Columbian Trade Deal? Drugs, Oil and Weapons Hooray!

[radhika]

I have grave suspicions about the dust-up about Mark Penn, Billary and the Columbian Government. Even though I'm anti-NAFTA and against free trade, my suspicions are not about jobs, prices and unions. Its about imperialism and false flag USA operations in pursuit of oil.

The US is already knee-deep in military arms trade with Columbia; we have tons of CIA and listening posts and use them to keep eyes and troops on Columbia's oil rich neighbor Venezuela, famously anti-American. Many Columbian troops are recruited by Blackwater. We already are using Columbia's world position as leader of the cocaine trade to launder US funds and profits to fund our dark ops. A trade deal gets us in even closer and with fewer customs impediments.

Reminds me of how on the other side of the world we now basically control and launder funds/arms through the leading opium poppy nation of Afghanistan. After a dramatic 911 event which has never been fully explained, has it? Afghanistan just happens to be next door to another oil rich neighbor called Iran, famously anti-American. We went beyond a trade deal there, and just plain annihilated the anti-poppy Taliban and continue to occupy the land under the flag of NATO.

But then, I'm just a cynical and anti-authoritarian agitator, so please feel free to ignore me:)

1. This is not about Columbia

And it's not about South Korea or Panama. It's about 'free' trade agreements and what they mean to the majority of Americans.

2. Gee - and thanks to Bill Clinton, all that hard work a few Dems did to uncover and expose IranContra

the illegal wars in Central America, Iraqgate, BCCI and CIA drugrunning operations for YEARS went unresolved and all the outstanding matters left unpursued because Clintons said we must 'move on' and not look back.

Does anyone really think Poppy Bush woke up one day in Jan 1993 and decided to STOP running drugs, smuggling arms, and proliferating nuclear material and secrets just because he was no longer physically IN the WH?

Bill was handed the BCCI report when he took office, with all its many, serious outstanding matters, and yet Bill mentions not one word about BCCI in his entire book, though some of its principals were involved closely with Bill throughout his career in Arkansas and some of those matters of Poppy Bush's illegal operations also ended up flying jets into buildings in 2001.

But Bill decided American citizens didn't deserve to hear anything about it - he proved in his book that he believes Democrats are as stupid as Bushies believe Republicans.
