Stanley 'Tookie' Williams executed
Posted: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
United States authorities on Tuesday executed Stanley "Tookie" Williams, a convicted killer who was at the centre of one of biggest anti-death penalty campaigns in the United States in decades, a spokesperson for San Quentin prison said.
Williams, executed by lethal injection, was declared dead at 12:35, she added.
Several thousand people gathered outside the prison, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean south of San Francisco, raising their voices in anger when Williams' execution was announced.
"It's over, but it's not," said Reverend Jesse Jackson, one of several well known personalities who supported Williams in his quest to have his execution stayed.

Schwarzenegger Rejects Williams' Bid for Clemency
Posted: Monday, December 12, 2005
by Henry Weinstein and Michael Muskal
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today rejected clemency for Stanley Tookie Williams, convicted murderer and one of the founders of the Crips.
The decision was announced moments after a federal appeals court in San Francisco turned down Williams's request for a stay of execution.
Williams is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. The state Supreme Court rejected a last-minute plea Sunday night, and today, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied the stay at 11:30 a.m.

Schwarzenegger Rejects Williams' Bid for Clemency
"Clemency cases are always difficult and this one is no exception," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "After studying the evidence, searching the history, listening to the arguments and wrestling with the profound consequences, I could find no justification for granting clemency."

How America Plotted to Stop Kyoto Deal
Posted: Thursday, December 8, 2005
by Andrew Buncombe
A detailed and disturbing strategy document has revealed an extraordinary American plan to destroy Europe's support for the Kyoto treaty on climate change.
The ambitious, behind-the-scenes plan was passed to The Independent this week, just as 189 countries are painfully trying to agree the second stage of Kyoto at the UN climate conference in Montreal. It was pitched to companies such as Ford Europe, Lufthansa and the German utility giant RWE.

The West, Quietly, is Pillaging Iraq
Posted: Wednesday, December 7, 2005
When Saddam Hussein grabbed power in 1979, Iraq had no long-term foreign debt. Cash reserves were $36 billion. Iraq had high literacy and public universities; it had extensive socialized health care. It was becoming a "first world" nation. Soon, however, this violent, cunning despot began squandering that wealth. Borrowing tens of billions of dollars, he built up a vast military and security apparatus. In 1980 – with the United States' blessing – Saddam invaded his neighbor, the Ayatollah Khomeini's oil-rich Iran. To Saddam's utter surprise, that war wasn't over in a few weeks. It became an eight-year long quagmire. Hundreds of thousands on each side were maimed and killed.

UK 'Breaking Law' Over CIA Secret Flights
Posted: Monday, December 5, 2005
Condoleezza Rice flies into row over 'rendition' of terror suspects
by Ian Cobain and Luke Harding
The British government is guilty of breaking international law if it allowed secret CIA "rendition" flights of terror suspects to land at UK airports, according to a report by American legal scholars.
Merely giving permission for the flights to refuel while en route to the Middle East to collect a prisoner would constitute a breach of the law, according to the opinion commissioned by an all-party group of MPs, which meets in parliament for the first time today.

US secret transfer of terror suspects to Europe

Twist to terror suspects row as logs show 80 CIA planes visited UK
Stephen Grey and Luke Harding in Berlin
Thursday December 1, 2005
The Guardian
The transatlantic row over the secret transfer of terror suspects by the Bush administration took a new twist yesterday when it emerged that more than 300 flights operated by the CIA had landed at European airports.
According to flight logs seen by the Guardian, Britain was second only to Germany as a transit hub for the CIA, which stands accused of operating a covert network of interrogation centres in eastern Europe. Several European governments have launched urgent investigations into whether clandestine CIA flights were used in the aftermath of September 11 to transfer Islamist prisoners to third countries where they could be interrogated beyond the reach of international law.
