MIA Work History:
During Summer of 2001 became co-director of the Lenin Internet Archives having read all 45 volumes of Lenin Collected Works from 1995 to 1997.
Resigned from the MIA in November 2005 having almost single-handedly, transcribed almost the entire 45 volumes of the Lenin Collected Works. Robert then moved on to other things in life.
The photo seen above was taken in front of a garage door on Balmy Street in San Francisco's Mission District. The young boy is writing "resistence" ("RESISTE") as his village is burning, a young woman sits on boxes marked for EXPORT holding an empty plate, and a group of adults use guns to fight the country's U.S.-backed military. Another group of adults hold B&W pictures of their "disappeared" family members, as a man dumps grain or corn onto the ground that was bound for a so-called "rich" country where obesity is epidemic and the poor continue to starve.
