BOGOTA – The regime that ousted Manuel Zelaya in Honduras claimed
Tuesday that the deposed president allowed tons of cocaine to be flown
into the Central American country on its way to the United States.

"Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without
the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of
pounds ... and packages of money that are the fruit of drug
trafficking," its foreign minister, Enrique Ortez, told CNN en
Espanol.

"We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The
DEA has it," he added.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne in
Washington said he could neither confirm nor deny a DEA investigation.

Zelaya was traveling from New York to Washington and could not
immediately be reached to respond to the allegations.

Honduras and other Central American nations have become major
transshipment points in recent years for Colombian cocaine,
particularly as Mexico's government cracks down on cartels.

The drugs arrive in Honduras on non-commercial aircraft from Venezuela
and increasingly in speedboats from Colombia, according to the Key
West, Florida-based Joint Interagency Task Force-South, which
coordinates drug interdiction in region.

In its most recent report on the illicit narcotics trade, the U.S.
State Department said in February of Honduras that "official
corruption continues to be an impediment to effective law enforcement
and there are press reports of drug trafficking and associated
criminal activity among current and former government and military
officials."

The report did not name names.

Drug-related violence appears to be up in Honduras.

Homicides surged 25 percent from some 4,400 in 2007 to more than 7,000
in 2008 while more than 1,600 people were killed execution-style,
suggesting drug gang involvement, according to the Central American
Violence Observatory.

In October, Zelaya proposed legalizing drug use as a way of reducing
the violence, and doubling the country's police force, which reached
13,500 last year, up from 7,000 in 2005, according to the State
Department report.

CrAcK Head ObaMao Supports FARC - Marxist Drug Cartel in Columbia

October 15, 2008 - The Third McCain-Obama Presidential Debate

[...]
MCCAIN: Well, you know, I admire so much Senator Obama's eloquence.
And you really have to pay attention to words.
[...]
Now, on the subject of free trade agreements. I am a free trader.
[...]
But let me give you another example of a free trade agreement that
Senator Obama opposes. Right now, because of previous agreements, some
made by President Clinton, the goods and products that we send to
[democratic] Colombia, which is OUR LARGEST AGRICULTURAL IMPORTER OF
OUR PRODUCTS, is -- there's a billion dollars that we -- our
businesses have paid so far in order to get our goods in there.

Because of previous agreements, their goods and products come into our
country for free [Tax free - Americans save money]. So Senator Obama,
who has never traveled south of our border, opposes the Colombia Free
Trade Agreement. The same country that's helping us try to stop the
flow of drugs into our country that's killing young Americans.

And also the country that just freed three Americans that will help us
create jobs in America because they will be a market for our goods and
products without having to pay -- without us having to pay the
billions of dollars -- the billion dollars and more that we've already
paid.

Free trade with [democratic] Colombia is something that's a no-
brainer. But maybe you ought to travel down there and visit them and
maybe you could understand it a lot better.

OBAMA: Let me respond. Actually, I UNDERSTAND IT PRETTY WELL. The
history in Colombia right now is that [MARXIST] LABOR LEADERS have
been targeted for assassination on a fairly consistent basis [see
below] and there have not been prosecutions.

And what I have said, because the free trade -- the trade agreement
itself DOES HAVE labor and environmental protections, but we have to
stand for human rights [for marxists] and we have to make sure that
violence isn't being perpetrated against [marxist] workers [What about
marxist perpetrators?] who are just trying to organize for their
[marxist] rights, which is why, for example, I supported the Peruvian
Free Trade Agreement which was a well-structured agreement. [NOTE: The
Peruvian FTA was based on the Andean Trade Preference Act. In 1991,
under the George H. W. Bush administration, the United States enacted
the Andean Trade Preference Act. The program was renewed in 2002 by
the George W. Bush administration as the Andean Trade Promotion and
Drug Eradication Act. OBAMA did nothing! He is an obfuscator!]
[...]

MCCAIN: Well, let me just [say] that... Senator Obama doesn't want a
free trade agreement with our best ally in the region but wants to sit
down across the table without precondition with [communist dictator]
Hugo Chavez [a murderer], the guy who has been helping [marxist] FARC
[drug cartell], the terrorist organization.

