FARC BACK TO ARMS IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN ORGANIZED CRIME´S CASTROIST CHAVIST DICTATORSHIPS.

(Interamerican Institute for Democracy) The FARC´s announcement they are going back to the armed fight is only the most recent Castroist Chavist event in a chain of conspiracy against Americas´democracies in order to sustain its dictatorships in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia.  With this objective in mind, the FARC´s actions are meant to destabilize Colombia, weaken regional policies against Venezuela´s dictatorship, create the conditions for the Castroist Chavist candidate´s electoral victory in Colombia, render open support to narcotics´ trafficking, revitalize Cuban dictatorship´s fake role of mediator, and warn democratic governments on the advent of a new era of armed subversive acts.

“CastroChavism” (Castro and Chavez) is the terms that describes the “Transnational Organized Crime Group” created by Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez in 1999 that seeks to present itself as a leftist, populist, or revolutionary movement that has destroyed Americas´ democratic systems establishing dictatorships in Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Ecuador (Correa), destabilizing and taking Latin American countries to their institutional weakening.  It is an organization controlled by the Cuban dictatorship that conceals through political labels the crimes its members commit daily with the violation of human rights and basic freedoms, institutionalized corruption, usurpation of power, counterfeiting and supplantation, exile and assassinations, narcotics´ trafficking, terrorism, extortion and bribery, conspiracy against democracies, and more.

CastroChavism uses politics to justify its crimes and have impunity.  It has executed, and surpassed, Colombian narcotics´ trafficker Pablo Escobar´s idea to take on politics to conceal narcotics´ trafficking.  Very similarly, Castroist Chavist dictatorships (Diaz-Canel in Cuba, Maduro in Venezuela, Morales in Bolivia, and Ortega-Murillo in Nicaragua) use politics to conceal and cover up crime, to include narcotics´ trafficking with which they have turned their countries into Narco-States.

One of CastroChavism´s most successful accomplishments –up to now- is to give political alibies to the most horrendous crimes they have committed and grant them international quasi-legitimacy.  When Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, or Bolivia´s dictators take political prisoners, assassinate, torture, and violate human rights, the CastroChavism system claims they are “defending the revolution”.  They defend narcotics´ trafficking proclaiming that “the war against narcotics´ trafficking is an instrument created by the imperialism to oppress the people”.   Using Evo Morales as their spokesman at the U.N. in 2016 to cover up “human trafficking” as in the case of enslaved Cuban physicians, or to cover up the corruption scheme with “Odebrecht”, they repeatedly claim that criticism of their regimes are “attacks from the right” or from “imperialism”.

It is about these same things that Ivan Marquez´s statement resonates when he says “we are announcing to the world that the second Marquetalia has started under the patronage of the universal right that grants al nations of the world to rise up in arms against oppression”.  Simply stated, it is the voice of Cuba´s dictatorship fore-warning, with the fallacious reasoning of “rising up against oppression” the reactivation of criminal actions that stained the Americas and Africa with blood since the decade of the sixties.

Cuba and Venezuela´s dictatorships are known worldwide, Nicaragua and Bolivia´s dictatorships can no longer deceive about their dictatorial nature and their criminal Castroist Chavist structure.  All of them; are in economic crises, have been identified as Narco-States, sustain terrorism, have political prisoners and exiles, commit all sorts of crime daily, encourage illegal migration.

To continue holding on to power, they apply the strategy “to hold on to power at any cost, to conspire against democracies that point their finger at them, to politicize their crime, and to negotiate”.  The announcement by the FARC is a warning made by conspirators against democracy, it is a regional action and not a local one, let alone solely a Colombian one.  Cuba will, no doubt, appear soon with the fallacious reasoning to negotiate.

The CastroChavism system also conspires against democracies through narcotics´ trafficking, applying Castro and Che Guevara´s manifesto “to flood the empire with drugs to eliminate its youth”.  This is why cocaine from the FARC and Evo Morales´ coca-leaf harvesters, is indispensable to attack the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia,  Central America, the Caribbean, and the entire region.
