Correa Just Freed 1,200 Narcotraffickers

July 7, 2008    Jose Miguel Insulza, titular head of the OAS, tells us last week that the FARC has lost its legitimacy.
Insulza is wrong on this- very wrong. The FARC was never legitimate and was always a criminal cartel also engaged in political activities while carrying our brutal crimes and drug running.
 
 
Following up on the FARC hostage rescue of last week, which was superb by any account, we review the facts that the Raul Reyes FARC information materials showed a deep and sustained communication between the FARC and US Congressmen Jim McGovern and also Jan Schakowsky-Nancy Pelosi who encouraged FARC moll Piedad Cordoba in and out of the USA and their offices and as promoter of the FARC-hostage manipulations, prolonging the hostage suffering in Chavez-Cordoba-FARC's efforts to spring FARC prisoners from inside the US prisons, notably the drug finance mastermind picked up inside Ecuador called  Simon Trinidad  in swap for Betancourt. Trinidad is currently inside a US prison and is a preferred criminal sought for release by Chavez and the FARC and Cordoba. Cordoba was assisted in a FARC-Chavez PR visit with Trinidad a few months ago by Pelosi, Schakowsky and Soros's NGOs. Cordoba inexplicably visits US Democratic Party Congressional leadership in DC often and often resides inside Miraflores Palace in Caracas with Chavez and speaks often and works totally to encourage the FARC. That makes Nancy Pelosi and Jan Schakowsky the same as Cordoba: FARC molls for their support, financing and political backroom manipulations. Only just last week, the ever sluggish courts in Colombia finally got around to reviewing Cordoba's seditious support for narcoterror. It is time the USA does the same for their homegrown FARC molls, operating as they do to enable the FARC and its friends called the Soros-backed NGOs.
 
The FARC materials of 3-1-08 are notable for communications with not only representatives from the USG but Soros-backed NGO groups, working with McGovern-Pelosi and the FARC. Soros's WOLA-CIPCOL and others have been outed [but not censored nor indicted] for their criminal abuse of non profit status for tax purposes and failure to report the facts on their USG contracts in liaison with the FARC. This same Soros-Democrats leadership group inside the US Congress has jiggered formal efforts to denounce any passage of a free trade deal for Colombia. So much for the US Department of State's advice to Colombia to pay good money to these anti Colombia actors, called lobbyists for Soros and the FARC. That ill conceived and pathetic advice from one government to another reveals the stupidity of many of our global actors.
 
We have also mentioned here before that this same group cheerfully informed FARC leaders, specifically inside the Raul Reyes clandestine FARC plantation inside Ecuador- guided and enhanced by staff from the US Embassy in Quito to assist the Soros NGOs with the FARC- that soon enough Barack Obama would be the US president and that Obama would cancel all US support for Uribe and will stop fighting the FARC's criminal cartels. Obama, who may not have known what these US Congresspersons and Soros NGOs said in his name, has not denounced this although he may not be aware of what elected supporters and actors in his name say or do in his name. U.S. laws permit full review of all US taxpayer monies spent on the pets of the Senators Reid-Leahy-Dodd-private sector Soros-and Representatives Delahunt, Shakowsky and Pelosi-McGovern FARC support efforts from the USA's Democratic Party, also called commandeered by the Soros do drugs actors, sometimes called the FARC cartel. What we do know is that team Pelosi has barred a vote on trade with Colombia and also barred floor action on Congressional Resolutions regarding Chavez in the last 6 months. Pelosi's chief advisor is of course a Soros man. What we also know is that Plan Ecuador seeks to reinstall a FARC zone in the northern regions of Ecuador to protect and defend Correa's narcotrafficking relationships, sometimes called running heroin.
 
As to this article below, yes- it is really true: FARC moll Cordoba has been in and out of Washington, very recently speaking at the Inter American Dialogue, courtesy of US taxpayer monies through the OAS and US AID to extol the virtues of her living off of the FARC plus Chavez's largesse and her promotions of the FARC as an "alternative democracy" political force. Polo Democratico is indeed a political party movement, supported by numerous US NGOs and Chavez and the FARC.  This regional effort does indeed promote legitimizing narcoterror and is populated by numerous Soros actors and their money and supports as well as hard Left actors in the Andes. This so called new alternative to democracy is not new and it is not democracy.

