Daily Headlines: March 15, 2010


* Chile: Parts of Chile continue to be without electricity after a massive blackout on Sunday night plunged most of the country into darkness. (Update: Electricity is expected to be restored to all of Chile by today. Yet as the video above shows, Chileans had their nerves tested by the blackout that occurred weeks after a deadly major tremor).

* U.S.: If the Republican Party wants to appeal to Latino voters then they should lay off the staunch anti-immigration rhetoric such as “(reviving) the thrust of Proposition 187” in California.

* Venezuela: Officials claimed that police seized over two tons of cocaine originally bound for Europe.

* Argentina: Did the Vatican help the late Nazi Adolf Eichmann flee Germany for Argentina?

Worst possible catastrophe in Colombian Elections : The triumph of Criminals, Paracos, Narcos, Paramilitaries, Swindlers, Money Launderers, Dirty Money


Colombia is the closest ally of the United States in Latin America.

That Sad Result is the effect of having Uribe for 8 years.

The worst possible catastrophe in Colombian Legislative Elections.

The triumph of Criminals, Paracos, Narcos, Paramilitaries, The relatives of those processed by Justice and unable to present their names because of Indictments, Accusations and Judicialization.

OK, many people have been expelled and kicked out from the Colombian Congress for being Narcos, Mafia, Paramilitaries, Swindlers, Thieves, etc ...

But their brothers, sisters, spouses, sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, etc ... can present their names for Legislative Elections.

And they have been elected in great numbers, ( because of millions of dollars in narco dirty money ) ... These are all right wingers.

Meanwhile the honorable and decent people from the left or center did not win the election and are out of Congress.

People that have stolen public money, or given it to their relatives and friends get elected.

Very sad, extremely sad.

Colombia is the closest ally of the United States in Latin America.

We'll touch on Colombia's legislative elections later today with one of the main themes being how yesterday's big winner was corruption.
