Colombia, over the years, has often been the world's most deadly place for journalists. Writers there have admitted in interviews that they self-censor out of fear, some journalist simply have moved out of the country after so many death threats, some continue to write, but have bullet-proof cars, body guards, and people who escort their children everywhere they go.
I have never heard anyone attacking Adriaan Alsema. You are the first, and I want to see this vital proof of his irresponsibility to the public.
Journalists in Colombia have been assassinated, gunned down in the streets, for years. He's still living. I would imagine that infuriates fascists like the ones who have run that country described as a feudal state, the same country which received over 10 billion $ between 2000 and the end of Alvaro Uribe's last term as President, the one he got after his people bribed two Colombian Senators to vote to extend his length of term to two terms, instead of the lawful one term. The Colombian government got the 10 Billion, the massive poor population got zip.
As a matter of fact, Uribe's Minister and favorite "boy" and assumed next President doled out tons of money, designated to be given to poor farmers to very RICH farmers, and even gave a large chunk of change to a former Miss Colombia. That Minister fled to the US to hide out, and is here until Colombia can get him returned to be tried for corruption.
Please spare the time to post your sources for the "goods" on Adriaan Alsema. It would be good of you to show that kind of attack coming from a credible source.
