dear friends of blog.reportero.org,

I’m posting regularly on a variety of topics on my blog at the Dominion.

Click here to read my latest article, Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal in Colombia: Corporations with a License to Kill.

“The final verdict, read to the large crowd, summarized much of Colombia’s recent history, condemning the Colombian government, 43 multinational corporations, and the U.S. government for their role in the violence that has long dominated the lives of Colombians. The audience was made up of people from a broad spectrum of social movements and organizations from around the country, and listened rapt during the reading of the sentence.”

“El más humilde de los Guatemaltecos, el más explotado y marginado, el más enfermo e ignorante, vale más que todas las riquezas de la patria. Y su vida es sagrada e intocable.”

“The poorest of all Guatemalans, the most exploited and marginalized, the sickest and most ignorant, is worth more than all of the riches of our homeland. And her life is sacred and untouchable.”
-Alvaro Ramazzini, obispo de/Bishop of San Marcos, Guatemala, 27/01/2005.
