You Only Run For the Border When You See the Whole City Running As Well Greetings from the desk of the. Sitting in his office, Donald Trump meets with the head of his economic advisors Gary Cohn. Cohn jokes with Trump. He says, make a speech custodia cover samsung j3 and say that the wall on the US Mexico border is ready to be built: the materials are on hand, labour is eager. The only thing that engineers are worrying about is how to spell over the 2000 kilometre border the word TRUMP. Trump is not amused. He does not like jokes at his expense. He has other ideas. The caravan of Central Americans coming north, he says, ‘is custodia samsung sm-t560nzwaitv galaxy tab e, display da 9.6 like an invasion’. Fiery language is his mode. Immigration is the goose that lays the golden egg. He has no real interest in the wall. He is more interested in using the migrants custodia originale samsung tab e as a way to stoke fear and division. custodia tablet samsung tab s4 That is the mode of the neo fascists. Along the length of Central America and Mexico, caravans of human beings walk towards the United States border (the picture above is from portraits done byof the people on the march). The first caravan of four thousand people reached the town of Matas Romero in Oaxaca state on the first day of November. A second custodia cellulare samsung galaxy j3 caravan of almost two thousand people entered Mexico at Huixtla, Chiapas state, while a third caravan of five hundred people left El Salvador to seek asylum in Mexico and a fourth caravan of near two thousand people left San Salvador and reached the Guatemalan town of Tecn Umn on the Mexican border. Each of these caravans comes with determination to flee places that the people think have failed them. It huawei p10 lite hoesje brings to mind the words of the Somali British poet Warsan Shire, ‘No one expected this human avalanche’, said former Honduran congressman Bartolo Fuentes, who first said that he would pay the way of people to the United States. In my report atFrontline, I detail thethcentury as well as the growth of a drug based economy that has brought more violence to places that hoped that the end of the genocide conducted by the military regimes of the 1980s would bring a period of peace. That genocide continues, as bulldozers and dams destroy the way of life for small farmers and for indigenous communities. coque iphone The assassination of activist Berta Cceres in Honduras is a signal of the violence that churns out people from their homelands. Theof her killers is in chaos, the impunity another reason for people to flee. It custodia tablet samsung tab a 10.1 does not help that the United States, the dragon that whips its samsung s6 hoesje tail and breathes fire into these countries, at the same time advertises itself as a ‘land of opportunity’. US military force and capital has no borders; only people of limited means run into these borders. Their home has become the mouth of a shark. ‘Maps on our backs’, sings the Palestinian poet Jehan Bseiso, ‘Long way from home’. Words like ‘refugee’ (and even ‘migrant’) mislead. They reduce people to categories that suggest powerlessness. It is as if the person on the road in these caravans or on the boats in the Mediterranean Sea are to be pitied (if you are a person of sensitive disposition) or hated (if you are a person who has forgotten what it means to be human). But the people walking or on the boats are not without their own aspirations and energy, without their own sense of what they are moschino cover samsung s6 doing and why they are doing it. When they cross the unforgiving borders, they get to work: building homes, finding work, raising children (the picture above is byfor a series of migrant workers at their temporary homes). They earn money and then turn around to send it to their families who are at home. Even in the Zaatari refugee custodia cover huawei y5 2018 camp in Mafraq (Jordan), there are money transfer agencies that take cash from Syrian refugees and send it to their relatives inside Syria. The lines outside these agencies around the world suggest the immense feeling of humanity that motivates the people who are displaced. The World Bank calculates that displaced people sent a total of $613 billion in remittances to their home countries, most of them in the Global South. To put this into context, the total overseas development aid amounted to $142.6 billion. In other words, workers who live perilously and there are 258 million of them send four and a half times more money to their home countries than do the wealthy states of North America and Europe. Even more scandalous, monopoly money transfer firms such as Western