Colombian reporter outlines "Chavez/Correa" plan against Colombia, Obama is mentioned.
El Pais Blog ^ | March-06-2008 | Juan Manuel Ruiz

Posted on 03/06/2008 10:13:42 PM PST by ElCapitanAmericaLives

The following is my translation of the blog post by Juan Manuel Ruiz.

http://www.elpais.com.co/blogs/principal/blog1.php?b=20&n=590

Read the following with full attention: the meeting of March the 5th in the Miraflores Palace between the presidents Hugo Chavez and Rafel Correa, served so that both leaders, far from seeking to end the crisis, would agree to what could be their "plan of action" to follow win order to isolate Colombia and topple the government of Alvaro Uribe.

Sources from both governments that found out about the contacts maintained by both presidents from last Saturday, think that the general alignments for what will be the plan to follow at this moment to deal Colombia a mortal blow and the United States, will be the ones I now enumerate.

This plan can be divided into 12 basic points. I hope they are read with much attention and that you can start seeing in reality, the manner in which these events will unfold.

1. Don't eliminate the possibility of war and downplay the resolution from the OAS (Organization of American States) on the Colombian attack against the FARC in Ecuadorian territory.

2. Threaten with the withdrawal from the OAS of Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Argentina and precipitate an inter-american crisis.

3. Nicaragua, Bolivia and Argentina, considering Colombia a regional threat, will break off relationships with our country, just like Ecuador and Venezuela have already done.

4. Invite "friendly" European countries to exercise great pressure against president Uribe and to consider him a threat to the stability of Latin America.

5. Invite European and Asian countries to decrease their commercial agreements with Colombia on the basis that it is an interventionist country and a violator of human rights.

6. Wait for the election of Barack Obama so that, as president of the United State, can promote the negotiations for the humanitarian exchange, with the liberation of the 3 gringos and of Simon Trinidad and alias Sonia.

7. Take Alvaro Uribe against the International Criminal Court on charges against humanity on the basis of his alleged ties with Colombian paramilitary groups.

8. Resume direct contact with these countries, plus France and Norway, with the FARC with respect to humanitarian exchange.

9. Promote the liberation of Ingrid Betancourt in the zone that borders Venezuela and with the participation of a commission composed of 10 countries.

10. With such international pressure and an economic crisis that will be reflected to the common citizen, start the necessary contacts with Colombian political leaders to ask for the ouster of president Uribe, on the basis of having fomented and induced the discomfort of the Colombian people.

11. Prolong the circumstance as long as possible, in areas that the next Colombian president accepts international mediation for the negotiated resolution of the internal Colombian conflict.

12. Bring the FARC to the negotiating table and as a "belligerent force", so that it can lead the peaceful end to the Colombian conflict, on the basis of the a Bolivarian Constitution.

Never before have we encountered such a crisis. We are at the most crucial moment in our history.

"Does the guy have a shadow cabinet already making deals (maybe, he is less than 1 year away from the most powerful office in the world, if he wins)."

He's already been negotiating with Canada, Venezuela, Pakistan and Iraq.

Thanks for posting. We are in for interesting times-especially with Colombia left high and dry by Congress.

You update is greatly appreciated. Welcome to FR!

Prayers for our family, friends and the whole of Colombia threatened by this sick, twisted freak in Venenzuela.

Add Syria to the list BHO seems to be prematurely capitulating to.

"It appears the article is an outline of Mr. Ruiz proposed novel."

The blurb mentions that its journalist author has written a novel, but that statement accompanies his other articles too. I don't believe it's connected with the contents of the articles themselves. Though vaguely sourced -- it's supposedly what persons associated with the governments of Venezuela and Ecuador "think" ["piensan"] are the plans of their leaders) -- it indicates the concerns of many Colombians about a Chávez conspiracy against the government of their country (and incidentally against the United States).

Check out the responses to the article written by what appear to anti-communists and anti-socialists in Colombia and in Venezuela itself. Whether the particular steps envisioned in the article ever take place or not, those persons are taking the threat from Chávez very seriously.

The Clintons’ Terror Pardons
Hillary Rodham Clinton was in the midst of her state-wide “listening tour” in anticipation of her run for the U.S. Senate in New York, a state which included 1.3 million Hispanics. Three members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — Luis V. Gutierrez (D., Ill.), Jose E. Serrano, (D., N.Y.) and Nydia M. Velazquez, (D., N.Y.) — along with local Hispanic politicians and leftist human-rights advocates, had been agitating for years on behalf of the FALN cases directly to the White House and first lady.

Alas, the actions of some politicians in this country (Hillary, Obama — and perhaps McCain himself on Gitmo) may serve to undermine efforts to combat our country’s enemies. Most of the posts at the Colombian site are anti-communist and anti-socialist in tone. Of those writers — who would be expected to be natural U.S. allies — some do express confidence in the United States. Others, though, are very distrustful of us. After all, who knows what Obama or Hillary may do? I would hope that if the American left were actually to become responsible for U.S. foreign policy (more than they already are), they would greatly cut back on the comfort and encouragement that they give to our enemies. I can’t say that I’m confident about that, though.

“Does he really think France and Norway are going to go along with this?”

I am sure he is depending on the plethora of socialist idiots running those governments to go along with his stupidity.
I wouldn’t underestimate the love socialists have for Hugo.

And Scotland. Don't they have a revolutionary faction that wants independence from England?
