I'm tryin... They ain't listenin'... Ron Paul 2012...

[SteveyYzerman]

Are you fucking kidding me? You guys bitch about the U.S. doing nothing but whenever they do something its all fucking wrong... If the U.S. is such a bad country why do you keep asking for its help? There are so many other countries out there, ask for their help if you don't want theirs.

The United States dumps more money into Colombia than any other country in Latin America. War profiteers like Lockheed Martin, SAIC, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman + other military & intelligence contractors lobby Congress and shills at the Pentagon & CIA to engage in 'special programs' in Colombia, with provisos stipulating that the money cycle back to the military contractors in the U.S.

billions in corporate welfare is funneled to U.S. military contractors each year to keep the phoney war on drugs boondoggle propped-up, at the expense of working class Americans.

Julian Assange: "Colombia, in particular, is an interesting country for us. We've had a long history of exposing information about the FARC, the AUC and Colombian government involvement with those two issues. But it's not just about Colombia, it's about the (special) relationship between the United States & Latin America.

cont...

[techcafe]

Colombia is the country in which the U.S. is pumping through more money in the past few years than any other country in Latin America. The U.S. approach to Colombia should not be seen as a 'U.S. approach'.

cont...

[techcafe]

What it's about is that there are several powerful companies & lobbies in Washington, such as Lockheed Martin, SAIC, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman... military and intelligence contractors who lobby Congress and their contacts (shills) within the Pentagon and the CIA to engage in 'special programs' in Colombia, with written provisos to make sure that the money actually cycles back to them (the military contractors) in the United States.

cont...

[techcafe]

So it's about transferring money from the U.S. tax base, that is, predominantly from middle-class people, back to ('defense' contractor) company shareholders and senior executives, people who are already rich. cont...

[techcafe]

For example, by 'appearing' to give the Colombian government AID to buy helicopters - but then attaching provisos that the helicopters must be of a 'particular type' - that only a U.S. weapons manufacturer can provide. That is what's really going on in Colombia, as far as military subsidies and what the United States calls the 'War on Drugs'."

[zaiten2012]

it's a good documentary but they shouldn't have dubbed the spanish-speaking interviewees, I think that was in poor taste, as if viewer where too lazy or dumb to read subtitles.

[Colombia935]

WTF¡¡ we owe you???, yeah we all owe for helping us killing each other while the US takes all our natural resources and beauty away form us.. no one gave the US a title of the "world´s police" WTF?? get out of our country, Colombia is just as honorable as the US.. so what are you waiting for.. Yankees go home¡¡¡ and legalize drugs¡¡ don´t you see that the drugs are the fuel of a bloodbath?? all of it sponsored by the US

[nagone11]

Same formula as the one we had in South East Asia, and certainly now in Afghanistan. We are just sleep to this and the jail for profit game is aslo working well in the USA.

[lazer1million]

If the CIA, mercenaries, and paramilitaries run drugs, then it's ok. I don't see the confusion about American drug policy... the government said they're right and I believe them, even if they're horribly wrong. It's the American way.

[sturnbull09]

"We are a simple people in the United States.  We like simple formulas." My ass!

[NatalieCoon]

If every U.S citizen were forced to watch this documentary, it would truly make us all feel like assholes. Greed at the cost of millions of lives and damage to the Earth. What is the point of acquiring all this money and resources to be able to buy more crap we don't need and deplete the very land we live on?

[xbuster17]

WTF is wrong with you USA?! first you have the most corrupt goverment EVER!, then you have the most ignorant and wimpsy population EVER!. why don't you stand up and FUCKING DO SOMETHING? ARE YOU THAT SCARED? the rest of the world is trully scared and they are fighting against it while you U.S. people are just doing nothing ! at least get ONE decent president, just one! to end this fucking madness....that's all it takes ... shame on you !

[xbuster17]

@pjanoooooo suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. corrupt murderer police. who asked fot it anyway? what usa does is called invasion and it's typical in an imperialist country, get real. no country ever threated us besides US so FUCK OF NAZI ! and wake up

[Colombia935]

@pjanoooooo respete hpta.. gringo malparido

[arcsyra1]

@xbuster17 First of all, the US government is little more that the shadow cast by corporate interests. You just fell for the trick: present some (as in a very small number) of facts, displace the blame and you get another hater of the US government. What you don't get is a focused and directed effrot to address and solve the problem at it's source. Wake up or die drowning in a pool of anger and ignorance.

[XxkalistudsxX]

@xbuster17 AND TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

[xbuster17]

@XxkalistudsxX i'm blasting top comments full of consciousness to try to get to people like you to think about it =). oh and i think and debate almost daily this kind of issues locally and internationally. i also protest. i learn and teach self sustainable methods. i don't support the drug or war or banking markets. and occasionally i do arts to raise awareness. is that enough?no,but i'm trying. so...what are you doing ?!big time to protest and debate there where you live, hope you are doing it

[rhodium1233]

Has Monsanto not done enough already?? They had their chance to be a decent Corporation and they failed hard, it should be illegal for them to still be in business.

[abastal13]

"we are simple people in the US and we like simple formulas" The fuck... no wonder the drug war is a giant waste of cash. The way they treat these people are horrible, okay what they are doing is bad but they were driven to this kind of life style to survive! I am not supporting the production of cocaine but these people need a way to sustainably live, not empty promises.

[vradiohd]

20-year "war on drugs" in Colombia has been paid for by the U.S. taxpayers. Still more and more drugs and narco-dollars are entering the U.S. every year. Is it a mere failure by Washington? Or is it a smokescreen to secure Colombia's oil & natural resources?

@vradiohd I've never thought of that. I makes a lot of sense what you are saying.
