It’s been 65 days since the assault on the Gulf of Mexico started showing signs of a fatal wound a la BP and BP’s alliance with the US Gov’t… Over and over again, it’s the same old story: BP, like all colonizers, in the wake of their destruction, elicit the same question asked by the living communities from which they steal: “Maman Tuwa, an elder of the isolated Palawan tribe from Mt Gantong, fears that mining will destroy his community. ‘If our mountains are deforested, how are we going to survive? What are we going to plant if the soil of the uplands will be washed down to the lowlands? How are we going to feed our children? We’ll surely die’.” ——->That is a quote from one of 20 articles excerpted and linked below… NOTE: The way I have links in this post organized is these topics in this order: 1. What We Are Up Against 2. What Is At Stake 3. What We Can Do To Stop This. I may keep that format for the future, but I’ll see how it works out… [AND, for those who asked, the link to Saturday’s “Hands Across the Sands” is also included in this post, again…]
