Paramilitaries Kill Two Human Rights Activists in Oaxaca

In Mexico, two human rights activists have been shot dead in the state of Oaxaca. The victims have been identified as Beatriz Carino, director of the Mexican human rights group CACTUS, and Jyri Antero Jaakkola, a human rights observer from Finland. They were traveling as part of a convoy attempting to deliver aid to a town that’s been targeted by paramilitary blockades since the 2006 uprising against governor Ulises Ruiz.

Letter to Editor - Journal of the San Juans

My heart breaks for the Hispanic communities in the USA right now. So much hatred being flamed towards them. This hatred and fear is propagated by the agenda whose only path to power is to divide and conquer. To keep us confused about the real factual problems that we face as a nation and blame a whole population for mistakes made by so called 'Free Trade' and 'Outsourcing', Because of the poor economy in their countries, they come. We all should be shouting about NAFTA taking our and their jobs. We should be looking at the World Trade Organisation and how it has no humanity in its
mandated considerations, only Money.

I find that the Hispanic community has been an addition to our community. The people I have interacted with are beautiful and gentle and hard-working. We as a country can not see the beauty because we find a power in hate. Hate and scorn are not Christian values. They are the opposite.
I ask and pray that we as a nation show kindness and compassion towards our immigrants and understand that they are an integral part of our economy.
There are things to be done to grow our economy that will take the creativity of Unity within Diversity and it will take great vision and heart. Hatred weakens us as a nation.

So. in closing, I would like to thank all of the immigrants in our community. Thank you and God Bless you.
Sincerely, Nancy Brickman.

"But I’m staying I've planted seeds and plan to watch them grow
I've watered all my wishes dreams fulfilled more seeds to sow
And I promise to learn to love the way I've learned to fear
To unknot all the inhibitions tangled in my hair
To let my ego mound in piles around the barber chair
And make a graceful exit from my vexed troubled years
I've decided I've been invited to my own resort
Where knights can leave their armor neatly piled by the door
And every woman, child, and man will gather by the shore
and study how sea lions swim in cursive


The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song." Last refrain of Song 'Sea lion' by Sage Francis
