Gender- Class -Struggle
"The Primary focus of a small piece like this would generally be accompanied by the two images which I had considered putting up, but everyone who is regarding the debasement of their culture in the face of Globalisation would have an image in mind that fulfills the picture
My focus in usually on Gender and Debasement"

The images that accompany this ' opinion and analysis'are from the a British Daily
and a movement for change from the Phillipines where the Arroyo Regime is
currently being investigated by the UN for Crimes against its people.
The people that are dying are small Moslem enclaves and Left-wing
political activists. The Filipino Arroyo regime has imported the
US military industrial complex to subdue political dissent, there
was a massacre ,( available on TV) in one of the Prisons.
The Collective of Filipina and Filipino activists have been calling
for justice for some years, this link is dated to 2005:-

Of course the issue of military Industrial prison complexes and debasement
of culture need not really bother Irish insularity, though the scars are the
same be they in Oaxaca where Brad Will was murdered ;and the Mexicans
act against their own people, in the crush of dissent against the
imported US system.
The cultural and language debasement issue, usually happens alongside
the simplistic importation of the two party presidential type electoral
system and the loss of independence of the courts and prisons who
become politically overt and tied to the government.
If you would rather buy a Paris Hilton watch or wonder at the dominance of her
drink driving tale in the great order of things, she can be googled, there is a fascinating
eclectic list of buying opportunities available to the discerning consumer.
Which image of Violence is best. Latin America- the Phillipines?
