Colombia Steps Up FARC Offensive


Funny, they don't tie this to the Free Trade Treaty with the US. It totally is. US Companies want to relocate from China to Columbia (lots of help from IAOP)

They have to clean up the country's Rebels so the US business' can operate securely.  China is going to be pissed as this all goes down..Should be interesting. Seen Red Dawn?

The Trade Deals Are Done

So I am sure you will want to know who in Congress to blame, when unemployment hits 25%. So I will break it down;

Senate Yeas (alphabetical):
Akaka (D-HI), Alexander (R-TN), Ayotte (R-NH), Barrasso (R-WY), Baucus (D-MT), Begich (D-AK), Bennet (D-CO), Bingaman (D-NM), Blunt (R-MO), Boozman (R-AR), Boxer (D-CA), Brown (R-MA), Burr (R-NC), Cantwell (D-WA), Carper (D-DE), Chambliss (R-GA), Coats (R-IN), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Conrad (D-ND), Coons (D-DE), Corker (R-TN), Cornyn (R-TX), Crapo (R-ID), DeMint (R-SC), Durbin (D-IL), Enzi (R-WY), Feinstein (D-CA), Franken (D-MN), Gillibrand (D-NY), Graham (R-SC), Grassley (R-IA), Hatch (R-UT), Heller (R-NV), Hoeven (R-ND), Hutchison (R-TX), Inhofe (R-OK), Inouye (D-HI), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Johnson (D-SD), Johnson (R-WI), Kerry (D-MA), Kirk (R-IL), Klobuchar (D-MN), Kohl (D-WI), Kyl (R-AZ), Landrieu (D-LA), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Lee (R-UT), Levin (D-MI), Lieberman (ID-CT), Lugar (R-IN), McCain (R-AZ), McCaskill (D-MO), McConnell (R-KY), Menendez (D-NJ), Mikulski (D-MD), Moran (R-KS), Murkowski (R-AK), Murray (D-WA), Nelson (D-FL), Nelson (D-NE), Paul (R-KY), Portman (R-OH), Pryor (D-AR), Risch (R-ID), Roberts (R-KS), Rubio (R-FL), Schumer (D-NY), Sessions (R-AL), Shaheen (D-NH), Shelby (R-AL), Stabenow (D-MI), Thune (R-SD), Toomey (R-PA), Udall (D-CO), Udall (D-NM), Vitter (R-LA), Warner (D-VA), Webb (D-VA), Wicker (R-MS) and Wyden (D-OR).
To be honest, these are the votes for the South Korean trade deal, not the same for Columbia and Panama. Some Senators voted for one or two of these, but not all three. That is so they can say "I did not support the trade deals" an not be called liars, technically.
More voted for South Korea than any other, and the big problem with this one is, China will use it as an avenue to send products to Korea (re-brand it) and sell in America duty free. These business people really don't get the fact that the rich have sucked all the buying power out of America's middle class and poor. They are wasting their time.

I will post the House votes in a bit....

US Troops In Columbia?

This is about the funniest pic I found if you search the web for "Columbia".


This won't get any press in the US, very hush hush stuff. Why the fuck would be be sending any troops to Columbia if we have no immediate threat from that state?
