EZLN Denounces Cartel Clashes in Chiapas over Protection Racket for Mayan Train and Trans-Isthmus Corridor
|
|
|
|
“The so-called megaprojects do not lead to development. They are only commercial corridors opened so that organized crime has new markets. The dispute between rival cartels is not only about human and drug trafficking, it is above all the dispute over the monopoly of the protection racket in what is wrongly called the Mayan Train and the Trans-Isthmus Corridor.”

"The aim of critical thinking is not to find the truth... but to question "truths,"confront them, dismantle them and show them for what they are: the idiotic opinion of one or several idiots (of course, not forgetting gender parity -) and with many or few followers. Critical thinking is not only a theoretical position. It is, above all, an ethical position in the face of knowledge and reality."
