Originally published in Spanish by the CCRI-CG of the EZLN ************************************ Translated by irlandesa Communiqué from the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee – General Command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Mexico. June 19, 2005 To the People of Mexico: To the Peoples of the World: Brothers and Sisters: As of today, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation has declared, throughout all rebel territory, a GENERAL RED ALERT Based on this, we are informing you: First - That at this time the closure is being carried out of the Caracoles and the Good Government Offices which are located in the zapatista communities of Oventik, La Realidad, Morelia and Roberto Barrios, as well as all the headquarters of the authorities of the different Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities. Second - That also being carried out is the evacuation of the members of the different Good Government Juntas and the autonomous authorities, in order to place them in shelter. Now, and for an indefinite time period, they will be carrying out their work in a clandestine and nomadic manner. Both the projects as well as the autonomous government will continue functioning, although under different circumstances than they have been up until now. Third - That basic community health services will continue functioning in the different Caracoles. Civilians will be in charge of these services, and the CCRI-CG of the EZLN is distancing them from any of our future actions, and we are demanding that they be treated as civilians and with respect for their life, liberty and goods by government forces. Fourth - That there has been a call-up of all members of our EZLN who have been engaged in social work in the zapatista communities and those of our regular troops who have been in their barracks. In a similar fashion, all broadcasts by Radio Insurgente, “The Voice of Those Without Voice”, in FM and in short wave, have been suspended for an indefinite period of time. Fifth - That, simultaneous with the publication of this communiqué, national and international civil societies who are working in peace camps and in community projects are being urged to leave rebel territory. Or, if they decide freely of their own volition, they remain on their own and at their own risk, gathered in the caracoles. In the case of minors, their departure is obligatory. Sixth - That the EZLN announces the closing of the Zapatista Information Centre (CIZ), not without first thanking the civil societies who have participated in it, from the time of its creation until today. The CCRI-CG of the EZLN formally releases these persons from any responsibility for the future actions of the EZLN. Seventh - That the EZLN releases from responsibility for any of our future actions all persons and civil, political, cultural, citizens and non-governmental organizations, solidarity committees and support groups who have been close to us since 1994. We thank all of those who have, sincerely and honestly, throughout these almost 12 years, supported the civil and peaceful struggle of the zapatista indigenous for the constitutional recognition of indigenous rights and culture. Democracy! Liberty! Justice! From the Mountains of the Mexican Southeast. By the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee – General Command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos Mexico, in the sixth month of the year 2005.

Greetings from Germany. You could be sure, that you are in our hearts and mind. At the moment the radical left is discussing how we can help you. On www.de.indymedia.org information about solidarity actions will be published.

solo quise agradecerles por subir tan pronto la traducción al inglés del comunicado de la "alerta roja" y tambien agregarle una pequeña corrección. en la traducción al inglés, no aparece La Garrucha en la lista de caracoles que se estan cerrando. gracias, mónica

just wanted to add that the caracol La Garrucha is also being closed by the EZLN (it's missing from the translated list above). thanks, monica

Hi. Best wishes for a peaceful tomorrow. Anyway, I just read the story and want to forward it on to some North American friends who are sympathetic to (really "inspired by") the Zapatista movement. I'm sure some will want to write a letter to Mexican "authorities" to let them know that the world is watching.... Who should they send an email to? Please post some addresesses here, I will tell them to come here for details. Mis amigos y yo queremos unas adresesas para los autoridades en Mexico a quienes pudemos escribir... Lo siento que no hablo bueno espanol. Buena suerte. In solidarity, Sasha

Disculpen, pero yo no entiendo de ninguna manera el porque uds. estan haciendo esto. Yo me considero mas o menos enterada de lo que esta pasando con diferentes movimientos y causas. Soy mexicana. entiendo en general la lucha pero lo que uds. estan haciendo y porque no lo se. No encuentro rason y lo que esperan de sus acciones. Y si yo no entiendo, les seguro que el resto de la gente save y entiende menos, y menos los va apoyar. Suerta!

Long live the revolution! The exciting newz didnt make it here on the local networks, no wonder why. I will try my part spreading the newz. Hope there is peace and justice out there in the future. Keep fighting! You all make us proud! Kykeon Athens, Greece

A ziggurat was discovered at Erech, a place in Nimrod’s kingdom going back to about 3,000 B.C. . Nimrod formed his kingdom by force. This kingdom originally consisted of Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar, ancient Babylon, in Iraq, about 50 miles south of Baghdad on the Euphrates river, is second in importance only to Jerusalem in uniting a one-world church governed and controlled by Rome. the name “Christianity” was given to the pagan Babylonian religion with but few necessary changes professing love, but breaking out in all the acts of hatred.