THE AMERICAS

FARC's 'Human Rights' Friends
July 7, 2008; Page A11

As we learn more about the Colombian military's daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands out: In tricking FARC rebels into putting the hostages aboard a helicopter, undercover special forces simply told the comandantes that the aircraft was being loaned to them by a fictitious nongovernmental organization sympathetic to their cause called the International Humanitarian Mission.

It may have taken years for army intelligence to infiltrate the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and it may have been tough to convincingly impersonate rebels. But what seems to have been a walk in the park was getting the FARC to believe that an NGO was providing resources to help it in the dirty work of ferrying captives to a new location.

I am reminded of President Álvaro Uribe's 2003 statement that some "human rights" organizations in his country were fronts for terrorists. Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd got his back up over Mr. Uribe's statement, and piously lectured the Colombian president about "the importance of democratic values."

But as the helicopter story suggests, Mr. Uribe seems to have been right. How else to explain the fact that the FARC swallowed the line without batting an eye?

This warrants attention because it adds to the already robust evidence that left-wing NGOs and other so-called human rights defenders, including Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and Colombian Sen. Piedad Cordoba, are nothing more than propagandists for terrorists.

When passions over kidnap victim Ingrid Betancourt and the other hostages were running high, these actors pressed Mr. Uribe to grant FARC demands. Now it is clear that the pressure was geared more toward strengthening the rebels' hand than freeing the captives.

Left-wing NGOs have made undermining the Colombian government's credibility a priority for many years. A 2003 internal report from the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá titled "A Closer Look at Human Rights Statistics" confirmed as much. It found that NGO analyses – for example by the Jesuit-founded Center for Popular Research and Education known as Cinep – of the human-rights environment contained a heavy bias against the government while granting a wide berth to guerrillas.

Since the late 1990s, the NGO practice of dragging the military into court on allegations of human rights violations has destroyed the careers of some of the country's finest officers, even though most of these men were found innocent after years of proceedings. "Judicial warfare" turned out to be especially effective because under legislation pushed by Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, "credible" charges against officers put at risk U.S. military aid unless the accused was removed. The NGOs knew that they only had to point fingers to get rid of an effective leader and demoralize the ranks. Given this history, it's not surprising that the FARC thought a helicopter from an NGO was perfectly natural.

As to Mr. Chávez, documents captured during a Colombian raid of a guerrilla camp in Ecuador show that, in his role as "mediator" in hostage negotiations since last year, he was advising the rebels as to how to best use their hostages as leverage to advance their revolution.

Last fall, Mr. Chávez and the FARC hatched an audacious plan whereby the Venezuelan would take "proof of life" of Ms. Betancourt to French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris, where the plight of Ms. Betancourt was a cause célèbre. The rebels wrote that Mr. Chávez was sure French pressure for negotiations would cause President Bush to "order Uribe to allow the meeting" between Mr. Chávez and the rebels on Colombian soil, something Mr. Uribe had refused to do. The rebels reported that Mr. Chávez was "super-motivated," because he viewed the rendezvous as a public-relations coup that would give him and the FARC "continental and world renown."

That plan flopped, but Mr. Chavez had other cards up his sleeve. One involved Ms. Cordoba, who is currently under investigation by the Colombian attorney general for ties to the FARC. She figures prominently in the captured rebel documents, and is notoriously close to Mr. Chávez.

She met at the Venezuelan presidential palace with FARC leaders last fall. From that meeting the rebels reported that "Piedad says that Chávez has Uribe going crazy. He doesn't know what to do. That Nancy Pelosi helps and is ready to help in the swap [hostages in exchange for captured guerrillas]. That she has designated [U.S. Congressman Jim] McGovern for this."

If the speaker of the House was working with Ms. Cordoba in this scheme, her judgment was more than a little misguided. The rebels write that on a trip to Argentina Ms. Cordoba told them, "It doesn't matter to me the proposal that Sarkozy has made to free Ingrid. Above all, do not liberate Ingrid." In short, why give up such a useful pawn?

And still full US AID and OAS funding support for the criminals running Ecuador in to the dirt, also called inserting Chavez's communist mandates, are telling us all that Correa's illegal release of Ecuador's narcoterrorists, which he calls low level mules- are actually high level traffickers and true criminals. Claiming the support of the illegal Assembly, itself a living shrine to its founder's name for the ALFARISTAS, sister group to the Shining Path and the FARC, are busily legalizing all that should never be legalized. Here is NOTICIAS 24:

"Ecuador indulta a 1.200 “mulas” y traficantes de droga
04:21 pm | 06 Jul 2008

Unos 1.200 “mulas” narcotraficantes han sido indultados por la Asamblea Constituyente de Ecuador por considerar que las penas de prisión que enfrentan son desproporcionadas al delito que cometieron.

