The US media and government continue to be titillated by the unrest in Iran. The mass demonstrations seem real enough and probably don’t need help from the west, although the US would love to be involved. The reality is that this is probably not going to lead to a real revolution, but simply allow a different faction to take control of the presidency.
However, the Maoist in Iran are encouraging the uprising and hoping for more than just a different president. Here is a document from the website of the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist):
You wanted a fight? Let’s fight!
Following is a leaflet issued 15 June by the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist). The title is a challenge to the regime.
Rebellion, revolutionary situation, an explosion of the hatred felt by millions of people throughout the country: it doesn't matter what you call the recent events. What matters is that we have entered a new period. Many bridges have been broken and in many spheres there is no return to past. The young women and men fighting courageously in the streets reflect the discontent and anger of three generations. Faces are bloody, bodies bruised, but nobody is talking about retreat or surrender. Armed-to-the-teeth mercenaries and herds of lumpen are wandering the streets but nobody pays any attention to them. Parents accompany their children in the streets. The initial shock and demoralization is rapidly disappearing.
In the mind of millions, the Islamic Republic of Iran's disgrace in the election farce has discredited the "possibility of change and the rectification of the regime from within" far more rapidly and effectively than any political debate and reasoning. The leading faction took a serious gamble with this. And now may of the rebellious youth are thinking about ways for effectively getting rid of the regime.
There was a clear example of this yesterday in the students' response to Zahra Rahnavard [married to Mir-Hossein Mousavi] who had gone to [Tehran] university to calm them down: "We didn't come to battle for the presidency of Mousavi, we have come to defeat the coup and smash the dictators' set-up".

US will increase spying on Mexico
The US will now get more involved with the drug problems in Mexico. But this new cooperation is bound to amount to less autonomy for Mexico and more intervention on the part of the US.
According to The Wichita Eagle, Jun. 17:
“WASHINGTON - U.S. immigration agents soon will get expanded powers to fight Mexican drug cartels, Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress on Wednesday.
Under a new deal aimed at settling a long-running turf dispute with the Drug Enforcement Administration, more agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement would get authority to investigate drug cases.
When Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., asked the attorney general about the issue, Holder said an announcement was imminent on a new agreement between the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security. Holder said he had discussed the matter the night before with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.”
This will account to more spying on Mexican citizens. It will not help the drug situation. As in the past, our DEA has used drugs as an excuse to spy on innocent civilians in foreign countries.

The Mass Uprising in Lalgarh, India
From People's Truth,
http://www.bannedth ought.net/ India/PeoplesTru th/PeoplesTruth0 5.pdf:
After Singur and Nanidgram, now it is the turn of Lalgarh. While the first two mass eruptions in West Bengal were over displacement of the peasants from their fertile lands which were handed over to the big comprador sharks, the Lalgarh adivasi uprising was against the high-handedness and atrocities by the police and, of course, by the social fascist goons of the ruling CPI(M). It is the first mass uprising that had erupted on such a massive scale against police atrocities in post-1947 India barring, of course, Kashmir and North East. One is reminded of the mass uprising of Manipur against atrocities by the Indian Army and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in the wake of the rape of Manorama.
Described as the biggest adivasi rebellion ever in the state and as the second Santhal rebellion, the militant mass uprising in Lalgarh drew banner headlines for several weeks following the land-mine attack on the convoy of the West Bengal chief minister, Buddhadev Bhattacharjee, and a host of other VVIPs, including two Union Ministers, Ramvilas Paswan and Jitendra Prasad, and top industrialist, Ashok Jindal, on November 2, 2008 near Salboni in West Midnapore district. The convoy was attacked by Maoist guerrillas when it was returning from Salboni after Buddhadeb’s inauguration of a mega-steel project being set up by Jindal at a cost of over Rs. 12,000 crores and for which 4,500 acres of land was acquired by the so-called Left Front government. Three policemen, including an inspector and two constables, were suspended following the land-mine blast.
What sparked off the rebellion was the brutal reign of terror unleashed by the police in the Lalgarh region committing indescribable atrocities on innocent people. Along with state terror, the social-fascist goons belonging to the CPI (M) had pounced on the villages with fire-arms, abducting and beating up people on suspicion of being sympathetic to the Maoists. On November 3, West Midnapore police raided far-flung villages of Lalgarh at the Belpahari end of Jangalmahal, and detained 15 people. Three of these were school-kids who were tortured badly and charged with sedition or waging war against the state, conspiracy and use of explosives. Two are Class IX students of Katapahari High School and the third is a Class VII student of a Lalgarh school. They were returning after attending a village festival on the 3rd evening when police picked them up and lined them up with four other ‘suspects’ arrested in the case. These incidents provoked the initial protests. But paying little heed to the growing anger and protest of the people the police continued with their terror campaign.
In Kantaphari village one Deepak Pratihar was arrested on November 4 and his pregnant wife Lakshmi was assaulted. Another ten people, including a retired teacher and a contractor from Choto Pelia village, were arrested as police raids continued in 35 villages in Lalgarh block. The turning point came when the Lalgarh police tortured 11 adivasi women on the mid-night of Nov 6 in Chhoto Pelia. Mrs. Chitamoni Murmu, a poor Santhal woman, had lost her vision after being struck with a rifle butt on her left eye by a policeman. Some like Panmani Hansda suffered fractures. This brutal incident, which took place in Chhotopelia when only women folk were resent at the time of the police raid, served as the spark that set off a prairie fire spreading to the rest of West Midnapore and neighbouring Bankura and Purulia districts too.

