Police Use Taser On 6-Year-Old Boy

A 6-year-old boy was subdued with a Taser while wielding a piece of glass and threatening to hurt himself in the principal's office, officials said Thursday.

The boy, who was not identified, was shocked by police with 50,000 volts of electric current on Oct. 20 at Kelsey Pharr Elementary School.

The principal called 911 after the child broke a picture frame in her office and waved the piece of glass, holding a security guard back. He cut himself under his eye and on his hand. read full story / add a comment

"The Chilean economy: Neo-liberalism, Imperialism and the Poor"

Talk given by Chilean economist Orlando Caputo

Over the last 30 years, since Pinochet dictatorship, Chile has been subjected to all sorts of economic experiments by the gang of "Chicago Boys" (economics students from that university) that ruled the country hand in hand with the military. It became an actual laboratory for neo-liberal policies. These policies have affected the standard of life of the working class dramatically, transforming the country to one of the most unequal in the whole world (it's now the 7th worst). read full story / add a comment

"Restructuring the US economy and the Annexation of Latin America"

Talk given by the Chilean economist Orlando Caputo Leiva.

The changes on the US economy have influenced their politics, and therefore, have dramatically altered the state of the whole world. In light of the economic restructuring of the USA, we can better understand how their policy regarding Latin America is leaning towards an integration that deepens dependency, through Free Trade Agreements.

These policies, of course, have as their main victims, the people of Latin America, who see their rights restricted and taken to the extremes, both the exploitation and the imperialist looting of our countries.


ARTS BLOCK, Room 5039, Trinity College.
Monday 22nd November, 7pm

Hosted by the Latin America Solidarity Centre and Trinity Anarchist Society.

international / miscellaneous / other press Tuesday November 16, 2004 00:46 by Lisa Simpson
As part of sweeping "economic restructuring" implemented by the Bush Administration in Iraq, Iraqi farmers will no longer be permitted to save their seeds. Instead, they will be forced to buy seeds from US corporations -- including seeds the Iraqis themselves developed over hundreds of years. That is because in recent years, transnational corporations have patented and now own many seed varieties originated or developed by indigenous peoples. In a short time, Iraq will be living under the new American credo: Pay Monsanto, or starve.
