Thxs for responding. Lovelock may be entirely correct, but I will continue my best to try and alert the masses. I call myself a fast-crash doomer with a small shred of hope [stupidity?] that the masses can be aroused in time to save a few of us. I call it trying to "optimize the Dieoff Bottleneck". Time will tell.
On another note, I have been regularly updating TODers on Mexico. From this link:
-------------------
Mexico's Defense Secretariat has dispatched troops from the 36th Infantry Battallion, based at the 44th Military Zone headquarters in Minatitlan, Veracruz, to the Oaxaca City, which has been paralyzed by civil protests for weeks. The situation has promped the Popular People's Assembly of Oaxaca (APPO) to declare a "maximum alert," fearing that a violent eviction of their protest encampments in the city center is imminent. (APRO, Aug. 23)
------------------------------
The embedded APRO link is in Spanish. My disclaimer: I have no idea if this info is true or not. I hope not, but Mexico has a sad history of its troops opening fire on its citizens.

i don't know if this will lead to a spark or not but it certainly looks like it.
All it takes is one trigger happy sob.
Thxs for responding. I am no expert at googling, but the MSM has this report that Oaxacan businesses will shut down for one day.
Then, another google brings up this mind-blowing headline:
"Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) announced the forthcoming Mexican revolution, on the front page of La Jornada of August 24, 2006."
Damn, I wish I was fluent in Spanish! Babelfish translation is not very effective for me.
It's On! If this website is legitimate and truthful--I cannot believe that our US MSM is not doing a better job of covering WTF is going on down South.
I am amazed at this hitlist website, even if it is 'purportedly' Govt. sponsored. This truly takes a set of Huevos Grandes to post this on the WWWeb.
What is the truth? Can any other TODer help determine if Mexico is going to erupt, and shutdown PEMEX's four million barrels/day of oil production?
