A Case Study in Orwellian Lies and Imperial Delusions: Colombia’s Disappeared

[Peace Patriot]

2. Your tax dollars at work--for "hydrocarbons sectors" and investors in rubber palm oil!

And, if the truth were known, also at work for the trillion+ dollar cocaine revenue stream, which needed to be wrested from the small players--for instance, the FIVE MILLION peasant farmers who have been brutally displaced from their lands (tiny farms which grow food for the family and local community and maybe a few coca leaves for local use or to supplement extreme poverty incomes), consolidated into the hands of the big, protected drug lords and wealthy landowners and land thieves and directed to U.S. banksters, the CIA, the Bush Cartel and other beneficiaries.

Oil. Big Ag. Cocaine. The big drivers of transglobal corporate brutality aided by BILLIONS of U.S. tax dollars in military aid to Colombia, which has one of the worst human rights records on earth, plus numerous U.S. military bases, U.S. military training and coordination, USAID-designed "pacification" programs and more.

Paid for by you and me, in the interest of these transglobal monsters and war profiteers.

There is absolutely nothing we do to put the "Humpty Dumpty" of Colombia back together again--it is a U.S. broken country and society--except to leave them the !@#$ alone for a hundred years. And that ain't gonna happen until we straighten out our own country. (My advice: Start with the corporate-run, 'TRADE SECRET' voting machines, all over the U.S. in every state, now largely--75%--controlled by one, private, far rightwing-connected corporation--ES&S which bought out Diebold.)
