>>India accuses US of stealing ancient cures
>>
>>BY DAVID ORR IN DELHI
>>
>>INDIA'S scientists and ecology experts are furious at the raiding of
>their
>>country's storehouse of ancient knowledge. In the latest incident, an
>>American firm has been granted a patent on a combination of three herbs
>>which Indians have long known to have anti-diabetic properties.
>>
>>"It's outrageous", said Suman Sahai of Gene Campaign, set up to protect
>>genetic resources and farmers' rights. "This amounts to theft, a
>violation
>>of our indigenous knowledge. The Americans are stealing from us with
>>impunity and dispossessing Indians of what is rightfully theirs. It's
>like
>>someone stealing Coca-Cola's formula and getting away with it."
>>
>>The patent has been taken out by Cromak Research on a composition of
>>bitter gourd, eggplant and jamun, the fruit of the rose-apple tree, which
>>is abundant all over India at this time of year. The use of these
>>substances in the treatment of diabetes dates back many centuries in
>India
>>and is mentioned in several ancient texts on healing.
>>
>>Although plants themselves cannot be patented, the American application
>>has been granted on edible compositions made from the herbs.
>Nevertheless,
>>the Indian Government is contesting it, buoyed by its success in having
>>revoked an American patent on turmeric two years ago. It was able to
>prove
>>the long-standing use of turmeric as an anti-inflammatory and
>>wound-healing agent.
>>
>>There was less success when India tried to have blocked a patent on
>>basmati rice granted to an American company called Ricetec. The company
>>successfully argued that it was not patenting basmati rice per se but had
>>invented a new variety of basmati rice grain that would produce better
>>quality and higher yields.
>>
>>Ecological groups such as Gene Campaign and Down to Earth, both based in
>>Delhi, contend that peoples have sovereign rights over their natural
>>wealth. Alerted to the increasingly rapacious interests of First World
>>conglomerates, the Third World is starting to fight back. While most
>>leading Western nations, including Britain, have ratified the 1992
>>Biodiversity Convention, which ascribes to states sovereign rights over
>>their biodiversity, the United States has refused to sign.
>>
>>Other indigenous substances on which patents have been taken out include:
>>mustard seeds (used for bronchial and rheumatic complaints); Indian
>>gooseberry (coughs, asthma, jaundice and wounds); and neem (known for
>>pesticidal, dermatological, anti-bacterial and other properties).
>>
>>Dozens of patents have been taken out on neem, probably the most
>>celebrated medicinal tree in India. Two years ago, in a groundbreaking
>>case, a patent on neem oil owned by the multinational W.R. Grace was
>>disallowed on the ground that the plant's anti-fungal property was "known
>>for centuries and commonly prepared in Indian rural areas".
>>
>>The interest of the international pharmaceutical industry in indigenous
>>plants is twofold: developing new chemical products is extremely
>expensive
>>and the drugs, once on the market, are too often found to produce
>damaging
>>side-effects and allergies.
>>
>>Dr Sahai said: "Theft of our knowledge has economic implications. A
>patent
>>granted on turmeric, for example, could eventually operate here,
>>preventing Indian companies from making wound-healing preparations from
>>it." Others say that it will be difficult to stop the plunder of
>>traditional medicines without new biodiversity legislation and a database
>>of medicinal herbs.

circumstances, this is unfair and inflammatory. I'll assume that you've
been misinformed about the MCM, and that you think I'm being malicious
towards them. I don't hold them in any more disdain than any other
political party; they don't make any pronounced left-leaning or anarchist
claims.
the MCM is a "left-wing party with libertarian leanings"? I know not one
anarchist who would make such a claim. In fact they laugh at such a bizarre
suggestion. Ask those in the party, including the social democratic left
wing, and they would also likely find that statement puzzling. Some
consider the party left-of-centre; though not as social-democratic as the
Democratic Coalition party.
social-democratic and right wing, the leader (Prescott) is centrist, and
others in the leadership are more or less pro-business and development, or

"In Montreal, we can create an original atmosphere which will give us an
advantage over the suburbs. ...I want to develop a convivial commercial
atmosphere on our commercial arteries. This is a change which will cost
nothing and which will have a positive impact on commercial activity and on
the morale of merchants", he said.
Sept. 4 98: (Party leader Prescott to The Gazette) "The economy is going to
be a priority, he said. "We want to give more tools to city councilors to
control every aspect of the city's finances."
Ç "An MCM administration will make Montreal a 'City of the Millenium',
declared Michel Prescott, MCM leader and Montreal mayoralty candidate, in a
speech today before the Rotary Club. ...He announced his intention to

