More Than 300 Whales Found Dead in South Chile
SANTIAGO – Police in Chile are investigating the shocking discovery of 300 dead whales in the Gulf of Penas, in the extreme south of Chile, by a group of scientists.According to the Diario Aysen portal on Tuesday, the scientists reported the matter to the National Fisheries Service, or Sernapesca, which then passed on the information to attorney Pedro Poblete Viejo, who immediately ordered an inquiry into the causes of the death of the large number of whales.
The whales were found on Nov. 17 by the scientists, but the information was only recently passed on to the Chilean authorities.
In a similar incident in May, nearly 300 dead whales were beached in the same region in Chile.
Jorge Acevedo, an expert on cetaceans at the Cequa Foundation said several types of whales can be found in the Gulf of Penas and Puerto Natales region.
“There are stranding sites where skeleton parts can still be found,” Acevedo said.
Teachers in Mexico Swap Police Hostages for Jailed Comrades
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico – Members of Mexico’s militant CNTE teachers union persuaded authorities to release six comrades arrested earlier in a swap for five police officers captured during a subsequent protest, union officials told EFE.The CNTE has mobilized across Mexico against a new policy of teacher evaluations.
Authorities here in the southern state of Chiapas conducted evaluations this week, spurring major demonstrations in and around Tuxtla Gutierrez, the state capital.
Early Tuesday, more than 3,000 CNTE members and supporters gathered to block an intersection in Ocozocoautla, near Tuxtla Gutierrez.
Before 8 a.m., CNTE member David Gemayel Ruiz Estudillo died in a confrontation between the teachers and security forces, run over by a vehicle in circumstances that remain unclear.
Five other people were injured and six teachers were arrested.
Anger over Gemayel’s death swelled the turnout for a CNTE march on Wednesday in the state capital.
“This event brings us grief, courage and the signal that they want to impose the education reform in Chiapas through blood and fire,” CNTE member Pedro Gomez told EFE. “So the position of the movement will not cease demands that those responsible for this homicide be punished.”
Protesters set out from the east side of Tuxtla carrying a coffin meant to symbolize Gemayel and chanting slogans against the state and federal governments.
En route to the state house, the crowd clashed with a contingent of 350 police and the two sides traded volleys of rocks and tear gas for an hour until the protesters captured one of the cops.
At that point, senior Chiapas officials agreed to meet with CNTE representatives to negotiate a prisoner exchange, but the disturbances continued and four more police officers fell into the hands of the crowd.
The marchers then displayed the hostages, along with the officers’ guns and riot gear, in Tuxtla’s main square to increase the pressure on authorities.
Within hours, the state Attorney General’s Office approved the release of the jailed teachers in exchange for the five police.
State officials said that despite the protests, more than 73 percent of the Chiapas teachers subject to the evaluations took part in the tests.
The teacher evaluations are part of a sweeping education overhaul enacted in 2013 by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto over the strenuous opposition of the CNTE and grassroots organizations.
Many teachers say the education “reform” seeks to make them scapegoats for the failings of Mexico’s chronically underfunded schools.
Sweden News - Singer in rap video raped and killed....
Elin Krantz, once a beautiful blond woman, young and full of life, is now dead in the ground and six months decomposed.
Supposedly, she was a member of the "We Like Diversity" Facebook page, called herself "multicultural" and a supporter of Third-world immigration into Sweden, the country of her birth. Maybe in those last few moments of life, she changed her mind about a few things, as if it made any difference. On that day, Elin and her african immigrant killer were riding the same tram to the Hisingen neighbourhood in Sweden.
Shortly thereafter Krantz was found raped and murdered in a wooded area not far from the tram stop. Her 23-year-old African "refugee" (who supposedly once lived in the US) killer was arrested shortly after the killing. He was charged with murder and aggravated rape. According to the prosecutors, the attack was one of "extreme ruthlessness".
