Israel Helped in FARC Hostage Rescue Operation

As the world continues to beat the Jews into submission and reluctant suicide, the Jews continue to save the free world. It felt like Entebbe so I am not surprised Israel had a hand in the rescue mission that saved the lives of the 15 hostages held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) (yes the same FARC that had Obama on their computers.) Yes, the same Obama and his friends (the ones he won't throw under the bus) that sympathizes with those leftist murderers.

"Senator Obama is wrong on America's Free Trade Agreement with Colombia, which is fighting Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chavez for the liberty of South American democracies - Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil are all in danger from Chavez's ambitions for a Marxist Continent."

Betancourt rescue in Colombia: Israeli connection Ynet News hat tip Atlas readers

(Video) Colombian hostage Ingrid Betancourt mentions Israel in shower of praise following her rescue; most likely not by chance. Israeli advising team, headed by former Sayeret Matkal officer Maj.-Gen. (Res.) Israel Ziv, may have been involved in operation Israel News

VIDEO - "I am unaware of a precedent to such a perfect mission. Maybe only the Israelis…their  wonderful commandos may be reminiscent of the mission that took place here." This is how kidnapped Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt described the daring rescue operation that brought her back to her family.

Betancourt was released on Wednesday in a complicated military campaign involving months of planning. It came into affect without one shot being fired.

[...]

The Israeli consultation was focused mainly on intelligence issues, special operations and integration and coordination between different security elements. This was in order to prepare them for a coordinated and productive campaign within a short period of time.

 

The group was headed by Major-General (Res.) Israel Ziv, who served as the head of operations in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit up until four years ago.

Ziv and at least some of his men have already returned but it is likely that the consultation he gave to the Colombian security forces assisted them in attaining the list of successes they have been enduring lately against the FARC rebel organization CONTD..

Captain Thurston wrote previously of Columbia's terrorists and their tied to the Democrats:

Based on the information found on the laptops, the Colombian National Ministry of Defense reported last month that authorities had seized 60 pounds of uranium that belonged to FARC.

The fact that the information has now been confirmed as authentic is horrible news for Colombia's FARC supporting neighbors and US Democrats.

Here is a partial list of what Colombian investigators found on the FARC terror leader's computer:

-- FARC connections with Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa
-- Records of $300 million offerings from Hugo Chavez
-- Thank you notes from Hugo Chavez dating back to 1992
-- Uranium purchasing records
-- Admit to killing the sister of former President Cesar Gaviria
-- Admit to planting a 2003 car bomb killing 36 at a Bogota upper crust club
-- Directions on how to make a Dirty Bomb
-- Information that led to the discovery of 60 pounds of uranium
-- Letter to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi asking for cash to buy surface-to-air missiles
-- Meetings with "gringos" about Barack Obama
-- Information on Russian illegal arms dealer Viktor Bout who was later captured
-- FARC funding Correa's campaign
-- Cuban links to FARC
-- Links to US Democrats
-- $480,000 of FARC cash in Costa Rican safe house
-- $100,000 to President Correa's campaign for election

You can draw your own conclusions about the danger of 60 pounds of uranium in the hands of marxist terrorists. And you can draw your own conclusions as to the importance of this passage that was allegedly found on the seized laptops, now confirmed authentic by Interpol:

The gringos will ask for an appointment with the minister to solicit him to communicate to us his interest in discussing these topics. They say that the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support "Plan Colombia" nor will he sign the TLC (Colombian Free Trade agreement). Here we responded that we are interested in relations with all governments in equality of conditions and that in the case of the US it is required a public pronouncement expressing their interest in talking with the FARC given their eternal war against us.

You can draw your own conclusions. But in light of his Reverend Wright and William Ayers ties, his adherence to the Marxist black liberation religion, his stance on free trade agreements, and his despising of free-thinking, gun-toting small town America, I will draw my own conclusion too. Obama is a marxist. And while you may not see it, marxist rebels with uranium do.

UPDATE: Obama, most inartful. (lol)

*************************************************************

Israel supports Columbia in her fight against terror as does Atlas and  every  freedom loving man. The media will spin this differently but Columbia is in the same fight we are. Chavez is licking his chops stoking the fires of war and ..... Jew hatred.

Columbia takes Chavez to International Criminal Court BBC:

Colombian President Alvaro Uribe says he will ask the International Criminal Court to bring genocide charges against President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

He accused Mr Chavez of sponsoring and financing Colombian Farc rebels. Venezuela denies the charge.

Colombian officials say a laptop found during a raid on a Farc camp held files indicating Venezuela gave Farc $300m.

Important to watch the align of nations in the lead up to the unavoidable world war. It is important to expose the increasing Jew hatred in in Venezuela. Since Chavez it has become virulent.

Check these articles out, read them carefully.  There's a campaign going on against the Jews in  Venezuela and it really is noteworthy, regarding Chavez' declaration of  Columbia being the Israel of Latin America. This guys enemies are, of  course, the Jews.

