The government of Juan Manuel Santos is no different to maintain the capitalist model that is sustained in power by using all forms of struggle including paramilitary narco mafias and medially show changes in his cabinet as the best cop in the world and its announced new housing minister, trying to improve its image that has been injured in recent days after the Summit of the Americas and the results of the surveys.
We propose to show the gear state, government, media, financial groups, Military forces, paramilitaries and drug traffickers that while people say and what is right, that these powerful what they offer is misery and repression. But that fourth generation warfare in which we operate mimic it.
The government's response has been to war. On the one hand its military emphasis is expressed in the 23 billion pesos in the National Development Plan to support the disproportional costs of military operations and militaristic propaganda despite the social and fiscal unsustainability representing war. The operation of the security forces in the next three years of war, cut the budgets of health, education, sanitation and social welfare for Colombians. And recent debates on military justice and the creation of universal soldier over the objection of conscience. In developing the bombastic war plan, such as the so-called 'Sword of Honor' ..., bombarded with 12 aircraft of the Air Force and Army, among Supertucano planes and helicopters equipped with sophisticated technology that detects metal and warmth to attack and strafe in the shadow of the night, killing many civilians and animals of the peasants living in areas of conflict. The war plan "Sword of Honor" are the frontline soldiers who are also with the call of the commander of military forces to unite and massively so-called "universal soldier".
The financial bourgeoisie is not far behind, see: Banco Santander shares in investment funds from arms companies for almost 100 million euros, has issued bonds for 154 million and has given 705 million credits for companies such as: BAE Systems, Boeing, EADS, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin are among the companies where these banks have invested funds. Not only manufacture nuclear weapons, drones and missiles, but also of small arms, cluster bombs and anti-personnel mines that have confused many children with toys and candy. Banco Santander has EUR 3 million in bonds Finmeccanic, an Italian arms that held shares of the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), which used the weapons to repress the civilian population. BBVA has invested millions and Rymsa Hispasat, which sometimes made weapons used against civilians in massacres that outraged public opinion. What these banks will refuse to families in an economic crisis is invested in arms and polluters. They made their investments, mainly mining, which was coupled to a process of territorial militarization, criminalization of the exercise and the planning of megaprojects.
It is no secret connivance of sections of the army to paramilitary groups. State officials supported the paramilitaries in the murders of Mario Calderón, Elsa Alvarado, Jaime Garzon and many others. In any urban paramilitary action, always have the support of the security forces. Gonzalo Colonel Plazas Acevedo, known by the alias 'Don Diego', who was the Army B2 was sentenced to 40 years for kidnapping and murder of Israeli industrialist Benjamin Khoudari but flew on July 25, 2003 School cavalry in Bogota since been a fugitive from justice. The alliance with the Fourth Brigade of the Army, including General Mario Montoya, the Army, Leonardo Gallego, the police and many others which we state in the editorial above. These great men of good, the highest Colombian society.The Cream!. They are those who continue to interfere in national life.
The phenomenon of drug trafficking has allowed them to maintain power, as the Colombian economy, prosperity, rich, the vulgar use of the National Drugs Fund as state capitalist formula for the expropriation of large fortunes as a way to divide between them the bourgeoisie and imperialists. Have been sustained thanks to the huge profits of smuggling, transporting cocaine consuming countries such as the United States. This phenomenon played by growers, who are the least beneficiaries, who are farmers in areas vacated by the state, they are forced to grow coca in large quantities for purposes of processing of cocaine, but did not become great potentates . The juicy earnings are the major exporters, the capitalists who are tearing their hair, those who pay the police to let them out of the country's cocaine, that's what gives it value, not going very far, recently a plane landed, under the pleasure of the Air Force in the Uraba region and from there went to Honduras. A kilo of cocaine at the border with Mexico may cost eleven thousand U.S. dollars, but within the United States costs one hundred twenty thousand U.S. dollars. Colombia remains the leading producer of alkaloid in the world and, just as the largest supplier of U.S. market, which annually consume 150 to 160 tons of the drug. 90% of the cocaine comes from Colombia, 80% of total traffic through Central ago, which is the South American drug runner destined to the United States via Mexico. At the time, coca plantings are maintained with the entry of inputs for the processing of cocaine with the support of the police to transport cocaine. One consequence less named when exploring the drug trafficking mafia is the participation of the state.
As if all this were not enough, the purchase of the newspaper El Tiempo by the businessman Luis Carlos Sarmiento, another business is not for this employer. Is neither more nor less, in a step towards the consolidation of its economic empire via the control of a type of company that does not always dedicated to inform, but to control the mental structures. The power, the capitalist model is in the light of all companies without first putting their advertising in the media, now or claim to be the owners of these media. And that control is important not because of economic performance but by the ability to impose the way it is stated reality. In other words, the media have the power to articulate.
The Colombian State is responsible, through law enforcement, drug dealers, bankers, media, paramilitary groups, death, to keep the poor people in drug abuse, disappearance and abduction of thousands of people. Also de-keeping almost 50% of the population in poverty. In fact, Colombia is now the most unequal country in South America.
This national unity with its tradition of slaughtering the people with their war of State in different ways along different decades, is precisely what has led us to take up arms.
We always have that commitment to peace and be making to the extent that national unity listen to the poor, who have personally suffered this inequality and set all the ways we inhabit the territory, the ways we consume the earth's resources in day to day ways of thinking about development and the good life.
