| In Latin America and the rest of the Third World, genuine democratic movements like ours in Paraguay, have been striving long to break the existing oppressive feudal structures, true mediums for illegitimate powers open to all kind of dangerous penetrations, horribly materialized today as drugtrafficking/ kidnapping & hijacking terrorism. Coca, marihuana, etc ... simply took the lead over other cashcrops, in some of our neocolonial -monocultural- economies. That's it. During the Cold War years, both superpowers -USA & URSS- conveniently used each other (communism or capitalism) as 'the international enemy' or 'justification' to sustaining 'friendly' but illegitimate powers in their respective areas. Today's post Cold War globalization -among other things- turned 'the international enemies capitalism & communism', into one: drugtrafficking/ terrorism. The socalled 'War on Drugs' and now the 'witch-hunting' on the arab community, since the criminal attack on the World Trade Center's Towers (9/11/01), are based on the very Cold War's blind mentality as a cover-up for a major problem in our underdeveloped countries: usurpation of power by illfated cliques, the real root of terrorism. AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE ??? The US-backed insurrectional style chaos on March 26/28, 1999 in Paraguay, the parliamentary coup pushed by our native neofascists (Gonzalez Maucchi, Wasmosy, the Arganas, Galaverna, Duarte Frutos, Filizzola, De Vargas, and Cia.) .... today is dangerously justifying the reaction of innocents toward a social explosion. Besides ... the obscure manipulation of Cecilia Cubas' killing -by our former puppet government- to drag us into the craziness of the 'war on terrorism'... This is the violent scenario inherited by Pres. Fernando Lugo Mendez. |
