A-list message, [A-List] Fw: MNN Flogging "Old Washington Mule" in 'Latin' Ame

?W.O.L.A.? FLOGGING ?OLD WASHINGTON

MULE? IN ?LATIN? AMERICA

MNN. Dec. 18^th, 2007. Late last Wednesday night a call came from

Akwesasne, ?What?re you doing?? The response was, ?Nothing!?

The next question was, ?Wanna go down to New York City for a

meeting?? The answer was, ?Sure!? The next morning two

Mohawks, one from Kahnawake and another from Kanehsatake,

met up with two other Mohawks from Akwesasne in Upstate New

York for the long drive in the pick up truck to the big Apple.

The meeting was across from the Empire State Building. WOLA

is the ?Washington Office on Latin America?. It started in 1973

under the Jimmy Carter administration and was connected to the

?Trilateral Commision?. Today they work with the ?Council on

Foreign Relations? and are funded by Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller

and other big-time right wing foundations and corporations. The

main honchos were Joy Olson, Vicki Gass, Margaret Crayhan* and

Kenneth Paul Erickson [kenneth.erickson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx], all

?scholars?. WOLA?s secretary-treasurer and president is Charles

Currie, SJ [Society of Jesuits] which governs the ?Association of

Jesuit Colleges and Universities? in Washington DC.

They were surprised to see us four Mohawks there. No one talked

to us or introduced themselves. They couldn?t figure out where we

came from, even though they were on Haudenosaunee territory.

A 14-page executive summary was handed out called, ?A Fresh

Approach to U.S. Policy in Latin America?, which is meant for

whichever party wins the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Democrats

or Republicans, it?s all the same! This looks like hard core evidence

of the U.S. President?s plan for our people in South America.

?There are about 300 million people in ?Latin? America, the majority

being Indigenous people. More than half live in poverty, 80 million

in extreme poverty?. The oligarchs have greatly escalated their

income and wealth since 1990 by deforestation, mining, logging and

industry which have contaminated the air, land and water throughout

the hemisphere. This rape of the land has caused suffering and

devastation to Indigenous people.

George Bush?s failed policy was criticized. They?re coming up with

a new ?partnership? between the U.S. and ?Latin? America [and

Canada too! It sure looked like they were dictating Canadian policy.

Hey, haven?t they heard that feudalism is illegal?] Their main

concern is combating the immigration and drug trade that has been

coming into the U.S. They cited international criminal cartels,

immigration, proliferation of arms into the ?wrong hands? and the

security of the minority oligarchs who control these countries on

behalf of the U.S. and Europe. The long and the short of it is that

if any profit is to be made, the U.S. oligarchs want a share. They?ll

take our assets but not our liabilities from the damage they?ve

caused to the environment.

Because of the tremendous disparity between rich and poor, violence

is escalating. When the poor don?t even have enough to live on, what

have they got to lose? According to WOLA, ?42% of all homicides in

the world are happening in Latin America which has 6% of the world?s

population!? Where are these guns coming from? This sets up the

excuse to go in there with more and lethal cops. They forgot to mention

all the violence the U.S. is causing worldwide, such as in Iraq and

Afghanistan. They need to create a calamity to get control of South

America like they engineered in the Middle East?

Their idea of a ?fresh approach? is for the new U.S. president to

visit ?Latin? America to tell them about his new fresh approach for

them; to strengthen the colonial ?democratic? government the U.S.

is trying force on everybody all over the world [which is also known

as ?social restructuring?]; to support the U.N. Millenium

Development Goals as set out by the U.S.; to pep up the Mexico-U.S.

-Canada partnership to control all trade and commerce on Turtle

Island; to reform immigration so that everyone has ?documents? or

they are left to die; to curtail drug use by stopping the messy

spraying program that has been going on since 1981; to close

Guantanamo Bay detention facility so detainees can be put

somewhere else ?out of sight and out of mind?; and to lift the ban on

travel to Cuba so the gambling lords can get back in and take over

the island and the lucrative tourism trade.

The Latin American oligarchs fear the Indigenous people who want

a share of their own resources. ?Insecurity is a growing concern?,

WOLA said. Latin America?s growing independence is especially a

?problem?.

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are losing their

influence since Hugo Chavez started paying off their loans and debts.

You?d think that the WB and IMF would be happy that these people paid

off their debts. No way, Jose! It means they have no KONTROL. Oh!

oh! Venezuela, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil and Bolivia just

set up their own central bank, to ?wean the regions off IMF and WB?.

