Solidarity With Los Indigenos en Morelos

by nopalitos Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2004 at 5:09 AM

Zapatisitas in Tlalnepantla, Morelos declared their town an autonomous zone and are being responded to with violence by the Mexican government. Anytime a group declares independence from a repressive government corporation, they undermine the capitalist elite's profit base. Money is behind the Mexican government's land grab..

The region under attack in Morelos Mexico is a small indigenous community in the south of Mexico. The people of Tlalnepantla have expressed their wishes to have a autonomous zone free from government and corporate interference..

Here in el Norte (US), we have also seen any attempts to peacefully resist the oppressive government met with violence. The M.O.V.E. house in West Philadelphia was also bombed into submission by the Philadelphia Police. They grew their own fresh vegetables and distributed food to the neighborhood. This caused the City of Philadelphia to view them as a threat, since they would no longer be making money for the corporations through wage slavery or taxes. Mumia talked about this after the mainstream media refused to discuss the bombing by police helicopters of the West Philly neighborhood..

We express solidad with the people of Tlalnepantla, Morelos against the corporate backed Mexican government. The Plan Puebla Panama has the Lacondon rainforest scheduled to be clear cut by Boise Cascade and International Paper. Grupo Pulsar attempts to add genetic engineered trees and crops to the region against the objections of the indigenous community. The biodiversity and health of the Lacondon rainforest is depending on the Zapatisitas taking a stand against the Mexican government..