Wichita Won’t diversity, won’t have jobs
The latest forecast in The Wichita Eagle is that jobs will begin to recover in 2012. But will they?
According to The Wichita Eagle:
“Experts predict Wichita's economy will rebound by 2012
BY DAN VOORHIS
The Wichita Eagle
Green shoots. That's what President Obama calls the first tentative signs of recovery: The upswing in the stock market, the bump in consumer confidence.
But jobs are different.
Jobs are the last thing to go in a plunge and the last to come back in a recovery. That's why companies are still laying people off 18 months after the official start of the recession in December 2007.
A new forecast from economic forecasting firm IHS Global Insight predicts that Wichita will regain the number of jobs it had at its employment peak by the second quarter of 2012.
Some analysts say that seems realistic, while others say that may be too optimistic.”
But Wichita suffers from tunnel vision. They put all their eggs in one basket – the aircraft industry. The Aircraft plants have outsourced a lot of jobs, leaving more minimum wage jobs and less union paid jobs. Meanwhile they build large expensive homes as if millionaires are flocking to this city.
They continue to use up agricultural land for housing developments so fast that Wichita can no longer claim to be tied to the agriculture industry. The aircraft industry may never fully recover from this recession and there are no other really big industries to take over.
The leadership of Wichita is made up of people with short sited goals who have no long term vision at all and seem incapable of planning any kind of diversification. Of course the same in-bread Republicans that get elected in the rest of the state seem to dominate Wichita as well. Such backward looking people can’t be expected to fix anything on their own.

Tiller’s murderers may not have won after all
The anti-abortion wingnuts may not have won after all. Doctor LeRoy Carhart has declared his intentions to relocate in Wichita, KS to continue his practice.
From KSN News 3:
“Wichita, Kansas - Doctor LeRoy Carhart has been in Wichita, performing abortions for a decade.
Today, he says he wants to continue the work of Dr. George Tiller in providing late term abortions.
Carhart says, "My ideal (location) would be in Wichita, but, anywhere in Kansas. We're looking for an alternative site to provide abortion care for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters that are medically indicated."
In fact, Dr. Carhart says as soon as he can find a building, he will be open for business.”
If this happens the anti-abortionists will not be able to claim victory in Wichita.
“Shuv it up yer ass Bill O’Reilly.”

News on Maoist expansion in India
From
http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MAOIST_REVOLUTION:
Maoist rebellion: India's big security worry - from reactionary press (for information only)
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Maoist rebels in India are rapidly expanding their insurgency and could move from remote rural areas to cities, a top security official said on Tuesday.
The rebels are estimated to have 22,000 fighters, and have spread to more than 180 of the country's 630 districts from just 56 in 2001, government and independent data says.
"They have a very comprehensive plan to spread their tentacles into other parts of the country, including urban areas," M.L. Kumawat, special secretary (Internal Security) told Reuters in an interview.
"We now need highly specialised forces to deal with the sophisticated weapons they have. Our police forces will be capable, I cannot say they are capable to deal with them now."
Equipped with automatic weapons, shoulder rocket launchers, mines and explosives, the Maoists want to cripple economic activity. Last year they carried out at least 1,000 attacks, but most of these were in remote jungles and villages.
The Maoists, who say they are fighting for the rights of the poor and landless, control some of India's mineral-rich areas and operate in large swathes of the eastern, central and southern countryside.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist rebellion as one of the gravest security threats to India.
The Maoists have killed police and politicians, and targeted government buildings and railway tracks in an insurgency that has killed thousands since the 1960s.
But some recent attacks have been carried out closer to cities, and one such attack in Nayagarh, just 87 km (54 miles) from the state capital of mineral-rich Orissa, showed that they were moving closer. Similar attacks have taken place in towns in West Bengal state.
Kumawat said interrogation of Maoist leaders, recently arrested from cities like Bangalore and the state of Haryana, revealed their urban plans.
"Right now they may not be violent in these areas, but their presence cannot be ruled out ... the Naxal (Maoists) problem is not confined to one or two states anymore."
They are also in touch with other militant groups operating in Kashmir and the northeast, Kumawat said. "They are supporting other extremist groups in Jammu and Kashmir, and have linkages with northeastern militant groups."
Kumawat, who is also the chief of the Border Security Force (BSF), India's main frontier guarding agency, said $1.7 billion would be spent over the next five years to increase deployments along Pakistan and Bangladesh borders and modernise the force.
"After all there are training camps of many militant groups across the border and we have to strengthen our force."

Maoists warn to resume people's war

Kantipur Report
KATHMANDU, June 8 - The Unified Communist Party Nepal (Maoist) on Monday staged a mass movement in Banepa of Kavre district, on Monday, and warned to return to the people's war. They staged the rally in protest against Sunday's clashes in which its cadres were beaten up and offices were vandalised.
The rally of Maoist supporters who gathered from the nearby villages marched around the town of Banepa , 26 kilometers from the capital, and converged into a corner meeting at Chandani Chowk where the Maoist party office is situated.
Speaking at the rally, the Maoist leaders not only warned that they would return to the civil war but also said that those who dare to attack Maoists would not be spared. They claimed that the Maoist cadres have their weapons in their own house and not stored in UN-monitored cantonments.
"We have already measured the size of the hands of those who attacked our cadres and vandalised our offices," said Maoist leader Chakra Bahadur Thapa 'Sagar'.
Another leader said that their retaliation would extremely violent and the current government would be responsible for its consequences.
The demonstrating Maoists loudly chanted slogans against the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party Nepal-United Marxist Leninist.
The local administration had to clamp curfew in Banepa yesterday after the clash between the town residents and the Maoists turned violent during the banda called by the Maoist affiliated Tamang Rastriya Mukti Morcha.
Also today, Maoist cadres who reached Banepa to take part in the rally damaged the UML District Office by pelting stones.
