Dear Friend,

Our fund raising drive was aborted midway. We managed to raise $ 2200. Less than half of our target of $5000 for a year. Thanks to all who contributed. For over a week,no one is contributing, in the circumstances, there is no point in keeping that appeal on top of the CC home page. That valuable space is returned back to news. If we can't make it till the year end, we will have to come back once again with an appeal. Thanks once again to all who contributed. If there is anyone who still want to contribute you can do so here

US Government Gun-running To Narco Gangs In Mexico

Obama's Mexicogate?
By Laura Carlsen
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27934.htm

April 21, 2011 "FPIF" -- A secret operation to run guns across the border to Mexican drug cartels — overseen by U.S. government agents — threatens to become a major scandal for the Obama administration.

The operation, called "Fast and Furious," was run out of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) office in Phoenix, Arizona. ATF sanctioned the purchase of weapons in U.S. gun shops and tracked the smuggling route to the Mexican border. Reportedly, more than 2,500 firearms were sold to straw buyers who then handed off the weapons to gunrunners under the nose of ATF.
But once across the border, the agency seemed to lose track of the weapons. Hundreds of AK-47s and Barrett .50 caliber rifles — favorites of warring drug cartels —made it easily into the hands of some of Mexico's most ruthless crime organizations.

Gunwalking

In arms trafficking parlance, knowingly allowing smugglers to go about their business is called "gunwalking." According to ATF whistleblowers, the agency stood by and watched as buyers purchased up to 20 weapons at a time and quickly passed them off to smugglers in nearby parking lots. The hope was to trace the guns into Mexico and bust a major cartel.

In December 2010 "walked" guns were identified as the murder weapons in the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry by drug cartels. An anguished ATF agent made the decision to expose the gunwalking operation, after the bureau ignored months of complaints.

Agent John Dodson blew the whistle on Fast and Furious in an interview with CBS News on Mar. 3. Dodson had been concerned about the operation since well before the Terry murder. As large numbers of guns freely crossed the border during the early part of 2010, he and other ATF agents noted with alarm the rise in violent crime south of the border. He said he told his supervisors, "The more our guys buy, the more violence we're having down there."

Dodson reports that his supervisor replied, "If you're going to make an omelet, you're going to scramble some eggs."

Even some of the gun shop owners expressed discomfort with the number of weapons they were selling to shady customers, but were reportedly told to continue the operation.

Soon after the Dodson interview, the director of the ATF Mexico office, Darren Gil, told CBS that he began to receive disturbing reports of an unusually high number of Phoenix-area guns showing up in Mexican cartel violence. When he began asking questions, Gil discovered that his team had been blocked from computer access to information on Fast and Furious.

Gil questioned officials at U.S. headquarters who told him they were under direct orders from the Department of Justice and that he should say nothing to the Mexican government about the program.

Gil resigned in disgust in December 2010 after watching "seizure after seizure after seizure" of walked guns turned up at violent crime scenes in Mexico.

Congress Steps In

In early 2011, Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) requested an ATF briefing. The agency refused. Congress has now issued a subpoena summoning ATF to report on the Fast and Furious program.

Meanwhile, U.S. government officials are attempting to deny being involved without actually confirming that the operation took place. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano did not deny allegations concerning the program, but claimed she found out about the operation only after Agent Terry's murder and had no information regarding the participation of Customs agents.

In the hot seat, Attorney General Eric Holder assigned an inspector general to investigate. President Obama defended Holder twice — on Univision and CNN — stating that neither he nor Holder knew about the operation.

The investigation will result in one of two conclusions, neither positive for the attorney general. The first is that Holder authorized an operation that likely violated U.S., Mexican, and international law and armed dangerous drug traffickers.

The second is that the head of the Justice Department is presiding over rogue staff that decided not to tell their boss about an operation that poses major legal, ethical and diplomatic breaches.

Holder recently issued a memo to Southwest border attorneys ordering them not to permit arms trafficking to Mexican cartels. The memo states, "We should not design or conduct undercover operations which include guns crossing the border." Logically, a memo advising justice officials not to engage in illegal gunwalking would be unnecessary were it not for a precedent to the contrary.

