"Chile's Allende Seen as a Hero
3 Decades after Overthrow, Death
Kevin G. Hall, Knight Ridder News Service,
Miami Herald
Santiago, Chile -- Thirty years after Chilean President
Salvador Allende died in a U.S.-backed coup, new
books, political tributes, court cases and press
revelations are prompting Chileans to reassess the man
and the 1973 coup that began the 17-year dictatorship
of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
As further globalcriticos slots are produced this story will be updated and bumped back to the top of the page. Please click on read more for info on previous radio spots.
nolympics submits:
As the WTO ministerial approaches and the streets teem with federales, globalicriticos and phobicos and tourists free radio palapas has produced more spots for local broadcast. As Cancun is a purely neoliberal invention it is a paradise for the WTO in lacking any kind of social relations or movements. Of the 600 000 residents only 1/3 are permanent residents, the rest are seasonal and casual itinerant workers. So the radio spots and various other kinds of contra propaganda are proving useful and popular. Here are a couple more.

Auschwitz museum opposes plans for IAF fly-over at camp
By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Corespondent and Agencies
The Polish museum at the former Nazi death camp of
Auschwitz on Wednesday criticized plans for Israel
Air Force pilots to fly warplanes over the camp's
site to honor the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Descendants of Holocaust survivors plan to fly over
Auschwitz in southern Poland on Thursday in three IAF F-15 jets
which had earlier taken part at an air show in the country.
"The National Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau deplores the
demonstration of Israeli military might in this place," the museum said in a statement.

The United States allowed members of Osama bin Laden’s family to jet out of the US in the immediate aftermath of September 11, even as American airspace was closed.

"Schwarzenegger's Sex Talk"
The Smoking Gun
AUGUST 27--Arnold Schwarzenegger once told a magazine interviewer about participating in an orgy with other bodybuilders, noting that "everybody jumped on" the woman involved and "took her upstairs where we all got together." The California Republican added that not every muscleman participated in the gang bang, "just the guys who can fuck in front of other guys. Not everybody can do that. Some think that they don't have a big-enough cock, so they can't get a hard-on."

"Economy Reaching ‘Tipping Point’:
Middle Class Consumers Will Be Scapegoats For Financial Collapse"
New Economics Foundation
Imminent First World Debt Crisis Worse Than ‘Third World’ A new annual report on the global economy published by London's New Economics Foundation today, Monday September 1st, predicts that a giant credit bubble, created by globalisation’s decades of ‘easy money’, has now reached a “tipping point” –- a point that has historically triggered financial crises.

Mexican Security Assembles Cancun WTO "Watch List"
Sixty international activists (see the US list below) were named recently by Mexico's national security apparatus as "globalophobic leaders" in a not-so-secret document leaked to La Reforma newspaper. Mexico's Federal
Preventative Police, the Army and several other security forces are apparently concerned about our participation in alternative conferences and demonstrations in Cancun during the September 10-14 WTO Ministerial.
While it is a dubious honor that our work has been recognized, we are concerned that millions of people throughout the world who are also opposed to the WTO are NOT named on the "watch list."
hydrarchist submits:
Whilst I find aspects of this appeal problematic, the intermittents struggle has been extremely innovative and represents the first organising wave in this sector in some time.
"Art Without Artists is Democracy Without a Voice"
Appeal from the "Coordination des Intermittents et Précaires d' Ile de France"- Europe Commission
What is happening in France?
Demonstrations, strikes, the interruption of film shootings, cancellations of shows and festivals : since June 26th, an unheard-of mobilization has been seriously disturbing the French cultural scene. Artistic professionals have spontaneously united in coordinated actions to mark their opposition to a reform of their special unemployment status, initially created in 1936. Based on an inter-professional solidarity, this status takes into account the very specific nature of stage and audiovisual spheres, i.e.discontinuity and flexibility of work. It gives artists a wage supplement which is not a privilege : 50% of these flexible artistic workers in France earn less than the minimum wage (SMIC). This reform, initiated by the MEDEF (French Employers' Union), now awaiting legal agreement by the French government, renders the whole system null and will be very likely to result in a rapid impoverishment of the professionals working in all cultural spheres in France. The current social protection supports artistic creation and research, the evolution of which cannot be seen solely in terms of economics.
