http://www.counterpunch.com/vlades03032005.htmlOn the night of February 25th the Argentine government successfully restructured its foreign debt by reducing what it owed foreign banks from $81 to 40 billion dollars. Thirty minutes later conservative political leaders and religious fundamentalists around the globe were baffled by an even more extraordinary news: the abrupt disappearance of Latin American leftists.
Theology of liberation priests and nuns could not be found anywhere; even Brazilian and Peruvian bishops could not be accounted for. The mayors of Mexico City and Bogota had disappeared into thin air, as well as their staffs. Similar reports indicated that entire governments of provincial capital and local cities have banished. Oddly, the very buildings serving as the headquarters of the Cuban Communist Party, the Movimiento al Socialismo in Bolivia, the Frente Amplio in Uruguay, the Piqueteros and the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires dissipated as well. Only vacant lots are found where shanty towns stood in every working class neighborhood throughout Latin America.
The CIA station chief in Lima, Peru - using his cell phone - told the Associated Press - "it is a miracle, the poor have disappeared!." Traffic flow crossing into San Diego or El Paso had dwindled to just one lane and no begging children were found at the bridge crossings.
Because of the absence of leftists Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Panama, Guyana, Cuba and the smaller islands of the Caribbean no longer have governments. "We have no comments until we can talk to someone down there" declared Richard Boucher at the State Department.
he Dredge learned that former General Rios Montt of Guatemala, a born again Christian, has suggested that the Rapture has already taken place, as expected. But he does not understand why leftists were the ones snatched by God to go to Heaven. Similar rumors have spread throughout the Southernest Baptist Convention but fundamentalist leaders are saying that it could not be true. A spokesman from Lynchburg, Virginia who wanted to remain anonymous charged that "this is a rapture alright, it is the devil's rapture trying to confuse God fearing Americans." He stressed that liberal wire services were collaborating with Lucifer.
