{The government has half-heartedly suggested drug trafficking as an explanation for many of the massacres, but few appear convinced. “If drug trafficking were a determining factor in homicides, it would be expected that this phenomenon would occur mostly in the coca-growing municipalities. However, the evidence indicates the opposite,” stated Giovanni Álvarez, Director of the Colombian Investigation and Accusation Unit.}

This is the type of puppet government we support with our tax dollars. A fascist entity that kills its own people while ours falsely accuses a peaceful Venezuelan government of being the cocaine state killing them with sanctions. Our tax dollars supporting a proven criminal there, propping him up to be their legitimate president in which the people refuse to acknowledge, to even know.

{Few, however, seem to be expecting a radically different 2021. Colombia has long been the most dangerous place in the world to be an activist. Since 1989, according to human rights group Justice For Colombia, over 3,000 trade unionists have been assassinated, more than in the rest of the world combined. “In almost 100% of these killings, the perpetrators act with impunity,” Jordan said. This afternoon, Norbey Antonio Rivera from Cauca, became the latest social leader to be assassinated.}

We are supporting the drug cartel there for the benefit of a failed capitalist system. Without this money being laundered through the world currency systems it would have began to collapsed sooner. Take this money along with every organized crime syndicates out of circulation and it all falls apart.
