Urgent Action Request on Colombian Assassination Plot

18-09-2004 13:06

On Thursday in Oxford Town Hall we heard the most extraordinary and chilling testimony from a man who lives under the threat of imminent death. Luis "Lucho" Hernandez is the President of the main trade union (SINTRAEMCALI) in Colombia's third city, Cali. At the end of August a plot was discovered to assassinate leading left politicians, human rights defenders and trade union leaders, a plot whose tentacles reach to the top of the Colombian government, as far as President Uribe himself. Lucho was one of the people listed for murder.
In his speech to us, Lucho Hernandez did not dwell on the threat to himself, but gave a riveting account of the background reasons for the assassinations of over 3,500 trade union leaders in Colombia in the last 15 years. He sketched out graphically the reasons for this violence - the ruthless IMF/WTO-prescribed privatisation of the Colombian economy, which can only be carried out by killing the opposition to it. The British government is Colombia's second biggest donor of military aid after the US, and Tony Blair one of President Uribe's strongest supporters.

The document below is a necessarily detailed account that gives incontrovertible proof of this most recent assassination plan, and the imminent threat to the lives of a number of named individuals, including Lucho. Please read it and please act with the greatest urgency.

Bush: Mr. Duhhhhhhhh

18-09-2004 01:42

Michael Moore's masterpiece film about events surrounding the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks exposes President Bush as the mental lightweight that he is. On the morning of September 11, 2001, President Bush just sat on a stool even after he was told of a second commercial aircraft had crashed into the second World Trade Center building. President Bush did nothing for seven long minutes except look at the pictures in the child's book, "The Pet Goat". The dumbfounded expressions on Bush's face mirrored what was going on inside of his head. Not much... Especially considering he is supposed to be the leader of the free world.

President GW Bush: A Yellow Chickenhawk

18-09-2004 01:23

Overwhelming evidence proves that President Bush received special treatment not available to the average person. Bush leapfrogged over 500 more qualified men who were waiting for a position in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. Thirty-five hundred Texans died in the Vietnam War. Which one took President GW Bush's place and died in Vietnam? Which Texan has his name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. in the place of GW Bush?
