Manufactured Division and Gang Conflict

tomas April 6th, 2007

By Tekolote

In the influential and time-honored book The Art of War, Sun Tzu instructs that one of the most effective methods used to defeat an enemy is to �cause division among them.� The book further instructs, �Seduce them with the prospects of gain, send interlopers in among them, have rhetoricians use fast talk to ingratiate themselves with their leaders and followers, and divide up their organization and power.� It is when the enemy is divided that it is at its weakest and susceptible to attack and defeat.

Ensuing the Second World War, Europe was left in economic and geographic devastation. As a result, the United States became the world�s dominant super power and set forth to gain control of the world�s economies through military power and neo-liberal arrangements. Competing ideologies, such as communism and socialism, was seen as a threat to American interest. Yet, while American corporations prospered, third-world countries were ravaged by rampant capitalism and years of Western colonial rule. In the United States, the working class, especially blacks and Latinos, became unemployed and marginalized due to shifting economies and institutional racism.

Bike Church in Wats�n

ozelotl April 5th, 2007

bike The Watsonville Brown Berets have teamed up with the Bike Church from Santa Cruz and have committed to offer Watsonville folks some free and reduced bicycles, as well as free bike repair services. The project will be conducted every Friday (starting April 13th) outside the Brown Beret Headquarters (406 Main St., Suite 408A — behind Ritmo Latino) and is open to volunteers and participants.

We have decided that the strong presence of bicycles in the community would be essential in a community with a large number of undocumented workers who cannot legally obtain a driver’s license, as well as for all the homies who can’t afford an expensive car and would rather sport a beach cruiser. Bike Church is for la comunidad by la comunidad. Take advantage!

Youth Brigade

ozelotl March 6th, 2007

The Watsonville Brown Beret Youth Brigade is a campaign to establish a solid youth contingency in Watsonville who will eventually become the future leaders in our local movement. By creating an alternative, we are inducing the homies and the chavalit@s to educate and politicize their mind. It is up to us to empower the youth of our barrios and to instill pride of their culture, heritage, people, and community. It is through these means that we will see a much needed change in our comunidades.
The Youth Brigade Power Sessions will take place every Thursday from 4pm-6pm at the Brown Beret Headquarters, in Watsonville. It is open to any person interested in learning about revolutionary history, cultura, race, gender, politics, revolutionary hip-hop, the history of California gangs, Mexicayotl, spirituality, black and brown power, Chicanism@, and other global movements.
The system doesn’t work for you! Realize it and mobilize. JOIN THE BROWN BERETS through the YOUTH BRIGADE!
