Ratigan reports that labor union officials have meet their demise in Colombia for their attempts to organize and demands for higher wages and better working conditions which would cut into multinational corporations' profits.

Everything Rep. Miller is saying is FALSE. I invite a group of American to visit Colombia, to investigate all this accusations from Rep. Miller. I believe that Rep. Miller sources are communist groups in Colombia that are against everything that the Current and Previous government are doing. Colombia has changed a lot the past 10 years. It is a democratic, conservative country.

Colombia is the ONLY real ally of the US in South America, most of the countries are communist.

Slavery never ended, it only changed. Multinational corporations are the new slave masters, the populations of the world supply the slaves.
