Re: [Marxism] Morales reaffirms refusal to sign US's Free Trade Areadeal

Sounds about right, given the proximity of Sucumbios and Orellana to the
Putumayo region of Colombia, the area of greatest potential for new oil
reserves; the area where the FARC has taken refuge.   Sort of the point
of  "The Importance of Being Ecuador."  Not to jump ahead, but to jump
ahead-- US foments "Balkanization" of Ecuador, Bolivia, as part of Plan
Colombia, The New Old New Granada.  Or.... in modern terms-- Gated (Oil)
Communities with Ted Bundys as the gatekeepers.