Free trade between ourselves and [democratic] Colombia, I just recited
to you the benefits of concluding that agreement, a billion dollars of
American dollars that could have gone to creating jobs and businesses
in the United States, opening up those markets.

....I don't think there's any doubt that Senator OBAMA WANTS TO
RESTRICT TRADE AND HE WANTS TO RAISE TAXES. And the last president of
the United States that tried that was Herbert Hoover, and we went from
a deep recession into a depression.

We're not going to follow that path when I'm president of the United
States.

In 2003 Colombian President Alvaro Uribe accused Colombian NGOs of
“politicking at the service of terrorism.” “Every time a security
policy is carried out in Colombia to defeat terrorism, when terrorists
start feeling weak, they immediately send their spokesmen to talk
about human rights.”

In 2002 over 40 Democrat members of Congress signed a letter to
Secretary of State Colin Powell alleging "human rights violations" by
the Government of Colombia in its war against the drug-running,
marxist guerrilla terrorist Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces,
FARC, established as the military wing of the Colombian Communist
Party. This letter, published worldwide and used as pro-FARC anti-
Government of Colombia propaganda, made no mention of marxist FARC's
thousands of murders, atrocities and support from Cuban Marxist
dictator Fidel Castro and from Venezuela's Marxist caudillo Hugo
Chavez. The letter urged Secretary Powell "to take our concerns into
account when determining whether to approve additional military aid
for Colombia this year."
http://www.ciponline.org/colombia/02072301.htm

The daring rescue this past summer of French-Colombian politician
Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages (including three Americans) by
Colombian commandos is cause for rejoicing. As Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe put it, the rescue mission was "an unbelievable military
achievement." It marked yet another huge victory for Colombia in its
war on terrorism and another embarrassing defeat for the country's
main leftist guerrilla group--known by its Spanish acronym, FARC--
which had been holding Betancourt since 2002.

During the six years of her captivity, Colombia was transformed.
Murders, kidnappings, and terrorist attacks have all plunged
dramatically. The FARC has been devastated by combat deaths and
desertions; its remaining forces inhabit remote camps deep in the
Colombian jungle, far away from the urban areas. As a result, foreign
investment is pouring into the biggest cities. The World Bank has
lauded Colombia for its economic reforms, which helped GDP grow by 6.8
percent in 2006 and by more than 7 percent in 2007.

When we consider the progress made under President Uribe (who was
first elected in 2002), it is appalling that the U.S. Congress has
refused to approve a free trade agreement (FTA) with Colombia,
ostensibly due to concerns over violence. By any serious measure,
Colombia is a far less violent place today than at any time in recent
years. Democratic House leaders argue that Colombia has not done
enough to stop attacks on trade unionists. That depends on the meaning
of the word "enough": According to official Colombian statistics,
murders of trade unionists declined from 196 in 2002 to 26 in 2007.
Uribe established a special government-funded program to protect union
members from violence, and there is no question that their safety has
increased enormously.

Unfortunately, American labor unions--a bulwark of the Democratic
party--are strongly opposed to the free trade pact. (Never mind that
the Free Trade Agreement would mostly benefit U.S. farmers and
exporters.) If the deal has any chance of winning congressional
approval, it will happen after the 2008 election.

Like most Democrats, Barack Obama has come out against the Colombia
Free Trade Agreement and has chastised the Uribe administration for
not doing more to reduce violence. Though Obama speaks often of his
desire to improve U.S. credibility abroad, the Democrats' treatment of
Colombia is having precisely the opposite effect. Uribe is our closest
ally in Latin America. If Congress is willing to humiliate him, what
message does that send to other countries in the region?

If Obama saw the results on the ground in Colombia, he would be less
inclined to denounce Uribe over human rights. John McCain was in
Colombia last summer (the same week Betancourt was rescued).

Since 2000, the United States has spent billions of dollars on "Plan
Colombia," an aid package designed to help Colombia stamp out
narcotics trafficking. Though it was expanded by President Bush, Plan
Colombia began as a Clinton administration initiative that enjoyed
strong bipartisan backing in Congress. In other words, close
cooperation with Bogotá is not a "Bush policy."

