to solve a complex, difficult, indeed, Byzantine crime, that was obviously aimed at destabilizing the country because somebody doesn't like the leftist president.
It's the sort of thing the U.S. should have done after 9/11, instead of wasting trillions of dollars on militarism, blowing up and shooting hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and laying waste to the U.S. reputation in the world with torture and other nazi policies. Some expert, scientific police work was called for--not mass death and mayhem--both to explain how such a thing could happen (how major U.S. defense and security systems, the best in the world, could have all failed on that day), and who really did it (crazy Arab jihadists who couldn't pass the first level of flight training, armed with box cutters, and who laid a trail of "breadcrumbs" the size of loafs of bread--not).
It was the same with this crazy tape by Rosenburg saying President Colom was going to kill him that mysteriously surfaces after he is killed. Somebody's private "Office of Special Plans" (or maybe not so private?) was surely involved in setting this up. The reaction of Guatemala's rightwing--staging violent, disruptive protests, blaming Rosenberg's death on Colom, demanding that he resign--is likely a clue to the motives for the murder. And we must not underestimate the viciousness of our own fascist cabals in the face of the awesome, leftist democracy movement that has swept South America, and half of Central America--with leftist governments elected in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay and Paraguay, and, recently, in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala--with the Honduran election recently undone by a fascist military coup, but the others holding steady.
It's interesting what one of the top generals in the Honduran fascist military coup said about their motives (as reported in the Zelaya government-in-exile's recent report on the coup): He said that, by the coup, they had "prevented communism from Venezuela reaching the United States." Was this plot in Guatemala another flank of this U.S./Latin America rightwing strategy for destroying this powerful democracy movement in Latin America?
Guatemala has its own vicious fascist cabals--indeed, one of the most vicious on earth (murderers of 200,000 Mayan villagers in the 1980s, including horrendous torture atrocities, all supported by Reagan, but mostly carried out by Guatemalan henchmen). Could be a local fascist plot. But given what we know about Bushwhack plans for the region (reconstitution of the US 4th Fleet in the Caribbean, massive funding of the Colombian military--notorious for its human rights abuses, including the murder of thousands of union leaders--seven new U.S. military bases in Colombia, the U.S./Colombian bombing/raid on Ecuador early last year, the U.S.-instigated white separatist coup attempt in Bolivia late last year, and the non-stop psyops/disinformation campaign against leftist leaders, most intense against President Chavez of Venezuela but also including the presidents of Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina--this Guatemalan plot fits a pattern of Bushwhack activity in Latin America.
The pattern includes both overt and covert activity. Overt activity has included multi-millions of U.S. tax dollars funneled to rightwing political groups all over Latin America, through agencies such as the USAID-NED. Covert activity has included both coup plotting (and probably assassination plotting), attempts to spark a regional war (such as the U.S./Colombian bombing/raid on Ecuador) and items like that ridiculous CIA "suitcase full of money" caper out of Miami (aimed at sullying the presidents of Venezuela and Argentina).
It is therefore wise to look behind any fascist eruption in Latin America for its U.S. authors, funders and instigators. We know John McCain, for instance, was funding the Honduran coupsters through the "International Republican Institute" (via the USAID), and that coup is openly supported by the worst fascist pigs in Congress. It's too soon to tell what the Obama administration is up to in Latin America. The Pukes in Congress are holding up Obama's appointments to important Latin American positions, and the region is still fraught with Bushwhack ambassadors--some of them very bad operatives, indeed (such as the U.S. ambassador in Bogota). And the reason they are holding up those appointments is the Obama's administration's condemnation of the Honduran coup! There is a visible Bushwhack strategy here. I think it is ultimately based on a Rumsfeld war plan for violently taking control of major oil reserves in Venezuela and Ecuador, and other resources, by arming Colombia (and using it, South Vietnam-style, as a proxy army, to front for U.S. military operations), and smashing Latin America's democracy movement to pieces (shattering the peace of the region and setting country against country). The unknowns about Obama and Clinton are where they stand on this war plan, and also, does Obama have the power to dismantle it, if he wants to?
In any case, that is how I see events like this one in Guatemala. Sometimes you can see the U.S. hand in such events and sometimes you can't. You can only see how it serves U.S. corpo/fascist and war profiteer interests, and hope that someone is doing FOIA requests--like Eva Golinger on the John McCain money to the Honduran coupsters--to track any visible money. I want the people of the U.S.--myself included--to stop being stupid. Know what I mean? To not have another Vietnam War or Iraq War burst over our heads, and wonder how could that possibly have happened? Millions dead. We're paying for it. And most of us didn't even see it coming.
