Killer Coke: Activist Disrupts Coca Cola Shareholders Meeting...the union representing Colombia’s Coca-Cola employees filed suit in a federal court in Florida, alleging Coke contracted with paramilitary death squads to torture, kidnap, and murder union leaders at its bottling plants
-Coca-Cola stopped the practice of distributing its toxic waste only when ordered to do so by the state government.
-Coca-Cola productscontained high levels of pesticides, and as a result, theParliament of India has banned the sale of Coca-Cola in its cafeteria. However, Coca-Cola not only continues to sell drinks laced with poisons in India (that could never be sold in the US and EU), it is also introducing new products in the Indian market. And as if selling drinks with DDT and other pesticides to Indians was not enough, one of Coca-Cola's latest bottling facilities to open in India, in Ballia, is located in an area with asevere contamination of arsenicin its groundwater.
We examine the politics of water -- often referred to as the "last frontier" by corporate executives. The business of bottled water in India has grown very rapidly, and is controlled by a handful of corporations, Coca Coal, Pepsi and Nestle among them. But that's not the end of it. India is now undergoing a rapid transformation in the way services are delivered, and water distribution systems are being privatized. If you can afford it, you get water, otherwise you are out of luck. Mega corporations such as Vivendi and Suez (of the Suez Canal fame) have all entered this busines in India, and we will see some major changes in the near future. But is this a good thing? How can a foreign company "own" the water resources of a country, and sell it to the highest bidder? In an economically poor country like India, this is a sure path to disaster, especially since the gap between the haves and have nots has been steadily increasing in the last decade.

SOA Watch is an independent organization that seeks to close the US Army School of the Americas, under whatever name it is called, through vigils and fasts, demonstrations and nonviolent protest, as well as media and legislative work. ------------ Over its 59 years, the SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins.
