who "play" the rest of us, using today's headline disinformation sans background, context and understanding.
Consider how nonsensical it is to believe that Hugo Chavez and/or FARC (Colombian leftist guerrillas) would seek worldwide publicity regarding the release of a hostage child whom the FARC did not hold.
It makes no sense at all. So, just on the surface of today's Associated Press headline disinformation, things don't add up. There is something fishy about this story. And if you know even a little bit about how horrible the Uribe government is, and how many billions of our tax dollars have been larded on this murderous government by the Bush Junta, and if, maybe, you caught Donald Rumsfeld's op-ed in the Washington Post on 12/1/07, days before the hostage release that Chavez had negotiated was about to mature (--also a day before the Venezuelan constitutional referendum that the Bush Cartel wanted Chavez to lose)(--Chavez lost the general referendum on the constitutional amendments by a hair--50.7% vs. 49.3%), then you understand how much is at stake for the Bush Junta in killing, embarrassing or discrediting Chavez.
See "The Smart Way to Beat Tyrants Like Chávez," by Donald Rumsfeld, 12/1/07
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/30/AR2007113001800.htmlThey have been unable to dent Chavez's popularity in Venezuela (70%) and in the region. While they were able to get the referendum turned down by a margin of less than 1%--by the infusion of millions of our tax dollars into rightwing political groups in Venezuela, through USAID/NED and covert budgets--they have been unable to break Chavez's influence in the region on the rightful use of the region's rich natural resources for the people who live there, and in building institutions of regional financial, trade, development, political and military/intelligence cooperation to counter the bullying and thuggism of the Bushites, their big corporate pals and their local rich elites.
This is about OIL, and other rich natural resources (gas, minerals, etc.). That's why Donald Rumsfeld CARES. He and Bush/Cheney are front men for the OIL CORPORATIONS. They have fucked up new access to Middle Eastern oil so badly that they are now planning CORPORATE OIL WAR II: SOUTH AMERICA.
Now do you understand why the Associated Press (which is so bad on So. American topics, that I'm pretty convinced the copy is just plain written by the Bush-purged CIA, and faxed to AP 'journalists' to submit as their own), would publicize this highly questionable and weird story from its highly questionable and horrible Bush buddy Colombian government source?
If not--if you don't understand that AP would lie to you--and has lied to you--and that this is WAR, with the Andes democracies as Oil Target II--then dig deeper. I have dug deep, and that is what I see in this and ALL AP stories and Bush Junta press releases and actions on South America over the last two years. They are engaged in economic and political warfare against the most advanced democracies in South America (Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, which also happen to be resource rich, with governments firmly committed to social justice), and will soon take it to "hot" war, as Rumsfeld promises. He wants to sweep away any fusty old "checks and balances" we may still have in our own government (for instance, Congress), so that the U.S. can act "swiftly" in support of "friends and allies" in South America (fascists thugs planning coups). The Bushites have been pouring multi-millions of dollars into weaponry and organization--for destabilization efforts that are already quite visible in Bolivia and Venezuela. Next is what FOLLOWS destabilization: intervention--a puppet government getting set up, with Bush support, then "asking" for U.S. military help. And they need to do this fast, because the sentiment in South America is for throwing the U.S. military out of the region (which Ecuador intends to do this year--non-renewal of U.S. military lease).
You wondered what Donald Rumsfeld would do in his "retirement"? Plan another oil war, that's what.
Now re-read this garbage about the hostage child, and ask yourself: What would Donald Rumsfeld do to deny Hugo Chavez credit for beneficial diplomacy? And what would his tool, Uribe, do, in his toady role? IF Rumsfeld is involved (read his WaPo piece) in this particular bit of bullshit, and if he could not "get" Chavez in other ways, how would he go about setting up a trap for Chavez? (Also, this is likely trap 2, the first being Uribe's initial invitation to Chavez to try to negotiate a hostage release, then pulling the rug out from under him, with a lame excuse, just as Chavez was about to get "proof of life." You can't tell me that that order didn't come from Washington.) Try to think like Donald Rumsfeld, with billions of stolen U.S. taxpayer dollars to work with, and the aim of restoring Exxon-Mobile's control of Venezuelan oil fields.
And also be aware that DU posters who get "played" by AP, or "play" AP games on the rest of us, are helping Donald Rumsfeld fuck over yet more millions of poor people for his super-rich puppetmasters.
