October 6, 2008   It is time for North Americans to come out of the closet and reveal precisely what it is doing spending so much money and wasting its prestige on the Rafael Correa-Hugo Chavez-Evo Morales cartel bloc of Russo-Iranian money launderers and weapons of aggression builders. Yes- we know that Rafaelito will exclaim that he wants no part of this and is a peace loving man. But fool you once by Rafaelito's words and you are an idiot twice over. Correa has fully aligned his government- that is the people of Ecuador- with the Russo-Iranian bloc and there is no way out for Ecuadoreans who have willfully and cravenly defaulted on their own nation and followed Correa in to this criminal wanderlust.
 
But what of North America? What of the Democratic Party leaders of the U.S. Congress, who control the wallets of the US government, and their dirty, hidden supports for the Chavez-Morales-Correa bloc of Russo-Iranian nations? While it must be said that the laws of sedition and treason are rarely applied in the USA, the US laws do perforce a full Inspector's General Review of all the pro-Russo-Iranian support projects in the Andes spearheaded by Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid -also called Tim Reiser admiralty of monies- to factually analyze what and where, under law, these support monies are going.
 
This situation requires more than just a costume designer inquiry about who stages this anti-American communist party RED-outfit wearing event in unity with the FARC-communist cartel in the Andes:


                     Jorge Enrique Botero/El Tiempo
Nancy Pelosi, Piedad Córdoba and Jim McGovern.

Like the now-dead orgy partiers of the Raul Reyes FARC jungle covered, multi hectare permanent intelligence center [protected by the Correa government] inside Ecuador who died last March 1, 2008 on their own land mines, the cartel revelers were wearing red too...red undergarments. Who does their look? And why does these fools believe it is helpful to express unity with communist party Chavez red? And why, we wonder, do the Americans pay for this, support these behaviors and spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars on activities which rape, pillage, kidnap and murder innocent humans...calling their subset of deviant behaviors "human Rights" for narcoterrorists to install "new alternative democracies"? Nancy Pelosi and Jim McGovern, of the US Congress are in fact assisting the Soros teams to erect a new narcobloc of nations in the Andes which are not democracies and are illicit.

We know that tens of millions of US dollars prop up/bolster and help sell/lie about the Rafael Correa communist regime in Quito from the USA. We know that tens of millions through the hidden NED/UN/Soros drug enabling accounts paid for by the US taxpayer flood in to Caracas and La Paz for bolstering the criminally abhorrent narcostates called Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. Concurrently, scores of paid communist propagandists from Venezuela and Ecuador flood across the US congress and the US media without so much as a by your leave and with no integrity whatsoever except the pretense that they are building democracy when in fact they are protecting spot Russo-Iranian oil traders and so called "innocent banking leaders"  from Caracas and Correa's money making drug transport routes, previously called "remittance depositors" from Washington, DC funded by US AID...which are in reality money launderers and scam artists who have no business whatsoever in running shadow banks in the USA for dirty money movers from Ecuador.
 
Sra. Piedad Cordoba of Colombia is an active agent of the Hugo Chavez regime to prop up the FARC's drug activities as she is in and out of Washington, DC often, presenting her anti-American views at the anti-Plan Colombia Inter American Dialogue and visits the US Capitol often to lobby as an unregistered foreign agent to protect and enhance the Chavez narcozones. We have reported here before that Cordoba, like all souls from the Andes, concurrently goes shopping while in DC using her Chavez-backed gold card paid for by Venezuela. A few years back, former US Congressperson Cynthia McKinney saw to it that Cordoba even got line item appropriations from the US Congress for her "humanitarian work" which included the standard lies about the Andean situation. Today she is supported through pass through accounts from US AID's NED and the Soros groups as sub contracts using US tax dollars combined with Chavez's open wallet.
 
Here is an update on this from today's JOURNAL which also shows Nancy Pelosi with Cong McGovern and Sra. Cordoba, who is a FARC moll and FARC propagandist. You should note that this formal photo was taken not at a normal tourist spot but off the balcony of the Speaker of the House's private chambers, which are of course reserved for "special" House Leadership moments and are not recorded.

Democrats Shouldn't Coddle Chávez
The prospect of a nuclear Venezuela should be enough to unite allegiances in Washington.
By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY

Hugo Chávez provoked nary a peep from the Bush administration when he recently welcomed Russian fighter jets to an air base in the state of Aragua. For a man desperate to prove his importance, nothing could have been more insulting than the yawn in Washington when the Russians touched down in Venezuela.

But the Venezuelan president will not be ignored and last week he tried again to command attention from someone, anyone, in Washington. This time he popped up at a local political rally to announce that Venezuela has accepted a Russian offer to build nuclear reactors in the socialist paradise.

Given the deterioration of the Venezuelan economy under Chávez management since 1999, it's hard to take the chatty dictator seriously as an evil genius. The Bolivarian Revolution has not even been able to run 20th-century oil technology efficiently. Intelligence sources say that much of Venezuela's military hardware is also suffering from neglect. Nevertheless, a nuclear threat in the region ought not be dismissed casually. Mr. Chávez is a great admirer of the mullahs in Iran and we know why they want nuclear "energy."

