war is a part of life, it has been ever since man was created by the good lord. if you dont agree with the way things are done in america move to a country with no stable government, or with a military that wont stand up and fight for your freedom. thats whats wrong with america today, to many people like yall who take freedom for granted, closed minded individuals who dont appreciate that soldiers lay down their life every single day defending this country and your freedom.
thank you so much for your struggle, everyone who's a part of this movement. it is so inspiring and yet at the same time so frustrating... despite all this the SOA is still in operation. but, i have to keep faith... it is beautiful to see the solidarity here. it feels like it's always an uphill battle to explain to people how all these struggles are connected. i'm loving seeing this coming together. thank you.
Pomegranate, thank you for the compliment and I think that is a fair question. The so called "eccentric expressions" however may seem strange to Americans from the United States, but to people of the Americas south of our border these artistic expressions are strongly associated with deep rooted cultural history and experience. The 20th century was an extremely bloody era for nearly every country in Latin America, and much of that conflict was fueled by US economic interests.
Great work. Can anyone tell me, though, why the preponderance of such eccentric expressions -- ghost faces, blood makeup, large puppetry, etc. And such a despairing tone. None of which was the case with, say, the civil rights movement, the Indian independence movement, etc. It seems to me that these are stylistic choices which would be a turn-off to many otherwise sympathetic Americans, and could self-marginalize a totally legitimate cause. Just wondering. I still admire the work.
This video is awesome! Great that you were able to shoot footage of the line crossing by David Omondi, who is still in prison (he was sentenced to six months the Monday after the vigil!), footage from the concert, the CIW, Alejandro from Honduras, the Beehive Design Collective and much more. Excellent put together!

Alfredo Cristiani Burkard was the President of El Salvador and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces when the Jesuits were killed.
He attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Why not call for the closure of GU? Or West Point? Makes just about as much sense.
