33. Update
Didnt see the new thread start. I posted these over at thread #1

1)
Latest from iteration

The caravan of over 100 vehichles has successfully made it to Oaxaca.

The police have sealed off the downtown area with razor wire.

March to start soon.

Send prayers.

2)
Many have complained about the MSM blackout of Oaxaca. But personally I prefer a blackout to the coverage they do. Example is USA Today story. Ive translated some of it from MSM doublespeak to a human tongue.

USA Today says;
Thousands of federal police brace for leftist march in embattled Mexican city

Truth
Thousands of APPO members and supporters brace for police brutality during their march in embattled Mexican city


USA Today says;
Masked federal police clutching automatic rifles took positions on rooftops and reinforced blockades below, preparing for a leftist march Sunday that many fear could spark another episode of violence in this embattled southern city.

Truth
Masked federal police clutching automatic rifles took positions on rooftops and sealed off the downtown area with razorwire, preparing for a leftist march Sunday that many fear could spark another episode of police and paramilitary violence in this embattled southern city.

USA Today says:
Across town, rickety buses and cars carrying leftists from across Mexico rolled into a public university campus guarded by protesters bearing clubs and gasoline bombs.

Truth
Across town, rickety buses and cars carrying APPO supporters from across Mexico, after being illegally detained and photographed by police, rolled into a public university campus guarded by protesters bearing clubs and gasoline bombs.

(Isnt it funny how police and paramilitary forces with tanks, helicopter gunships and assualt rifles can be made to sound like theyre David against the fierce Goliath holding rocks, clubs and molotov cocktails. Give me a fucking break)

3)
This morning a student from the Technologcal Institute in front of Radio Universidad was shot in the chest. His name is Marcos Manuel Sanchez Martinez. He is still alive and receiving medical care. La Doctora says that the shooters are establishing an early morning pattern of attacks.