Ç Montreal, April 22, 1999 - The leader of the official opposition at City
Hall, Michel Prescott, qualified the recommendation of the Canadian
Association Chiefs of Police (CACP) to de-criminalize the possession of
small quantities of drugs as interesting and positive. "I share entirely
the CACP's objective of seeing the our police forces give more time and
resources to preventing and
fighting against serious criminality and organized crime", said Prescott.
..."As for frauds and burglaries, for example, it seems that our police
service never manages to get the better of the criminals", claims Prescott.

to achieve the stated goals end up affecting these goals. In Roussopoulos'
case, how can people who wish to bring about free communism trust someone
that is unwilling to work in an open, egalitarian way, consciously working
by libertarian methods? How are people to interpret the rift between the
discourse on self-management and democracy and the actual abusive,
authoritarian experiences of dozens of former comrades of Roussopoulos?
one is even more miserly and industrious. No one says he stays in expensive
hotels, but to say his company-paid travels are "not for pleasure" is
laughable. While his comrades work away on minimum wages, living in tiny
flats, indeed sometimes rooms or squats, eating monotonous food,
Roussopoulos decides on his own that he's the representative, going away to
other cities, and coming back to his comfortable two story low-rent co-op,
with his wife Lucia cooking him good meals.

the logic under capital. Well under capital, our masters try not to live
near us, and for their own sake they often restrain from flaunting their
privileges and powers. Nor do they walk into the newspaper office gesturing
people to remain seated and making snide, pompous remarks like "no need to

Roussopoulos telling the ISE students about his friend Norman Nawrocki. So

Roussopoulos needs Norman more than Norman needs him. I've been Norman's

together. He's certainly been unambiguous with me: he has a very low
opinion of Roussopoulos. He explained things to me about Black Rose and the
boss-worker relations there.
15 years. I worked at the newspaper Place publique when Norman's band,
Rhythm Activism, played. They were doing it for the newspaper and for the
volunteers there, not as any personal favour to Roussopoulos. Similarly,
when I called a locksmith (George locksmith) to repair the locks on the
newspaper office doors, the guy at first didn't want to do it because he
had also had a conflict with Roussopoulos. I told him that there are
several of us at the paper, and that we really would appreciate his work. I
personally assured him that he would get paid, and that he didn't have to
deal with Roussopoulos. I asked my former comrade Dimitri what the problem
was, and in a letter he dismissed the locksmith as coming from a poor Greek
peasant background, referring to him condescendingly as a "boy". The
locksmith gave me more substantive details than simple ad hominem attacks.

This is not the same thing as working very hard in solidarity. Anyone who
has put out a journal or worked with a publishing collective knows that
"self-exploitation" is tolerable, as long as there isn't a boss, tasks are
decided on collectively, and no one manipulates people with wages.
that people give more of themselves. He routinely withheld and stalled on
wages of my comrades at the newspaper. I recall an incident where the
editor at the time, Stéphane Gagné, complained that he hadn't been paid in
many weeks and that he had a companion and baby to support. Roussopoulos
responded that others work at the paper on a volunteer basis and receive no
salary at all! What insolence, I thought at the time. I told Roussopoulos
that these have never been the terms under which Stéphane worked, why try
to play on some sort of activist sentiment.
(government-paid "work-experience" programme) jointly administered by
Roussopoulos' company SODECM and the welfare department. Under the law, one
must be paid every two weeks. Roussopoulos wanted to only pay me every
month, claiming that the finance committee met once a month. There was an
incident around my second pay cheque, delayed a few days, and Roussopoulos
sent a fax to the office, saying "I believe you have already received one
cheque from SODECM. Prepare a document which explains what period of time
this cheque covered, that is from when you think you began with this
programme."
me, since I was extremely busy with the paper's restructuring, and the last
thing I wanted to spend energy on was getting my salary. Essentially,
Roussopoulos wanted me to send him an invoice, and justify my pay cheques.
I was supposed to receive a regular wage, paid by the government to SODECM,
then SODECM pays me. Roussopoulos has been in business long enough to know
the difference between a salary and invoiced work. Nor did he have the
"excuse" that he didn't have the money to pay me. The problem was quickly
resolved when I stormed out of the newspaper office, went over to his house
and angrily shouted at him, demanding my salary. I was paid the following
day. Most people know me as good-natured and calm, Roussopoulos took this
to mean he could try and walk all over me. This is what I mean when I
describe him as exploitative.
that were fucked around for their wages. When I recount these sorts of
things, it makes me angry. And if persons reading this are unable or
unwilling to see how these things are part of Roussopoulos' exploitative
practices, then I'm certainly writing in vain. I also don't accept the
separation of the personal from the political. I'm denouncing these
practices because I believe that intelligent activists with a developed
conscience will not dismiss this as simply being "personal hostility"
towards Roussopoulos; this just begs the question.
Roussopoulos' accepting 5000$ from the immigration minister, Lucienne
Robillard? This comes into conflict with the newspaper's freedom to
criticize the elections. The same with trying to cultivate the then
minister of public security. How could a so-called radical project retain
it's integrity, presenting a frank and libertarian analysis of policing,
and also seek to accept money from the minister responsible for the
police?!
Similarly petit-bourgeois are his public (neighbourhood councils, articles,
talks) clean-freak statements about how the streets in his neighbourhood
are so dirty. What doesn't he like, the tags and graffiti? The
pan-handlers? Along the same vein, the McGill Daily wrote a favourable
election profile, (Oct. 26, 1994) saying he's "taken an active interest in
the McGill Ghetto Safety Project" and has been "pressuring the police for
foot patrols." An anarchist lobbying the cops for police foot patrols??
Imagine if he got elected...