“El presidente (Rafael Correa) cumplió su promesa y le agradecemos a él y a los asambleístas“, dijo telefónicamente a la AP el reo Gean Carlo Aragundi, dirigente de una organización de prisioneros en un penal del centro de Quito..."

US AID and its NED-backed contractors in Quito and Montecristi under a new, massive finding contract, claim that they are strengthening democracy in Ecuador- for tens of millions of dollars. This is of course an exorbitant fraud, every bit as much a fraud as the US Embassy's staffers who actually aided and abetted support communications between the Soros pro FARC groups and the FARC itself. Rather, these turn coats should have turned states evidence and assisted actual U.S. laws, not the law of the jungle. 1,200 narcotraffickers released in to the universe may make the Shining Path advocates called the Alfaristas and the FARC feel good but what must follow is the logical removal of USA monies, especially the farce called the ATPDEA free trade give away.

With the Soros do-drugs groups inhabiting the massive US monied give away called the NED of late, we are in disbelief that Hugo Chavez is serious at all about formally rejoining 1st and 2nd tier nations in acting on international law and order tenants. We have living proof that Correa is not serious at all about law and order.

We have no confidence in any integrity out of Chavez's words or deeds unless and until he turns over all his Hezbollah and FARC money making friends and allies. We have no belief in Chavez because he also tacks on a caveat, acceptable to all US Democrats of course but revealing of the essential dishonesty of Chavez's sincerity to cut off his drug running schemes and that is....Chavez refuses to become legitimate regarding narcoterror and his support thereto until there is a new USA president, as Chavez states. Chavez is informed by his ambassador in Washington, D.C. and all his spies and double agents populating Washington, D.C. under various fake representations that Barack Hussein Obama will be the next USA president and as Congressman McGovern explained to the FARC leaders -aka Chavez- before he jiggered U.S. House rules to create harm to Alvaro Uribe and the US-Colombia FTA deal, is that Obama will never support anti FARC, anti drugs or anti Chavez-Correa activities. So it behooves us all to grasp the concept that Chavez labors under his advisors' position that Obama will bless his cartel mess and that Chavez will reign supreme with his regional cartels, now married with Iran and Hezbollah.

If this be treason, we defer to better brains than ours to defend their positions and remind us that what is seditious and treasonous and a fraudulent scam perpetrated on innocent victims is....not what it appears to be. Just ask Hezbollah for a precise analysis of what they are doing today. You can commence from that point forward. And if you believe that Correa, Chavez and Hezbollah are actually helping their region and helping "the poor"- you are seriously delusional. And if you seriously believe the lie that Hugo Chavez and Rafael Correa will mysteriously return to some baseline normative behaviors under a Barack Hussein Obama presidency, populated entirely by the Soros workers across the entire U.S. government to resist law and order per se and to enable legalizing all that should never be legalized, then you tender reader are also baseless and shockingly delusional. Law and order does not wait for governments to change hands- law and order is, if effective, a constant outside the realm of jiggered politics, also called Blind Justice....blind to personal preferences and upholding rule of law. Delaying justice regarding Correa and Chavez is denying justice.

It is past time to cancel the ATPDEA free trade deal with Ecuador's Correa. He has slapped the tenants of the deal one too many times. While Ecuadoreans may approve manhandling and manipulating reality and the tenants of decent comity, the USA should never be seen as manipulated by these crass hucksters and abusive manipulators called the Correa government. Correa has just kicked law and order in the face. He is not a decent nor law abiding partner and while some may actually like his rough play and physical abuse of decency, we do not. In fact, his behaviors are unacceptable at any level. Did Correa permit the US DEA to fingerprint these drug runners and terror supporters on their way out of prison? Did the USA even ask? We will see these criminals again and again for they are not rehabilitated to insure a life inside the law for there is no law inside Ecuador and nothing moves toward sustainable law and order under Correa. But Correa did just buy himself a whole lot of new supporters: 1,200 of them to be exact. We call them criminals; Correa calls them his new friends.
