American Narcotolerance
In a parody of the Three Stooges, the head of U.S. Southern Command emitted declarations exonerating Venezuela of its ties to the ETA-FARC duo, only to be contradicted by the speaker for the Department of State, who in turn could either be corrected or backed up by the White House spokesperson.
Such incidents happen so often that it is difficult to know or understand what the opinion of the American government really is, or sometimes to even know if they do possess an opinion in relation to certain events. Furthermore, it all gets even more complicated when the U.S. Congress initiates interpellations, which allow the parliamentaries to confuse specific events even more with confusing declarations.
What is certain today is that with no proof at all, the U.S. government is accusing Venezuela of supporting the FARC guerrillas in promoting ties between this group and the Basque terrorist group ETA. To make the accusations even more absurd, they attribute the information to Raul Reyes's mythical computers that supposedly contain all secrets imaginable, including Osama Bin Laden’s hiding place in the Macanao Peninsula, in Margarita.
At this point in the issue it would be convenient if Venezuela’s foreign minister, or maybe the ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), would start to raise questions that have never been clarified by the U.S. government. Maybe a Venezuelan judge should thoroughly investigate how is it possible that tons of drugs enter and exit the American territory without a significant confiscation from the U.S. civilian or military authorities.
With a little imagination, in the style of a Spanish judge, the U.S. military could be accused of facilitating the entrance of the Colombian drugs on the U.S. territory. The facilitation could be done with the help of the empty spaces in the cargo planes that are transporting combat equipment to the Palanquero Base.
Maybe this is not the real way the drugs get into the U.S., but there must be some coordination allowing the Colombian cocaine to enter imperial territory as Pedro does into his house. In any case, in these propagandist accusations, not even the American police force denies that people consume imported drugs in the U.S. as if they were Coca Cola.