Union and MoneyGram take a fee that amounts to between 7% and 10%. The total garnishment from these workers amounts to $30 billion per year. Western Union which is worth $5.5 billion and its confederates take$30 billionfrom the poor displaced workers. The total annual budget for the UN Refugees Agency (UNHCR) is$8 custodia samsung tab a sm t555 billion. Please pause and re read these numbers (for more on this, see my Total annual remittances from displaced workers: $613 billion. Total fees annually plundered by money transfer monopolies: $30 billion. Total annual budget of UNHCR: $8 billion. Capital and weapons slip past the border guards without care. People are held back by the borders. It is this immobility that acts as an economic knife into the gut of the worlds billions. coque iphone The lack of free mobility of people facilitates lower ( It is not enough to talk about a cover samsung galaxy s3 mini amazon wall on the US Mexico border. Trump, like his predecessors in the US government, want to embargo countries that refuse to acknowledge the domination of the United States over their affairs. This was the basis of the Monroe Doctrine (1823), which Trump invoked by name at the UN General Assembly a few months ago. coque samsung The new phrase uttered by Trump’s advisor John Bolton the troika of tyranny points Washington’s finger at Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Trump has wanted war against one of these countries. Now, with close allies in Brazil and Colombia, the United States will ramp up pressure against these countries and likely will intervene in at least one of them. Cuba came to the United Nations General Assembly with the resolution against the US embargo of the small island nation. coque samsung Since 1992, the UNGA has voted to end the embargo. This year the custodia celly iphone 7 plus vote was 189 against the embargo and 2 for it (the United States and Israel). Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodrguez Parrilla offered the rationale for the end of the embargo in his important Meanwhile, if you are in Havana there is a Youth Theatre Festival (see above) that is dedicated to Ramn Silverio. Silverio is the founder of the El Mejunje Cultural Centre in Santa Clara, where there is an art gallery, a theatre, a caf and a place for artists and LGBTQ activists to breathe. Ramn Silverio dreams of a ‘world where everyone lives in harmony and respects custodia apple iphone 4s individualities no ebay cover samsung j3 matter if they’re Marxist, Christian or gay’. The festival is the opposite of the belligerent rhetoric from John Bolton. Borders surround powerful nations or encage less powerful ones. But there is samsung galaxy grand custodia no border for wildlife, whose habitat is being surely and swiftly snatched away. The Indian government has just given Reliance Corporation (net worth $110 billion), owned by the Indian billionaire Anil Ambani (net worth $2.2 billion), 467 hectares of the reserved forest land in Yavatmal to build a cement factory. Precious forest will be carved into, mineral deposits (of limestone and dolomite) will be eaten into. coque samsung Local inhabitants, who live with the forest, will be slowly but surely displaced. A tigress named Avni and her cubs roamed the area near the future cement factory. The government said that she had killed thirteen villagers. She had to be killed. Jaideep Hardikar’s three part series on the killing of the tiger is riveting an essential read (,and). It is also tragic. Two ten month old cubs survive Avni. Raj Thackery of the custodia iphone 11 apple right wing Shiv Sena said, ‘I have learned that Avni was killed to save Anil Ambani’s project. The government has sold its conscience to Ambani’. The World Wildlife Fund has just released its chillingwhich shows a decline in wildlife population by 60% over the past forty years. Once more, the data here is useful but the analysis is insufficient. There is no ‘humanity’ by itself only classes and nations, where some classes and certain nations dominate the agenda for the planet. Reliance Corporation wipes out the forest and puts pressure on the tigers; the villagers who are killed by the tiger are merely fodder for processes that are beyond them. The problem here is not human failure, but the capitalist system which has made nature into a commodity and does not care at all for its existence. It is this cover samsung 6500 system that drives the destruction of the Amazon Rain Forest and of the Arctic Circle. Profit is more important to this system than people. ‘Private property has made us so stupid’, wrote a young Marx in 1844. Coming up next week: our dossier on the IMF’s return to Argentina.