How the U.S. answers matters a lot. State Department rhetoric directed at Caracas would only give Mr. Chávez the spitting match he wants with "the empire" ahead of the country's Nov. 23 gubernatorial elections. A more effective U.S. policy response would be a tripling of U.S. support for our staunchest ally in the region, Colombia, and a commitment to restoring a strong U.S. dollar.

Disillusion in Venezuela with the Bolivarian promise is growing. A corruption scandal involving an attempt to smuggle millions of dollars from the Venezuelan oil company into Buenos Aires for the campaign of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner is increasing the popular view that the oil wealth is being stolen by chavistas. Electric power outages have blanketed some 50% of the country over the past few months and the annual inflation rate is now 35%. It's easy to see how, in fair elections, the chavistas could lose a number of key gubernatorial races. This is why Mr. Chávez is engaging in a military buildup and trying to pick fights with Washington.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's neglect of the U.S. dollar is one reason Mr. Chávez has thus far gone unchallenged. As the dollar has headed south, oil prices have skyrocketed and a mediocre Latin populist has transformed himself into a roaring mouse. Last month Mr. Chávez announced that he would buy 24 K-8 aircraft from China to "train fighter pilots." Jane's reports that total orders for Russian weaponry now top $4 billion. As documents captured in March from the rebel group FARC -- aka the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -- revealed, Mr. Chávez has also used his windfall of petrodollars to support terrorism.

Even if Mr. Paulson were to figure out the link between the weak dollar and oil dictators around the world, a greenback reversal would take time. The strongest immediate signal the U.S. could send Mr. Chávez and Latin American democracies is unequivocal support for Colombia. President Bush has tried to do that but the effort is being undermined by Congressional Democrats.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has refused to allow a vote on the Colombia-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, sending a message to Bogotá and any would-be friends in the region that we are unreliable. But trifling with Colombia-U.S. trade is only part of a larger outrage. The Democrats also are playing footsie with Mr. Chávez, as the nearby photo -- with the two women dressed in matching chavista red -- taken in Washington a year ago indicates.

Left-wing Colombian Sen. Piedad Córdoba is a close friend of Mr. Chávez and a frequent visitor to the Venezuelan presidential palace. She is also trusted by the FARC and is often photographed with its leaders. Her political activities among the rebels have provoked so many questions in Colombia that the government has launched an investigation into her FARC ties.

U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern's name is all over the captured FARC documents and when a Wall Street Journal editorial reported as much in March, the Massachusetts Democrat didn't deny it. But he howled in protest when this column reported that the FARC leaders wrote that Mrs. Pelosi had "designated" him to work on hostage negotiations. The FARC also expressed faith in Mrs. Pelosi as someone who "helps" in its effort to undermine Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. Mr. McGovern said in a letter to this newspaper that the FARC was engaging in fantasy. But maybe instead the rebels put their faith in Mrs. Pelosi because they perceive a common friend in the radicalized Ms. Córdoba, who can do their bidding in Washington.

If Mr. Chávez thinks he can go nuclear with no consequences it is because he understands the divided allegiances in Washington. One way to solve that problem would be for Democrats to come out and say whose side they are on.

While we have referenced the pro-narcotics Soros groups scrambling around the Andes and while Correa convenes a so called formal discussion to discuss the so called "crisis" in the Americas today, here WAS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE on CNBC's website, on the credit panic giving a raucous parody on all the current shenanigans. It was REMOVED, as is explained here. BUT YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO HERE NOW. DO NOT MISS IT.

But the MIAMI HERALD here reports, "The Venezuelan government, with help from Cuban military advisors and leftist Colombian guerrillas, is operating a secret paramilitary training camp in a closed-off tourist campground near here, former participants and government critics say. The camp offers six-week courses for a rolling contingent of 400 to 1,000 participants, including a first-phase political indoctrination with texts printed in Cuba and a second phase of guerrilla training for the most loyal students that includes the use of light and heavy weaponry and use of explosives, they added. he camp offers 'training of a military type for the participants, and they select those that have a greater vocation for a workshop on asymmetric [guerrilla] war, which is nothing but paramilitary training that teaches civilians to shoot and techniques for the making explosives out of gas cylinders and other artifacts,' said Pérez, now the opposition candidate for governor of Tachira. Pérez added that some of the trainers come from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the largest leftist guerrilla force in the neighboring country. 'We have information that in the workshops on asymmetric war and explosives, there have been people linked to the FARC,' he said."

And BLOOMBERG here. 

Chavez's Cheap Oil Gives Him Sway Over U.S. Allies, Aid Funds -- President Hugo Chavez has figured out how to use Venezuela's vast oil reserves to increase his regional influence while diminishing U.S. clout: He all but gives it away....`All of these funds are extremely murky,' ...`The U.S. is struggling to come up with adequate alternatives to encourage or co-opt supporters within Latin America and rival Chavez's oil largesse,' says the Eurasia Group's Esteruelas....In some cases, Chavez has said he would accept goods and services as payment. In August, he suggested that the Dominican Republic could reduce its debt with tourism packages for Venezuelans...As small nations line up behind Chavez and his growing affinity for Iran and Russia, the U.S. risks fading cooperation on trade, energy projects and drug trafficking."
 
And still we wonder why these persons are wearing Chavez RED? More importantly....when will they get behind Alvaro Uribe who is, after all, a decent fellow.
Either one is....with the terrorists or.... not.
