JUDGING BY THE EGREGIOUS SILENCE on mainstream U.S. infotainment stations, one might assume that the life and premeditated murder of an innocent child is only worth our compassion and outrage if she is white. Because the brutal shooting and home invasion that swallowed up the life of nine year-old Brisenia Flores has had a hard time getting any play on major “news” outlets.
IT WAS PAINFUL ENOUGH for the community when the Minuteman Defense League murdered two members of the Flores family. And that was before we knew the FBI could have prevented it.
IN ARIZONA, DO WE NOW SEE a sad mutation of our once-beautiful América? Or do the scales fall from our eyes to reveal the true, gleeful, unabashed visage of a beast on which we ride?
A LAWBREAKING, RACIST POLICE OFFICER sheds tears of humiliation at being exposed. Serendipitously caught on video stomping an innocent man and threatening to “beat the fucking Mexican piss out of him,” he is temporarily suspended from the force until the public looks elsewhere, at which point he will be reinstated and treated to fresh Starbucks.

TO GIVE YOU A PEEK INTO THE IMMIGRATION RALLY that I attended on Sunday in Washington, DC, I’ve embedded a slideshow of the fotos I took. Come time for the next News With Nezua, I’ll have a video for you to watch. I can only hope that I can convey to you some of the energy that was filling the National Mall.
A SPIRIT THAT MOVES AMONG OUR PEOPLE and means to do great harm to many of us cloaks itself in many shapes. An extreme aversion to what is perceived as cultural shifts in the USA hides behind ideas of patriotism or English-fetish and manifests as cruelty.
NOBODY WAS IN DOUBT, and that’s the kind of town it is. A town where even the police collude to hide the murder of Mexicans, because it might besmirch the reputations of high school football stars if people knew they were cold blooded murderers. But truth has a way of prying open even the tightest of locked doors.
THIS STORM is unfolding as it will, and we are yet to see how it will end. The electricity feels threatening at times. But here is a chance, now, finally to talk about the things we need to talk about. Which means the chance to make real change.
Remembering Marcelo Lucero, killed in Patchogue not long ago. For being a “Beaner.”
PEOPLE LIKE LOU DOBBS and William Gheen only care about violent environments when they suffer. Clearly, immigrants and Latinos getting killed or hurt matters none to them.
THERE IS AN AMBER ALERT for Yair Anthony Carillo, one sweet baby boy snatched in Nashville on Tuesday by a woman who entered the Carillo home pretending to be an Immigration authority demanding papers proving citizenship and left after stabbing the mother nine times.
WHY DO US HISTORY BOOKS and mainstream culture revere the pioneers and the US settlers in our lore? Why do the amoral and ruthless GOP always gain ground? I would whisper to you that the reason is the same reason that men’s violence can blossom in our culture, often unimpeded.
WHAT USGOV is now doing to México by way of NAFTA and the overwhelming of México’s market by US-subsidized Agribusiness it does directly in other nations through coups and forced legislation. The Empire, in yet another shape, sprawls and burps and bleeds and chews up humans as it moves into its final phases.
A PROBLEM IN TODAY’S DIALOGUE is a blatant abuse of pronouns. WE don’t use them as WE should. Words as cloaks, words as shields, words as masks—Television language on full blast from the mouths of well-paid shillers, in-absentia killers, supergroomed elitists faker pill-popper death makers.
TODAY IS THE DAY of México’s midterm elections. While Felipe Calderón is not on the ballot, his policies are under scrutiny. Support for or against PAN, FeCal’s party, will be interpreted as approval or disapproval for his violence-heavy policies. Of course, that’s assuming the vote tallies are legit.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
