Guatemala declares emergency in four towns to quell mining protests

1. Do you want to laugh or cry?

They're trying to blame this on... are you sitting down? - Drug cartels.

The whole reason O.M. made all that noise about decriminalizing drugs is to get more military aid for the war against the poor under the pretext of fighting the "war on drugs". The 200 marines the US admitted to sending a few months ago isn't enough. The Rios Montt trial is tied into that to show *progress* on human rights so Congress will lift the 1990 ban on military aid and US funds can start flowing in. But the hitch is that Rios Montt has to be the sacrificial lamb and sole person responsible, which as you know, isn't working out too well.

So now the poor fighting the mining companies' crimes are Zeta. Pretty soon they'll be AQ.

Meanwhile they're still digging up graves. 8 were found just this week alone, from a genocide President O.M. swore never happened, and if it did, he knew nothing about it despite being the Head of Intelligence.

GUATEMALA CITY - President Otto Perez Molina said the raids and arrests are the result of an investigation of more than six months that has developed in the area with support from the Public Ministry, in which it was determined that there was conspiracy, armed robbery, murder, kidnapping, destruction of government property.

"The outcome of the investigation may prove that not all the happened here has been related to the San Rafael mine as some groups have wanted to say, there have been a series of crimes that are mixed with organized crime and other interests, which has led to anarchy in the region, "said the president.

These statements were supported by the Minister of Interior, Mauricio Lopez Bonilla, who noted that there is evidence that the incidents are related to the operations of the Zetas cartel, mainly in Jalapa.
