A Fighting Chance

We recently read about some righteous sustainable community development in the Fourth World that is helping to strengthen the tribes involved through access to education, economic adaptation, communications, and technological training. It is good to see this happening.

At the same time, we--and they--are all too aware of the threats to their success: multinational corporations, paramilitaries, missionaries, and so on. Still, with the enhanced ability for them to self-organize a united front, they now have a fighting chance.

Meanwhile, the overt war of ideas and the covert war of intelligence and counterintelligence goes on.