Israel supports Columbia in its War on Terror. Chavez is apoplectic and will call upon the  dangerous  alliances with Islamic jihad, Hezb'Allah for one:

In a nearer and more dangerous scenario which also has Venezuela as a starting point, Hezbollah in Latin America, also called Hezbollah Venezuela, converts to Islam any indigenous Chavista it can, because they are the ones that least understand what is going on. Evangelical missionaries have disappeared from the jungle because according to Chavez they are genocidal spies. Evo Morales in Bolivia repeats Chavez's same words.

Chavez has invited Iranian Shiite "missionaries" to convert the Guajiros and other indigenous peoples in Amazonia. The entire Wayuu tribe is now Muslim, women wear veils while men go to Kalashnikov shooting practice. Some have themselves photographed wearing suicide vests loaded with bombs, and the Venezuelan government distributes the photos, publicizing its friendship with Ahmadinejad and Middle East terrorist groups.

THE CHAVEZ REGIME: Fostering Anti-Semitism and Supporting Radical Islam ADL

Over the years, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has befriended a number of questionable figures in South America and also in the Middle East where he has formed bonds through both OPEC and ideological channels. As Chavez's hatred of the United States Israe has grown, he has become close allies with a number of the West's most dangerous adversaries. These relationships grew only stronger during the Israel-Hezbollah war, when Chavez was outspoken in his criticism of Israel and the United States and in his support for Hezbollah.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – President of Iran

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad explicitly threatens to wipe Israel< from the map, denies the Holocaust and defies the democratic world by supporting terrorism and extremism and pursuing nuclear weapons.

Chavez has visited Iran on several occasions, has hosted President Ahmadinejad in  Venezuela and has made extensive bilateral agreements with the current Iranian government. On July 30, 2006, while visiting Iran, Chavez and Ahmadinejad took part in a joint press conference at which Ahmadinejad stated, "Just like my dear brother Chavez expressed, [Israel's incursion] is a real shameful crime, and a handful of Zionists see an open path to crime…. We believe the real criminals are those who have created this illegal regime.

Also disturbing is Chavez's Argentinian ties:

BUENOS AIRES-Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has developed close links         with Argentine radicals ranging from Communists to right-wing nationalists,  some of whom, knowledgeable people here fear, have the potential to further  destabilize Argentina as it struggles to emerge from its worst economic crisis in decades.

In the Caribbean heat of Caracas, a continent away from the mock-Parisian         boulevards of Buenos Aires, Mr. Chavez is presiding over his own deepening         economic and political crisis. But his domestic troubles haven't kept him from working hard to push his notion of populist revolution. In Argentina, which is struggling to emerge from its own economic debacle, some in the    country's political leadership worry about the influence Mr. Chavez, who is due here for Sunday's inauguration of Nestor Kirchner, the country's   new president, exerts over local radicals.

There isn't any evidence that the Venezuelan leader is working to overthrow         governments. But his politicking comes at a very delicate time in Latin America. Fragile democracies throughout the region are struggling to cope with an economic downturn and growing popular resentment at the market-based  economic policies pushed by Washington and Wall Street. Mr. Chavez, who  has been accused of trying to turn Venezuela into a second Cuba, spouts   a heady mix of nationalist, leftist and populist sentiments.

Note also that there's a growing presence of Hezbollah in Venezuela and read this document here:

    The October 23, 2006 failed explosive operation in Caracas     On October 23, 2006, the Baruta Municipality police found two explosive devices near     the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela. One of the bombs was found in a box     containing leaflets making reference to the Lebanese radical Islamic group Hezbollah.     The local television news network, Globovision, reported one of the devices found in a     flowerpot near the Embassy, while the other device found outside a school, near the     diplomatic premises.     Wilfredo Porras, acting director of the Baruta police, said they arrested a man carrying “a backpack with six containers of 100 black powder bases, pliers, adhesive tape, glue and electric leads". At that time, the suspect declared the devices were “set to explode in 15 minutes".     1 “The idea was apparently to create alarm and publicize a message", Borraz told reporters, explaining that the explosives were made to scatter the pamphlets.2 It is possible that the second device was intended to explode near the Israeli Embassy but the suspect gotnervous and dropped it near the American Embassy.     \The arrested man is Jose Miguel Rojas Espinoza, a 26-year-old student of the state-run     Bolivarian University founded by President Hugo Chaves, offering free education.

    An organization calling itself the Hezbollah Latin America (Hezbollah LA) took     responsibility for the attack on October 25 on their website and promised they would     stage other simultaneous attacks, with the same goal of publicizing the organization. The website presented Rojas as “the brother mujahedeen, the first example of dignity and struggle in the cause of Allah, the first prisoner of the revolutionary Islamic movement Hezbollah Venezuela”.3 The organization already threatened to explode a non-lethal device on August 18, 2006, which is surprising since they publicly announced their plans and because no one seemed to take notice to this warning. The target mentioned was an ally of the U.S. in a Latin American city in order to launch its propaganda campaign. Hezbollah Venezuela would see this as a beginning of their war against imperialism and Zionism and to show its solidarity with the Lebanese Hizballah after the July war in Lebanon (see Annex 1).