Colombia is located in a region where Communist Venezuelan leader Hugo
Chávez is trying to spread radical populism. Americans should affirm
their support for a robust U.S.-Colombia partnership--even if it
angers some prominent socialist Democrats, Liberal Fascist Neo-
Communists and the marxist AFL-CIO crowd.

In other words, 0baMa0 does not give a damn about working Americans.
NO! The only thing he cares about are his marxist comrades in the
Communist Party International:

Recovered Emails Detail the FARC's International Support

Email messages linking the Colombian Marxist guerilla insurgency
(known by its Spanish acronym, FARC) to POLITICIANS, UNION ACTIVISTS
AND LEFT-WING POLITICAL PARTIES IN NORTH AMERICA have revealed a
network of supporters spanning several continents, and have kept
tensions high between Colombia and some of its neighbors.

http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/article.aspx?id=2742

0baMa0 doesn't want to save no stinkin' white ass blue collar union
workers. HELL NO! He wants to save the MARXIST MURDERERS who run the
Communist Unions and who have ties with the drug cartel, the Columbian
Marxist FARC, who are running cocaine into the noses of your sons and
daughters.

In his own words, in his own book 0baMa0 admits to being a CrAcKhEaD!

THE RECORD

The following is a chronology of events which demonstrates the intimate
connection between CIA and the drug dealing of the Contras.

1959: Felix Rodriguez, a Cuban refugee, hired to be a member of a special
assassination team, works under Theodore Shackley of the CIA in Miami,
Florida.

1970: Felix Rodriguez works under Donald Gregg in the CIA operation in
Vietnam. Gregg reports to Shackley.

1976: George Bush succeeded William Colby as the head of the CIA under
Gerald
Ford. Bush appoints Ted Shackley to be his Chief of Covert Operations
Worldwide.

12/1/81: Bush meets with the National Security Planning Group in the White
House. They discuss and approve a $19 million expenditure to Argentina
for the
creation of a 500 man anti-Sandinista Contra force.

4/82: Bush meets with Australian Labor leader Hayden to discuss the CIA's
involvement with the Nugan Hand bank in Australia. Nugan Hand was [a]
money-laundering machine for the southeast Asia heroin operation that began
during the Vietnam war. Defense Department spokesman Richard Armitage
acted as
bagman, carrying cash from Bangkok, Thailand, to Australia.

11/82: $3,690,000 payment made to the Contras by Ramon Milan Rodriguez, the
bookkeeper of the Columbian Cocaine Cartel, at the request of Felix
Rodriguez,
in exchange for protection from prosecution.

1983: Gustave Villolda gets a letter of recommendation from Donald Gregg as
"combat advisor" to the Contras. Villolda was with Felix Rodriguez
during the
Bay of Pigs invasion and the CIA trackdown and execution of Che Guevara in
Bolivia.

10/84: Gerald Latchinian, co-director with Felix Rodriguez of Giro
Aviation, a
CIA proprietary airline, arrested for smuggling $10,300,000 in cocaine to
finance the assassination of Honduran President Roberto Suazo Cordova.
Latchinian maintains that this was a CIA operation.

12/84: Felix Rodriguez meets with Donald Gregg, who is now George Bush's
National Security advisor. Gregg has an autographed photo of Rodriguez
on his
desk. He gets Gregg to call other high-ranking officials for help in
getting a
job in El Salvador as a Contra military advisor.

1/85: Felix Rodriguez meets with George Bush to discuss the Contra job, less
than two months after the Latchinian indictment.

6/85: Felix Rodriguez meets in Washington, D.C. with Donald Gregg and
Colonel
Steele of the Salvador Milgroup that works with the Contra supply network.
Steele was given one of the super-secret KL-43 encryption devices for secure
telephone conversations.

Eugene Hassenfus is shot down. Buzz Sawyer, the pilot of the plane, has the
private White House phone number of George Bush in his pocket when his
body is
recovered from the plane. Hassenfus testifies that he worked for the
CIA under
Max Gomez (alias Felix Rodriguez) and Ramon Medina (alias Luis Posada
Carriles)
with the knowledge and approval of George Bush. Telephone logs from the
phone
company in El Salvador for the "safe houses" used by the plane crew show
many
calls to North's White House office.

