So-called "anarchist commandos" have raided Turkish and Arab businesses in Berlin, either ripping down or burning football flags on public display.<br /><br />Ibrahim Bassal, a German of Arab descent who owns a mobile phone shop in Berlin's ethnically mixed Neukölln district, started hanging a 50ft German tricolour from the top of his shop building when the World Cup began. The flag has been torn down several times and once an unknown assailant set fire to it in the early hours of the morning.<br /><br />Mr Bassal said that before the attacks, a group of 16 aggressive, black-clad young Germans entered his shop and accused him of "arousing Nazi sympathies" with his flag. "We have been living in and working in Germany for decades and our children were born here," Mr Bassal complained earlier this week. "Of course we support Germany. What's that got to do with Nazis? What's the problem?"<br /><br />Scores of other Berliners with Turkish and Arab roots have complained of similar attacks in which flags have been torn off cars or shop fronts and sometimes shredded or burned. A group calling itself "Kommando Kevin-Prince Boateng" has indirectly claimed responsibility for the flag war after posting a notice on the Indymedia website calling for the "capture" of German flags. Boateng, a Portsmouth midfielder playing for Ghana in the World Cup, put German team captain Michael Ballack (Chelsea) out of the tournament with a foul in May's FA Cup final.<br /><br />The anarchists' reaction is not new. Berlin's radical left-wing activists launched similar campaigns in 2006 when Germany was hosting the World Cup. They stole hundreds of flags in the city's Friedrichshain district and pelted soccer supporters with water bombs.<br /><br />During the 2008 European championships German flags were stolen, shredded and hung from lampposts as anarchist "trophies". However this tournament marks the first time that immigrants have been targeted for flying the German flag. "They see us as immigrants," Mr Bassal said of the anarchists. "They don't understand that Germans who aren't from Germany support the national side." While much of that support stems from the fact that Turkey, the country of Germany's largest, 1.7 million- strong, immigrant group, is not playing in the contest, the huge backing given to the side by Germans with Turkish and Arab roots is undoubtedly due to the ethnic mix of the players.<br /><br />The German squad has a higher number of players from diverse ethnic background than at any time in its history. Around half the players were born abroad, have parents who were born abroad or have one non-German parent. One of the side's biggest stars is Mesut Ozil, the son of Turkish parents whose goal sent Germany through to the second round of the World Cup. The enthusiasm for Ozil was on show during the Germany-England game last Sunday, when hundreds of Berlin's Turkish residents flocked to the city's football fan mile draped in German national flags. Commentators have noted that half of the German current side would have not have been allowed to compete little more than a decade ago because the country's strict citizenship laws, which used to be based on "German blood ties", would have barred them.<br /><br />Yet when it comes to national sporting highlights such as tonight's Germany-Argentina showdown, immigrants like Berlin's Ibrahim Bassal remain defiant. A neighbourhood "flag watch" has been set up in his district to safeguard the honour of the German tricolour hanging from his building. "We won't let our pride be taken away," he insists.TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-68015918466743363802010-05-18T13:59:00.000-07:002010-05-18T14:10:02.589-07:00Journey Parallax<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRGdjo8-eTnWR5RK3ofL0hE0PvK_WsnCCv6deGRl3oeBEClDDs6HTt97_MRKDUGxbVXJD_wgkfM3izLyg0rZKMTvLmqkah-kIfKPxSCpF_5TPNPb0zTmuJhnHKQ1SlvgmWans/s1600/journey_to_the_east_vimeo.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I remember seeing the people and assumed it was a community, say, in the South, a place that I associate with blight (I know that sounds awful, but it's true--I'm fed this by the mainstream media, it's a reaction that comes without any thought).

