Historias de Nadie

01-Noviembre-07
Hace un año mataron en Oaxaca a un joven soñador de los Estados Unidos que enviaba información alternativa a páginas de internet. Su crimen fue el número 20 que se cometió en un lapso de 4 meses en contra de opositores al Gobernador Ulises Ruíz Ortíz. Ninguno ha sido resuelto.
Los pistoleros que salieron a matar ese 27 de octubre de 2006 a las calles de Oaxaca, no eran tan sólo unos simples matones. Eran el gobierno. Son del gobierno todavía. Muchas cámaras los vieron con sus ametralladoras Uzi y sus pistolas 9 milímetros disparando la muerte. Muchos ojos los ven ahora despachando en sus oficinas gubernamentales.
En una de las refriegas provocadas por esos matones cayó muerto Brad. Hoy 2007 el gobierno anuncia que después de un año de investigar el crimen llegó a conclusión a la que interesadamente había llegado hace ya un año el Kaibil que se encargaba de la aplicación de la ley en Oaxaca: A Brad lo mataron a 50 centímetros de distancia, o sea alguien de la APPO. Una vez más la administración de Felipe Calderón respalda en los hechos a la de Ulises Ruíz Ortíz.
La PGR, al igual que el Kaibil hace un año, refritea la teoría del segundo disparo. Teoría que se desvanece con tan sólo ver la portada de MILENIO del 28 de octubre de 2006, en la cual aparece fotografiado el cuerpo de Brad con dos heridas de bala realizadas antes de ser subido al vehículo en el que según los ¿investigadores? recibió el disparo mortal.
Ni el gobierno de Oaxaca, ni la PGR investigaron con seriedad la muerte de Brad. A lo que dedicaron es a simular una investigación y a encubrir a la banda de paramilitares que todo mundo vio operar en esos días y meses en Oaxaca, y que hoy permanece en la impunidad, gobernando.
¿Qué les hace pensar que por repetir mil veces la misma mentira alguien les va a creer abajo?

“Plan Mexico” Claims its First Victims in the Murky Floodwaters of Tabasco
With an Entire State Under Water, Calderón Has Troops Searching Cars for Drugs Instead of Helping
By Greg Berger
Special to The Narco News Bulletin
November 1, 2007
Villahermosa, the capital of Tabasco State, is currently underwater. The heaviest rains in memory have thrust the waters of at least seven rivers in the State above their banks. In many neighborhoods in the capital, rooftops are the only thing peeking out of the flooded waters from the Grijalva river, and in other barrios houses have sunk completely below the depths. Just like we saw in New Orleans in the days following Hurricane Katrina, countless lives have surely been swallowed by the muddy waters.
But just like the tragedy that struck in Louisiana, this disaster is not entirely natural. It is a tragic natural occurrence whose effects might have been mitigated if not for a Mexican government so dangerously prostrate to the Bush administration, that it signed away its most basic responsibilities to its citizens by agreeing to a 1.4 billion dollar package from the U.S. to “fight drugs” that has been dubbed “Plan Mexico.”
What, you may ask, is the connection between Plan Mexico and the heavy rainfall in the Mexican Southeast?

Speakers at Plan Mexico Hearing Admit That Plan Will Not Curb Flow of Drugs to U.S.
by Jennifer Truskowski
02 Nov 2007
While the Bush administration tries to rush the Senate to approve Plan Mexico before the end of the year, the costly plan remains vague and will unlikely achieve its stated goals.
November 2, 2007
On Thursday, October 25, in Washington, DC the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere held a hearing to discuss Plan Mexico, recently renamed the Merida Initiative in a PR attempt to distance this plan from the failed Plan Colombia, which hasn’t reduced the availability of drugs in the U.S., barely reduced the production of cocaine in Colombia, and devastated poor farmers whose food crops have been destroyed and who never received sufficient alternative aid. The Bush administration has still failed to make Plan Mexico details public to citizens or even the officials attending this hearing, which made the discussion almost pointless. Even the purpose of Plan Mexico was unclear. When Chairman Eliot Engel gave his opening speech he asked, “Is our goal to curb the amount of drugs entering the United States or is it to help Mexico and communities on the U.S.-Mexico border to improve their security?”
