Colombian Amazonian snipers fighting for Gadaffi

[rabs]

Moonie story written by one of its loonies, Ashish Kumar Sen, is good for a laugh.

The info comes from the famous "Magic Laptop" of Reyes and of course the women snipers are from the FARC.

Try not to giggle uncontrollably as you read the story. :-)

Libyan rebels: Colombian female snipers fighting for Gadhafi

The Washington Times April 13--

Libyan rebels are receiving reports that female snipers from Colombia have joined other mercenaries fighting to keep dictator Moammar Gadhafi in power.

No Colombians have been captured or killed, but rebels this week said they have received accounts of their deadly marksmanship from pro-Gadhafi prisoners and from eyewitnesses in the besieged city Misurata, the largest city in western Libya still under partial rebel control.

Rebel sources said the Colombians are part of a wider force of snipers firing from vantage points atop buildings in Misurata.

“They are shooting to kill,” said Khalid, a doctor in Misurata who gave only his first name. He said most of the injured have head, chest and neck wounds.

The account of the female warriors from Colombia came this week as rebels identified a host of foreigners fighting for the Gadhafi regime or supplying the dictator with valuable material. Mercenaries are paid up to $1,000 a day, according to some reports.

The presence of the South American mercenaries suggests that Col. Gadhafi could be recruiting fighters from the communist rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by their Spanish initials, FARC.

FARC has long-standing ties to the Gadhafi regime, according to information found on the computers of Raul Reyes, a rebel commander killed by Colombian soldiers in 2008. One computer included a Sept. 4, 2000, letter to Col. Gadhafi, asking for a loan of $100 million to buy weapons.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said this month that it is “clear … that still has connections to Gadhafi.”

“Libya even offered them $300 million. But we don’t know whether FARC actually received the money,” he said in an interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine.

FARC also has highly trained female fighters capable of handling modern firearms, said Jaime Daremblum, a former Costa Rican ambassador to the United States who is director of the Center for Latin American Studies at the Washington-based Hudson Institute.

2. These amazons must be many thousands of years old. I wouldn't want to be on their bad side, would U?

Downright indestructible by now.

My God, rabs, you just said UPI has deteriorated radically, but this has to be a new low for them!

Whoooo! :scared:

I couldn't make it past the 2nd page of the Times article. It's "deja vu all over again", isn't it?

God bless that magic computer which duplicated itself within a couple of weeks in order to hold all the information spanning decades, apparently, while going into the future, in some cases! Imagine Raul Reyes lugging all that material with him, even into the temporary encampment in Ecuador, while he was living "on the run!" Simply amazing. And to realize the bombs which slaughtered him outright somehow didn't harm his computer which later became multiple computers which they found completely intact.

I'm also very concerned about how the Greeks knew about the FARC female sharpshooters in order to name their mythological female warriors after them! Time travel!

3. My rule of thumb on Bush-like entities: The opposite is true.

The exact opposite of this would be that Colombia's government or military or a private fascist cabal has sent their "Black Eagle" death squadders to get a piece of the action with Libya's rebel forces. But it could also be Blackwater or a similar private mercenary group, sent by the CIA or maybe connected to the Bush Cartel mafioso meeting of 2/22/11 that Judi posted here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=405x51320

(Meeting of George H. Bush, George W. Bush, Alvaro Uribe, Martin Torrijos, Jose Maria Aznar, at Gustavo Cisneros' Quinta Serenisima in Casa de Campo.)

If the latter, it could be about Libya's oil, since what is really going on in Libya is "who is going to control the oil?".

The purpose of fascist snipers may be to kill off good rebel leaders and help install the next dictator of Libya, possibly to break Libya's oil nationalization and re-privatize the oil.

And the purpose of articles like this (Amazon guerrillas in Libya) is to send out a lot of flak (false stories, opposite stories) as pre-emptive cover (distraction, confusion).

My "rule of thumb" on Bushwhacks is a useful tool not only in determining what is true (the opposite of what they assert, as an initial presumption) but also in determining what they are doing or planning to do, by what they accuse others of doing (projection; flak-creation).

