18. Well, that's interesting, that one of the Bushites' ever-dwindling "friends and allies"
in South America--the corrupt Peru "free trader," Alan Garcia--ALSO objects to this Bushite black op to sabotage the hostage negotiations and peace initiatives for Colombia. I had figured him for a Bushite pushover, when push came to shove (so to speak). With Ecuador on one border, and Bolivia on the other, Peru sits between two Bushite targets--the oil fields of Ecuador, and the gas and oil reserves in Bolivia. Rumsfeld (i.e., his op-ed in the Washington Post, Dec 07) is desperate for strategic ground from which to launch destabilization efforts, rightwing paramilitary death squads, and even U.S. military intervention in support of fascist thugs planning coups in these countries, as well as in Venezuela and Argentina. It appeared to me, the way things are set up for Rumsfeld's OIL WAR II, that Peru would be a transit area for Rumsfeld's forces. But I hadn't counted on simple Latin American PRIDE--respect for Latin American sovereignty. And, we shouldn't kid ourselves--all South Americans know that Colombia = U.S. The Colombian government is a puppet of the Bush Cartel. So this recent, horrendous incident, is not just one South American country, Colombia, violating the sovereignty of another, Ecuador. It is the UNITED STATES, with its billions of dollars in military aid to Colombia, who is pulling the strings.

And I guess Alan Garcia doesn't like his strings pulled--or he's being duplicitous, also a possibility. (The same with Calderon in Mexico--saying one thing, for the ears of their Latin American brothers, but quite another in secret communiques with the Bush Junta.) In any case, Rumsfeld (master string-puller in this situation) has put them all in a VERY AWKWARD POSITION. They all know what's going on. It's only U.S. taxpayers who don't know what's going on--the opening shots of OIL WAR II, orchestrated by Donald Rumsfeld, that lovable old retiree--and slaughterer of 1.2 million people to get their oil.

Well, I hope this finally puts an end to the disaster of U.S./South American relations, under the Bush Junta. And I hope that the South Americans take the action that is really needed, and that is appropriate--which is to throw the U.S. out of the OAS for this outrage--and condemnation of, and sanctions against, its puppet Colombia. The U.S. money train is completely out of fuel. There is no more money in the U.S. treasury. We are looking at a TEN TRILLION DOLLAR deficit. So we U.S. taxpayers can no longer subsidize Colombia and its death squads. The Colombian people need to join the rest of South America--Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Nicaragua (and soon Paraguay)--all now with good, leftist (majorityist), democratic governments--in regional self-sufficiency and cooperation, and independence from the U.S.

And we can thank Donald Rumsfeld for this*, and for all his other blessings.
