aginary threats in the meantime posted by gringo juan at 12 32 pm 1 comments labels argentina austerity chance of default sovereign debt crisis spain sunday july 18 2010 weekend update shall we begin our journey through the intertubes begins with the 10 year commemoration of beloved plan colombia which was last tuesday wola has the good word despite the popular belief that it has been a success wola writes looked at more closely though colombia s security gains are partial possibly reversible and weighed down by collateral damage they have carried a great cost in lives and resources progress on security has been stagnating and even reversing scandals show that the government carrying out these security policies has harmed human rights and democratic institutions progress against illegal drug supplies has been disappointing and wealth is being concentrated in ever fewer hands check out the link to read the whole report complete with all the statistics complete with pretty charts to back it up in the polling department otto s got the breakdown in peru puts it better than i could so in his own words lord help the world keiko i m not the continuation of fujimori policies fujimori make that fuji freakin mori is ahead with 22 of voter intention second is luis interesting castañeda and third still creeping up is ex pres alejandro toledo who still has my five bucks as most likely winner right now and i m no real fan of his before you say anything sue myrick r nc takes home the wild eyed theory of the week from peter krupa at lat am daily ladies and gentleman your u s congress great post at the mex files on a spanish vocab website that is entertaining and instructing in equal measure check out some hilarious examples or check out the site itself effective swearing in the d f colombia made a totally unsurprising announcement saying there are guerilla camps on the venezuelan side of the border they even gave the coordinates 23 kilometers from the border c mon colombia that s a pretty big remote border i m not impressed i also would disagree with boz that uribe is doing santos a favor by taking the hit right before he leaves office if santos denounces the whole thing and calls for dialogue with chavez directly then maybe he makes out okay but it is pretty unreasonable to think that chavez wouldn t hold santos who was responsible for the raid into ecuador as equally responsible for this there was just no need to make a big public display over this except to do exactly that make a big public display now colombia says they will take it to the oas on thursday if you want to listen to the whole thing you can do it at the oas website might prove entertaining benjamin dangl at upside down world shares his foreward to raul zibechi s book dispersing

pitted crude director joe berlinger against chevron another subplot of the 28 billion lawsuit against chevron brought by communities in ecuador s amazon lisa derrick at la figa fdl has the dirty details berlinger still has to hand over footage to chevron but conversations with defendants lawyers and their families are protected the new york times has a long article on cattle ranching drug barons who are destroying parts of the maya biosphere reserve the largest swatch of protected land in central america great article in spanish in la jornada on the reasons why both the national party and liberal party are pushing for zelaya s return to honduras the national party wants to gain recognition from countries other than peru and colombia the liberal party needs him to avoid marginalization and it s the first priority of the resistance who just appointed him coordinator for more on zelaya s relations with the liberal party and the resistance and for all your honduran needs be sure to keep apace with honduras culture and politics in the latest example of the us intervention in central america coming back to haunt them and others the washington post has a long report on how mexican drug cartels are stepping up their use of grenades and where did they find all these grenades from the wapo the administrations of ronald reagan and george h w bush sent 300 000 hand grenades to friendly regimes in central america to fight leftist insurgents in the civil wars of the 1980s and early 1990s according to declassified military data obtained through the freedom of information act by the federation of american scientists and according to the u s bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives some 90 of the grenades in mexico are at least 20 years old check out the article for more a real interesting article in the economist on brazil becoming one of the world s biggest aid donors like china brazilian aid does not come with western style conditions the head of brazil s development agency explains marco farani the head of abc argues there is a specifically brazilian way of doing aid based on the social programmes that have accompanied its recent economic success brazil has a comparative advantage he says in providing hiv aids treatment to the poor and in conditional cash transfer schemes like bolsa família its tropical agriculture research is among the world s best but brazil also still receives aid so for good or ill its aid programme is eroding the distinction between donors and recipients thus undermining the old system of donor dictated top down aid sounds like a positive development although problems clearly remain as the economist article notes the generally odious andres oppenheimer writes something worth a damn for a change comparing the us denial of a visa for hollman morris to a page right out of the cuba north korea iran playbook most interesting fact from the piece though comes from the pen club a free press group who estimate that about 250 academics journalists and writers had their visa denied between 2001 and the end of the bush administration for ideological reasons finally mad props to argentina who passed a law recognizing same sex marriages last week glenn greenwald has a nice take and relates it to the treatment of the issue in the u s greenwald writes that s what is most striking here this is not happening in some small northern european country renown for its ahead of the curve social progressivism though gay marriage or civil unions are now the norm in western europe just as is true for brazil which i ve written about before with regard to my personal situation argentina is a country with a fairly recent history of dictatorships an overwhelmingly catholic population at least in name and pervasive social conservatism with extreme restrictions on abortion rights similar to those found on much of the continent the catholic church in argentina vehemently opposed the enactment of this law but no matter ending discrimination against same sex couples is understood as a matter of basic equality not social progressivism and it thus commands widespread support for the contrast with the

