TRAFFICKERS OF DEATH
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
[La Jornada, 8/25/96. Translation by Conspiracy Nation.]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mexico -- The Ministry of Agriculture of the United Kingdom
|
||
|
|
"invited" the British authorities to not control the source of
|
||
|
|
more than 2 million cows exported to the European continent, in
|
||
|
|
spite of the danger of infections and death caused by "mad cow
|
||
|
|
disease." At the same time it decided to prohibit the sale of
|
||
|
|
the dangerous meat in continental Europe, it authorized its
|
||
|
|
exportation to eastern Europe and to the Third World. Also, you
|
||
|
|
will recall, the sale in Latin America of radioactive milk,
|
||
|
|
contaminated by the Chernobyl disaster, has been allowed -- milk
|
||
|
|
which still has no European market. In our country [Mexico], has
|
||
|
|
been destined for human consumption corn not fit for pigs. In
|
||
|
|
fact, money does not stink, as the Romans used to say and, when
|
||
|
|
it comes to business, there are no lack of states which push to
|
||
|
|
one side all scruples and play with death, for supposed
|
||
|
|
advantage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The war in Chechnya, terrible for the number of victims and for
|
||
|
|
the atrocities suffered by a colonized people, is almost a case
|
||
|
|
study in how private fortunes are amassed at the cost of public
|
||
|
|
misery and misfortune. General Alexander Lebed, in his collision
|
||
|
|
with the recycled Establishment that controls always oil and
|
||
|
|
armaments and holds high places in the Russian government, has
|
||
|
|
denounced the fact that these persons have a financial interest
|
||
|
|
in war and oppose peace. Journalists add, for their part, that
|
||
|
|
behind the combats, what is liberated is a battle for oil and
|
||
|
|
lining the pockets of many military commands. The thing is that,
|
||
|
|
to its misfortune, Chechnya is very rich in hydrocarbons and oil,
|
||
|
|
and what is produced or passes through there can make
|
||
|
|
millionaires, in the blink of an eye, those who, in Moscow,
|
||
|
|
secretly export fuel. Besides, a war gives power to the military
|
||
|
|
and serves to conceal a contraband in weapons. It is enough, in
|
||
|
|
effect, to declare that the combatants have consumed or destroyed
|
||
|
|
quantities of arms and munitions beyond what has occurred in
|
||
|
|
order to be able to sell them clandestinely in the exterior via a
|
||
|
|
traffic that ensures that combats and bombings will be intensive
|
||
|
|
and will last as long as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Power, evidently, corrupts so-called "democratic societies" as
|
||
|
|
much as it corrupts any others. The world technocrats, for their
|
||
|
|
part, tend to consider the common human being a simple,
|
||
|
|
predictable variable and to think that anything is good which
|
||
|
|
offers the opportunity to oil the economic machine -- even the
|
||
|
|
deaths of thousands of unknowns. Society, even in civilized
|
||
|
|
Europe, can control neither the governments nor the economic
|
||
|
|
decisions of the grand *senors* of finance. And from the point
|
||
|
|
of view of ethics, we live in a period similar to the period of
|
||
|
|
Roman decadence. More than ever is needed a total transparency
|
||
|
|
to reveal acts of government, and social control over that
|
||
|
|
government, a total liberty of investigation and information on
|
||
|
|
the part of a free and independent press. At first glance, this
|
||
|
|
might seem little, but that can be enough to put obstacles in the
|
||
|
|
way of those who massively line their pockets by means of death.