Some ATF officials have justified the program by claiming the operation could result in prosecutions of individuals higher up the smuggling chain. The ATF issued a press release the day of Dodson's interview announcing a decision to "review the bureau's current firearms trafficking strategies…"

Mexican Response

Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his cabinet have been remarkably sanguine about the possibility that guns were trafficked to the archenemy with the encouragement of a foreign government.

National Security spokesperson Alejandro Poire refused to accept that the operation existed and reserved comment until after the results of the pending U.S. investigation are released.

Calderon appears unwilling to risk jeopardizing the U.S. government's political and financial support for his war on drugs by complaining too loudly. His counternarcotics strategy has come under heavy criticism in his country in the last few months due to sharply increasing violence and corruption.

Opposition members of the Mexican Congress, media, and public have ordered an investigation and called the operation a violation of international law and even an act of war. The outrage increased when William Brownfield, the State Department's head of International Narcotics, praised the program to the Mexican press and confirmed it was "ongoing." The former ambassador to Colombia and long-time promoter of the drug war scoffed at criticisms, stating that the number of arms that have passed to "uncontrolled destinations" was "limited."

But for many U.S. and Mexican legislators and citizens even a single weapon allowed to fall into the hands of brutal cartels is one too many. The gunwalking program has increased public skepticism toward the "shared responsibility" that Obama and Calderon have tried to sell in numerous public statements, and fueled the growing popular protests within Mexico that reject the violent drug war model for dealing with illicit narcotics trafficking and consumption.

Major Scandal?

With evasive responses from government agencies, major international implications, and persistent questions of "who knew what, and when," the Fast and Furious operation could develop into a major scandal for the Obama administration. That will depend on the administration's response.

The Obama administration faces a tough choice: either orchestrate a cover-up, as the ATF appears to be doing, or open up the case and accept the consequences.

The gunwalking case tests the integrity of the Obama government. It also further weakens support for a failing drug war strategy. The administration is currently seeking millions more dollars in security aid to Mexico under the Merida Initiative.

The best path forward is to fully investigate the operation and punish those responsible — no matter how high up the blame goes. It is also time to end support for a war on drugs that becomes more entrenched and more violent every day.

Telangana Brahmins form committee to support statehood demand

Hyderabad: A group of Brahmins from Telangana region on Sunday floated 'Telangana Archaka (priests), Brahmin Joint Action Committee, in support of demand for statehood to Telangana.
"Brahmins in Telangana are not a forward caste in reality. The endowments department is full of officials from non-Telangana regions. The Brahmins can prosper only in separate Telangana. All sections of society in Telangana are fighting for separate state and we need to be part of it," G Bhanu Murthy, a leader of the Telangana Brahmins JAC, said.
The Brahmins in Telangana should refuse to cooperate with political leaders who do not quit their posts in support of separate Telangana and trigger a constitutional crisis to pile up pressure on the Centre towards acceding separate Telangana demand, he said.
The decision of Brahmins to fight for separate Telangana is a good omen for achieving statehood as they can influence the public opinion in villages, K Srinivasa Goud, leader of Telangana Gazetted Officers Association, said.
Though TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao was scheduled to attend the meeting, he did not turn up.

Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Long LIve proletarian internationalism!
---------------------------------
Call of May Day 2011
Be armed with Maoist ideology
Fight for New Democracy-Socialism-Communism

