We cannot organise the event at LARC for various reasons.....sorry!<br>
The other London events with Anthony are going ahead at Unity Works and
Project 142. He will be speaking around 9.0.pm at 142.<br>
If there are people who want to get to meet Anthony get back to me. On
Saturday he will be speaking about coca as a herb of healing.<br>
He is an extraordinary guy and is watching Latin America closely...not a
pretty picture but something we should all be tuning into if we want to
understand what is going on all over the world and make the
connections.<br>
Coca is a sacred plant and it is under attack...or is it really the
people who draw strength from it who are the target...and why is the US
spending so much energy on creating this confusion?<br><br>

Please be aware of the visit of Anthony Henman who wrote MAMA COCA in
1978....still current in relation to the onslaught on the indigenous
populations of Latin America and the outrageous mis-information that is
fed to us in the West.<br>
Please do all you can to spread this info about his talks and if you want
more specific info get back to me.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">This is an overview of Anthoy's
book, published in 1978, from the cover.</blockquote><br>
He will be speaking at Unity Works, next to Hackney Wick Station. Sat.
July 23ed. Call Olivia, 07976 350 505<br><br>
At Project 142, 142 Lea Bridge Rd, Hackney, on Sunday eve, the following
day, just go along for the regular Sun eve party-gathering. This Sunday
is going into Day Out Of Time with Paradox.<br>
if you really have to...... call Dave, 079 505 009 79<br><br>
and we hope at LARC in Whitechapel on Tuesday eve. Call Terasa of Latin
American Network to check 0788 199 0631<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Mama Coca.<br><br>
'With all the noteriety currently associated with cocaine, it is perhaps
surprising to note how little attention has been directed at the coca
leaf itself - source of illicit white powder - and particularly at the
real, as opposed to merely sensational, dimensions of the cocaine
industry and the so called 'war on drugs' in S America<br>
Being conceived as a quest for the mythological spirit which resides
within the coca bush,' Mama Coca' is both an indicment of the
monopolization of the cocaine traffic by the reactionary security forces,
and a passionate defence of the habit of chewing coca leaves in their
natural, unrefined state. The book first examines the overall cultural
and economic history of coca in the Andes, and then concentrates on the
way the plant is cultivated, prepared and consumed by one particular
group of coca adepts, the Paez Indians of Cauca, Colombia.<br>
The book is a libertarian analysis of the role of coca in the broader
context of Paez magical and medicinal practices, and an understanding of
its significance in the struggle which these Indians are currently waging
in defence of their land and their cultural integrity.'<br><br>
The book is now out of print, but i believe Anthony is working on an a
new version.<br>
For anyone interested in coca as a herb the book contains a botanical
study and explores many misconceptions and claims. Totally
fascinating.<br>
Maybe some sections could be photocopied.<br>
Anyway, Anthony would be interested to share some current information
about the situation as it is now developing in 2005.</blockquote>He lives
in Peru and is an anthropologist. This is an opportunity to see what lies
behind the reality management we are offered by the US gov.<br>

<font face="Arial Rounded MT Bold, Helvetica" size=1>1. except where we
are able to admit our own far far worse & far far longer term
terrorism, we must stop seeing it purely as terrorism.<br>
<i>”The killers are those who kill - and that includes our pilots as well
as their bombers. We don't want to kill civilians, but we know that our
wars will do that, and death does not come more pleasantly or less
painfully because the victims are killed by the supposedly benevolent
West rather than the supposedly cruel East. Now we are beginning to pay
the price.”</i> Robert Fisk<br><br>
2. al-queda leaders have made very clear all along that they are fighting
a defensive jihad, the only one permitted by islam - the kind saladin
fought successfully against the christian crusades. indeed, as I
read mohamed’s words, such action is <i>obligatory</i> on all muslims
when the Faith / Faithful are under attack. once a defensive jihad
has been declared, <i>aggressive</i> attacks on the Enemy become
permitted, even <i>required</i>. <br><br>
(if your response is <i>THEYRE ATTACKING US!</i>, then ask yourself how
many arab soldiers are positioned in <i>your</i> country. and if u
say, after all this, that our military were <i>invited</i> in by some
MEGA FAT QUISLING SHEIKH, then I say u r a baboon :)) such
ignorance is a geometrically accelerating danger to me and to all people
on this planet.<br><br>
3. we ALREADY KNOW against what those thousands of terrorists and
hundreds of thousands of supporters are defending. and their demands are
<i>eminently</i> reasonable: <br><br>
<b>A. REMOVAL OF ALL FOREIGN TROOPS FROM ARAB LANDS</b> (except
UN)<br><br>
<b>B. IMPOSITION OF A UN AGREED PEACE SETTLEMENT AROUND ISRAEL’S
BORDERS.</b> (militarily if necessarily, and for as long as required
- like yugoslavia). <br><br>
these are an <i><u>absolute minimum</u></i>, are <i><u>eminently
reasonable</u></i>, would already stop the massive spread of terrorism in
its tracks, and would save hundreds (possibly hundreds of thousands?) of
western lives over the next decade. meanwhile the withdrawn
personnel and equipment should be put to protecting our own homelands and
borders.<br><br>
<b>C. FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR ALL FORCED CONTRACTS AND CRIMES AGAINST
THEM, AND A SIMULTANEOUS CANCELLATION OF ALL WORLD DEBT</b> (for the same
reasons - and let’s pray the africans and the indians will be more
‘understanding’ than the arabs!)<br>
removing soldiers and settling the israel question only delivers a level
playing field, it would not be <i>nearly</i> enough to compensate for all
the bullying terrorism we have practised on their civilisation over the
centuries and since the discovery of oil. <br>
what’s fundamentally required is not some begrudging inch-by-inch retreat
but a Magnificent Public Gesture to show Sincerity and Contrition (far
better than having it forced on us at a later date when SOME terrorism
continued to develop). the establishing of a fair “market price”
for oil would be an excellent step in this general direction - say double
what we’ve allowed so far?<br><br>
the above actions (or UN promises to implement) would, <i>at a single
stroke </i>or in several steps, <br>
i] cut off the ‘religious’ base of the jihad<br>
ii] answer the political grievances<br>
iii] resolve the economic crimes. <br>
they would thus drain the massively spawning community of fanatics of
public support, the planet would be perceived by all its inhabitants to
be on a proper and fair evolutionary path at last, the terrorism problem
would begin to wither on the vine, and surprisingly quickly the present
problem would be looked back on as having been little more than a
learning curve on humanity’s progress towards globality.<br><br>
obviously none of this can begin to happen till the dinosaurs have
finally been shrugged onto the Fossil Record, with the name George Bush
consigned to History as the planet’s Greatest Bogyman &
Schmuck. sounds about right to me :)<br>
