URIBE's Mafia Self-Destructs - Uribe Pushed Towards War
Álvaro Uribe is Pushed Towards War

Jose Steinsleger - La Jornada

Translation: Machetera

For the remainder of his term, the tenant in the Black House will try to carry out, in any way possible, a pair of bold political moves: the overthrow of the Bolivian President Evo Morales, and the support of the über-narco-paramilitary President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, godfather of all Colombian mafia godfathers.

Apolinar Diaz-Callejas, an eminent international barrister, described the situation of the South American country as something “incredible” and “never before seen.” Not for no reason: 33 official legislators are behind bars, 70 more are under investigation, while their president has “84% popularity,” according to Mitofsky, the gringo polling firm that deserves its name.

We should remember Luis Guillermo Giraldo, the ex-ambassador from Colombia to Mexico, when he took great offense to the statements of this writer that 3/4 of the Congress in his country was composed of deputies and senators linked to drug trafficking and paramilitary cartels (El Correo Ilustrado, July 8, 2006).

As respectful of diplomatic investiture as I am, I thought that perhaps my sources had been manipulated by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and bad vibes. But then I learned that on January 2, 2005, while driving in his car down Insurgentes Avenue, from south to north, Mr. Luis made an illegal left turn and hit a Metrobus.

1. This is so strange! The laptop has just begun to speak! It will become impossible to imagine how
much amazing material will be said to be derived from the amazing, death-defying, bomb-proof laptop. From the article:
An ideologue of “democratic security,” Osorio is a strong supporter of Uribe’s drama: lead and chainsaws, against a backdrop of thousands of campesinos who weep for their massacred families, and nearly 4 million displaced people. Colombia’s Attorney General between 2001 and 2005, he has been accused of abetting massacres, extra-judicial executions, and the clandestine burials of hundreds of people. But Carlos Fazio has already fully covered Mr. Ambassador’s patriotic services to Colombia (La Jornada, June 17, 2007).

Last November, the president of the Senate Human Rights Commission, Rosario Ibarra de Piedra, asked the federal government to withdraw the aforesaid ambassador, for “coordinating the activities of undercover Colombian agents in Mexico.”

And there you have it. On April 10th, a straightforward report appeared in one of the Capital’s newspapers, under a big headline which said, “Union Leader Found to be the Nexus With the FARC.” Naturally, the source for the shocking tale was the famous atomic computer belonging to Raúl Reyes, the gunned down FARC commander. Who was linked with the “union leader?” Bingo! Rosario Ibarra de Piedra.
By the way, the laptop revealed there are FARC posting at D.U.! Who would have thought! It's only a matter of time until Homeland Security hauls them off. Oh, maybe, I should include :sarcasm: to prevent being hauled off, myself.
