Kenneth T. Tellis: The United States of America just never gives up, because it doesn’t realize its abject futility?

VHeadline commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: The U.S. just never gives up, because it doesn’t realize its abject futility? First we have Peruvian President Alan Garcia accuse Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela of trying to undermine his government by aiding poor Peruvians that cannot obtain any help from their own government.

How does Alan Garcia begin, why of course by a campaign of exaggeration, to create the impression that Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela carrying out this humanitarian work in Peru to destabilize his country?

• Alan Garcia then goes on to accuse the above countries of infiltrating Peru an aiding the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.

What he forgets to tell the world, is that the Tupac Amaru were a group fighting the get Peru out from under U.S. domination, and help the people of Peru receive a better standard of living. All this was just not possible as long as U.S. puppets like Alberto Fujimori and Alan Garcia were in power, because they never represented the people of Peru, but by U.S. owned corporations that were in control of Peru economically.

Thus to them the Tupac Amaru were a threat to their sell-out of their country and their foreign bank accounts, especially in the U.S., but then who can blame these stooges of U.S. imperialism for protecting their own interests?

Then we have one Frank Jack Daniels who writes absolute drivel on Venezuelan President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias being in an economic bind. Daniels then says that Chavez is struggling to regain momentum as inflation, crime and nagging shortages of basic goods is creating problems for the Chavez government.

• Note both above people, Alan Garcia and Frank Jack Daniels are well-schooled in the American policy of destabilizing Venezuela, and both are giving their opinions from a basically influenced viewpoint, which lack total validity.

Thus, who in their right minds would pay much attention to these minions of U.S. imperialism?

Don’t forget that they are trained seals of the U.S. government, and their policy statements emanate directly from the CIA, of that let there be no doubt. Now Frank Jack Daniels can take a hint and get himself a bottle of Jack Daniels Whiskey and use it to mull over his next assignment.

Atta boy Frank, go for it!

But he should really be thinking about writing Fairy Tales because that’s his real forte. Note that both the above persons accept no responsibility in the wider sense. Peruvian President Alan Garcia does not blame himself for the failures of his government polices in Peru, but chooses to lay the blame on Chavez, because he has no other excuse for his own failings.

• Then of course there’s Frank Jack Daniels who writes on Venezuela, and the situation in that country, without having any hands-on experience on Venezuela or the reality of that country.

Which reminds me of a journalist employed by the New York Times some years back, who used his computer extensively in writing stories on the news, when he never even left his residence, or go to the scenes that he was writing about.

It just boggles the mind what can come out of pseudo-journalists.

Now that’s present day journalism for you ... make-up your stories as you go along to earn a good living.
