Zapatista boot-making collective

Someone named Chris Arsenault has published an article [The First of January Boot Co-op] on a co-op in chiapas that produces boots for the local communities and internationally. The article also mentions the memo written by a Chase Manattan Bank analyst in his capacity with the Bank, which stated in part:

While Chiapas, in our opinion, does not pose a fundamental threat to Mexican political stability, it is perceived to be so by many in the investment community. The government will need to eliminate the Zapatistas to demonstrate their effective control of the national territory and of security policy.

The memo is available in full online. The original expose by CounterPunch can be found here.