they did know about are all the conflicts surrounding this
anarchist-poseur, and they knew that he was going to be speaking to
radicals (ISE students) from out of town. Even if this meeting with
Roussopoulos was supposed to not be open to other anarchist activists, word
got around. Anti-authoritarians don't take well to conflict suppression, as
we know. The format pissed off a few people, and others were guessing that
Roussopoulos would be promoting his preposterous ideas about the MCM being
anarchist-leaning.
There can be no dialogue with them, no critical but constructive
engagement. So people combine the non-dialogue with denunciation and
corrosive humour and drama. For those who've seen the pieing reports of the
Biotic Baking Brigade (California), they take their humour very seriously.

statements like "there are people who have disagreements with everything
that I've done... they are Bookchin-haters... ...they consider me his
disciple, and I'm honoured to be considered his disciple. ...if that's the
worse thing that could be charged against me, I wear it proudly." "of
course they'll dress it up in ideological things, you know, that I'm a
reformist, that I'm a sell-out... ...I dunno, you know, all these kinds of
things..." "Probably at the bottom of all this, is that this handful of
people do not like individuals ...who actually are effective." "I am a
builder." "There is a lot of disagreement about how you do things and so on
and so forth." (these quotes are from his talk to ISE students July 10 99)

directions..."
"they write articles about me in the mass-media, ...full of lies!"
Roussopoulos is an unknown to most Montrealers, like most left-wingers and
anarchists. And what are these lies? I for one would like to know. Why
can't this sphinx be more revealing? Are polemics too dangerous, perhaps?

practices?

electoral aspects of Libertarian Municipalism? You have no reason to
believe that I'm not an activist.

practices are at issue. I'll make my bias clear: "anti-authoritarian
politics", and by this I mean revolutionary and anarchist politics, ceases
to be so when it involves political parties and electing representative
councilors. Elections are a process that reinforce the disempowerment of
ordinary people. Also, municipalist activity within a statist regime
doesn't exclude work at the state-level, which is by definition a
non-participatory forum.
about Roussopoulos' activities and practices; they should speak to people
in Montreal that work with radical projects that will have no truck with
him: the Rebeles publishing project, the people around Démanarchie, the
Alternative Bookshop, the Anarchist Black Cross, Food Not Bombs, Citizens
Opposed to Police Brutality, the Committee of the Unemployed, the CANEVAS
(CD actions), Criminal Injustice, the Mumia people, the folks doing
activist radio stuff, not to mention all the burned out activists that left
projects Roussopoulos perverted, the people in the co-ops, as well as
activists at Le Monde a Bicyclette, the urban biking advocacy group. The
masks, and hopefully the blinkers, are falling.

