John Saxe-Fernández: Open ports armed
U.S. is historic blunder.
Written by Jorge Luis Araya (jorge.arayae @ gmail.com) Semanario Universidad San José, Costa Rica. Tuesday November 16, 2010.
A Central you are applying the same recipe to Mexico, which aims to address the effects and causes of imperial policy business driven to the Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which generates economic informality and a manifestation of which is crime and drug trafficking, said Costa Rican sociologist, professor and researcher at the National Autonomous University (UNAM) in Mexico. The coordinator of the program "The World in the Twenty-first Century" by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Sciences and Humanities (CEIICH UNAM) held on 5 November 1 conversation about these and other issues of geopolitics at the Institute for Social Research University of Costa Rica, and granted an interview with University, of which this is excerpted. analyzing the regional situation, Saxe-Fernández said to be paying any attention to what is happening in Mexico, where last month he had an accumulated 30,000 casualties in the drug war since President Felipe Calderon came to power four years ago, according to official figures . And according to confidential information of the Attorney General given to the Mexican Senate has been investigated only 5% of cases.
"This seemed to me terribly important, what I had written several articles on (the newspaper) La Jornada, talking about the scheme was to annihilate the Mexican Mexico, while U.S. still doing big business, and continues to export arms the cartels in an increasingly intense. "
" is the same recipe for Central America that is very dangerous ... It is absolutely regrettable that the new president of Costa Rica, along with dwindling servants of the Legislative Assembly formally opened his the gates of ports, harbors and territorial waters to U.S. Navy at a time when U.S. militarized, and mercenaries paramilitarized its foreign policy towards Latin America. Unfortunate historical blunder to put it cautiously and not offend anyone. "What explains the spiral of violence in Mexico, not the drug?
"The material foundation of stability and social stability in Mexico and Latin America in general have been violated by the implementation of NAFTA's economic policy, with cumulative effects that can be extremely serious effects for some countries. Some countries, however, have reacted otherwise, and outputs have been able to articulate what has been a real class war against the popular economy. Then we
rearrangements in the case of Brazil, Lula, for example, where certain parameters are developed to promote economic development.
words, can articulate a non-violent way that does not destroy the nation. But with the U.S. scheme applies the same policy countries economic and literally seizes up the security policy on the country's jurisdiction. In the case of Colombia was put into operation this scheme very systematic manner with the Plan Colombia, which was initiated by a Democrat, Bill Clinton.
In Mexico, the adoption of the agenda of U.S. security by Calderon was the response of this to the electoral illegitimacy overwhelmed him because when he took power to make a runoff election.
To achieve national consensus, it tips over too well with the U.S. to launch the army into the streets and militarize the drug war, with deplorable results for social stability. This together with the number one security problem is the implementation of that policy is behind all that is the informal economy, which the drug and crime is one of the expressions.
At no time did they try to deal with the causes but the effects of this policy, and the idea is to keep the state on the verge of collapse or in the process, simultaneously emphasizing the dependence of political and security bodies country, including armed forces with the Pentagon, the Northern Command in the case of Mexico, and Southern Command in the case of Colombia, the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency).
U.S. military pressure is enormous. A significant fact about this is that the Pentagon in a report that came out this year said that global oil spare capacity runs out in 2012, and that by 2015 there will be a shortfall of about ten million barrels per day in relation to demand.
And our leaders are still out playing like we were in normal times. They do not realize that these schemes are schemes in an economy like the U.S. highly dependent world's largest consumer of oil, and consequently the impulse to use military force is very large.
Where does the fight against drug trafficking described in the schedule?
"The drug war is used as an excuse to intervene. In this there is a huge lack of information. You have to read to the grand strategists of the twentieth century and see the history of World War II to understand the importance of military bases. Open bases in Latin America, open ocean and territorial space to the U.S. Navy formally is a real atrocity.
bases in Colombia to face Brazil and Venezuela, will allow U.S. have a minute watch with huge natural resources.
geostrategic In games favored by the national security apparatus in Mexico and extension to Central America and the Caribbean, there are four basic elements: weapons, drugs, business and chaos. There are four elements that operate under a system of imperial colonial rule, and that the Bush administration called "stabilization and reconstruction operations."
This scheme inserts the doctrine of "soft border", which are the boundaries of other states, not U.S. which will not let him get one if you do not have a visa but will pass to another country, leading to a weakening of the sovereignty or jurisdiction of national states.
is a dynamic in which U.S. intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, Pentagon plays a role in the relationship business and protection of global drug trafficking and weapons. This was illustrated by example in the Iran-Contras, who was a covert CIA operative to support Reagan's war against the Sandinista revolution, using money from illegal arms and drugs. You call U.S.
narcopotencia ...
The U.S. not in any way control the course of weapons where the posters, on the contrary, a few months ago was relaxed further arms exports. And it is meant that the U.S. is a narcopotencia. Here are the main scrubbers which are major banks. Without the financial system, the drug does not work. In addition, U.S. is the main consumer market, more than seven million addicts.
Arms sales revenue generated large U.S. companies, and going to the major drug cartels, who have plenty of money deposited in the U.S. And then through the Merida Initiative weapon for armies fighting drug traffickers. Then it's a windfall of double track.
There are also hundreds of U.S. special forces operating undercover. Documents released in the Wikileaks site indicate a heightened presence of U.S. special forces in 19 Latin American countries operating under cover. These are issues of military expansion of the program tracks the stabilization and reconstruction of the Department of Defense is underway in Mexico and Central America, riding a huge human trauma crowded morgues in Mexico. With a number of unimaginable atrocities, as happened last week (three weeks for the reader.)
players are 12 students, entering a military squad, no one knows where, with 15 black vans in an area occupied by the police and the Mexican army. Strafe the guys at 16.17 and 18, kill them and go. What has this to do with the drug business? What What is it? Is the result of the militarization of the fight against drugs. That is, dollars are going north, go south armamentp large quantities of bullets and batteries cdáveres.
