Morales assassins: Bolivia gang "fought in Balkans"

[Jan Klimkowski]

From President Evo Morales' speech to be delivered at the 4th Continental Summit of Indigenous Peoples of the Abya Yala* (effectively, the area called the "Americas" by non-indigenous people), in Puno, Peru.

Morales' words are powerful and resonant. Those words will of course be ignored by MSM.

"For thousands of years we lived with nature, in constant balance with her and inside her. Today we feel the devastating effects of the neoliberal, transnational capitalist system that is quickly detroying our planet.

"From outside and above, they still try to impose upon us economic policies that attack our rights as people, the rights of other living creatures and the rights of planet earth. They still try to sell us trinkets for gold. They told us there was a discovery when there was in fact an invasion. They told us there was a conquest when there was a genocide. And now they say that they want integration and to include us in the world economy when all they really want is to steal our riches, keep the profits and ignore solidarity."

Abya Yala is an expression which in the Kuna language means "land in its full maturity", is used by the Panamanians Kunas to refer to the continent since before the Columbus arrival.

The Bolivian Aymara leader Takir Mamani argues for the use of the term "Abya Yala" in the official declarations of indigenous peoples' governing bodies, saying that "placing foreign names on our villages, our cities, and our continents is equivalent to subjecting our identity to the will of our invaders and their heirs."
