Captured FARC Documents Link Democrats to Terror Group
It's a bit odd that this is not getting more attention.
In this photo released by Colombia's Presidency police chief Gen. Oscar Naranjo shows documents recovered from the computer of the senior commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC, killed in Ecuador during a press conference at the presidential palace in Bogota, Monday, March 3, 2008. According to Naranjo some files recovered from a laptop owned by the rebel leader known as Raul Reyes, who was killed Saturday in an operation by Colombian security forces just over the border in Ecuador, reveal that the guerillas sent money to Hugo Chavez when he was a jailed coup leader before being elected Venezuela's president and that Chavez had recently paid US$ 300 million to the FARC.

What Colombian investigators found on the FARC terror leader's computer:
-- FARC connections with Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa
-- Records of $300 million offerings from Hugo Chavez
-- Thank you notes from Hugo Chavez dating back to 1992
-- Uranium purchasing records
-- Admit to killing the sister of former President Cesar Gaviria
-- Admit to planting a 2003 car bomb killing 36 at a Bogota upper crust club
-- Directions on how to make a Dirty Bomb
-- Letter to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi asking for cash to buy surface-to-air missiles
-- Meetings with "gringos" about Barack Obama
-- Information on Russian illegal arms dealer Viktor Bout who was later captured
-- FARC funding Correa's campaign
-- Cuban links to FARC
...And, more.
Captured FARC terrorist documents link US democrats to the Colombian terrorist group. 16 documents were posted this weekend in the Spanich Semana magazine. One of the documents mentions that US Democrats were trying to organize meetings with the FARC.
The AP reported:
New docs detail Colombian rebel tiesHat Tip Suzie
The 16 documents were published Sunday by the news magazine Semana. They also detail previously unknown relationships held or sought by Latin America's oldest and most potent rebel force, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
Another discusses an apparent effort by U.S. Democrats to have celebrated novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez mediate talks with the insurgents — possibly with former President Clinton's involvement.
There is no evidence the FARC ever obtained surface-to-air missiles, however. Attempts to reach Clinton and Garcia Marquez were unsuccessful.

You won't hear about this on the MSM. They will bury this faster then a cat buries its turds. The MSM doesn't even try to pretend they are "journalists" and "news organizations" anymore-they are pure propagandists. Though I do think that if they were smart they would report the truth on this one. Why? Because if they don't the story will get out anyway. People have access to the internet and they also have printers which means that the knowledge of this will start to peak say about late August. Just in time for the circus and freak show in Denver.
Of course, it is no surprise that the Democrats are linked to FARC. They are also linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaida and most of the other major terrorist organizations on the planet.
Nahanni- So funny!
Thank you for the laugh.
And- I agree about the MSM- a corrupt bunch of lost propagandists.
You left out the obvious. The Democrats and FARC are linked because they have the same goals: a socialist dictatorship and eventual world government.
Strange, no quotes? No docs? What utter crap. Where were you back in 2004 when we reported that you hired Viktor Bout for Iraq?

CAPTURED FARC COMPUTERS NAME BARACK OBAMA
excerpt:
[6. Gringos ask appointment with the minister to ask us know your interest in talking these issues. Saying that the new president of their country will be Obama, and they are interested in his countrymen. Obama did not support Plan Colombia or signing of NAFTA. Here we responded that we are interested in having relations with all governments on an equal footing and in the case of United States requires public pronouncement in expressing its interest in talking with the FARC given their eternal war with us.]

re: [Viktor Bout]
Thailand Nabs Russian "Merchant Of Death"
excerpts:
[Police Lt. Gen. Pongpat Chayapan, head of the Crime Suppression Bureau, said Viktor Bout was arrested in a hotel in the capital, Bangkok, on a warrant issued by a Thai court following a monthlong manhunt. The warrant came out of an earlier one issued by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.]
[Police Col. Petcharat Sengchai told reporters that Bout was wanted on charges of "procuring weapons and explosives for Colombian rebels" known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. The leftist FARC has been fighting Colombia's government for more than four decades, and funds itself largely through the cocaine trade and kidnapping for ransom.]
[He has been accused of trafficking weapons through a series of front companies to war-wracked Central and West Africa since the early 1990s. U.N. reports say he set up a network of more than 50 aircraft around the world, owned by small, tightly controlled companies including Bukavu Aviation Transport, Business Air Services and Great Lakes Business Co.]
[In October 2006, President Bush issued an executive order freezing the assets of Bout and several associates and warlords in Congo and barring Americans from doing business with them. They were accused of violating international laws involving targeting of children or violating a ban on sales of military equipment to Congo.]

