In
the Sea of Reaction of the South Pacific, there is an island.
On that island is a beacon, a beacon of hope reason and rationality.
That beacon is Aziz Choudry.
Comrade Choudry's writings on GATT/WTO,
APEC, the MAI, colonization and the rights of Indigenous Peoples'
to self-determination, New Zealand's neo-liberal reforms, workers'
rights, multilateral financial institutions, the politics of aid
and "development", bio-piracy, the anti-globalization
movement, the post-Cold War role of security and intelligence agencies
in monitoring and suppressing dissent, and so on, and so forth have
already earned him praise in the real world.
And our photographs show him to
be capable of living both an active and a contemplative life.
The Turtle is proud to serve as
the vehicle for some of his fine, fine Prose, and is proud to add
to the heap of his accomplishments the award of Stakhanovite of
the Month, November 2001, for his dedication, his commitment, and
his very fine ajrak -- the Sindhi fashion accessory for all occasions!.
