#Cartoon – SCAF helicopters will drop “prizes” to celebrate #Jan25 Revolution in #Egypt

Sounds like a joke, but it’s NOT!

“…The armed forces will organise parades, air shows and fireworks displays across Egypt, and military helicopters will drop prize certificates in 19 governorates…” http://bit.ly/xqAznN

It’s sounds like the colonizers trying to gain confidence with the natives offering them mirrors.

#Charge: Solidariedade à Ocupação Pinheirinho, ameaçada de despejo iminente

O prefeito de São José dos Campos Eduardo Cury e a justiça estão decididos a despejar as mais de mil e quinhentas familias que ocupam há oito anos um terreno de propriedade do megaespeculador Naji Nahas. Caso o despejo aconteça, espera-se um desfecho trágico, já que os moradores estão se preparando para resistir a invasão da PM. A ocupação, chamada de Pinheirinho, vem recebendo apoios, inclusive do exterior.

Toda solidariedade ao moradores da Ocupação Pinheirinho.
