Can't remember when I've read anything dumber on this board-it's painfully apparent that WB hasn't been near Vancouver in this century.

Yes they are thick on the ground-them and Sushi joints.

The Vancouver suburb of Richmond has a number of so-called Asian malls-it's hard for me to imagine less interesting places.

Maybe if you posted while sober you'd make some sense-maybe.

The Chilean Army is often spoken of as the last true jackbooted army-a notoriously brutal bunch of thugs-and of course the Chilean Govt is infamous for genocide against indigenous Mapuche CHILE SENDS TROOPS TO TROUBLED RAPA NUI Islanders continue to occupy traditional lands WELLINGTON, New Zealand (RNZI, Oct. 4, 2010) - A Rapa Nui man based in New York says people occupying their ancestral lands on Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, are on high alert following the arrival of a new military team from Chile. Santi Hitorangi says about 70 of his family members are still occupying the Hanga Roa Hotel which they claim is on land taken from them illegally. Mr. Hitorangi says a military plane arrived from Chile last week carrying troops to augment Chile’s existing military presence on the island but he’s hopeful proceedings underway through the Inter-American Court of Human Rights will help protect locals. "There are children involved in all of this so they are very mindful the children are involved and will ask the state of Chile to adhere to international rules as to how to treat indigenous people." Reports from Chile say a committee of regional and central government officials has been formed to address islanders concerns. [PIR editor’s note: According to Hitorangi, indigenous Rapa Nui islanders have been occupying traditional lands since July 31 in a demonstration against "colonial" occupation by the Chile government. He said the Hanga Roa property was illegally sold during the Pinochet regime to a non-Rapanui person, and was subsequently transferred to a non-Rapanui corporation, in violation of Chilean law. Hitorangi also said, "Chile has refused to conduct serious and meaningful peaceful negotiations…." ] Radio New Zealand International: http://www.rnzi.com/

You're a tad mixed up-well more than a tad. It's not me who posts endlessly on places I've never been it's you. BTW-Have you heard the Fabulous News from the jungles of Choco? Of course Choco is a place you've never been to/will never go to/can't pronounce but that won't stop you posting on it-never does.

A dead criminal gangster is a good criminal gangster-I make no distinctions. I understand it's hard for someone with such a limited view of the trailer park world to imagine how the planet functions but it's nothing like the double wide. Some of us have seen enough/been enough places that we don't feel the need to spout ideological drivel at every turn.

Expect to see a lot more of this-the house of cards is crumbling Spain arrests members of 'Farc money-laundering ring' Spanish police have detained 41 people suspected of laundering over 200m euros to finance Colombia's Farc militant insurgents. Police also seized more than 150,000 euros during searches in 13 cities across Spain. Investigators believe that the money was earned from smuggling drugs. Police officers in Colombia and Ecuador have been conducting a parallel investigation and have detected a link between the money and Farc. Spanish police searched 27 homes and offices during this operation. A police video shows officers using sniffer dogs and finding suitcases and cupboards stuffed full of cash. Colombia's largest guerrilla group has been fighting to overthrow the Colombian government for almost 50 years and is renowned for its involvement in drug trafficking. It is two years since the Spanish police got a tip-off about an increase in unusually large transfers of money to Colombia and Ecuador. They now believe the money came from cocaine sales across Europe, and that some of the profit may have been destined for the Farc. Spain is a key entry point for cocaine into Europe. Colombian police say one person who recycled the cash has links to the insurgency there. He is tied to another 12 recipients of the transfers. Just before this operation began in 2008, police arrested a woman suspected of being the Farc's representative in Spain, providing logistical and financial support. The identity and nationality of those detained this time has not been released, but police say three suspects are members of a criminal gang based in Madrid.

No I do not-quite unlike you. Of course I've visited many many places in my life and speak a number of languages-again unlike you.

Indeed-I am fluent in Spanish and have visited Colombia-I Win! You must be crying in your 2% beer over the news re:the commie traitor Piedad Cordoba-will you send her fraternal greetings when she's stripped of political immunity and sent away to rot? Because it couldn't happen to a more deserving 'person'. Maybe you could join her when she finally makes a run for the People's Republic of Blatant Idiocy (formerly known as Venezuela).

Not speaking the language and never having been near the country in question constitute cluelessness forty (40) ways to Sunday.

