Personal News; Zapatista News
I've actually got a lot going on in my life right now:
* I'm moving to a new house on or near August 1;
* the Co-op is moving in January;
* I'm getting settled into a new computer;
* I'm trying to stretch/strengthen my lower back;
* I'm responding to the news of a B12 deficiency;
* I'm gradually transferring UltimaSociety.org, my new revolutionofone.info, and possibly part or all of treesong.org to Wiki format;
* AND, as usual, I'm trying to figure out a whole host of situations and challenges both personal and political, some of which I can't get into right now .
So... yeah. Even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes on a day-to-day level, this is a very busy time in my life! But rather than get into all of that any further, I'd like to share with you some very important Zapatista news.
The Zapatistas have released their latest important communication:
SEXTA DECLARACIÓN DE LA SELVA LACANDONA [Español]
Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandona [English]
It's a long document, divided into three long web pages, but it's well worth the read. Even if you don't know much about the Zapatistas, this is a good read, because it's written in direct language and offers quite a bit of explanation to those who are unfamiliar with the struggle.
Later, I may try to formulate a more eloquent response to the Sixth Declaration. But in the meantime, I'm starting to fall asleep at the keyboard... :) So let me just express my solidarity with the Zapatistas and the international struggle for democracy, liberty, justice, etc. that they embody. Once again, their revolutionary efforts are a gift both to the people of Mexico and the people of the world...
If you have any responses, please feel free to contact me. And if you want more info on the Zapatistas, you can find plenty on the Internet and in a few key books and other publications. And if you want to know how all of this relates to Revolution of One, I'll be glad to talk to you about it sometime... :)