12/85: Felix Rodriguez attends the Christmas party at George Bush's
White House
office, and is introduced to the staff as as old friend of Donald Gregg and
Bush.

1/86: Felix Rodriguez meets in Bush's office with Colonel Sam Watson,
Gregg's
deputy in Salvador, and Colonel Steele to discuss counter-insurgency.

5/86: Felix Rodriguez meets with Bush, Gregg and North in Bush's office.

6/86: Felix Rodriguez is called to Washington to meet with North to explain

quality of arms shipments from Richard Secord's arms supply operation.
Later
that same month, Donald Gregg meets with Alan Friers, the Central
American Task
Force chief, to support the purchase of military equipment from Felix
Rodriguez
rather than Secord. Friers is told by Gregg, "Don't buy any of those damned
airplanes from Secord."

9/86: General Singlaub sends memo to North expressing concern about Felix
Rodriguez's daily contact with the Bush office, warning of "damage to
President
Reagan and the Republican Party."

The above information was compiled from The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia by McCoy (1972), Price of Power by Seymor Hersch (1983), Endless
Enemies
by Jonathan Kwitny (1984), Veil by Bob Woodward (1987, Out of Control by
Leslie
Cockburn (1987), Crimes of Patriots by Jon Kwitny (1987), as well as the
affidavit submitted to the Federal Court in Miami, Florida, in the RICO
(Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act) suit filed by Tony Avirgan
against those who bombed the press conference at La Ponca [sic] in 1984, and
the "Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy" statement issued by the

and Communism, the drug proceeds are now used to fight Democracy and
Freedom.

CrAcK Head ObaMao Supports FARC - Marxist Drug Cartel in Columbia

October 15, 2008 - The Third McCain-Obama Presidential Debate

[...]
MCCAIN: Well, you know, I admire so much Senator Obama's eloquence.
And you really have to pay attention to words.
[...]
Now, on the subject of free trade agreements. I am a free trader.
[...]
But let me give you another example of a free trade agreement that
Senator Obama opposes. Right now, because of previous agreements, some
made by President Clinton, the goods and products that we send to
[democratic] Colombia, which is OUR LARGEST AGRICULTURAL IMPORTER OF
OUR PRODUCTS, is -- there's a billion dollars that we -- our
businesses have paid so far in order to get our goods in there.

Because of previous agreements, their goods and products come into our
country for free [Tax free - Americans save money]. So Senator Obama,
who has never traveled south of our border, opposes the Colombia Free
Trade Agreement. The same country that's helping us try to stop the
flow of drugs into our country that's killing young Americans.

And also the country that just freed three Americans that will help us
create jobs in America because they will be a market for our goods and
products without having to pay -- without us having to pay the
billions of dollars -- the billion dollars and more that we've already
paid.

Free trade with [democratic] Colombia is something that's a no-
brainer. But maybe you ought to travel down there and visit them and
maybe you could understand it a lot better.

OBAMA: Let me respond. Actually, I UNDERSTAND IT PRETTY WELL. The
history in Colombia right now is that [MARXIST] LABOR LEADERS have
been targeted for assassination on a fairly consistent basis [see
below] and there have not been prosecutions.

And what I have said, because the free trade -- the trade agreement
itself DOES HAVE labor and environmental protections, but we have to
stand for human rights [for marxists] and we have to make sure that
violence isn't being perpetrated against [marxist] workers [What about
marxist perpetrators?] who are just trying to organize for their
[marxist] rights, which is why, for example, I supported the Peruvian
Free Trade Agreement which was a well-structured agreement. [NOTE: The
Peruvian FTA was based on the Andean Trade Preference Act. In 1991,
under the George H. W. Bush administration, the United States enacted
the Andean Trade Preference Act. The program was renewed in 2002 by
the George W. Bush administration as the Andean Trade Promotion and
Drug Eradication Act. *OBAMA did nothing! *He is an obfuscator!]
[...]

