The Government of outgoing President Fox - who is great buddies with Bush and was supported in his bid for the President of Mexico by Bush - has called out the Federal troops against striking teachers and others who are protesting the illegal seating of a govenor there. They have killed and wounded a number of protesters as well as a North American journalist from Indymedia.

The second segment was filmed in Seattle, and is a demonstration in support of the People of Oaxaca, and a commemoration of the 17 martyrs, known to have been murdered during the recent upheavals in that city. Brad Will is the most recent name to be added, but his is not the only name on the list of the dead.
