as to Bushwhack and Corpo/Fascist efforts to "divide and conquer" among the many leftist governments that have been voted into power, and to destabilize these countries, and topple their democracies.
This compromise is the work of UNASUR, the new South American "Common Market" (sans the U.S.), which was formalized only this May, and met its first crisis--the Bushwhack effort to destabilize Bolivia--head on, with 100% backing of the Morales government, and sending a commission to Bolivia, to broker talks between the sides, and also initiated an investigation into the fascist side's slaughter of some 30 unarmed peasants in their rioting of a few weeks ago.
UNASUR acted with swiftness and strength. And key to their unanimity and strength is that it is an all-South American body, with no U.S. membership. It is very important that this matter did not go to the OAS, where the Bushwhacks could have blocked action.
Bolivia was a test case, in my opinion, for a strategy that Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador, has openly talking about: A Bush Junta plan to split off the oil rich provinces in three countries--Bolivia, Venezuela and Ecuador--and form fascist mini-states in control of the oil (to regain global corporate predator control of the oil). Bolivia has a particular weakness, in having a white separatist segment of the population concentrated in one area, where its biggest gas and oil reserves are. The white separatists want control of those resources, and want to deny benefit of those resources to Bolivia's poor majority. These separatists were easily agitated by the Bushites, and, when all this started, the plan may have been to shuttle U.S. forces into these provinces, in support of a fascist civil war, through Paragauy. But Paraguay, meanwhile, elected its first leftist government, after more than 60 years of corrupt rightwing rule, and its new president, Fernando Lugo, opposes the U.S. military presence in Paraguay, and certainly wouldn't facilitate efforts to destabilize Bolivia.
The tenor of things changed. Perhaps faced with the failure of the Bushite strategy, the white separatists then rioted (a few weeks ago), murdered dozens of poor people, and disgraced their cause throughout South America. And Evo Morales threw the U.S. ambassador out of Bolivia, for funding and colluding with them.
I'm not sure the Bushwhacks were ever quite serious about Bolivia--except for causing sheer mayhem and trouble for a leftist country, using this racist group. They may have intended it as a distraction, while they worked on a similar plot, for their main target, the Venezuelan oil reserves on the Caribbean in the Venezuelan northern state of Zulia, which is adjacent to Colombia (Bush Cartel client state), and where the Bushites have now stationed the newly reconstituted U.S. 4th Fleet. There is strong evidence of a similar fascist group in Zulia, whose governor was the rightwing opposition candidate against Chavez in 06 (and had to publicly distance himself from the then-current fascist plot to assassinate Chavez, when the plot was exposed.) Chavez's invitation to the Russians to conduct joint naval manuevers in the Caribbean is likely a warning off, to the Bushites, re Zulia.
Far from being a "rogue" state, Chavez and his government are in close accord with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia. With Chile, these governments, representing most of South America, form the majority of UNASUR, and are determined upon economic/political integration, regional sovereignty and social justice. Brazil proposed a common defense, but it is not yet in place. Chavez is responsible for securing the northern border of their "Common Market" (Zulia), and would never have invited the Russians to maneuvers without consulting these other leaders. They are likely in accord about it. Brazil's president recently said that the U.S. 4th Fleet threatens Brazil's coastal oil reserves as well.
Bolivia is land-locked. Its chief gas customers are Brazil and Argentina, both with leftist governments, who have stated that they will not trade with, or recognize, any separatist states of Bolivia. So, who are the fascist secessionists going to sell their gas to? It was a crazy scheme all along, pushed by the Bushites, that ended in rioting and murder, and now a compromise. Zulia is another story, however. With Zulia's oil, the U.S. and its Corpos could insure a supply to the U.S. and could bully Caribbean/Central American countries, and try to turn back the leftist tide, by providing or withholding oil. (Venezuela is now providing low cost oil to a number of small, poor countries, including Nicaragua, Dominica, Honduras and Cuba).
In this context, the agreement between the Morales government and the white separatists is momentous in several respects. It is a stunning victory for this new organization, UNASUR. No one else has succeeded in getting the separatists to talk--not the OAS, not the Catholic bishops, not Brazil and Argentina with their combined economic weight, nor Morales himself. Many have tried. UNASUR succeeded--a good omen for this new "Common Market." It is momentous for Bolivia, which has been wracked by this fascist strife for several years. And it is momentous as a defeat for the Bushites, who poured millions of our taxpayer dollars into instigating this civil war.
The fascist violence may not be over, but the first talks have begun, and it appears that UNASUR has gotten the cooler heads among the white separatists to prevail. There are plenty of gas revenues for everybody. Morales has DOUBLED Bolivia's gas revenues--from $1 million/year to $2 million/year--by nationalizing the gas and re-negotiating the contracts. And with Brazil and Venezuela's help, Bolivia stands to become a major trade route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with a new road that is going to be constructed, spanning the continent, through Bolivia, and with Chile negotiating Bolivian access to the sea, at long last.
So, everything is in place for the South Americans to resist and defeat any effort by the Bushwhacks or their Corpo puppetmasters, or the U.S. under Obama (whether overtly or covertly), to try to grab Zulia's oil.
