the corporate media mostly sucks.
and i don't mean that in a good way. i mean, babies suck, and it's a good thing they do or they'd all be dead.
but the corporate media tells lies. it leaves a lot out. it's often printed on dead trees. it's motivated by big money and subsequently it's mostly corrupt and evil.
i created this blog so i could post stuff as i journey with pastors for peace on this adventure - the 20th caravan in 2009 will be my second time ... it's too bad nobody's reading it.
my other work can be found at relativenewz.ca or janinebandcroft.blogspot.com and yes, i accept donations.
After the Reverend Lucius Walker Jr. was shot by 'Freedom Fighters,' with a bullet his tax dollars bought (ostensibly to 'liberate' Nicaraguans), he decided to do something different.
This year, 2009, marks the 20th year for the Pastors for Peace Friendshipment. Starting July 1st we'll be journeying, on 15 different routes, starting in Canada, through the USA and Mexico, collecting and delivering humanitarian aid for the incredible Cuban survivors.
What we're doing is 'illegal' - we're challenging a blockade that has held since 1961 - coincidentally, the year I was born. We're delivering humanitarian aid (health and school supplies, computers, etc) directly to the Cuban people.
Cuba is not a perfect society .... but they do some things really well. True to their revolutionary principles, and I believe Che would be pleased, there is an incredible holistic health care system that cares for people from cradle to grave (and perhaps beyond) and all education (including University) is free. They do organic and community agriculture, and they're not slaves to the IMF and World Bank (who demand 'structural adjustment policies,' essentially the death of publically owned services, in exchange for loans.)
You're welcome to follow the journey along .... check out the movie about Che and the revolution, call your local community radio and indy media folks, let them know the 20th Caravan is on its way!!
