What's up with free trade in Colombia? Pete Guither
DWR: Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I have to admit that I really don't understand the Colombian free trade deal that's such a big deal these days. Sure, I get some of the broad strokes, but I haven't read enough to know what the impact will be (and quite frankly, much of what I have read doesn't really tell me anything).

But boy, in recent days, you'd almost think the Drug Czar was the Free Trade Czar.

In a startling expose in the current issue of The Nation, writer Ken Silverstein uncovers the shocking tale of Gore’s historical super-close connection to the giant Occidental Petroleum company, its ongoing attempts to despoil the U’wa tribal ancestral homeland, and the shady role the Clinton administration is playing behind the scenes.

Free to trade health for others profit.
Buying Monsanto roundup then their subsidiary Searle Pharmaceuticals treating the higher doses. Sikorsky and the Teamsters don't care who buys their copters. Green Hornet air monkies or dyncorps shooting down Missionaries. No one snorts coca leaves, that requires Wallstreet chemicals and lab equipment. Invent Ganja laws for slave labor, prisons and supplies, that keep taxes here. Get em sick then sell em pills... geterdone! Another step towards that ole Neocon Neolib New Weird Odor from the World Trade Orchestration to Mexamericanada... DdC

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow, Why man, this is war au-go-go. There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade, Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, They drop it on Colombia.
Country Joe & the Fish ...

Come you masters of war. You that build all the guns. You that build the death planes. You that build the big bombs. You that hide behind walls. You that hide behind desks. I just want you to know. I can see through your masks.

Freak Trade * Free Raids

Free Trade was a noble deed, when hand shakes and honesty meant something. We shall build great ships, at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but we shall build great ships... Necessity is no longer the mother of invention. Producing profits has become the Neocon and Neolib mantra. Especially spending tax money to produce more tax income. Enron, Arthur Anderson, Cheney's secret oil deals, Media conglomeration with the FDA/Pharmaceuticals and EPA/Ag-Poison Inc. Science controlled by politicians. Lose weight instantly, turn back the scale! "producing profits" maintaining dysfunction through education depravation.

Hundreds of Wallstreet companies doing the same damn creative ledgers. 9/11- instant paper shredder. A selected buffoon becomes an instant hero and thousands of red and blue sheep spasmed their Iraqi crude oil China made sweatshop flags, at the National Guard kids they were shipping overseas to die in the Sadamn desert. Those affording a ticket out, stayed home. 18 years, old enough to take a bullet, but not smoke a joint. Think of that gd message Nancy No No...

Police actions since Mission Accomplished thousands of days and $500 billion ago. OK by Halliburton. Lockheed don't mind. Dyncorps GM GE and Exxon Chevron and Dacron camouflage think it's just fine. General Bush lies to start the war. Neolibs are tired of fussing, and his CEO soldier servants just smile at the camera's and send more to die. Hundred years, who gives a shit, we're making money!

McCain holding hands with Phil Gram, the Neocon †exxon taking food stamps from alleged druggies, for life. Can't sustain a Fascism on a measly Ganjawar. Frickin' Russian hippies screwed up the Cold War profits. Stopping Ganja research and hiding discoveries went over ok, surely dipping the white powder stocks if they let it get out. Holding production of solar panels, more efficient engines or biomass and biodiesel. Bait and switch corn to saboutage alternatives. 80/20 economic ratio now hitting 95/5. Millions of millionaires and millions hungry and homeless. They're still getting away with price gouging and Ganjawar "politicop science".

Some are already bitching about 2 1/4 million Americans caged in the Prison Industrial Stism. Plea bargain pisstasters squeeze out confessions, then risk mandatory minimum jury's or turn in somebody and piss in a cup, for only $50 bucks a pop. Prison paraphernalia catering meals, laundry and instant neighborhoods built for the Security Forces with their SUV's and lawnmowers. The country has become one big unhappy band aid factory, where the citizen employees are forced to walk barefoot over broken glass floors..

Side stepping the Bill of Rights doesn't enter into their minds. It's just a paycheck. Taxes back to Bush to outlaw or demonize something else. About time for another Ganja hobgoblin. Ganja could, might, possibly, maybe, seems like, doesn't seem like, couldn't, doesn't, any known, depends on what "is" is. Depends on what "victim" is. How many more decades until the government finds an actual victim of their reefer mad theories, hunches and bogus testing. Headlines blasting definite maybes before any reform legislation or decision. Even the most naive can grasp the obvious if repeated enough. The D.E.A.th list of bogus bogeymen pseudo-science is getting shorter. Repeating their lies just makes them look silly. Yet somehow it continues.

