start a war with Ecuador and Venezuela. The Bushites are hungry for any excuse to get a hot war going there, to undermine, destabilize and overthrow Ecuador's and Venezuela's democratically elected leftist governments, and install rightwing toadies, like they have in Colombia. Bush's tool, Alvaro Uribe (former Medellin Cartel), in Colombia, is closely tied to rightwing paramilitaries. They do nothing without his and the Colombian military's (and the Bushites') okay. This is a U.S./Colombian government action, to drain Ecuador's resources into military protection of its borders, and reduce the leftist government's ability to fund social justice programs, and to plan other national and regional improvements. And it is a deliberate provocation--like the bombing of the FARC's hostage negotiator's camp this March, just inside Ecuador's border (using U.S. high tech surveillance, U.S. "smart bombs" and possibly U.S. aircraft and personnel). Ecuador has rejected the Bush/U.S. "war on drugs" and wants the U.S. airbase at Manta, Ecuador, gone--when its lease expires next year. If the Bushites cannot impose militarization and nazification of this society, with the "war on drugs," then they seek to impose militarization in a different way--by forcing Ecuador to pay for more military protection of its borders. A war of attrition. This is what
our tax money is being used for--$5.5 BILLION of it to Colombia in military aid--to provoke war, to destroy democracy, to prevent social justice. It is appalling.
Those men who were kidnapped are more than likely, right now, being tortured, or killed--with
our money, and possibly with U.S. government personnel (or Blackwater) involvement. There is no justice in Colombia. Thousands of innocent people are arrested, tortured and killed, with no trial, no possibility of defense, and no recourse in the government, which commits these crimes with impunity. We may never know until years later--if ever--that they weren't even armed, that they had nothing to do with armed leftist guerrillas, that they were peasant farmers, meeting to form a union to fight against U.S. pesticide spraying in the border areas, or planned corporate biofuel production (ruinous to food farmers). And even if they
were leftist guerrillas, what right does Colombia have to INVADE Ecuador's border to kidnap them? And what kind of trial will they have, in which the accusations against them are proven "beyond a reasonable doubt"? No trial, is what they will have. Just like the detainees and the tortured at Guantanamo Bay. Colombia is a little Bushville--a haven of fascism and horror. And they are determined to harry Ecuador's and Venezuela's borders, and engage them in a war if they can, so the 4th Fleet can enter the fray, to take "swift action" by the U.S. in support of "friends and allies" in South America (fascist murderers and drug traffickers in Colombia), as Donald Rumsfeld urges in an op-ed in the Washington Post, seven months ago.*
This is, in fact, Uribe's job. He was the go-to guy for the Medellin Cartel, in his early career. Now he's the go-to guy for the Bush Cartel--doing their bidding, to stir up trouble in South America, that they can exploit to grab the oil (among other things). He was elected by thuggery--bullying, intimidation, murder. He is the mirror of his masters.
