Evo Morales: USA promoted drug trafficking in Colombia to justify baseshttp://colombiareports.com/colombia-news/news/7133-us-promoted-drug-trafficking-in-colombia-to-justify-bases-evo-morales.html
Colombia Reports (Ashley Hamer): Bolivian President Evo Morales, claimed Tuesday the US encouraged drug trafficking and terrorism in Colombia to justify it's military presence there. In press conference Morales indicated his view that Colombia had maintain anti-drug accords with the US since 1952, yet they have not been able to eradicate the country's drug trade. "I am convinced that the United States encouraged drug trafficking in Colombia to justify a military base there," stressed Morales, reported newspaper El Espectador Tuesday.The Bolivian President also indicated that although he did not have information on the status of the FARC guerrillas in 1952, the US also "promoted terrorism in order to justify North American presence [in Latin America].""Wherever the empire is present there will never be integration, nor peace, nor the assurance of democracy, nor the development of that country. The empire always comes accompanied by military bases," Morales further declared.According to Morales the US use of military bases on Colombian soil is actually an invasion of South America, where a rebellion exists in countries such as Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia against such presence. Morales is among various Latin American leaders who have strongly opposed the Colombia-US agreement, which was signed in November and allows for the US military to use some seven airbases throughout Colombia.

There has been a transformation before our collective eyes in the absolute balance of power between the nation-state and the transnational corporation. In today's global economy, the nation-state is a second order political power to the private corporate world.At the heart of the new global governance system is inter-firm and inter-sector coordination and competition. So it is not surprising that some firms and sectors will be significant losers in the battle for control of the global governance system. The rapid collapse of firms since September 2008 and consequent concentration of capital in the remaining enterprises means that the prevailing firms and sectors will have more concentrated power and capital in their hands than the prior governance system.The movement toward corporate global governance has also induced the development of a counter-force—new constituency-based alliances that are not geographically defined. They are civil society alliances with the goal of bringing together organizations and individuals around specific themes or identities on a global or regional basis.
