Invited paper to be presented to the "National Rural communities, Afro-descendant and Indigenous for Land and Peace in Colombia: The dialogue is Route", from 12 to 15 August 2011, Barrancabermeja - Colombia

Introduction:

We live in a time of great destruction and grand economic aprovechadas y Latin America is no exception. In the global context, the U.S. Empire is engaged in destructive wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Haiti). In contrast China, India, Brazil, Argentina and other "emerging economies" are expanding trade, investments and Reducing Poverty. The European Union (EU) and the United States (USA) are in deep economic crises. The EU "periphery" (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain) are totally bankrupt. The U.S. "dependencies" in North America (Mexico), Central America and the Caribbean are virtual narco-states plagued by mass poverty, astronomical crime rates and economic stagnation. The U.S. dependencies are plundered by foreign multi-nationals, the local oligarchs and corrupt politicians. CONTINUE READING (Continue reading) Colombia: Pillage, Promise and Peace
