Now let's consider what is happening to trade unionist in Colombia before we jump to any conclusions.
Colombians cannot march peacefully on their streets, without facing death threats. If the march that took place in Colombia on March 6th was a message, it was to bring to the notice of the world the situation in Colombia where unionist are singled out for death by government agents working for U.S. corporations.
- Union participants are being killed off at an alarming rate and their bodies dumped after being tortured.
The government of Alvaro Uribe Velez has made Colombia a slave camp far worse than Siberia in the Soviet Union. Any attempt to create a union is met with certain death for those who take part in it.
Any Free Trade deal with the U.S. would create far worse living conditions than exists even now in Colombia. Human Rights per se do not exist in Colombia, because no U.S. Corporation will tolerate it. Unions are a means of protection for workers rights and these are frowned upon by multinational corporations because it would cut into their profits, something that they will not kindly to.
Now, the reasons why the U.S. really opposes Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution, because such a movement can catch fire in Colombia and other Latin American countries that are now totally under U.S. domination, with Gauleiters appointed by the Bush regime. These Gauleiters take their job of control very seriously, because they are martinets and they govern with an iron fist.
Anyone that challenges their authority is summarily dealt with by the secret police that now watches every Colombian.
The attack on the FARC camp in Ecuador was planned in such a way as to divert attention away from what is really happening behind the scenes in Colombia today. Let there be no doubt that whatever is taking place in Latin America has been planned by the U.S. To permit the Bolivarian Revolution to succeed would mean the end of U.S. influence and also to cheap labour that some Latin American countries like Colombia are supplying U.S. Corporations.
That in a nut-shell is what the U.S. fears most, because it hits hard at the huge profits that Corporations have been making for their shareholders for a long time.
Thus the U.S. has to make sure that the Venezuelan Bolivarian Revolution fails and to the end it is also using Quislings to undermine the Chavez Government.
The opposition in Venezuela is already in the pay of the enemies of Venezuela, and we already know what that enemy is, but we must find ways to undercut that enemies influence and destroy it completely.

And the only way to stop the spread of this imperialist slavery even further is to spread the socialist revolution thruout América Latina instead. Which means first of all, the deepening the "Bolivarian" Revolution inside Venezuela by devolving power to the consejos -- and then the spreading of socialist revolution into Colombia and the rest of the continent. It's the only way to deal with this slave system of inequality and murder.