Rurales
Sin Tierra.
El Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra (MST), movimiento en
el cual se organizan aproximadamente 20 mil personas, entre familias
asentadas y en campamentos, denuncia pœblicamente:
El gobierno de Almir Gabriel prepara una verdadera operación de guerra para
combatir a los trabajadores rurales en todo el interior de Pará (estado del
norte de Brasil). La medida anunciada por su Secretario de "Defensa Social"
apunta hacia la defensa de los latifundistas que se apropiaron de forma
ileg’tima de tierras publicas del estado.
Entre las familias beneficiadas por las medidas de guerra del gobierno,
está la famosa familia Mutran, conocida nacional e internacionalmente como
violadora de derechos humanos, ligados a asesinatos de trabajadores, la
práctica del trabajo esclavo, además del asesinato reciente del Fiscal de
Receita Estadual, abatido a tiros por el entonces diputado estatal Vavà
Mutran. Los Mutran, son la expresión más cruel y deshumana de la forma como
los "señores de la tierra" trataban y tratan a los pobres del campo.
Después de la reciente ocupación de la Hacienda Cabaceira por cerca de 800
familias sin tierra, fueron descubiertos cementerios clandestinos donde
hasta osamentes de niños fueron encontradas. Como forma de ocultar el caso,
sin que hubiese investigación, o se hiciera un estudio cient’fico de las
osamentas, que deben llegar a más de 30, la Polic’a Civil del Estado dió
por cerrado el caso, y la justicia y el gobierno del estado dieron la
preliminar de desalojo contra los sin tierra.
Á A pocos d’as del inicio del juicio de la Masacre de Eldorado dos Carajás,
el gobierno del estado, ahora con un batallón de 500 hombres abastecidos de
armas qu’micas, armas letales, perros y equipamientos de guerra, preparan
una nueva embestida contra hombres, mujeres y niños para, a cualquier
costo, defender la "propiedad" de los viejos coroneles de la tierra !
En un estado que tiene una extensión territorial equivalente a varios
pa’ses de Europa, el gobierno comanda acciones de guerra contra aquellos
que quieren tierra para el trabajo. Dice el Secretario: "No se puede hacer
reforma agraria en Mosqueiro"; pero tampoco se puede hacer en Marabá, ni en
Tucuru’, ni en Parauapebas, ni en Sao Domingo, ni en Xinguara... Entonces,
Àdónde hacerla?
No hacer Reforma Agraria... esa es la decisión de los gobiernos del estado
y Federal. Aqu’, en nuestro estado, es comœn que el dueño de la CR Almeida,
contratista, posea 7 millones de hectáreas de tierra -mayor que Suiza-,
pero es un crimen que un pobre posea un pedacito de tierra para trabajar,
alimentarse y alimentar a la nación.
Lo que el Secretario de Seguridad quiere decir, es que para los ricos todo;
para los pobres, la tortura, la paliza, la bala y la sepultura... esa es la
tierra que nos toca en este latifundio.
Nosotros, del MST, venimos en nombre de cualquier conciencia moral, a pedir
a la sociedad un repudio a este estado de cosas, y la dimisión inmediata
del Secretario de Seguridad Pœblica, Paulo Sete Cámara, quien siendo un
fascista estimula el prejuicio de la sociedad contra los pobres del campo,
porque de ese modo se facilita la tarea del estado de liquidar f’sica y
moralmente a los sem terras.
Por nuestro lado, prometemos que resistiremos. Si acontece la violencia de
los desalojos, juramos por nuestra dignidad de brasileños, herederos de los
esclavos y de su lucha por la libertad, que reocuparemos las haciendas. Que
haremos marchas, actos pœblicos. Que seguiremos a Belém (capital del
estado), que nos transformaremos en 10, 100, millares, y prometemos un
levantamiento de los pobres del campo para poder denunciar la tiran’a de
aquellos que no respetan a nuestro pueblo y a su pasado cabano.
Al gobierno queda gastar más dinero pœblico para equipar a su polic’a
contra el pueblo, en vez de invertir recursos en educación, salud y
agricultura.
A nosotros, trabajadores rurales, toca la tarea de resistir y mostrar a
todos los hermanos de la ciudad que es en la tierra que está nuestro
pasado. Fue en ella que vivieron nuestros abuelos, de donde vinieron
nuestros padres, y de la que vienen el frijol y el arroz que los Mutran no
saben plantar, y en la que garantizaremos nuestro futuro.
Quien declara la guerra contra los trabajadores rurales, declara la guerra
contra nuestro pueblo.
