17. Thanks for this military info Judi! Nearly a thousands U.S. troops and Chinook helicopters
in Peru, near the border. Very interesting. I may be right about why Alan Garcia did not attend the UNASUR meeting--he's colluding with the Bushwhacks and the Bolivian white separatists. Maybe also the Bushwhacks told him he had to vote against the Morales government, and he could not do this without inviting the ire of everyone else in South America. Uribe voted with the others, without blinking an eye. But that may have been to have a Bushbot within UNASUR to obstruct the peacekeeping force or something else coming down the line, and to cause trouble in the future. Uribe is not to be trusted.

I didn't know about Garcia ordering massacres in Peru. Ye gods! I thought he was merely corrupt. This makes it even more likely that he is colluding with the Bushwhacks and white separatists in Bolivia.

I tend to think that the Bushwhack scheme in Bolivia is so nuts that it must be intended primarily as a distraction--a way to cripple or preoccupy a close ally of Chavez/Venezuela, and cause trouble for other allies (for instance, Bolivia's gas customers, Brazil and Argentina). But if the Bushwhacks have these troops in Peru, to answer a request for support from the white separatists in Bolivia, or to ferret in mercenaries and death squads (and wasn't one of the murderers of the peasants in Pando a Peruvian?), weapons and other support, and if Fernando Lugo cannot stop similar support from Paraguay, at the other end of insurrectionist provinces, then maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe they really do intend, somehow--with all of South America against them--to split off these provinces into a fascist mini-state in control of the gas and oil. I still say: who are they going to sell the gas to? Brazil and Argentina are strongly opposed to this secessionist ploy. The Buswhacks can't take gas out with Chinook helicopters.

Maybe it's just to have fighting, mayhem, bloodshed--a state of siege within a Venezuelan ally. Or maybe they intend to disrupt Brazil and Argentina. If the secessionists gain control of the gas, and those countries' presidents refuse to trade with the secessionists, they are going to have moneyed business interests on their backs to give in, no doubt with Bushwhacks advising and funding them. Rumsfeld could have billions stashed away, to support the secessionists while the Bushwhacks try to bring down the Brazilian and Argentine governments.

If I was Morales, I would request a UNASUR peacekeeping force to line Bolivia's borders with Peru and Paraguay. The Bolivian military could occupy whatever secessionist provinces they need to, within Bolivia, while Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and others have their back at the borders. They need lots of eyes and ears, and surveillance equipment.
