Maoists continuing violation of comprehensive peace accord

PeaceJournalism.com | Nov 27, 2006

“You will have to face stern action if you do not comply”

Maoist cadres are continuing their excesses even after signing the comprehensive peace accord, which strictly prohibits such acts, in different parts of the country.

In Nawalparasi district, Maoist cadres are forcing landowners to submit their landowner certificate to them in person, so that they can ‘review’ it.

According to locals, they are threatening landowners living in Nawalparasi and Kathmandu by phone saying if they do not submit all the details of their land and ownership certificates within three days, they [Maoists] will forcefully hold their land as well as all the crops.

The locals have urged the government to take action against people involved in intimidation of the people.

Angry Chinese villagers abduct corrupt Communist officials

 The Guardian | Nov 18, 2006

They’re mad as Hell and they’re not gonna take it anymore! Maybe Americans can learn something from their example.

Chinese farmers and fishermen have taken eight Communist party cadres hostage at Dongzhou village, the site of a murderous police crackdown last year.

The stand-off over the arrest of a local activist comes less than a year after paramilitary forces killed at least three protesters. Radio Free Asia said several hundred police had moved close to the village near Shanwei port in Guangdong.

“The police at the village entrance don’t dare enter,” one resident told Reuters.

A human rights campaigner who asked to remain anonymous said the confrontation started when police seized a local activist, Chen Qian, as he was hanging up anti-corruption banners in the village.

The next day hundreds of residents reportedly marched on the local party office and took eight hostages. The villagers offered to swap prisoners but the local government would not compromise. Dongzhou has been closed off since December when police shot at thousands of people protesting against the seizure of land for a power station. Villagers say the toll was higher than three reported deaths.

Maoists Bypass Landowner to Set Up Camp on Her Land Without Permission Under UN Auspices

HIMALAYAN TIMES | Nov 13, 2006

A joint team of the government, the Maoists and the UN arrived at Kamidanda to inspect the land for the proposed campsite on Sunday.

A woman landowner is outraged that the Maoist Peoples’ Liberation Army is preparing to set up its camp on her land, without her permission.

Though the process of setting up a cantonment for the PLA’s third division at Kamidanda of Chyasikharka-4 has started, the Maoists have so far not cared to ask Milimaya Tamang if they could use her land.

“In the month of Bhadra, the Maoists asked for permission to use my land for training their soldiers for four days. However, they have not bothered this time,” said Milimaya.

Thousands Riot Over China Land Seizure

Epoch Times | Nov 10, 2006

Thousands of Chinese villagers clashed with riot police after barricading officials and foreign businessmen in a warehouse they said has been built on illegally seized land, a newspaper reported on Friday.

The clash erupted on Wednesday near Shunde, in the southern province of Guangdong, during the opening of the warehouse, which villagers said had been built on land grabbed by officials and sold off to developers, Hong Kong’s Apple Daily said.

The villagers only began to disperse the next morning when police used tear gas.

China has struggled to smother rising flare-ups of social unrest in recent years, sparked by issues ranging from corruption, forced layoffs, land grabs without compensation, to disparities in wealth between the rich coastal belt and the impoverished hinterland.

‘Gaza is a jail. Nobody is allowed to leave. We are all starving now’

Many people are being killed
Gaza is dying. The Israeli siege of the Palestinian enclave is so tight that its people are on the edge of starvation. Here on the shores of the Mediterranean a great tragedy is taking place that is being ignored because the world’s attention has been diverted by wars in Lebanon and Iraq. A whole society is being destroyed. There are 1.5 million Palestinians imprisoned in the most heavily populated area in the world. Israel has stopped all trade. It has even forbidden fishermen to go far from the shore so they wade into the surf to try vainly to catch fish with hand-thrown nets. Many people are being killed by Israeli incursions that occur every day by land and air. A total of 262 people have been killed and 1,200 wounded, of whom 60 had arms or legs amputated, since 25 June, says Dr Juma al-Saqa, the director of the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City which is fast running out of medicine. Of these, 64 were children and 26 women. This bloody conflict in Gaza has so far received only a fraction of the attention given by the international media to the war in Lebanon.

How NAFTA superhighway is built under radar screen
Officials say they see no budget ‘earmarks,’ because they don’t know where to look
Ask some members of Congress about plans to build a “NAFTA superhighway” connecting Mexico and Canada via the U.S. and you might hear snickers. Some officials will tell you they have seen no “earmarks” for such a plan and question whether it even exists. But the plan does exist and the NAFTA superhighway is being built – under the radar screen.

Chinese Regime Eyes Texas Port Facilities

The Chinese are eyeing facilities in Texas to further their economic invasion of the United States.
Negotiations are under way for communist Beijing to utilize as a “logistics hub” the former Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, which was closed in 1995 during the Clinton administration’s base reduction program.
If the deal is consummated the Chinese will also gain access to two major Texas ports at Corpus Christi and Houston on the Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico, an 11,000-foot-long airstrip, which is part of the Kelly base facilities, rail links with railcar switching facilities and links with five interstate highways. The Chinese are keenly interested in the deal because the San Antonio base will help facilitate its trade with Mexico.

Tears and prayers for the Khmer Rouge “Butcher”

Ta Mok, Pol Pot’s henchman notorious for his brutality, dies with his secrets.

To most Cambodians, he was “The Butcher,” one of Pol Pot’s most ruthless henchmen and a man whose hands were stained perhaps more than any other with the blood of the Khmer Rouge’s 1.7 million victims. But in its final redoubt of Anlong Veng, the ultra-Maoist movement’s former military chief, Ta Mok, who died on Friday, was revered as little short of an idol.

Fresh fears for Khmer Rouge trials 

The death of Ta Mok, one of the main leaders of Cambodia’s brutal former Khmer Rouge regime, has confirmed the fears of long-time proponents of the country’s genocide trials. All along they have warned that delays in setting up the process would result in key defendants dying before they reached court.

Shanghai Residents Forcefully Evicted to Make Room for Rockefeller Group Development

2 million Shanghai residents forced from their homes so far

Residents of Shanghai protest forced evictions in the name of growth, but to little avail.

They cursed. They smashed beer bottles. They pushed and shoved. “Qiang fangzi! Qiang fangzi!” they shouted. “House robbers! House robbers!” In a rare public melee Friday in this bustling city, several dozen residents along the Bund riverfront district protested the forced eviction of a neighbor, who watched helplessly as migrant workers, shielded by about 20 police, loaded his possessions onto a truck. Residents said the man and his family had lived in the apartment for 40 years, until Rockefeller Group of Japan and an affiliate of the People’s Daily in Beijing joined to develop a part of the area famous for its neoclassical architecture.