MCCAIN: Well, let me just [say] that... Senator Obama doesn't want a
free trade agreement with our best ally in the region but wants to sit
down across the table without precondition with [communist dictator]
Hugo Chavez [a murderer], the guy who has been helping [marxist] FARC
[drug cartell], the terrorist organization.

Free trade between ourselves and [democratic] Colombia, I just recited
to you the benefits of concluding that agreement, a billion dollars of
American dollars that could have gone to creating jobs and businesses
in the United States, opening up those markets.

...I don't think there's any doubt that Senator OBAMA WANTS TO
RESTRICT TRADE AND HE WANTS TO RAISE TAXES. And the last president of
the United States that tried that was Herbert Hoover, and we went from
a deep recession into a depression.

We're not going to follow that path when I'm president of the United
States.

In 2003 Colombian President Alvaro Uribe accused Colombian NGOs of
“politicking at the service of terrorism.” *“Every time a security
policy is carried out in Colombia to defeat terrorism, when terrorists
start feeling weak, they immediately send their spokesmen to talk
about human rights.”

In 2002 over 40 Democrat members of Congress signed a letter to
Secretary of State Colin Powell alleging "human rights violations" by
the Government of Colombia in its war against the drug-running,
marxist guerrilla terrorist Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces,
FARC, established as the military wing of the Colombian Communist
Party. This letter, published worldwide and used as pro-FARC anti-
Government of Colombia propaganda, made no mention of marxist FARC's
thousands of murders, atrocities and support from Cuban Marxist
dictator Fidel Castro and from Venezuela's Marxist caudillo Hugo
Chavez. The letter urged Secretary Powell "to take our concerns into
account when determining whether to approve additional military aid
for Colombia this year."http://www.ciponline.org/colombia/02072301.htm

The daring rescue this past summer of French-Colombian politician
Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages (including three Americans) by
Colombian commandos is cause for rejoicing. As Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe put it, the rescue mission was "an unbelievable military
achievement." It marked yet another huge victory for Colombia in its
war on terrorism and another embarrassing defeat for the country's
main leftist guerrilla group--known by its Spanish acronym, FARC--
which had been holding Betancourt since 2002.

During the six years of her captivity, Colombia was transformed.
Murders, kidnappings, and terrorist attacks have all plunged
dramatically. The FARC has been devastated by combat deaths and
desertions; its remaining forces inhabit remote camps deep in the
Colombian jungle, far away from the urban areas. As a result, foreign
investment is pouring into the biggest cities. The World Bank has
lauded Colombia for its economic reforms, which helped GDP grow by 6.8
percent in 2006 and by more than 7 percent in 2007.

When we consider the progress made under President Uribe (who was
first elected in 2002), it is appalling that the U.S. Congress has
refused to approve a free trade agreement (FTA) with Colombia,
ostensibly due to concerns over violence. By any serious measure,
Colombia is a far less violent place today than at any time in recent
years. Democratic House leaders argue that Colombia has not done
enough to stop attacks on trade unionists. That depends on the meaning
of the word "enough": According to official Colombian statistics,
murders of trade unionists declined from 196 in 2002 to 26 in 2007.
Uribe established a special government-funded program to protect union
members from violence, and there is no question that their safety has
increased enormously.

Unfortunately, American labor unions--a bulwark of the Democratic
party--are strongly opposed to the free trade pact. (Never mind that
the Free Trade Agreement would mostly benefit U.S. farmers and
exporters.) If the deal has any chance of winning congressional
approval, it will happen after the 2008 election.

Like most Democrats, Barack Obama has come out against the Colombia
Free Trade Agreement and has chastised the Uribe administration for
not doing more to reduce violence. Though Obama speaks often of his
desire to improve U.S. credibility abroad, the Democrats' treatment of
Colombia is having precisely the opposite effect. Uribe is our closest
ally in Latin America. If Congress is willing to humiliate him, what
message does that send to other countries in the region?

If Obama saw the results on the ground in Colombia, he would be less
inclined to denounce Uribe over human rights. John McCain was in
Colombia last summer (the same week Betancourt was rescued).

Since 2000, the United States has spent billions of dollars on "Plan
Colombia," an aid package designed to help Colombia stamp out
narcotics trafficking. ...
