CounterPunch republication of a collaborative article by Gilbert Mercier & me. Global capitalism connects the dots. We must do the same. The formaldehyde-laden Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trailers that were used in post-Katrina New Orleans were later sold as school buildings for Haitian children. This should not have happened. United Nations peacekeepers are inured to urban warfare on Africans, Haitians and Afghans, and then returned home as militarized police. This could not happen to a population with any view of the big picture. Global citizenry calls for an awareness that a wrongdoing anywhere matters to everyone, everywhere. It calls for solidarity with all people of the world that is based, not on pity, but self recognition. - Gilbert Mercier & Dady Chery #Iraq #Haiti #Philippines #Afghanistan #SriLanka #NewOrleans #Detroit #Corporations #TPP #StopTPP #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #NGO #Clinton #BillClinton #Typhoon #Hayian #Hurricane #FEMA #Monsanto #GMO #Palestine #Gaza #UnitedNations #Peacekeeper