Read this excerpt:

"The Sephardic Tiferet Israel Synagogue suffered repeated attacks in the wake of several pro-Chavez demonstrations (see also ASW 2003/4). Following a government organized rally on 16 May under the banner “Against terrorism and foreign involvement, for respect of sovereignty, the homeland and the Constitution,” a group of persons scrawled slogans on its walls and in the car park, in the name of the ‘Simon Bolivar Coordination’ (Coordinadora Simón Bolívar − CSB) and the ‘Revolutionary Left Youth’ (Juventud de Izquierda Revolucionaria − JIR). It should be noted that Chavez’s revolution − the ‘Bolivarian revolution’ − is named after the 19th century general Simón Bolívar (El Liberator). The slogans read, inter alia: “Don’t allow Colombia to be the Israel of Latin America [an allusion to US attempts to bring Colombia under its wing in order to fight left-wing guerilla groups]”; Sharon is a murderer of the Palestinian People”; “Viva the armed Palestinian people”; and “Free Palestine.”

Similar graffiti, as well as the slogan “Jews go home,” appeared on the wall of synagogue after a pro-government rally on 6 June. It was signed by the pro-Chavez Communist Youth and the Communist Party of Venezuela. On 8 August a group of supporters from a pro-Chavez rally held at the close of his anti-referendum campaign daubed slogans such as: “Sharon is a murder. No to Israel,” with the letter ‘S’ shaped like a swastika. They also wrote, inter alia: “Viva Chavez and Arafat”; and “NO to Zionism.”

Virulently anti-Israel posters appeared on the streets of Caracas in December during the Second Bolivarian Congress of the People (II Congreso Bolivariano de los Pueblos). Signed by pro-government organizations such as MVR (Movimiento Bolivariano Revolucionario/Movimiento Quinta Republica [Quinta=5 in Roman numbers], the Chavez Party), the Communist Party in Venezuela (Partido Comunista de Venezuela) and Coordinadora Simón Bolívar, they read, inter alia: “Neither Orlando Urdaneta [Venezuelan anti-Chavez actor] nor the super-terrorist Israelis will succeed with our people”; “No to the Israeli commandos in Caracas”; “No to the involvement of Israelis in our nation”; “No to the Mossad and no to the CIA”; and “Bush+Sharon = murderers.”"

War: Ecuador, Columbia ..... Venezuela

Chavez Warns of War With Colombia

"The Colombian government has become the Israel of Latin America."

Hugo Chavez, March 2, 2008  (hat tip Chadwick)

And Chavez has become the Iran of SouthAmerica.

War has come to SouthAmerica......... stock up on your lattes folks. Ecuador's president has ordered troops to the border with Colombia, following a similar move by Venezuela (Gd forbid, Huge Chavez kept his fat ass out of it). Clearly he wants escalation.

The Bush Doctrine is ALIVE, at least in South America ............ now for the Middle East.....

ECUADOR LEADER "LINKED TO REBELS"

Colombia has said documents found in a cross-border raid suggest links between left-wing Farc rebels and Ecuador's President Rafael Correa.

Colombian troops had entered Ecuador in a raid that killed a Farc leader, Raul Reyes, and 16 other rebels.

A good thing. The guy was a bloody terrorist of the first order.

Ecuador has expelled Colombia's ambassador following the attack and is sending troops to the border.

Earlier Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he was sending thousands of troops and tanks to its border.

A spokesman for Colombian President Alvaro Uribe told reporters the documents provided information that "Correa has a relationship and commitments with Farc".

>Love Uribe. He must have had the tacit support of the Bush administration - strong ally. So our men must be in the neighborhood.

Police commander Gen Oscar Naranjo said one document showed Reyes had met Ecuador's minister of internal security and that they discussed Mr Correa's "interest in making official relations with the Farc".

FARC:  Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army (in Spanish Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia–Ejército del Pueblo), also known by the acronym of FARC or FARC-EP is a guerrilla organization with a Marxist-Leninist ideology. FARC is considered a terrorist group by the Colombian government, the United States^[1], Canada^[2], and the European Union.^[3][4]

Earlier, Colombian Foreign Minister Fernando Araujo went on television to express regret that it had to enter Ecuador.

But he said that the raid about 1.8km (one mile) inside Ecuador was "indispensable".

                                 

Farc 'invincibility' shattered Analysis: War talk

After Mr Araujo's statement, Mr Correa said: "I have decided on the immediate expulsion of Colombia's ambassador in Ecuador (Carlos Holguin)."

Mr Correa also said he was calling for an immediate meeting of the Organisation of American States and the Andean Community of Nations.

Speaking on his weekly television show, President Chavez had said Venezuela's embassy in Colombia would close.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Mr Chavez said he was reacting to the "cowardly murder" of Reyes.

Cowardly? Seems damn brave to me.

Mr Chavez has been mediating with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - or Farc - to secure the release of hostages the rebels hold, and six have so far been freed under this initiative.

But he lamented the killing of Reyes - whom he called a "good revolutionary" - when he spoke on his show, "Alo, Presidente".

The morality of Chavez - a good murderer. That's our boy.

Chavez is itchin for a fight:

Chavez called Colombian President Alvaro Uribe "a criminal" and branded his government a "terrorist state," likening it to Israel for its U.S.-backed attacks on militants.