Abject cluelessness and ideological mental straightjacket noted.

Maybe not now but 15+ years ago maybe there was.

His euro-whore caught a bullet as well Dutch FARC woman probably killed in Colombia It is being reported that Tanja Nijmeijer, a Dutch member of Colombia’s FARC rebel movement, has been killed. Radio Netherlands Worldwide learned of her likely death from sources in Colombia. She is thought to have joined the FARC in 2002. It is reported she was among 20 to 30 FARC rebels killed in a Colombian army operation. Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos has confirmed that the FARC’s military leader in the east of the country, Jorge Briceño, known as Mono Jojoy, also died in the attack. Ms Nijmeijer had been working as Jojoy’s personal assistant for the last few months. Colombian government forces recently launched an offensive against the FARC. Last week, at least 27 rebels were killed in an army raid on a FARC camp. Another rebel commander died in the operation. On Monday, 44 people were arrested on suspicion of supplying the rebels with weapons.

Note-the presence of Roman artifacts in Brasilian harbours is easily explained-colonial era ships took up ballast in Old World harbours (stones/what have you) then dumped said ballast in the New World when they loaded their ships up with goods. As to Phoenicians http://www.phoenicia.org.uk/inspiring-blog.htm is fun to follow whether you believe in what they're highlighting or not.

The next mole is already in place but will have fewer resources to draw on. Yes it's an ongoing situation and as this gang-which once had thousands and thousands of members- is whittled down finding and stamping out smaller and smaller groups of bandits will be time consuming and expensive. There is no alternative though-they must surrender or die. One particularly successful part of the Govt strategy is paying turncoats for information-even simple things like caches of gasoline-have a price attached. People will sell their own Mothers for money-in that these former leftist traffickers are no different from anyone else.

The end of an era in Colombia with the death of this notorious ratbag murderer trafficker who died cowering in the jungle like the rat we all knew he was Colombian army kills top Farc rebel leader Mono Jojoy One of the most senior leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) has been killed, say reports. Jorge Briceno, also known as Mono Jojoy, died in a military air strike in the Macarena region, known to be a Farc stronghold, local media said. President Jose Manuel Santos said Jojoy's death was "the hardest blow" in the history of the rebel movement. The Marxist Farc rebels have been fighting the Colombian authorities since the mid-1960s. Jojoy was believed to be leader of the Farc's strongest fighting division, the Eastern Bloc, and had eluded Colombian security forces for almost 10 years. The United States had offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.2m) for information leading to his arrest or conviction. "A military source has confirmed that it defeated a group of rebels during an operation involving the four branches of the military," Colombia's attorney general Guillermo Mendoza said in a radio interview. He said soldiers had found the body of Jojoy. Another 20 rebels were also killed in the attack, an official at the defence ministry told the AFP news agency. Violent month The BBC's Jeremy McDermott in Bogota says Jojoy's death will be a major coup for Colombia's new President Juan Manuel Santos. It also leaves the Eastern Bloc without a leader, which is likely to seriously affect rebel morale, says our correspondent. The rebels have said they are prepared to find a political solution to the conflict, and have appealed to Mr Santos to enter talks. But they have stepped up their violent campaign since Mr Santos took office on 7 August, killing more than 40 security personnel in the past month. Mr Santos has said the rebels must give up their arms and release all the hostages they are holding before talks can take place. It comes a few days after another guerrilla Farc commander, Sixto Cabana, was shot dead along with 27 other rebels close to the border with Ecuador. The US State Department said Mr Cabana has been behind the export of hundreds of tons of cocaine around the world and was responsible for

I can't speak pig French-what were the protestors saying?

Heyerdahl did most things backward but what really grabbed people's attention was his KonTiki expeditition which crossed the Pacifc from Peru to Polynesia just after WW2. It proved very little but gave hope to a lot of people in war torn Euroland who were still dirt poor and traumatised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGooopCTmpg

All Old News and timed to coincide with increasing opposition to foreign military presence in Afghanistan.

That's how they caught Gary Glitter, the first time anyway, the second time he was caught abusing kids in Viet Nam and spent a couple years in jail there.

Note-if this sickens you Please be sure to post it far and wide and send it to as many media outlets as you can think of-these goons are out of control.