It's those Naturalists with their Free organic home grown nutrition and preventive herbs and Ganja stress reduction. The base of illness, and profits "treating" them. Prohibitionists good deeds justify lies, prison rape, home pillage, child kidnapping and flat out murder. Blackwater Drug Enforcement, the glove of the D.E.A.th, leaving no finger prints. Demonizing, degradation, stigmatizing, shunning, threats. Banning, taunting swiftboat censorship programmed by Howling mad Faux News hounds. Ah just chug a few legal beers and forgetaboutit!

We spend alot of money fighting the war on drugs only to backfire on us.

Case 1: P.E.P.E's / Escobar / CIA

Pablo Escobar was a the coke man in columbia.
P.E.P.E.'S were a rival drug cartel family "People Pursued by Pablo"
CIA supplied the PEPE's with inteligence (the works, etc.)
The Columbian police w/ the PEPE's are suppose to arrest Pablo,
Instead it was an assasination, tracked down by the CIA.

The PEPE's now contol the drug trade in Columbia. (using car bombs)

Case 2. Zetas - Mexico's Elite Anti-Drug Sky-Diving Anti-Insugency Commando Unit

After having the U.S. spend time money for their "hyper elite" training:

Recon
counter insurgency
counter intelligence (CIA shit)
guerilla warfare
explosives
Advanced Military Tactics
You name it these guy's "were" COMMANDOS

Soon after the Zeta's went "operational" ...

They swithched sides,
offering their services to the highest bidder
in the northern border cartel war for acces to U.S.

That's why cops & journo's are being killed
and why the military had to be called in.

And that is why Mexico is now Constantly Exploding.

It's turning into a massive underground drug corridor.

Fueling the perpetual war on drugs.

Columbia is next.

I will also admit that I don't understand the details of the Free Trade agreement with Columbia. I did, however, see this editorial is the Washington Post yesterday. The Post's editorial page is usually pro-Free Trade.

Quote:

Drop Dead, Colombia
Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocks a trade deal with America's closest South American ally.

THE YEAR 2008 may enter history as the time when the Democratic Party lost its way on trade. Already, the party's presidential candidates have engaged in an unseemly contest to adopt the most protectionist posture, suggesting that, if elected, they might pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared her intention to change the procedural rules governing the proposed trade promotion agreement with Colombia. President Bush submitted the pact to Congress on Tuesday for a vote within the next 90 legislative days, as required by the "fast-track" authority under which the U.S. negotiated the deal with Colombia. Ms. Pelosi says she'll ask the House to undo that rule.

The likely result is no vote on the agreement this year. Ms. Pelosi denies that her intent is to kill the bill, insisting yesterday that Congress simply needs more time to consider it "in light of the economic uncertainty in our country." She claimed that she feared that, "if brought to the floor immediately, [the pact] would lose. And what message would that send?" But Ms. Pelosi's decision-making process also included a fair component of pure Washington pique: She accused Mr. Bush of "usurp[ing] the discretion of the speaker of the House" to schedule legislation.

That political turf-staking, and the Democrats' decreasingly credible claims of a death-squad campaign against Colombia's trade unionists, constitutes all that's left of the case against the agreement. Economically, it should be a no-brainer -- especially at a time of rising U.S. joblessness. At the moment, Colombian exports to the United States already enjoy preferences. The trade agreement would make those permanent, but it would also give U.S. firms free access to Colombia for the first time, thus creating U.S. jobs. Politically, too, the agreement is in the American interest, as a reward to a friendly, democratic government that has made tremendous strides on human rights, despite harassment from Venezuela's Hugo Chávez.

To be sure, President Bush provoked Ms. Pelosi. But he forced the issue only after months of inconclusive dickering convinced him that Democrats were determined to avoid a vote that would force them to accept accountability for opposing an agreement that is manifestly in America's interest. It turns out his suspicions were correct.

"I take this action with deep respect to the people of Colombia and will be sure that any message they receive is one of respect for their country, and the importance of the friendship between our two countries," Ms. Pelosi protested yesterday. Perhaps Colombia's government and people will understand. We don't.

Free Trade has been real good to the RGV. (real good!)

Lots of businesses, lots of homes, entertainment, lots more of "everything"

,
all new growth.

Suck for middle america though?

All those little nicknacks parts metal stamped fastners or plastic injected mold
that you order to replace parts comes from the Mexican border and free trade.

The guts are made in Mexico,
but the entire "t.v., radio, watch" is assembled in the U.S.
"tah dah" Made in U.S.A.

And as long as the parts don't go beyond the "Free Trade Zone" there are no tariffs on either country.

Cheap labor on one side, the Name and logo and prestige on the other.

Looks like they want to tap into the resourse of more "Human Capital"

With the cheap products, so come the displaced people.
