DAS planned smear campaign to sabotage NGOs

Colombia's security agency DAS planned a smear campaign to discredit NGO organizations working for Colombia's displaced and violated citizens, El Espectador has discovered in classified DAS reports.

The plan was that DAS undercover agents would infiltrate the Second National Meeting of Victims of Crimes against Humanity and Violations of Human Rights in June 2005. The agents would chant and distribute flyers amongst a crowd of protesters in an attempt to suggest links between the NGOs and guerrilla groups the FARC and the ELN.

The event was specifically targeted because it was seeking to draw attention from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), with DAS officials also aiming to obtain "audio and video recordings of the event's participants and to establish the full identity, ideology and other information of interest of the participants."

The government agency, which has been disgraced by the wiretapping scandal undertaken under President Uribe, was dealt a further blow earlier this month when former DAS official Jorge Alberto Lagos claimed that the government agency was heavily infiltrated by paramilitaries when he reviewed the organization in 2007.

1. DAS (Uribe regime) "hit lists"--paid for by you and me...

...part of the $7 BILLION in U.S. military aid to Colombia, along with U.S. military 'technical assistance' and training, U.S. State Department/ embassy cooperation, Rumsfeld "Office of Special Plans" and Bushwhack CIA covert ops, and full on Bush Junta support for every kind of oppression and crime, from the murder of thousands of dissenters to the theft of land from 5 MILLION peasant farmers.

When Alvaro Uribe stated that everyone who opposes him "is a terrorist," he was revealing a "license to kill" given to him in Washington DC. These crimes in Colombia were "made in the USA." Uribe was "our fascist" in Latin America, tasked with prepping Colombia, via murder and mayhem, for U.S. "free trade for the rich." And not only is Obama doing the follow up--giving the fascists in the ES&S/Diebold Congress something they can salivate over--the U.S./Colombia "free trade for the rich" agreement--his administration is protecting and coddling Uribe, and going to quite extraordinary lengths to do so, including spitting on Colombian judges and prosecutors (whom Uribe was spying on) by extraditing death squad witnesses to the U.S. and "burying" them in the U.S. federal prison system, and spiriting the chief spying witness against Uribe out of Colombia and getting her instant asylum in the U.S. client state of Panama--all over the objections of Colombian prosecutors.

This, and some other things, lead me to believe that there is something more going on here, than Uribe being a "mafia don," and what I think that is, is Bush Junta crimes in Colombia, not just collusion in the Uribe crime wave. Bush Junta culpability is the thing that would activate Obama/Panetta protection measures.

Possible Bush Junta crimes in Colombia may include authorization of U.S. military or U.S. military 'contractor' participation in "turkey shoots" of civilians, assisting Uribe with illegal and massive domestic spying, infiltration of "Black Eagle" death squads into Venezuela, OSP/CIA manufacture of false evidence (against Chavez/Venezuela and Correa/Ecuador), the U.S. military or 'contractor' Dyncorp dropping 500 lb U.S. "smart bombs" on Ecuador, and/or Bush Cartel cocaine trafficking.

Obama has said "we need to look forward not backward" on Bush Junta war crimes. (They teach that at Harvard Law School? Well, they do now. The Obama/Panetta team got Uribe an academic sinecure at Harvard, teaching international "law.") And that immunity would likely extend to war crimes and related crimes in Colombia, as well as in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and Bush Junta torture dungeons throughout the world. Wherever there is "tidying up" to do, for the Bush Junta, you will find Eric Holder and/or Leon Panetta with a mops, buckets and lots of trash bags.

Uribe may be getting too "hot" for them, however. There are some indications lately that they are trying to get some distance from Uribe. One of them is that their new man in Colombia, Manuel Santos, flat out contradicted Uribe the other day, on Uribe's absurd lies about Chavez and the FARC guerrillas. Uribe seems quite distressed with Santos, and that means that Uribe is likely quite distressed with how things are working out with the current U.S. administration. Uribe may be looking to the future, however. Obama can easily be replaced. A corporation with far rightwing connections (ES&S, which bought out Diebold) not controls 80% of the voting systems in the U.S. They can do whatever they want--and, looking at this Scumbag Congress--they have already exercised their awesome power of "TRADE SECRET" vote tabulation.

I just have to laugh at these old CIA tactics, but, given that thousands were murdered by this evil regime, tears are not far away. Painting all opponents of U.S. corporate/war profiteer control of Colombia was a "license to kill" issued in Washington DC.
