Says it all doesn't it.
I wonder if they will go ahead and democratize Brazil and made it another land of the free as he above piece suggests? Perhaps though, they'll need to extract their assets from the "tobacco" region of this nation first though?
One consequence of this will certainly be a substantial increase in the Colombian narcotics business as the US turns yet another "blind eye" to its retained crooks fund raising for covert operations -- to use the limited hang-out explanation -- of the dramatic increase in drug trafficking in US theatres of war.
On the other hand, more simple and cynical types like me simply see the global narcotics industry as a very handy cash cow to be perpetually milked by the Pentagon, assorted intelligence agencies and the White House to sustain their innate greed.
Quote:SPIONAGE AND WARFARE
The document additionally confirms that the US military presence in Palanquero, Colombia, will improve the capacity of espionage and intelligence operations, and will allow the US armed forces to increase their warfare capabilities in the region. “Development of this CSL wil further the strategic partnership forged between the US and Colombia and is in the interest of both nations…A presence will also increase our capability to conduct Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), improve global reach, support logistics requirements, improve partnerships, improve theater security cooperation and expand expeditionary warfare capability.”

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
