Reply #69: And why do you think that Chavez and Correa and their allies are NOT

[Peace Patriot]

treating this BOMBING of Ecuador, invasion of troops onto Ecuadoran soil--guided by U.S. surveillance--and slaughter of the FARC hostage negotiator like that?

Because they know who's behind it, that's why--and what the intentions of those puppetmasters are.

This is not a mere border incident, that can be sloughed off between friendly countries. This is the opening shot of Oil War II. All the signs are there. Wake up, for chrissakes! But you have to have been following this situation over the last several years--though all the border incidents, through U.S. "war on drugs" pesticide spraying of border peasants' farms, through the rightwing paramilitary killings, through all the many attempts of the Bush Junta to topple the Chavez government, because of its leadership on social justice and regional self-determination--including the recent one, hatched within the Colombian military, among Uribe connections, to assassinate Chavez (--and that Uribe had to apologize for). All the covert ops. All the lies and disinformation about Chavez AND about other social justice leaders like Cristina Fernandez of Argentina; the Bush-supported rightwing separatists in Bolivia, who want to destabilize Evo Morales' government, by splitting off the gas/oil rich provinces.

Do you have any idea what the Bush Junta has been DOING with USAID-NED money, and other money--OUR money--in South America? Funding rightwing minority political groups--people who have tried coups and every illegal and underhanded means to regain power; funding their rightwing militias and paramilitary who beat up on leftists; funding plots against these DEMOCRACIES, funding fascists and 'brownshirt' rioters and killers--in a relentless campaign, with one object--to destroy democracy and social justice in South America, and regain global corporate predator control of its resources, and access to cheap, poor slave labor.

The Bolivarian countries in the Andes region have cost the World Bank loan sharks billions and billions of unearned dollars, that they were stealing from the poor! They have rejected U.S.-dominated "free trade." They have rejected the corrupt, murderous U.S. "war on drugs"--resulting in billions more dollars not going into the pockets of the rich! And the capper, of course, is that these very same countries sit on the biggest oil reserves in the western hemisphere--also gas, water, forests and other resources. And, by God, the people of these countries have established REAL democracies, with government leaders who serve the interests of the people, and the country in general, and the prosperity, welfare and AUTONOMY of the region.

The Bush Cartel's client state invading Ecuador, and killing off hopes for peace that these other leaders so fervently desired, and took great personal risks to achieve, is not a mere border incident. They all know it--if you don't. They know what they have been up against--with billions of U.S. tax dollars being used to arm this fascist dinosaur, Colombia, where thousands of union leaders and other innocent people have been murdered--and being used to plot against THEM, against democratic leaders.

This is a very grave situation--not because Colombia violated Ecuador's border, but because of WHO Colombia IS, WHO is funding them and arming them to the teeth, and WHO is pulling the Colombian government's strings.

Wake up! Get informed! Cuz YOU'RE paying for Oil War II, and it is coming right into the middle of the U.S. presidential election, like a live hand grenade tossed into the lap of the Democrats.

On Dec 1, 2007, Donald Rumsfeld, writing his "Project for a New North American Century in South America" in the Washington Post, among other things, urges "swift" U.S. action in support of "friends and allies" in South America. The Bush Junta doesn't have any "friends and allies" in South America, except the fascist thugs running Colombia, and the fascist thugs within Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina, planning coups in cahoots with the Bushite embassies and the Bush/CIA. Whatever does he mean? "Swift action"--in support of WHAT?

It's coming. I'm telling you. We are going to be in the middle of an oil war in South America, on the wrong side--on the losing side--before the end of the year. These countries are NOT going to tolerate further U.S. aggression. And I'm talking of the following leftist (majorityist) governments, covering nearly the entire continent: Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina and Nicaragua. Peru may waffle (led by a corrupt "free tradist"--but even he condemned Colombia's incursion).

Rafael Correa has pledged to throw the U.S. military base out of Manta, Ecuador, when its lease runs out in 2008. And you know what he said to the press in Miami, when they asked him about this? He said that he would agree to U.S. boots on the ground in Ecuador when the U.S. permits Ecuador to put a military base in Miami."

He's a funny guy, Correa. But he was quite serious. The South Americans have HAD IT with U.S. interference. (And that same U.S. spy base in Manta was probably the one used to guide Colombia onto Ecuadoran territory, to kill hostage negotiator Reyes and his group.) THAT is the attitude throughout South America.

Rumsfeld won't win--can't win--this war. But when has that ever stopped him or his Bushite pals from creating hell on earth for other people, and taking what greedy advantage of it that they can--in war profiteering or seized resources?

That is what they intend. They've been planning for it, and working towards it, for a long time. Their plan is now in motion. And it is up to the leaders of South America to find a way to disable this plan. Uribe and Colombia are very isolated--for all their armaments and U.S. backup (including Blackwater, by the way--active in Colombia). There are millions of Colombian refugees in Venezuela, fled over the border over the last half decade, to escape the civil war, and mostly the Colombian security forces and paramilitary death squads. Most are poor peasants. It will be tough to achieve a political solution, in the circumstances that Rumsfeld & co. have created. But those refugees will have to be part of it. They are poor and landless. I think Uribe will be pressured to resign, and some mild caretaker kind of government put in his place. But the biggest problem is the well-funded and truly bloodthirsty and vengeful Colombian military and associated paramilitaries and fascist political elite. They are very corrupt. They are involved in the drug trade. And they have been used to rule by the sword. It's going to take some awesome leadership to pull off a negotiated peace without more bloodshed. I think these new leftist leaders are up to the task. I've been studying each of them, as they arose and were elected. I think they have great strength, both individually and collectively.

When you think what some of them have endured--what horror and oppression they have in living memory--some of them tortured, beaten, kidnapped, jailed, threatened--including personal experience in the cases of the leaders of Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and others--and how they have triumphed over it, and are now the heads of this social justice revolution--I think they can achieve peace. I think it is their strongest collective desire and value. Peaceful, lawful, orderly, democratic change. No more death squads. No more fascist coups. No more bloody U.S. interference.
