Oaxaca, Not Washington

>>>Kristen Bricker has written up an excellent review looking at the issue of direct democracy in Nancy Davies' new book The People Decide: Oaxaca's Popular Assembly.

>>>Meanwhile Al Giordano has tackled Clinton Inc™ for the vast empire of donor connections that it has leveraged in its corpo-democracy race for Washington's seat of power. And check out youtube to see Hillary Clinton confronted for signing on to another, yes another congressional bill giving Bush more war leverage, this time for a supposed already-planned-out bombing campaign on Iran.

Mexico: Trashed Ballots and Strange Election Results

.


Mexican Police have cordoned off the Nezahuacoyotl garbage dump where ballots and ballot-boxes from three precincts won by Lopez Obrador were discovered on Tuesday (July 4, 2006). Meanwhile the Mexican electoral authority (IFE) is obfuscating what Obrado's party is claiming to be the proper recount which needs to take place. NED/USAID grantee organizations and the obvious Washington insiders have organized heavily against Lopez Obrador's leftist candidacy in Mexico. BBC Reporter Greg Palast has a fascinating video titled "Florida Con Salsa: Investigative Reporter Greg Palast Reports on Voter Fraud in Mexico's Presidential Election" up on Democracy Now!

Also read a full update on the recent electoral manipulation in Mexico by Narco News Founder Al Giordano (click on the photo above). As the results came in from the Mexican election night I also posted a piece up on NarcoNews.
