Colombia got $810 million in U.S. blood money in 2009 and will get another $510 million, already passed by Congress, in 2010. That will buy a lot of false positives.

n 1997 and 1998, alert U.S. Customs agents in California seized three suspicious Colombia-bound ships that, the agents discovered, were laden with 50,000 kilos of potassium permanganate, a key "precursor chemical" necessary for the manufacture of cocaine.According to a document signed by then-DEA chief Donnie R. Marshall on August 3, 2001, the ships were each destined for Medellín, Colombia, to a company called GMP Productos Quimicos, S. A. (GMP Chemical Products).The 50,000 kilos of the precursor chemical destined for GMP were enough to make half-a-million kilos of cocaine hydrochloride, with a street value of $15 billion U.S. dollars.The owner of GMP Chemical Products, according to the 2001 DEA chief's report, is Pedro Juan Moreno Villa, the campaign manager, former chief of staff, and longtime right-hand-man for front-running Colombian presidential candidate Alvaro Uribe Vélez.Mr. Moreno was Uribe's political alter-ego before, during and after those nervous 1997 and 1998 months when he awaited those contraband shipments.When Uribe was governor of the state of Antioquia from 1995 to 1997 - from its capitol of Medellín - Moreno was chief of staff in Governor Uribe's office. During those years, according to then-DEA chief Marshall, ""Between 1994 and 1998, GMP was the largest importer of potassium permanganate into Colombia."

" The lawsuit asks the Council of State to suspend the agreement pending his revocation, which would mean the suspension of all proceedings in the United States for several months.The operations for the expansion and installation of facilities for exclusive use of secret U.S. military base in Palanquero, in central Colombia, have already begun, thanks to a special appropriation from Congress, which gave $ 46 million as military construction funds

The action to suspend the installation of U.S. bases in Colombia coincided with a document from the Washington Office on Latin America, led by researcher George Withers, who worked for over ten years for the Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives, which considers that the agreement "raises military tensions in Latin America, in a disturbing trend must be reversed.

The opinion calls on the Department of Defense review of the agreement and "to reverse the increasingly aggressive posture that is playing in the region and allow the elements of U.S. national power that can effectively improve the lives of Latin American development and diplomacy to take the lead .

In recent days, several Latin American leaders have again demonstrated their concern about the agreement between Colombia and the United States. Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim has called and , told the O Globo newspaper that the Obama Administration has "to show greater openness in relations with Latin America", and highlights the "lack of transparency" that has presided over the crisis in Honduras and bases agreement in Colombia, where there are no adequate safeguards.

DEA made a crucial contribution to the coup in Honduras as the majority of the country’s army command used to be on its payroll. Much to the displeasure of DEA, Zelaya planned to purge the corrupt officers corps. The November, 29 “election” of Porfirio Lobo Sosa as the President of Honduras coincided in time with the assassination of Gen. Julian Aristides Gonzalez, director general of the National Office for Combating Drug Trafficking, by two gunmen riding motorcycles in Tegucigalpa. Reportedly, Gonzalez was going to write a book about his transactions with DEA and had a lot to tell about its ties with the Honduran cartels.

Weisbrot: “Proposed Amnesty Serves to Whitewash Honduran Coup”http://hondurasoye.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/weisbrot-proposed-amnesty-serves-to-whitewash-honduran-coup/

Washington, D.C. - The international community should offer no support for planned amnesty for the perpetrators of the Honduran coup, Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, said today.

Noting that both ousted President Manuel Zelaya and coup leaders previously agreed on a deal to resolve the crisis that did not include amnesty for crimes, Weisbrot cautioned that current efforts to grant amnesty to the coup leaders would be merely an attempt to “whitewash the coup.”

“The international community should remember that this is a regime that not only dealt a deadly blow to Honduran democracy through a military coup, it has also attempted to turn back time to a dark period of bloody dictatorships, death squads, disappearances, tortures, and murders,” Weisbrot said. “Only international pressure will stop these abuses.”

According to a 2007 issue of the Oil and Gas Journal, Yemen’s proven natural gas reserves totaled 16.90 trillion cubic feet. Construction began in 2005 to build the $4.1 billion plant to liquefy the natural gas for shipment, with Hunt Oil (part of the Bush-Cheney rat pack) holding a 17.2% stake in the project and standing to control as much as two-thirds, or 4.5 million tons of Yemen’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year. The first LNG shipments reportedly left Yemen within the last 2 months. Also integral to U.S. “interests” in Yemen is, of course, its location (location, location) on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, through which the U.S. must pass to ferry its loot.