Speech by Nancy Pelosi (D-California), March 29, 2000
[Page: H1492]
Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi).
Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his great leadership on human rights throughout this hemisphere and throughout the world.
Mr. Speaker, it is almost impossible to listen to the chairman of the Committee on Rules claim that this is an open rule. Perhaps the word `open' to him means open only to Republicans; Democrats need not apply with amendments.
This bill has been called an emergency because we have an emergency in the drug abuse situation in our country. Indeed, we do. Mr. Speaker, 5.5 million people in America are in need of substance abuse treatment, but this rule is closed to any consideration of those people. It allows 10 minutes for an amendment to consider military assistance to Colombia in order to eradicate the coca leaf which flies in the face of all of the research on how we reduce demand in the U.S.
But do not take my word for it.
As the distinguished ranking member referred to earlier, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey), the Rand report, which was put together, the research was sponsored by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, by the U.S. Army, and the Rand's Drug Policy Research Center, this report says that for every dollar spent on treatment on demand is 23 times more effective than coca leaf eradication in the source country. What that means, Mr. Speaker, is that if one wants to reduce substance abuse in this country 1 percent, one would spend $34 million, $34 million on treatment on demand; and that 1 percent reduction in the source country would be $723 million for the same result.
Yes, we have an emergency in our country. Mr. Speaker, 5.5 million, as I said, Americans are in need of substance abuse treatment. Two million of them are receiving it, and 3.5 million people are in need.
My amendment for $600 million would have addressed the need of 5 percent of those people, 5 percent; and yet this rule closed us down to have these Members on both sides of the aisle recognize the need in our own country for treatment on demand and for prevention. It is a dollar better spent. Everyone agrees to that. It has a result that is documented, and yet we could not even have an amendment.
How can we have a drug bill on this floor that talks about the emergency of substance abuse in our country that does not allow $1 to be spent on prevention and treatment on demand? It simply does not make sense.
and then
The Gilman/Goss/Delahunt/Farr human rights condition amendment
Reps. Porter Goss (R-Naples, Florida), Benjamin Gilman (R-Middletown, New York), William Delahunt (D-Quincy, Massachusetts) and Sam Farr (D-Salinas, California) introduced an amendment that would have conditioned military assistance to Colombia on the following:
1. Agreement by the government of Colombia to a strategy to completely eliminate illicit drug cultivation by 2005;
LOL "porter goss" and "human rights" in the same sentence LOL

maremoto @ 8:59 AM..
regardless of party.. one not only needs to treat the results, but eliminate the cause..
spending more on eradicating the source assures that the need to treat the afflicted would eventually be cut off at the pass so to speak..
==
your logic is not very clear but the cause of the supply is the demand
++
maremoto @ 9:57 AM..
cut off supply.. demand takes care of itself.. or do you think the "supply" should keep flowing as to perpetuate the demand??
how do they treat addicts?? do they go to the source?? take your time thinking about that one..
==
dude, are u thick or what?
didn't u read my first post where all the studies conducted point to demand efforts being by far the most effective way of getting rid of substance abuse
besides why should other countries be forced to wage wars against billionaires created by Congress' War on Drugs and end up like Colombia and Maexico and Afghanistan etc etc ??
think about that a second ? are u slow ????
++
it's dudette..
and yes, i not only read your posts, i comprehended what you wrote.. evidently you didn't reciprocate & are now not only resorting to personal attacks, but bait & switch tactics.. both of which for me, are debate/ discussion stiflers..
==
sorry dudette
comprehended ??
just like u "comprehended" that it is impossible for interdiction and source country eradication to end the war on drugs ??
sorry lady, but u really should get up to speed on the topics u wish to opine about.

maremoto @ 10:45 AM..
[didn't u read my first post where all the studies conducted point to demand efforts being by far the most effective way of getting rid of substance abuse]
and just how does one stop the demand other
than obliterating the source of the demand??
btw: believe it or not the above excerpt backs up my opinion, go figure..

btw maremoto..
i never stated it was a "choice"..
eradicating the source in order to eradicate the demand & treating the addicted are both necessary.. hence, both need to be attended to.. it was Nancy who made it appear to be a "choice" (she can fool some of the people some of the time, etc).. as if we don't have enough failure with the ongoing substance abuse programs, whereas we have no "eradication" programs.. of which in the long run is the logical way to eradicate the demand of the addicted (i suspect the tobacco industry will be facing that hump sometime in the future as well).. watch out for those drug & tobacco lobbyists who want to maintain the "source" & treat the addicted via unlimited billions wasted in treatment vs spending initial costs of cutting off the sources that create the demand, not to mention would ultimately save more people & money when all is said & done!!
