July 23, 2010   Here below is the WALL STREET JOURNAL summarizing a very important event yesterday at the OAS wherein Colombia delivered hours of facts- not opinion nor politics- on the FARC, currently sponsored by the state/nation of Venezuela.

The OAS, under follower of Chilean Allende communist leader Jose Miguel Insulza, himself a Soros man, refused to do anything viz a viz the Colombian request to analyze the facts and corroborate the mountains of  incriminating evidence presented. Insulza stated that because Chavez did not want an independent fact based review, he/the OAS would not permit this/would not act to substantiate any facts. You may wonder what the OAS uses so much US taxpayer monies to achieve and why the massive salary packages for OAS functionaries? The USA also has a hefty “delegation” to the OAS with an ambassador thereto. Almost 2 dozen Americans are vastly overpaid paid to work in the US delegation to the OAS for reasons and work products unknown to any.  Colombia now says they will present claims for these crimes at the UN court at the Hague, average waiting list for cases still 7 to 10 years, if then.
 
As it was- and we listened late yesterday to the entire Special Session broadcast, promised as a live broadcast but was mysteriously blacked out during the LIVE event, and noted Bolivia and Nicaragua in lock step with Chavez’s demands that the FARC are not a problem ever and the evidence which claims the FARC as a terror group is a lie. Canada made a strong stance against the FARC support. Mexico, like the USA, was slightly / somewhat helpful. Oddly, Costa Rica was very strong against the FARC. Peru took to reading from the actual OAS charter for Human Rights, to which all OAS members have affixed their support but do now trounce, manipulate and ignore for their own selfish ends, currently supporting terrorist cartels.

At the OAS event, Venezuela thanked its pals for trying to terminate the factual presentation. As rotating head of the Permanent Council, Ecuador’s OAS ambassador did his best to re enact what Ecuadoreans do inside Ecuador today and to stop the OAS event and also tried to postpone and then restrict attendance, bar free speech and open media from covering the matter. When exposed, he quit. Ecuador’s Foreign Affairs minister Patino claimed Ecuador’s ambassador to the OAS [who always acted on the Correa team’s instructions], caught red handed trying to break OAS norms to assist Chavez and the FARC, was a misunderstanding.  You may want to start counting the times that Correa’s government, when caught doing dirty things, whines that they are misunderstood and someone else is at fault for their inane dishonesties.

We consider what is important is the level of fraud and deception applied by the ALBA states to lie a lot about Hezbollah, the FARC and Iran’s actors across the Americas. Yesterday’s OAS denial of need and rejection of even a review of the facts was a low point for that, in general, now stultifyingly  incompetent morass of fact-free political activists, called OAS ambassadors.

The JOURNAL writes of the FARC which,” …are no idle threat to Colombia. The FARC ranks as one of the most bloodthirsty of terrorist outfits, with specialties in kidnapping and drug trafficking and ties to terrorist groups world-wide. A too-common view of Comrade Chávez is that he is more of a colorful buffoon than a genuine menace. Yesterday's presentation should lay that myth to rest. “

Chavez and his gangs a genuine menace- a  threat?  Well of course Chavez and his cartel thugs are a threat. That the OAS denied a requested  “human rights protection” which the OAS touts as their cause celebre, for sane, law abiding citizens as championed by Colombia in lieu of promoting- aka enabling and protecting  the Cuban communist ALBA cartels reveals the shamefully unacceptable state of the OAS leadership and the individual governments which comprise the OAS today, with common sense out of reach of these so called OAS ambassadors who spoke on instructions from their own governments. Moreover, the tragedy is that the OAS reveals itself as having deteriorated in four years under current leadership grids to a roll out of  supports for manipulating, incompetence delivering, dishonest  enabling of crime cartels, now running amuck. This should come as no relief, bringing no comfort to any seeking justice. What does the OAS think its value remains?

Colombia presented some of  the aerial photographs, details of the horrifying crimes against innocents, and training camp details for over 2 hours….fact after fact.

And by the way- the “haciendas” for FARC R & R were mostly previously private Venezuelan homes, stolen by Chavez for treating his FARC & Hezbollah & Cuban military friends in luxury. Who pays for all this? Where does the money come from? Does Chavez do this to keep his cartels re-supplying him with some of their cash? Serious facts are still needed.

And the dishonest myth that Chavez’s support for the cartels is not aligned with his mercenaries and his Venezuelan military? Clearly in Chavez’s highly bifurcated mind they are fully linked as Chavez ordered his military in high dudgeon yesterday during Colombia’s fact based presentation.

REVIEW & OUTLOOK

Summer Camp for Terrorists
Hugo Chávez's R&R in Venezuela.

Whenever we think back to summer camp, memories of cookouts and songs around the piano spring to mind. If Colombian officials are to be believed, somebody in Venezuela seems to have had the same idea.

Yesterday, the Colombian government presented evidence that the narcoterrorist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, have what amounts to "summer camps" on the Venezuelan side of their common border. In a presentation to the Organization of American States, Colombian Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos charged that Venezuelan officials "tolerate the presence of these groups" and "don't carry out actions against them."

On predictable cue, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez reacted by breaking off diplomatic relations with Bogotá, ordering a "maximum alert" and suggesting it was all part of an American plot. Yet this wouldn't be the first time Caracas has been credibly suspected of helping terrorists. In March, a Spanish judge indicted a Venezuelan government official for serving as a go-between for the FARC and the Basque terrorist group ETA in a coordinated effort to assassinate former Colombian President Andres Pastrana.
Yesterday, Mr. Hoyos named farms and haciendas inside Venezuela where some 1,500 rebels "can relax, put on weight and plan attacks." The Ambassador also promised that he was ready to provide satellite images, "precise coordinates, [and] overwhelming data." Much of the intelligence seems to have come from FARC deserters who testified about the group's Venezuelan presence.

The camps are no idle threat to Colombia. The FARC ranks as one of the most bloodthirsty of terrorist outfits, with specialties in kidnapping and drug trafficking and ties to terrorist groups world-wide. A too-common view of Comrade Chávez is that he is more of a colorful buffoon than a genuine menace. Yesterday's presentation should lay that myth to rest.

We at ECrisis suggest you listen at OAS.org to the whole thing. Make up your own mind regarding perfidy, fecklessness and refusal to stand on principle.

And then ask yourself, as Colombia has done: would you trust the OAS to do one sane law abiding thing when your life is on the line?  Would the OAS stand with you to end the rapes, the kidnappings, extortion plots, and abject murders? Does the OAS make you feel safer yet?
