Colombia: General, Strike

So far, police and army brutality has not gone beyond the usual. That's a plus. But it is a country wide strike of persons in varied sectors of the economy with little communication or considered cooperation yet.

The strikers all have very good reasons and call to strike. Among the various major causes for the strike is the way small set of oligarchic power wielders in Colombia relate to and collude with a set powerful among US power wielder's.

That is US citizens may see the strike as an example of their tax dollars at work.

Colombians want jobs too.

Honor and justic is important to them too.

We sustain a small oligarcy. The oligarchy has not been able to help the people.
