"On the eve of Valenzuela's visit, Morales suggested U.S. drug aid is counterproductive. He said Bolivian judges and prosecutors who get training in the U.S. have returned and freed drug traffickers from jail." --the Associated Pukes
My read on the U.S. "war on drugs" is that it is a policy designed to, a) increase drug trafficking, crime and corruption in the targeted countries; b) encourage and fund militarism and fascism (with U.S. taxpayer dollars) so that the increased drug trafficking, crime and corruption will be met with rightwing solutions (jail and harsh punishments for the poor, "raids" in poor neighborhoods, open season on beating up and shooting the poor, rhetoric of the righteous vs "the perps" with all non-rich citizens as "perps" or "potential perps," abrogation of human and civil rights; and c) vast benefit to multinational corporations who want resources, land, slave labor workforces and political control in the targeted countries and vast benefit to war profiteers who want markets for grenade launchers, rifles, scopes, armored vehicles, bullets, uniforms, helmets, pepper spray hoses, handcuffs, boots, helicopter gunships, spyware, bombs, fighter jets, radar, billy clubs, toxic chemicals for destroying small farmers' crops and small farmers, etc.
I hadn't thought of the twist of training judges to be corrupt--i.e., letting the big, CIA protected drug traffickers go free. But it doesn't surprise me. The object is to entirely disrupt and destroy the targeted society and force compliance to our corporate rulers' every desire. You only have to take an objective look at Colombia, Mexico and Honduras to understand this horrid U.S. power game. With the Bushwhacks, it was raw and very bloody. The Clintonites may be a bit subtler in their use of this weapon (the "war on drugs") but we should never forget that they initiated the carnage in Colombia over the last decade and now intend to benefit from it by pushing a U.S./Colombia "free trade for the rich" pact through Congress. First you proxy-kill a lot of human rights workers, community activists, political leftists, teachers, union leaders, peasant farmers and others--and displace millions of peasant farmers (3 to 4 million in Colombia) who end up in urban squalor desperate for jobs--then (in the case of Colombia) you install the U.S. military at seven military bases, with free reign to use all civilian infrastructure and with "total diplomatic immunity" for all U.S. soldiers and U.S. 'contractors,' to enforce the "rights" of Monsanto, Chiquita, Gap, Occidental Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, BP, et al. Corrupting judges is surely part of the plan.
One other purpose of the U.S. "war on drugs" is the Pentagon purpose of "full spectrum" military activities in the "southern cone." I have no doubt whatsoever that they have contingency plans for seizing large Latin American oil fields, such as Venezuela's. We see evidence of this EVERY DAY in the intense psyops/disinformation campaign against the Chavez government in the controlled press. There was another hit piece in the Washington Psst just yesterday (posted here by promoters of this current CIA line that Venezuela's economic troubles are different from the troubles that ALL countries including ours are having, due to immense Bushwhack thievery and deliberate malfeasance, and are Chavez's fault). And there is also very concrete evidence in the Pentagon placement of war assets all around Venezuela's oil coast and northern oil provinces. The "war on drugs" provides cover for these war plans.
Judges, pssht! Dime a dozen. The global corporate predators and war profiteers who are running things bought the frigging U.S. Supreme Court to install the Bush Junta! In any case, Morales is on to them and I trust that he is fully aware of how the Clintonites worm the U.S. war machine into a country as stage one of reconquest, and will severely curtail their ability to destroy Bolivia's democracy when diplomatic relations are restored.
