What is even worse: there is no end in sight to their power.<br /><br />Then we have Evo Morales <a href="http://is.gd/bFUAI" rel="nofollow">speaking</a> about US Government not investing in Bolivia because they didn't sign the Copenhaguen Accord:<br /><br /><i>The thing is that there’s permanent sabotage and blackmail from the US government. I cannot believe that a black president can have so much vengeance with an Indian president, because our grandparents and our populations, black and indigenous, have been excluded, marginalized, humiliated. That’s where Obama is coming from, from that experience and that suffering. And me, too. And so, it’s one who’s been discriminated against discriminating against another who’s been discriminated against, one oppressed who is oppressing another oppressed. So much blackmail, and the so much blackmail we had experienced before, and now I’m being subject to $3 million blackmail. <br /><br />...Of course, for social programs, as well as environmental programs, but that’s just $3 million. In terms of fighting drug trafficking, they have the responsibility to make an investment, and that it’s not just a question of cooperation, it’s a matter of an obligation on their part. Nonetheless, they have pulled out, and we are facing drug trafficking alone—some crumb to make it seem like something, certainly. And so, for example, I had information that they were going to invest in the Millennium Development Account, like $600 million, and they withdrew all of it. And so, we worked this out with other countries. We’re talking about investment. One is not going to raise that claim about this. We are a country of dignity. <br /><br />But what they do is take vengeance, intimidate. And that is why my doubt is, one who has been subjugated, one’s family has been subjugated to discrimination, is now president; how is it possible that he can discriminate against another movement that has been discriminated against? It is the peoples who will hear. </i><br /><br />So this guy who says that capitalism is killing the Pachamama, has not signed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_Accord" rel="nofollow">Copenhaguen Accord</a>, in which supposedly they are fighting climate change. But he wants to receive money promised ONLY if his country signed it. He looks like an idiot, but he isn't. He really is cunning, he knows he has made a fascist, racist (against non-Indian Bolivians) and he doesn't have money because great firms, after the nationalisation process are not very willing to invest there (the same happens in Venezuela). And he is just playing the victim card...<br /><br />This interview has been published by the "Islam Times".