revolution footage south of the border thursday july 15 2010 who said the press was free this needs no additional commentary from jeremy bigwood writing for nacla buying venezuela s press with u s tax dollars the u s state department is secretly funneling millions of dollars to latin american journalists according to documents obtained in june under the freedom of information act foia the 20 documents released to this author including grant proposals awards and quarterly reports show that between 2007 and 2009 the state department s little known bureau of democracy human rights and labor channeled at least 4 million to journalists in bolivia nicaragua and venezuela through the pan american development foundation padf a washington based grant maker that has worked in latin america since 1962 thus far only documents pertaining to venezuela have been released they reveal that the padf collaborating with venezuelan ngos associated with the country s political opposition has been supplied with at least 700 000 to give out journalism grants and sponsor journalism education programs until now the state department has hidden its role in funding the venezuelan news media one of the opposition s most powerful weapons against president hugo chávez and his bolivarian movement the padf serving as an intermediary effectively removed the government s fingerprints from the money yet as noted in a state department document titled bureau program specific requirements the state department s own policies require that all publications funded by the department acknowledge the support but the provision was simply waived for the padf for the purposes of this award the requirements document adds the recipient is not required to publicly acknowledge the support of the u s department of state before 2007 the largest funder of u s democracy promotion activities in venezuela was not the state department but the u s agency for international development usaid together with the national endowment for democracy ned but in 2005 these organizations underhanded funding was exposed by venezuelan american attorney eva golinger in a series of articles books and lectures disclosure this author obtained many of the documents after the usaid and ned covers were blown wide open forcing usaid s main intermediary development alternatives inc dai a maryland based contractor to close its office in caracas the u s government apparently sought new funding channels one of which the padf appears to have provided although the 700 000 allocated to the padf which is noted in the state department s requirements document may not seem like a lot of money the funds have been strategically used to buy off the best of venezuela s news media and recruit young journalists this has been achieved by collaborating with opposition ngos many of which have a strong media focus the requirements document is the only document that names any of these organizations which was probably an oversight on the state department s part since the recipients names and a lot of other information are excised in the rest of the documents the requirements document names espacio público and instituto prensa y sociedad two leading organizations linked to the venezuelan opposition as recipients of subgrants i urge you to go read the whole thing seriously do it also make sure to check out the documents for yourself posted by jakob at 6 28 pm 0 comments labels freedom of the press shady shit usaid venezuela i told you to come back for an update as most of you have already realized and some of you have let me know in comments the statement from the french foreign ministry that i posted yesterday was an extremely well done and brilliant hoax did i know that when i posted it yes astute readers may have noticed the post was tagged with yes men so why didn t i tell you the faithful readers simple it would have blown their cover as of last night i wasn t aware of anybody who had publicly labeled it a hoax you think i could be the first no way the point was for the statement to get as much attention as possible and downright shame the french government what if some press agency used da google and saw my blog post outing it as a hoax i would have ruined it all and so i m glad i didn t even if it was slightly deceptive so did any major news outlets pick it up i don t think so but here is a snapshot of afp s website this morning not sure if the link will still work the headline reads france pledges 17 billion to help haiti okay so my guess is that this is actually just part of the hoax i swear i don t know in any case today there are multiple news stories about how a fake press statement went out but you know what mission accomplished as brooke jarvis writes for yes while the fake news release a common tactic of the prankster activists the yes men but not yet traced to a particular group doesn t seem to have fooled any major news outlets it did bring the debt and its contradiction with france s public stance into the spotlight and after all that is what it is all about so to those aspiring yes men out there keep up the good work posted by jakob at 6
