police state

A country where the police watch what you do and try to control your life. Where there's cameras in town centres and on public transport. Where you can be arrested because of something you said to a friend about the leaders of your country. Where police stop and search people for no reason. Where you can be detained without charge or trial. Where the state plants bugs with impunity. Where protesters have to get police permits, and where police regularly attack protesters.

Hang on. That sounds like America and Britain today!

Smash all police states! Down with Patriot Act, ASBOs, CCTV, ID cards, biometrics, no fly lists, Terrorism Act, Gitmo, Belmarsh, Public Order Act, and Nazi bastard politicians and pigs!

lathi-charge

Term used to describe a mode of attack favoured by Indian cops when attacking protesters. Basically the same as a baton-charge, but using long sticks known as lathis. In a lathi-charge, pigs run at a crowd and start randomly beating the nearest people with five-foot-long bamboo rods.

The roadblock lasted for three hours before police used tear gas and lathi-charge to break it up. Protesters later regrouped outside the police headquarters to continue their agitation.

father-encloser

A "politically-correct" alternative to motherfucker, apparently for use to refer to women. The reference is to "enclosing" dick in fanny.

Actually, for a PC term, I think it's actually quite cool. c.f. father-engulfer.

George W Bush is a motherfucker, and Condaleeza Rice is a father-encloser.

Shut up, you stupid cock-sucking father-encloser!

AUC

Terrorist/paramilitary group in Colombia. A far-right group. The acronym is for United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia. The group's only reason for existence is to assassinate left-wing rebels and especially people suspected of sympathising with them or of struggling for social improvement. This group murders thousands of peasants, trade union leaders, human rights activists, liberal and left-wing politicians, etc., every year.

They wear what they call "the mask of the executioner", but apart from that, they are mostly regular Colombian soldiers and are effectively the dirty tricks wing of the Colombian army which covers for the government and its US allies because they can disavow responsibility for AUC atrocities. The current president Uribe is a close ally of AUC and has hired them in the past.

Although AUC are major drug traffickers and closely linked to drug barons, and are also on the US's terrorism watch list, they are indirect beneficiaries of the US intervention in Colombia, which is directed mainly against left-wing rebels.

AUC troops have recently turned up in various incidents in Venezuela, on the side of the reactionary opposition movement.
