Plan Colombia: Cashing-In on the Drug War Failure
20 years of US “war-on-drugs” in Colombia paid for by U.S. tax-payers. Still, more and more drugs and narco-dollars are entering the US every year.
Is it a failure or a smokescreen by Washington to secure Colombia’s oil & natural resources instead? Now that the U.S. State Department officially shifted its priority in Colombia from “counter-narcotics” to “counter-insurgency” conveniently dubbed “anti-terrorism”, what is left today of the alleged anti-drug purpose of the U.S. “Plan Colombia”?
While cocaine trafficking and money-laundering are skyrocketing to unseen proportions, is the current U.S. “oil” administration even concerned with fighting drugs in Colombia, another top oil supplier to the U.S., when its U.S.-friendly regime is being threatened by powerful leftist guerrilla groups?

Watch the full documentary now
this is just eye opening, jaw dropping and just goes to show that GOVERNMENT was never made for the people.. its was made for BIG Busieness and to control!! the people. i was seriuosly shocked after watching this documentary, and before this i would always ask myself why are their gorrilla armies in colombia why cant they just be a peacefull people, and always thought it was their fault for the drugs coming to the US, but now i am completely shocked at what ive just seen. and what pisses me off is that i know of one or two people who are addicted to some illegal narcotics and i know would they would benefit from a help center but their aren’t any close to wear i live. why the fudgee is THE US gov. keeping this so secret!!!?????
Our “western” culture is simply DISGUSTING. U.S. could have simply made columbia a state, but NO, they want slaves not people with rights, they want even more poor people to leech so that we can grow fat, pay thousands of dollars for diets, plastic junk and watch more TV that shows only propaganda.
We in turn are the “second layer” of this disgusting setup that work so the government and the selected rich few can pay for weapons to keep us and the slave countries at bay.
If the world was one country earth could provide for all. Science would get us to levels were labor would be almost not needed instead of focusing on making ****** weapons. We are backward, we are even worse than Nazis that wanted at least to make a united country of earth and not some kind of king of countries with it’s country-slaves.
its the same story everywhere the american armys are. there is only ever one reason why the us invades countries and thats for its resources. the american gov. says they are fighting the war on terror, well i have news for you the american gov are the terrorists. what gives them the right to enter any country??? no wonder there are so many malitias and gorrila groups around the globe. they are simply trying to protect from foreign invaders(united states) one day when people wake up they will realise who the real criminals are in the world. people are going to revolt and the us is going to take the brunt of it because they are the ones who are responsible for most the chaos around the world. greed and minipulation will only last so long and after you have taken everything away from the people then we are going to see catastrophic consequences. i wish people could see through the lies that the amaericans are creating. the us has one goal and it is to unite the world under one dictatorship…..theirs. anti american is the new revolution and we the people will not stand for the corruption of the american government!!!!
u people amaze me….dont believe everything u see or read..so u watch one documentary and now u believe it all..go take a course in colombian history, colombian/american history. colombia has had paramilitary groups for a long long time.Farc (the largest) for example was formed in 1964 by a bunch of communists to fight Colombian military. farc is kidnapping for ransom and killing their own people and since the fall of the medellin,cali ,norte valle cartels they also control and tax most of the coke that comes out of columbia. they have formed tight bonds with violent mexican cartels. they were never organized to protect their countrymen from america. only later was that claim made-its bs. they are making lots of money. they r terrorists destroying their own country trying to take power.The 19th of April Movement(at one time the second largest but later demobilized) was founded in 1970 when military dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla lost the presidency he claimed fraud and the group was started. The 19th of April Movement was funded by the Medellin cartel(pablo escobar, carlos lehder among others). wonder why?? this doc. left out very important points. colombia wants something from us just as much as we want something from them. they are major import/export partners. The bush administration was the first to sign a free trade agreement with colombia but opposed by liberal labor and human rights groups because of Bogota’s history of intolerance of labor activism. just in case u dont know free trade means trade without gov. interference. we have never “invaded” them for their resources. This is what’s wrong with our country today too many people are riding the opinions of others instead of educating themselves with information from both sides left and right and then making their own opinion. ask obama he will tell u. thats how he got elected
Americans….
Installing millitary bases on Colombian soil with the help of the ruling elite, who are protecting their interests with the help of America, is not an act of war but still an immoral and unjust thing to do.
FARC may use immoral means to aquire funds aswell, but they are the result of the ruling elites opression and crimes against the poor majority in Colombia. The death squads controled by the ruling elite was trained by CIA and has been comitting crimes and murders agianst the Colombian people for many years now and are still active.
Without FARC, there wouldnät be a political opposition. The ruling elite has been forced to allow an opposition too weaken support for FARC.
The drug running is interlaced with the government and it’s judicial system. The level of corruption in Colombia is appaling. The U.S support for this Government only goes to show that their real interests in Colombia is not drugs at all, but it’s geopolitical importance, and the build up of force against the neighbouring country of Venezuela who refuse to be under the U.S sphere of controle.
