Something to mull over...

Why did Obama deny the plan for U.S. bases in Colombia back in August 2009? I guess he didn't get the memo.

This is definitely something to mull over...

Target Venezuela

Digging into the information about the U.S. troop increase may have negative implications to the neighboring countries, including Venezuela. Most people that have been following U.S.-Venezuela relations cannot put aside the probability of an invasion. Yes, Chavez may be playing his cards right warning the international community about the attack.

There are a number of U.S. implications that may be leading towards the repercussion of war. Let's begin with Bill H.Res.872, Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in October 27, 2009. This bill calls for the action to designate Venezuela as a state sponsor of terror. It states that Venezuela has close ties to Hezbollah, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), and Iran. The latter is obvious, since both countries are very dependent on the Oil business. Both Iran And Venezuela currently have over 35 energy agreements. The FARC has been a military movement that has been trying to overthrow the Colombian government for decades and has alleged ties with drug cartels and traffickers in the area.

Drug trafficking will also point the finger at Venezuela. There are more and more concerns addressed by the U.S. regarding drug routs, mainly the ones between South America and Africa. I have reasons to believe that in the coming months we will see the "anti drug U.S. bases in Colombia" begin to tie Venezuela to the FARC and to terrorism.

Here is a little video on the subject featuring Eva Golinger:

The beginnings...
The move to put bases in Colombia summons the new U.S. strategy to gain control over this Latin American region. Mainly because this region is most vulnerable to the movement that I call pinktideism. Let’s recollect some of the U.S. strategies that failed to prevent the continued leftward drift in Latin America.
Bolivia:
When he became the elected president of Bolivia, Evo Morales feared a Coup d'état that many warned him about. You can see the fear in his eyes as he talked about it in this film:



There has been separatist movements in some of the richest provinces of Bolivia, which include Santa Cruz, Pando, Beni and Tarija . In Santa Cruz, the movement escalated to an illegal U.S. backed referendum to declare autonomy in the region. The referendum failed.

Ecuador, Venezuela... to be continued
