Colombia's Santos: accomplice in drug trafficking and terrorism
Official efforts are being undermined by the very individuals that have got to be unflinching in their determination to bring peace to Colombia: its presidents.
Since the assassination of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, in 1948, Colombia has been suffering from an internal armed conflict. Historically, communist guerrilla movements -such as Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces or FARC- have exerted control over much territory, at one point controlling an area that extended to 40% of Colombia. The BBC, not the most objective source of information on issues that expose communism, has reported that 4.6 million people have been displaced in Colombia, due to the conflict between guerrillas and security forces. The FARC, which over the years lost its purpose, has supplanted Colombia's notorious cartels and now finances its terrorist activities with kidnaps and cocaine trafficking. In fact, it is believed that the FARC is today's Colombia's largest drug cartel, with operations in a number of South American countries, especially in adjacent Venezuela, and Ecuador.
Alek's hatred of Hugo Chavez has reached such heights that it has become a personal obsession. He is the Venezuelan Glenn Beck, making nonsensical accusations without ever addressing any of the evidence that refutes them. Alek is among those who still deny that a coup took place in 2002. This is perhaps the most glaring example of how they willingly ignore the evidence that counters what they wish to believe. Even when opposition party leaders have admitted that they knew in advance of the coup plans and how it would be carried out, Alek and others continue holding their line: outright denial that a coup took place! It is astounding how anyone could be so dishonest with themselves as to ignore the facts as they stare them in the face.
Totally agree with the previous comments by Don and Arturo. I am surprised that this resentful individual has an outlet for his ultra-fascist spew.
Right on cue, Hugo Chávez's multiple identity shills drag themselves out of their apathy to sling mud and defamate as if they were in Venezuela. President Santos said the guerrilla camps are empty but remember the ability of guerrillas to melt away is fundamental to their survival.
Hugo Chávez has blocked the creation of a truth commission to look into the "coup of 2002". Brian Nelson's The Silence of the Scorpion can convey an appropriate idea of the strangeness of this event. The jury is still out on this one.
It's easy to try to discredit Alek before audiences that have not experienced Chávez's brand of bungling military autocracy. I thank Alek for his clear baring of current events in Venezuela.

The usual convoluted, rumor ridden argumewnts from Alek Boyd. No concrete evidence has ever been produced to prove that 1500 FARC lived in 85 camps in Venezuela. Why does Alek not mention that the raid which killed Reyes in Ecudaor was illegal under international law? Why does he not mention that his hero, Uribe, was the US connection of Pablo Escobar in the 1980's and 1990's? Why does Alek believe Makled when it is probable that this man is an international drug runner out to save his own skin?
Until these questions are answered why does Alek Boyd expect credilbility in internet after his violent forays against chavismo for years - saying that violence was the only solution in Venezuela?
