VENEZUELA-CARGILL DISPUTE.
Cargill have been in a precarious position in Venezuela since 2003, when the Bush administration and the CIA, failed to overthrow the lawfully and democratically elected government of Hugo Chevaz.
It is hard to believe that Bush would attempt in similar move in Bolivia in 2008, It was the prompt action of Brazil and Venezuela that prevented this unlawful CIA coup taking place last year.
Cargill have been involved in South America for many years, and enjoy a good reputation in Argentina and Brazil, where they are very big players in the beef and grain industry.
Unfortunately the unlawful activities of the CIA, have put all American companies at risk of being tarred with the same brush, as the administration in Washington.
The United States had their chance to cultivate South America 40 years ago, however chose to support and prop up brutal dictatorships and remove democratically elected governments, with CIA death squads and dirty tricks.
The was unnoticed by most of the world, however from Mexico to Patagonia the Americans were guilty of war crimes, far worse than any in Eastern Europe.
The President of Chile was imprisoned and lost her father in prison, complements of Henry Kissenger, the President of Argentina and her husband went into hiding from the military junta in Argentina propped up by the USA.
Hugo Chavez has done more for Latin America in the last 6 years than the USA in the last 60 years, the new administration is now gong to have to look at reality rather than the CIA spin doctors.
The United States involvement in Colombia is just a game, for the cocaine produced there is for US consumption, despite having only 5% of the worlds population the US consume 70% of the worlds drugs.
It is alleged that the amount of cocaine George Bush put up his nose over the years, would buy a sizeable farm of land in Texas.
Cargill will resolve the situation in Venezuela, despite what reports appear in the media, the company are good old fashioned agricultural traders with an understanding of the region and the people.
