Guatemalan Oxfam Partners Threatened

Dear Friend,

Our Guatemalan partners are under threat for their lives.

We need to get them in the public eye fast in order to protect them.

Send a letter to the President of Guatemala – do it today.

Oxfam partners in Guatemala have recently received death threats – and we need your voice, now, to ensure that these threats don't come to fruition.


The work we do affects people's lives daily – but it's often dangerous, and sometimes when our partners speak up in defense of poor communities, they are putting their lives on the line.

Two of Oxfam's outspoken partners at CALAS (Centre for Environmental, Social and Legal Action) who work daily on mining and oil issues, received death threats three days ago – and we need to get the public eye on this case immediately, so that they have a level of protection.

Please send a message to the President of Guatemala – we must do everything we can, NOW, to protect our Oxfam partners.

Violence and tensions in Guatemala have intensified in the run-up to the country's presidential elections this Sunday. Our partners at CALAS have been working to protect the rights of indigenous peoples and to expose corruption in a natural gas project.

The Executive Director of CALAS, Yuri Melini, was seriously wounded in 2008 during an assassination attempt.

Large-scale mining operations have been the source of protest, violence and human rights violations since the early 2000s. Oxfam partner CALAS has sought to promote informed debate about the costs and benefits of oil and mining in the country and to promote greater respect for the rights of indigenous communities – and now they are under threat for their stand.

Get these threats in the public eye and protect Yuri Melini and Rafael Maldonado.

Here at Oxfam, we are in awe of the strong and steadfast stand taken by these human rights activists – but now, more than ever, they need our support. "I won't be intimidated by these threats," Melini said in a statement. "I will continue the struggle to defend human rights and protect Guatemala's environment."

Please don't let their work be in vain.

Tell the President of Guatemala, we will not stand by while our partners are threatened.

We can save lives. Please don't stay silent.

China Alleged to Have Offered Arms to Gaddafi - Global Spin - TIME.com

It seems that we have double dealing going on!

Show one face to the world while plotting another.

This news has serious implications for democracy, but the worst is that we all want to trust China and find we will only be duped and seen as fodder for intrigue.

Not good for the world! We have to think twice about why some countries are doing what they do! Whatever that is?

Secrets! They are what started the wars of the past.

Timothy Stanley's very personal war on science -

Very interesting approach to events affecting one! It's our judgement that we are not at the center of what exists.

The universe, that we see only temporarily, trundles merrily on after we are gone. It has it's own logic and that logic may not be what we understand.

We can choose to speculate as to the correct logic of the universe, but the longer time stretches the period over which we speculate conceivably the more speculative we shall be.

The problem is that space-time cannot be traversed equally in all directions the energy cost deciding which direction we see. Only those futures and places with low energy cost of viewing will actually become visible to us.

Federal Regulators Sue Big Banks Over Mortgages - NYTimes.com

This is a very necessary stage in the process of correction and adjustment to the scam, some would say fraud, perpetrated by the big banks on the American and World scene. It is something that will slow down the housing market and could take years! Nobody checked to establish that the securities being sold almost everywhere were genuine secure paper. We all know they were the product of greed and loose regulation. Nevertheless, it was the banks that sold the paper and that knew the paper was insecure. Why did they do it? They could do it and they thought they would get away with it.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
