From Trade follows Flag to Flag follows trade

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

Here we look at how world trade flows have developed empires and companies and now how Chevron is caught in Venezuela by U.S. sanctions seeking to end the criminal regime in Caracas that come to a head this month. “Trade follows flag” Trade begins to spring all over the world and either shatters or opens fissures in political systems. If you list the 10 largest world oil reserves only two are in so called developed countries: the US and Canada. They thus cling to their assets worldwide. And while many succeed in evading controversy some are caught by truly horrible developments like those of Venezuela where Baker Hughes; Chevron, Haliburton and Weatherford would like to stay in order to be able to develop a position of preeminence at the world largest oil reserve but the country is subject to sanctions from the US government that is all set to bring down the criminal regime of Venezuela. Time will tell what is best for the US and Western interests. But for now, Chevron and the rest of the major oil producers are thorn by the US dilemma.

PRESIDENT DUQUE’S STRATEGIC ERROR IS NOT TO FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST CUBA FOR THE FARC AND VENEZUELA

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

President Duque and Colombia make -up to here- the strategic error of not identifying the real enemy that Cuba is. The dictatorship that is in place in Venezuela that protects the FARC guerrillas and other criminal groups, attacking Colombia and the region since many years’ past. The FARC’s announcement to return to the armed fight is only the most recent of CastroChavism conspiratory acts attempting to destabilize Colombia, to weaken the regional actions against Nicolas Maduro, and provide support to narcotics’ trafficking. Could it be that President Duque is waiting for Cuba’s good diligence or mediation, that is precisely the next move in the agenda of the dictatorship? It would seem to be the equivalent of remaining in the ambush that has been prepared by “not identifying the enemy unequivocally”. To identify the enemy and to take the initiative, are two of the most important rules in strategy, recommended in politics but indispensable for survival.

ARGENTINA’S ELECTIONS, TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A BAD GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZED CRIME

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

Political conditions, the economic situation, and corruption are -amongst others- the features that have driven the Argentinean people to a very delicate situation in which the cross-roads would seem to be to choose between reelecting a bad government or to return to an organized crime’s regime. To cover Cristina up with all the corruption structure resulting from the Kirchner’s twelve years of government would integrate Alberto Fernandez into the organized crime’s system of that period. Mauricio Macri is paying the price for not having acted decisively against corruption and for his gradual method of confronting the crisis left behind by the Kirchner’s that now already appears to be his own creation, the price of a bad government.  Alberto Fernandez gives all indications of belonging to the Organized Crime that since a long time ago his candidate to the Vice-Presidency is a member of.

Standing Apart

Creative growth is not a familiar concept among the powerful. As matter of fact creativity seems to be held at ransom by most political leaders who frightened by the first wave of technology would rather suppress it altogether. Latin music has taken over the world of music, visual arts were revolutionized by the kinetic art forged in Latin America and the region has won 6 Nobel awards in Literature, not to speak about the host of singers and performers that populate pop music and performing arts. Meanwhile in the US no one seems to understand that children are better off in terms of accessing   jobs by learning robotics and hydroponic farming instead of being tested every other minute. And this explains why there is an opioid crisis.

And the dream came true!!!

Great dreams have been the corner stone to great cities. Here we reflect the success of the dreams of late Mayor Maurice Ferre to make Miami a modern technological mecca and capital of the Americas. As Miami mourns the loss of Maurice Ferre his family and friends count his blessings that he generously sprinkled in the city that elicited his greatest love. His legacy while diverse, had a single focus: the establishment of the first truly multicultural and global community in the Western Hemisphere. Maurice Ferre continued to serve long after he was mayor of Miami because he believed the best was yet to come “Miami is like a butterfly or a caterpillar, goes from one form to another. It’s transformed many times. It’s an ongoing transformation that occurs every quarter century”. And to oversee this new transformation he entered a new dimension where he can inspire his fellow citizens to continue transforming the dream.

