I don't know why I did the association but when I started reading about the Charter Towns it came to my mind the projected Gambling City named Eurovegas that Sheldon Adelson is gonna build near Madrid. Adelson is a magnate, chief and executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corparation and a great contributor to the Romney's campaign. He owns the Sands Hotel and Casino complex in las Vegas and gambling complexes in Macau and Singapore, among others. It seems that his possesions in Asia have their own legal system, or at least the legislation is adapted to the particular necessities of the complexes. Unions are forbidden in Adelson's enterprises.
As for Garifonas it's a curious coincidence, last weekend I watched in TV something about them. They live in the Caribbean coast, around the city of Livingstone and in small communities scattered in the environs and nearby islands. Most of them are poor and many live on fishing. But there weren't mentions to this project. It seems that they are settled in the area since 1804, years before of the Central American independency. Reading the articles linked above is fascinating but, above all, is terrifying. Well, the people in Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador is well served of abuses and frightening experiences.
The only thing that I find a bit amusing is the fact that the Central America Libertarian movement has a Guevara. A certain Otto placed third in the 2010 Costa Rica Presidential but, who play the roles of Castro and El Che in this revolution?
