But first a little background: In and around the years 1998 and 1999, the USA, in principal partnership with Colombia, began something called Plan Colombia and has since injected somewhere in the vicinity of 5 billion dollars. The "plan" is supposedly aimed at eradicating coca crops (the natural source cocaine) in the northern South American Andes (mostly in Colombia) by spraying poisons over inhabited lands ... all in a supposed effort to stop cocaine reaching the USA.
Colombia is the main supplier of cocaine to the USA and the USA is the largest consumer of cocaine in the world.
- However, many people, including myself, are highly suspicious of the USA's intentions.
Secondly, and again coincidentally, Plan Colombia includes the hiring of US military/police assets (training, etc.) and US military aid to Colombia in the US-invented "war against drugs" ... (sound familiar?).
Many of us see Plan Colombia as a typical US ruse, as a "legitimate" excuse for the criminal USA to create a military presence along the Venezuela/Colombia borders ... after Chavez was elected, for Chavez will not bow to US demands ... and neither will the majority of Venezuelans.
I mean, coke was a big problem in the USA a long time prior to Chavez having come to power ... but Chavez now became a new "problem" to the USA and its traitors and traitors inside Venezuela and within the Colombian government.
The Colombian government is closely linked to the AUC, the right-wing Colombian paramilitary forces (mercenaries) who "protect" some the largest ranches and rural economic interests in Colombia, owned mostly by the Colombian elite, who also control the Colombian government.
- The AUC was apparently, and again coincidentally created in 1997 ... just as Chavez was gaining popularity prior to his being elected in 1998.
Chavez is supported by the majority, the poorer and traditionally exploited, darker-skinned Venezuelans ... whilst the Venezuelan opposition is mostly supported by the minority exploitive mid-to-upper classes, mostly whiter-skinned.
The way we and many others see it ... and by "we," I mean, persons such as myself and the majority of Venezuelans who support Chavez ... Plan Colombia was and still is a subversive plan by the USA to infiltrate this Andean region militarily and set up military operations to attack any country which does not comply with US orders (generally, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Bolivia).
Furthermore, Plan Colombia has done nothing to curb cocaine exports to the drug-addicted people of the USA.
- This means that Colombia, a US sub-directorate of the USA, is now surrounded by "disobedient and free-thinking children" ... and that infuriates the USA.
The USA is the biggest thug, murderer, criminal and thief which the world has ever seen ... along with Israel and its followers, which includes much of the white Christian movement within the USA and their "missionaries" and most of the US mainstream media ... co-conspirators in spreading lies and US-government propaganda and infiltrating other nations on behalf of the US government and US corporations, which are mostly owned by you know who ... "legitimate" warmongering criminals.
It doesn't take "La tete a Papineau" to figure it all out ...
On Saturday morning last (March 1, 2008), the Colombian military attacked a group of Farc rebels while they slept on Ecuadorian soil ... and, in the ambush, they killed the number-two man of the Farc, Raul Reyes. Ecuador and Venezuela both reacted with rage and Venezuela has sent 10 battalions to the borders with Colombia and has closed the Venezuelan embassy in Bogota (Colombia).
The Farc, the Colombian Armed Revolutionary Forces (which fight against the Colombian elite-driven government -- and who have done so for more than 40 years, successfully), has been branded by the US government as a "terrorist" group .... and the USA claims that the Farc are deeply involved in the cocaine trade ... and that may be true, but apparently so is the Colombian government, the Colombian elite, the pro-Colombian Government AUC (also branded by the USA as "terrorists"), the ELN (another revolutionary group) and the CIA.
Figure it out ... it isn't that difficult.
Cocaine is a lucrative market ... and who is it that likes lucrative markets?
Capitalists, of course ... profit, profit, and more profit ... no matter how it's gotten and how many people they hurt on the way. And who are the biggest and most savage capitalists in the world? The USA.
Who are the biggest military-weapons-producers in the world? The USA, of course.
While making distractions such as Plan Colombia, the USA can sideswipe everyone without being noticed ... get in, and plunder, that is, steal the best coca-growing areas ... and at the same time sell more military material to Colombia, keeping their highly-profitable weapons-manufacturing industry and chemical-warfare industry alive and well ... at the expense of thousands of innocent Colombians caught between a US-driven facade -- "The War on Drugs."
Disgusting.
We knew this was coming ... and it has begun.
It is time that the US government and their co-conspirators be faced with the truth.
