China Made

Remember a few years back when the news (even mainstream media) reported on hazardous materials that were found in toys that were made in China which had to be recalled?

When items are imported to America they are usually shipped by sea in these huge metal containers by the ton & because we produce so little over here we take in a lot of product. And some of these countries have questionable safety practices/regulations & as a result of this everything in your home risks being contaminated. And of course you would think that once its shipped over here that we would inspect the items ourselves with a fine toothed comb, but we dont. If I'm correct I believe they check less the 10% of each container and if it "looks" good its put on the shelves of your favorite discount store.  These items include but are not limited to: vehicle parts, cell phones, fruits, vegetables,  fish, clothes,  mannequins, furniture, your child's toys etcetera

Why is this important to you? If you love shopping at Wal-Mart because of their insane deals, be aware that almost everything in Wal-Mart was mass produced with little to no regulation in China. China has been known for its unfair treatment of its factory workers & less then stellar factory conditions that have little to no regulation because China is paid the big bucks by huge companies to mass produce items by any means.

Please think about this the next time you visit Wal-Mart, that sale item you buy could be your last or your child's.

*There are rumblings in the news that soon we'll even be receiving a large portion of chicken from China as well as pork in the not so distant future.*

Irom Sharmila Chanu, also known as the ‘Iron Lady of Manipur’ is a civil rights activist, political activist and poet from the Indian state of Manipur. On 2 November 2000, she began a hunger strike which is still ongoing. Having refused food and water for more than 500 weeks, she undergoes the world’s longest hunger striker. She is currently on trial for attempted suicide.

On 2 November 2000, in Malom, a town in the Imphal Valley of Manipur, ten civilians were shot and killed while waiting at a bus stop. The incident, known as the ‘Malom Massacre’, was allegedly committed by the Assam Rifles, one of the Indian Paramilitary forces operating in the state. The victims included Leisangbam Ibetomi, a 62-year old woman, and 18-year old Sinam Chandramani, a 1988 National Child Bravery Award winner.

Sharmila, who was 28 at the time, began to fast in protest of the killings, taking neither food nor water. She has been regularly released and re-arrested every year since her hunger strike began under IPC Section 309. The law declares that a person who ‘attempts to commit suicide shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year (or with fine, or with both)’.

Her primary demand to the Indian government is the complete repeal of the AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act) - a law with just six sections granting special powers to the armed forces in what the act terms as ‘disturbed areas’. The Act has been at the heart of concerns about human rights violations in the regions of its enforcement (mostly in the North East parts of India including Manipur), where arbitrary killings, torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and enforced disappearances have happened.