BOLIVIA, 6.25 MILLION ACRES DEVASTATED AND THE ECOCIDE CONTINUES

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

Evo Morales´ ecocide in Bolivia continues unabated with –up to now- 6.25 million acres of forest devastated by fire. There is no difference in the conduct and criminal aftermath between Morales and the other known dictators; Castro, Chavez, Maduro, and Ortega. The assassinations, torture, quantity of political prisoners could be greater in number in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, but in Bolivia Morales commits the same crimes that has included over 20 bloody massacres, dead, political prisoners and exiles, and thousands of persecuted. In the narcotics´ trafficking realm, Evo Morales takes the lead. His government has increased the cultivation of illegal coca-leaf. “CastroChavism is the term that describes the Transnational Organized Crime´s system that usurps political power in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia.  Those who comprise it must be treated as part of the organized crime´s structure and not as politicians, let alone as dignitaries”. The tropical forest fires in Bolivia are Morales´ most recent crime. Besides promoting the fires, Evo Morales acts with criminal negligence because he did not activate, in a timely manner, the resources and personnel needed to control them. To put Evo Morales´ crimes in perspective, the devastated area by the fires is over 6.26 million acres, or 9,615 square miles,

FARC BACK TO ARMS IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN ORGANIZED CRIME´S CASTROIST CHAVIST DICTATORSHIPS.

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

The FARC´s announcement they are going back to the armed fight is only the most recent Castroist Chavist event in a chain of conspiracy against Americas´democracies. The FARC´s actions are meant to destabilize Colombia. “CastroChavism” (Castro and Chavez) is the terms that describes the “Transnational Organized Crime Group”. It is an organization controlled by the Cuban dictatorship that conceals through political labels the crimes its members commit daily with the violation of human rights and basic freedoms. The CastroChavism system claims they are “defending the revolution”.  They defend narcotics´ trafficking proclaiming that “the war against narcotics´ trafficking is an instrument created by the imperialism to oppress the people”. The CastroChavism system also conspires against democracies through narcotics´ trafficking, applying Castro and Che Guevara´s manifesto “to flood the empire with drugs to eliminate its youth”.

VOTE IN BLANK, CIVIL RESISTANCE TO EVO MORALES IN BOLIVIA FOR USURPATION AND ECOCIDE

General, Opinion, Opinion-1Leave a comment

This upcoming 20th of October presidential elections in Bolivia will be held using the “vote-catching dictatorship”. In this electoral process, spruced up with functional opposition´s candidates who fracture the option of having real opposition and who enable, legitimize, and ensure the criminal reelection of Morales, Bolivia can again say NO through Civil Resistance by means of casting a vote in blank. Evo Morales is a “usurper candidate” because he has seized ownership of a right that legitimately does not belong to him, and he does so with violence, appropriating to himself the dignity and the position that do not belong to him, using them as though they were his own”. This is why it is urgent for Bolivians and international defenders of democracy and human rights to make the world to acknowledge this usurpation and take measures accordingly. Proof and consequence of these crimes are the almost five (5) million acres intentionally burned in protected areas and national parks in order to expand the areas for the cultivation of illegal coca-leaf/cocaine. Such a severe crisis leaves but one option for the people to take “Civil Resistance”. The time in which the dictatorial apparatus has very few possibilities of success is on election´s day.  The act of going to the ballot box, in which every Bolivian citizen is compelled to vote, is the best time to defeat Evo Morales and his dictatorship through civil resistance. Since neither the political parties, nor the so–called opposition candidates have been able to unite, the people can, this upcoming 20th of October, CAST A BLANK VOTE as an expression of their rejection and as a measure of civil resistance to force the usurper to leave the government. Bolivia can again say NO to the dictatorship by CASTING A BLANK VOTE, delegitimizing Morales and tracing a path for the return of democracy and the Republic.

Missing the reality Show

The beauty of modern times lies in the guaranteed unending parade of triviality that envelopes news castings and transmissions worldwide.  This past week, for instance, world media has concentrated in discussing whether John Bolton was fired or whether he resigned as National Security Advisor to president Donald Trump. Consequently, despite the shower of words uttered or written on the subject matter the world missed the true meaning of the event. Clearly, Mr Bolton did not match the casting needs of Mr Trump’s reality show and had to be ceased. So, the real question now is not whether Mr Bolton resigned or was kicked out of the White House but how will the reality show will progress and who will be recruited for the job left empty by Mr Bolton. As for Mr Bolton’s replacement, stay tuned, there are several reality TV pros warming at the bullpen. Notably among them Secretary Pompeo.
