Reply #3: Associated Pukes = CIA. So this is a good omen--that they would publish this.

It may be a sign that Obama has finally given some direction to Latin American foreign policy, and told Bushwhack holdovers and kneejerk corpo'fascists to back off with the demonization of Chavez and other leftist leaders.

I can't think of a single instance where the Associated Pukes have published something positive about Chavez--or other leftist leaders, for that matter--though Chavez's popularity keeps running in the 60% to 70% range (as does that of other leftists), and he has many solid friends and allies among the leftist leaders of the continent--which means most of the continent, these days, as well as about half of Central America--with ever increasing election of leftist leaders, who are fed up with U.S. domination. The U.S. "war on drugs" has been the no. 1 tool for U.S. coup plotting, efforts to destroy democracy and to oppress the poor, in Latin America. In Bushwhack hands, the U.S. "war on drugs" became a corrupt, failed, murderous project, with funds and military forces used to spy on, and plot against, leftist governments. The most notable example is Bolivia, where the U.S. embassy and the DEA were colluding with white separatists, and instigated a failed, violent, fascist insurrection this last September. Evo Morales threw both the U.S. ambassador and the DEA out of Bolivia for this activity. Bolivia's numbers on the interdiction of cocaine have soared since the DEA was kicked out. Interesting, huh?

But it's a new day, and perhaps the U.S. "war on drugs" will at least be honest, and do what it is funded and mandated to do, under Obama, rather than further the drug cartels.

Anyway, the Associated Pukes are a good thermometer for what's gone "hot" or "cool" at Langley, and in Exxon Mobil's board room. And it looks like their cooling things down as to Chavez, and have maybe even called off (or delayed?) Rumsfeld's war.*

*(Long story, but I tagged the 'retired' Rumsfeld as the war planner, when he published an op-ed in the Washed Up Post, on 12/1/07 (a year after he 'retired'), entitled, "The Smart Way to Defeat Tyrants Like Chavez," in which he--among other things--called for "swift U.S. action" in support of "friends and allies" in South America. I can only think he meant in support of activities like the white separatist secession movement in the gas/oil provinces of Bolivia, where the U.S. (Bushwhack) ambassador was funding/organizing a civil war right out of the embassy, this last September. The fascist rioters shut down an airport, sacked government and NGO buildings, beat up the indigenous, blew up a gas pipeline and machine-gunned some 30 unarmed peasant farmers, before Evo Morales threw the U.S. ambassador and the DEA out of the country. Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador, said it was a three-country fascist civil war plot--Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador (i.e., where much of the oil is, in So. America), the idea being to split off the fascist enclaves into fascist mini-states in control of the resources. I've been worried that Rumsfeld/Exxon Mobil could proceed with this plan, as a private corporate resource war--using many resources stolen from us, or arranged with our money, such as the $6 BILLION in military aid to the narco-fascists running Colombia, and USAID-NED and other funds to the fascist opposition in these countries. A question I could not answer--not enough info, too early, confused signals from the Obama team--is whether Obama could be sucked in to providing U.S. military support to such schemes, or might wink at a private war, or might even approve of it. I don't know and can't guess. But this signal from the Associated Pukes (government propaganda agency) points to a possible genuine peace policy.)
