It's day five in the blockade of the Panamerican highway by the Ngöbe people in protest against mining on their lands, and the Martinelli government is ready for the psych ward as it continues to contradict itself on just about everything.

Multinational Monsanto says it's "donating" seeds, but it's really a marketing ploy to get Haiti as a long term client. Farmers announced they'll burn the seeds.
Insulza got reelected as head of the OAS, just as Bananama Republic told you he would and despite of crazy conspiracies by the extreme right.