A simple example would be, they accuse Saddam Hussein of possessing and intending to use WMDs, while THEY proceed to blow 100,000 Iraqis to smithereens in the "shock and awe" bombing of Baghdad.

But a more recent example is near to hand, involving the Black Eagles and the FARC. The Bush Junta and Alvaro Uribe concocted the lie that Hugo Chavez was "harboring" FARC guerrillas (probably with the help of Rumsfeld's "Office of Special Plans" on the "miracle laptops"). It was recently revealed, however, that the Black Eagles were the ones infiltrating Venezuela's border areas under direction of Uribe's own "Office of Special Plans"--the DAS--to seize control of Venezuelan border provinces with murder and mayhem, destabilize and topple the Chavez government and assassinate Chavez.

The false FARC stories were cover (flak) for this fascist death squad infiltration of Venezuela--is how my "rule of thumb" would read it.

Or--using this "rule of thumb" as a guide--the false FARC stories could be cover for something even deeper and harder to see: Bush Cartel control of the trillion dollar-plus cocaine revenue stream coming out of Colombia. The Bush Junta likely used the corrupt, murderous, spectacularly failed U.S. "war on drugs" to transfer FARC coca farms and cocaine routes, and those of any other independent, non-cooperating drug entrepreneurs, to their own favored big drug operatives and gangs, to direct this huge revenue stream to U.S. banksters, the CIA and themselves--the Bush Cartel.

Both things could be true--effort to topple Chavez by (among other things) spreading Colombia's fascist murder and mayhem project into Venezuela AND consolidation and direction of the immensely lucrative cocaine revenue stream. Getting control of Venezuela's oil may actually be secondary to the Bushwhacks but also important, of course. They want control of whatever big revenue stream exists and it must frost their asses that Venezuela's oil revenues are being "wasted" on putting books into children's hands and improving their nutrition, and providing medical care for all, etc.

My only hesitation about the purpose of this "Amazon guerrillas" story is that it's the Washington Times. Important flak stories are more generally planted in more "respectable" outlets starting with the New York Slimes. We'll see, though, if the WT is just the beginning point of this one. If it spreads, then I can more safely surmise that it is flak covering somebody's fascist/death squad operation in Libya.

There is another possibility--considering the story and its provenance in the WT--and that is that it's part of Uribe's and the U.S. far rightwing's war plan (possibly involving Pentagon fascists) for Latin America, to be triggered when they Diebold Obama out of office in 2012. As Uribe revealed in his final weeks in office--with his inappropriate and lying charges against Chavez about "harboring" FARC guerrillas--his stated purpose was to get an "international" military force to invade Venezuela and eliminate the FARC guerrilla camps he said were in Venezuela. What was weird was that he had only a few weeks left in office. Why was he trying to trigger a war incident at that point? it may just be that Uribe is not the brightest bulb in the room and simply gave away part of the war plan that was nowhere near maturity--just to score points. Or maybe he thought Santos was on board for the war plan (he doesn't seem to be), or possibly several entities (Santos, CIA, State Dept.?) tricked him (Uribe)--lied to him--to get him out. What he proposed was SO unrealistic, in the current LEFTIST political climate in Latin America, that it was...well, weird. Was this Uribe just being totally out of touch, or what?

Amazon guerrilla warriors in Libya is just the sort of thing warmongers always use to stoke up hatred and justify unjust wars (i.e., the Washington DC P.R. firm's false stories about Iraqi soldiers unplugging babies' incubators in Iraq War I). It is visceral. But which war is this one directed at? (Or, which war is this one primarily directed at?) And which covert operation is it intended to provide flak cover for? Is it for future use of the FARC as part of a false narrative for war on Venezuela, or is it using past lies about the FARC as the covering narrative for foul deeds in Libya?

I don't think we should just dismiss it as absurd. I think we should ask, what does it reveal when you apply my "rule of thumb" for Bushwhacks (that the opposite is true)? (--as I tried to do above.) What is its purpose? Why was it published? Is it just garbage--for the general purpose of turning public discussion into a stinking, rotten landfill? Or is it a strategic plant? Obviously, I'm favoring the latter--something going on in Libya that this is flak for. But it could be just more rightwing farts into the newsstream for general pollution purposes.
