Water: Stolen At Gunpoint

Salvadorian Police Fire on Anti-Water Privatization Protest

In El Salvador, government forces are being accused of a crackdown on a protest against privatizing water. On Monday, Salvadorian police opened fire and shot tear gas at a rally organized by the the Association of Rural Communities for the Development of El Salvador, or CRIPDES. Thirteen people were arrested including four CRIPDES leaders.

Not covered adequately here is the worldwide problem of corporations moving to take control of drinking water. What a racket, first they poison the waters, then they demand control of those poisoned waters before they will let people have only partially-poisoned drinking water.

And now in El Salvador, they have enlisted their hired stooges, er, the "El Salvador government" to shoot those who get in the way of this effort to reduce human beings to mere generators of corporate profit.