And i'd actually rather not comment on the content, but point out that the media, in general, has this incredible power to depress people these days. It's all doom and gloom. Not that this sort of thing shouldn't be reported. But it bothers me, how much power the media has to tax our existence.TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-66118949091945130492009-03-08T16:14:00.000-07:002009-03-10T16:15:13.084-07:00'Unframed' Record Release Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NDEAewHnyDCfM6NjOgh9gWp75Gsfca5GN50jYP0VPdvRZw-AUk0qUJB0kRQRRphHHsx04zgrYs3T6kdqn78H6vkk1SzOZkzDptEpjk7_-0Z-j8eIhVLknLALhgNkYfKXGRxe/s1600-h/release_party_poster.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NDEAewHnyDCfM6NjOgh9gWp75Gsfca5GN50jYP0VPdvRZw-AUk0qUJB0kRQRRphHHsx04zgrYs3T6kdqn78H6vkk1SzOZkzDptEpjk7_-0Z-j8eIhVLknLALhgNkYfKXGRxe/s400/release_party_poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311701487584237010" border="0" /></a>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-52919356021996789122009-03-03T05:44:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:46:28.838-08:00Ballet for (anti-riot) water cannon vehicle<embed src="http://blip.tv/play/gjDwqAf0FQ%2Em4v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="266" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-36195734066741303902009-02-24T23:37:00.000-08:002009-02-26T23:45:37.122-08:00Vendor Law Reform Protest<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/sets/72157614394623113/"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/3311486653/" title="DSC_0162.JPG by Iluminación luiseño, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3533/3311486653_36a2c3ff2d.jpg" alt="DSC_0162.JPG" height="334" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/sets/72157614394623113/"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/3311446979/" title="DSC_0021.JPG by Iluminación luiseño, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3482/3311446979_0cc356fb38.jpg" alt="DSC_0021.JPG" height="334" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/collections/72157614475828168/"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luiseno/3311466587/" title="DSC_0086.JPG by Iluminación luiseño, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3570/3311466587_466c965f6c.jpg" alt="DSC_0086.JPG" height="334" width="500" /></a>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-32803350060123123702009-02-24T07:36:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:42:56.516-08:00For a New Generation, Kimchi Goes With Tacos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKa2qWZCfVs4ebcM3TtPurhO_EyFh-1EEL3bMocMyZ4bYzkak3rTff7qF6HDHuSv4NHqA6ycT0tH8LT2NjxfCWr8l7k3I97bQnS12fD6ggIAxJAGgBFM5KoGrabKr8GC5Qtxvs/s1600-h/South-Korean-flag.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKa2qWZCfVs4ebcM3TtPurhO_EyFh-1EEL3bMocMyZ4bYzkak3rTff7qF6HDHuSv4NHqA6ycT0tH8LT2NjxfCWr8l7k3I97bQnS12fD6ggIAxJAGgBFM5KoGrabKr8GC5Qtxvs/s400/South-Korean-flag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307502636241282386" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsQAVqmLarbssMuYlv1bjdATlyvvcfmITZIGHQ0_yeHQeb9_4y7Lf3Na10JETmrFUj19G9PHOboo11e3zvYavwaebYpK2nVfPTyvjVNZyrh14YcZjgCYDU5yxSjtVaaLueOEf/s1600-h/Mexican_Flag.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsQAVqmLarbssMuYlv1bjdATlyvvcfmITZIGHQ0_yeHQeb9_4y7Lf3Na10JETmrFUj19G9PHOboo11e3zvYavwaebYpK2nVfPTyvjVNZyrh14YcZjgCYDU5yxSjtVaaLueOEf/s400/Mexican_Flag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307502637244476274" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />The food at Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go, the taco vendor that has overtaken Los Angeles, does not fit into any known culinary category.