They want to make it easier for the poor to get loans. The U.S. and

Europe are losing control and influence fast!

?Latin? America was run by deadly military dictatorships that were set

up and trained by the U.S. at the ?School of the Americas?, formerly in

Georgia. Now that democratic institutions through fair elections are

taking over, past subversive brutality and oppression promoted by the

U.S must change. Colonists are not used to egalitarian sharing of

power and resources. In light of this, ?Policing, the judiciary [and

prison systems] must be upgraded?, WOLA said. USAID in Venezuela

recently got $48 million to destabilize President Hugo Chavez in the

recent referendum on the constitution. Venezuela has shown it does

not need the U.S. and have cut off all ties, which worries the U.S. They

referred to the U.S. relationship with Hugo Chavez as ?two scorpions

in a bottle? no matter who bites first, both will die?.

WOLA?s idea of consultation is to speak to the oligarchs. Their main

concern is that U.S. credibility is low. [As if this is news!] Anti-

Americanism is running high worldwide [Same old, same old. We?re

not wondering why!]

The oligarchies are U.S. and European puppets of a passé paradigm

playing ?I?m the king of the castle? on their little dung heaps, when

everyone else has gone off to the strawberry festival. Trouble is they

are obsessed with turning the whole world into a dung heap. Their

long range plan is to set up one world government with one ruler.

Dream on. Haven?t they read their history? This has never worked.

Nature loves diversity. It even has a place for crazies like them.

WOLA?s main idea is the training of modern professional para-military

police and other law enforcement and criminal justice officials, with

what appears to be oligarchical oversight. They foresee police

academy training and indoctrination, human rights [meaning forcing

us to be their slaves], due process, leadership development, more

effective patrol structures directed at the communities [like curfews?],

internal and external controls, and community-oriented policing.

[Don?t forget folks, these people want to be the only game in town. If

they get their way, we?ll all be forced to play cops and robbers whether

we want to or not. They have a lot of private jails to fill and they?re

planning more.] Specialized police units with specific policing

techniques and equipment [probably taught by the likes of BlackWater!]

Develop detective units and a comprehensive ?snitching? system to

help police gather evidence to increase conviction rates.

They?re looking for more ways to criminalize us. The U.S. says their

policies ?protect civil and human rights, facilitate family linkages

across borders and regularize the immigrants? status in the U.S.?!!

They must be deliberately blind! The wall that cuts through the

middle of Tohono O?odham territory on the so-called Mexico-U.S.

border is leading to deaths from exposure and dehydration. The

$40 billion de-foliage spraying program along with the fall of the U.S.

dollar have made drugs cheaper. [Are the drug cartels switching to

the Euro?] Spraying killed off crops leading to starvation, death and

birth defects forcing people to look for somewhere else to go so they

can survive. [?Agent Orange? all over again, like in Vietnam!] Heaven

help those who try to go to the U.S. which authored the destruction of

their homelands.

U.S. wants democratic governments where people can vote ?until they

get it right?. By right they mean ?might? - ?It?s my way or the highway,

not the one that runs across our [imaginary line] border. We don?t

want to see you. We just want to tell you what to do.? In other words,

the U.S. has become a caricature of the British when they sought their

own independence from them.

Once again we witnessed people making policy for somebody else.

Colonialism! Colonialism! Colonialism! They were very careful about it,

like someone trying to make love so there is no pregnancy. Every word

was weighed carefully and ?condomized? before it was presented, so

that we could not see the ?banality that hides the evil?. But, Hey! Man!

A rape is a rape even if you?re wearing a condom. Do they think that

people can?t see when evil is staring them in the face? Some are even

forced to go along with a rapist when they see they have no choice.

Threats are couched in light language, bubbling altruistic froth over the

real purpose - to maintain coercive power and control.

WOLA is an expert at ?government-speak?. Those hungry for power

know what is being said, that they plan to kill the real people of ?Latin?

America. They said it so nicely. They thought they were so convincing

that the ?Latin? Americans can?t wait for it to happen! They may in for a

surprise!

*Margaret Crayan?s expertise is Latin American history and politics,

religion [including the Catholic Church], human rights, truth commissions,

women, the military, extensive field work in Latin America including Cuba,

?Post Authoritarian Societies? [?], civil society [meaning the police]. She

has published 80 papers and is working on ?Religion and Politics?. The

Council on Foreign Relations published her research on the ?City and the

World: New York?s Global Future? in 1997.