Comrades and friends,
May 1st is international working men's day. In this day, workers in Chicago city of America sacrificed their life for the demand of 8 hour working day. Since then this day is a memorable day in emancipation movement of international working class. Though 8 hour working day is recognized worldwide, imperialists, capitalists and feudalists are trampling it everywhere, be it America or Bangladesh.
Brothers and sisters,
What is the situation of working people of Bangladesh?
Garment workers don't have any real wage. A nominal so called wage has been declared what made life of workers hard to survive, and even that is not materialized everywhere. Awami League government will not wish even a slight decrease of piles of profit of the owner bourgeoisie whose interest they protect. Their non government counter part the so called opposition bourgeoisie party—BNP and religious fascists have not opposed and will not oppose even a single bit because they all are birds of same feather. The imperialist collaborator bourgeoisie have already crushed basic industries beforehand because they want to remain as imperialist collaborator. So, by imperialist order, they created such industries, ninety percent of profits of what goes to US and European imperialist countries. Apart from them, China and India is spreading network of their capital in this country. All the working men and women including daily laborer, Rickshaw puller, Hawker, Hotel worker, construction worker, after passing day of hard labor with starvation are always in fear of being wiped out from slum, prohibition of Rickshaw, prohibition of Hawker in street etc. Peasantry doesn't have any land except evil riches. Who have a little bit they till that to provide rice for themselves for one month or a little more. Then the whole year passes in distress. These peasants are also always in fear of being wiped out from land. The so called compensation for irrigation is paid to evil riches. Who will provide food, clothing, housing, education and medical treatment? Government is for the Rich. And the rich have plenty of those. Superstitious education system is for rich. They expend much to make their children corrupt-fundamentalist-fascist. Later on, those join in those bourgeoisie parties and they life of people a hell by chandabaji-tenderbaji-murder-rape. [Chandabaji means forcefully collect toll from people, tenderbaji means dropping tender of a project and forcefully pass it]. During the time of election they make pressure on people to vote so that their filthy interest can be met. This group plunders for this five year and then another group plunders another five year. Doctors don't hesitate to kill patient if they are not paid with bundles (huge) of money. In this situation, the imperialist collaborator bourgeoisie through their political parties—Awami League, BNP, JP, Movement for Islamic rule—are freely carrying vote business. They are cheating the masses. It is very much clear what made the religious fascists dare to carry anti women program. That BNP gave support to it is clear from their leaders' anti women statements. On the other side, Awami League has let them do their activities freely. Everybody knows that Awami League came to compromise with religious fascists [this groups] before they came to power. Now they, by kneeling down to Islamic fundamentalists are explaining to them that their so called Women policy is not against them [fundamentalists]. Needless to say, government women development policy is nothing progressive. They directly abandoned the question of equal right of men and women in property [inheritance]. Student League named cadres of Awami League once championed raping of women. So, isn't it contradictory for them to say about women policy at the same time? What they are saying about equal wage for men and women for equal work is a sham. This is now exposed that pro Awami League and pro BNP capitalists are behind the fall of share market. Those capitalists have pauperized thousands of petit share holders. Will those capitalists give equal wage to women? Rather, reality is that they employ absolutely women in garment industry because by taking the opportunity of socially helpless condition of women, they can grab maximum profit by giving them very less wage. The question of emancipation of women is directly linked with the emancipation from social exploitation. The society that is based upon expropriation of labor power of working people by capitalists and feudalists, definitely will have inequality between men and women, between nationalities to nationalities and all sorts of exploitation and oppression. Severe national repression is going on in Chittagong Hill tract over hilly nationalities. On the other side, ruthless suppression is going on over poor Bengalee people living there. All these are conspiracies of bourgeoisie in collaboration with Indian Expansionism. Recently, a youth, Limon in South Bengal, lost leg being shot by RAB [Rapid Action Battalion of Police]. Exploiting class has carried murder, suppression and crippled thousands of people in this way. Its aim is nothing but to continue their unjust rule and exploitation freely.
Friends,
People of Arab countries have risen by breaking ages of stagnation. They are seriously fighting against autocracy. Taking this opportunity, US-British-French-Italian imperialists are carrying aggression and genocide in Lybia. But imperialists actually are throwing stone on their own foot. Now, people have to resist imperialist aggression besides autocracy.
Comrades,
Revisionism is a poison. Revisionists correct Marxism and make it acceptable to bourgeoisie. Not only they have been doing harm in our country but also they did in Peru. They have been inflicting severe losses in neighboring Nepal in the name of so called peace talk that is actually a farce. But surely genuine comrades will courageously resist it. People's war is advancing in India and Peru. We sincerely support the upcoming celebration of Anti imperialist day on May 7 by the Maoist organization in our neighboring Manipur against Indian colonial exploitation and repression. We pay tribute to the memory of five women Maoist comrades who have recently been martyred in Turkey.
Struggling brothers and sisters,
Let us take up Maoism as the ideology of liberation from exploitation. Let us carry forward the struggle to overthrow this semi colonial and semi feudal exploitative society and establish new democracy-socialism-communism.
Only then our celebration of May Day will have a success.
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