To get from Nogales to El Cubo you have to take the highway to Santa Ana and head west, from Santa Ana to Pueblo Nuevo, Pueblo Nuevo to Altar, Altar to Caborca, Caborca to San Isidro, then take the road to Sonoyta, on the Arizona border, but turn off onto a dirt road before you get there and go about fifteen or twenty miles. The Nogales newspaper talked about "his faithful companion, a devoted teacher in El Cubo." In the town we went to the school, and one glance was enough to tell us that it had been built after 1940. Cesárea Tinajero couldn't have taught here. Though if we dug around under it, we might be able to find the old school.<br /><br />We talked to the teacher. She teaches the children Spanish and Pápago. The Pápagos live in Arizona and Sonora. We asked the teacher whether she was Pápago. No, she isn't. I'm from Guaymas, she tells us, and my grandfather was a Mayo. We ask her why she teaches Pápago. So the language won't be lost, she tells us. There are only two hundred Pápagos left in Mexico. You're right, that's not many, we admit. In Arizona there are almost sixteen thousand, but only two hundred in Mexico. And how many Pápagos are left in El Cubo? About twenty, says the teacher, but it doesn't matter, I'll keep teaching. Then she explains that the Pápagos don't call themselves that. They call themselves O'Odham and the Pimas call themselves Óob and the Seris call themselves Konkáak. We tell her that we were in Bahía Kino, in Punta Chueca, and El Dólar and we heard the fishermen singing Seri songs. The teacher is surprised. There are seven hundred Konkáak, she says, if that, and they don't fish. Well, these fishermen had learned a Seri song, we say. Maybe, says the teacher, but more likely they fooled you.TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-4798608177486580892009-01-14T00:02:00.000-08:002009-02-27T08:25:33.392-08:00Esperanza del Barrio: Saliendo Adelante<object height="267" width="400"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2846861&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2846861&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="267" width="400"></embed></object>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-27915233927497778992009-01-01T23:23:00.000-08:002009-02-26T23:25:45.750-08:00La Raza Cósmica<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.filosofia.org/aut/001/razacos.htm"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Wh_-adwOkoo6ZquFfTh34U0iEl7gkPSbDeqpP6Kztrs-b1VI0w5mYK-VzFAavlASx-S80jOquq3KGduRRXz07_5ZeiNATC4w6196EZVR6aTrsaoEXZ_trBt6DfGJRQobQ48p/s400/razacos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307374754290057746" border="0" /></a>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-69248052645123335952008-12-11T23:59:00.000-08:002009-02-27T00:04:43.465-08:00Esperanza del Barrio: ¡La Lucha Sigue!<object height="300" width="400"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></object><object width="400" height="267"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2464461&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2464461&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="267"></embed></object>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-78079524940256081722008-10-28T00:07:00.000-07:002009-02-27T00:15:00.648-08:00Movement for Justice in El BarrioCame across this <a href="http://www.leftturn.org/?q=node/1062">article</a> while doing research for upcoming videos on street vendors in East Harlem<span style="font-style: italic;">:</span><p style="font-style: italic;">"Zapatismo is not a new political ideology or a rehash of old ideologies. Zapatismo is nothing, it doesn't exist. It only serves as a bridge, to cross from one side to the other. So everyone fits within zapatismo, everyone who wants to cross from one side to the other. Everyone has his or her own side and other side. There are no universal recipes, lines, strategies, tactics, laws, rules or slogans. There is only a desire: to build a better world, that is, a new world."<br />-- The Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous General Command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (CCRI-CG of the EZLN)</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Movement for Justice in El Barrio (MJB), an East Harlem-based organization of immigrants and low-income people of color, has been fighting gentrification in Manhattan’s “last frontier” for over three years now. Being majority Mexican and sharing an affinity for the zapatistas’ way of organizing, MJB decided less than a year after forming to join the Other Campaign as an essential component of their work for self-determination.<br /></p><p style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.leftturn.org/?q=node/1062">Read on...</a><br /></p>TGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-50153756528806680252008-10-20T19:16:00.000-07:002009-02-26T19:17:02.727-08:00Community Techno Unit<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5f_HrAfuSdM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5f_HrAfuSdM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Working for the Pearson Foundation's Digital Arts AllianceTGannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821447181129012593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-77390445711158090482008-05-28T17:47:00.001-07:002008-05-28T17:51:39.271-07:00sounds from the deep.As you can read below,,, luiseño is about to make a quick move again towards its california motherland. with new sights and sounds under our wings we hope to make a slightly more substantial impact on our people of the west.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjQ8_U57MoU5j2QpDFPy9h37parecH_nav6okJxRGEyWn0zn6g6vYl1MptxL6hwt2UfvzM4WKCozwGA8RjJeQddTaosE5PAYVWO7yiQa5uY9BqlcklqUtl-FgstawvosGQziOdA/s1600-h/2518464813_00d76049d1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjQ8_U57MoU5j2QpDFPy9h37parecH_nav6okJxRGEyWn0zn6g6vYl1MptxL6hwt2UfvzM4WKCozwGA8RjJeQddTaosE5PAYVWO7yiQa5uY9BqlcklqUtl-FgstawvosGQziOdA/s400/2518464813_00d76049d1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205595116704626594" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36327552.post-36912866399891794152008-05-16T19:43:00.000-07:002008-05-16T20:02:30.545-07:00<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: courier new;">• * ¨ </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: courier new;">FROM: PEOPLE OF THE WEST</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: courier new;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: courier new;"> HOWDY DUDE are you on your way already??????
