The Corporate Criminals of Oaxaca
Propaganda Corporate Criminals in Oaxaca
A List of US, Canadian and European Corporations Profiting from Death
and Repression in Oaxaca. These US, Canadian and European companies
play a major role in propping up Oaxaca's bloody regime.

November 21st, 2006 - evil writes: These companies do business in
Oaxaca with the corrupt PRI government of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz and under
Plan Puebla Panama. They are part of the repression and they need to
be held accountable! They need to divest or face up to the crimes
against humanity and against the people of Oaxaca that they play a
major part in by propping up the corrupt regime of Governor Ulises
Ruiz Ortiz and the PRI. We know the truth. Start hitting these
bastards where it hurts until the killing stops in Oaxaca, for
justice and for Brad.




Please forward this!
Take action locally, December 1-4, 2006!

These companies do business in Oaxaca with the corrupt PRI government
of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, and they need to be held accountable! They need
to divest or face up to the crimes against humanity and against the
people of Oaxaca that they play a major part in by propping up the
corrupt regime of Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz and the PRI.

carried out surface exploration and drilling on three concessions in
Oaxaca, named Elvira I, II and III until October 1999. (unomásuno,

Kennecott Exploration was the subsidiary responsible and continues to
have links with the state government of Oaxaca and Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.

3. Quietly, quietly building the North American Union
It would appear that this may be why they're all working together, no?

Quietly, quietly building the North American Union
By Steven Yates
October 5, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

Just when you thought it might be safe to go on to topics other than regional integration and trade practices driven by the love of money and the lust for power, you get blindsided again.

While ordinary Americans were reflecting on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, globalists of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico were making their way quietly, quietly, to Banff, Alberta for the North American Forum held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Sept. 12–14. The meeting was closed-doors. According to some reports buses with attendees were arriving at night. There was no print media coverage in the U.S. and very little in Canada; I was able to download an article from the Toronto-based Star. Those who do not get their news from the Internet remain in the dark about one of the biggest unfolding events of the present decade: the globalist social engineering of a North American Union.

WorldNetDaily was able to obtain materials marked Internal Document, Not For Public Release. The whistleblower, Mel Hurtig, noted Canadian author, publisher, and leader of the National Party of Canada, told WorldNetDaily that the “secret meeting was designed to undermine the democratic process…. It was clear that the intention was to keep this important meeting about integrating the three countries out of the public eye.”

Representing the U.S. in Banff was Former U.S. Secretary of State George Schulz. Representing Mexico was Former Mexican Finance Minister Pedro Aspe. Representing Canada was Former Premier of Alberta, Peter Lougheed. The first session featured opening comments by each. The sessions that followed had names like, “A Vision for North America: Issues and Options,” “Toward a North American Energy Strategy,” “Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration,” and “Border Infrastructure and Continental Prosperity.”
