The letter demonstrates that the whole world truly is watching the proceedings of the Drug War on Trial case in New York City, including from the jungles under attack by the $1.3 billion dollar Plan Colombia US military intervention. The solidarity letter appears exactly as it was sent - in Spanish - followed by a translation to English. It is signed by Gabriel Angel, insurgent guerrilla soldier and member of the FARC-EP issues commission (comisi�n tem�tica). It has not gone unnoticed in our Am�rica that the same mercenary lawyer-lobbyist firm that brought a frivolous SLAPP suit against Narco News on behalf of the National Bank of Mexico (Banamex) - Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Feld LLP - is also a registered foreign agent in Washington for the narco-state government of Colombia, and specifically lobbied to impose Plan Colombia. The Narco News Bulletin thanks the FARC for its attention and solidarity in this important international free speech case, and notes, to paraphrase the late President Kennedy, that those who make peaceful speech impossible make violent revolution inevitable. >From somewhere else in a country called Am�rica, Al Giordano Publisher The Narco News Bulletin http://www.narconews.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enc: Spanish and English versions of FARC-EP solidarity letter From: Gabriel Angel <email address excised> To: "Alberto M. Giordano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Solidaridad Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2001 23:16:54 +0200 (MEST) Apreciado Alberto: Cr�ame usted cuando le digo que nuestra solidaridad estar� acompa��ndolo ante ese tribunal y todos los tribunales del mundo que tengan como objeto silenciar la verdad y obligar a abdicar a la dignidad latinoamericana en su empe�o transformador. Ninguna corte americana, ni de ning�n lugar del mundo, menos aquellas que sirven de fieles instrumentos a los poderes financieros internacionales, resistir� el juicio de la historia. Y estamos empe�ados en que todas las instancias de la infamia caigan a tierra por obra de la fuerza organizada de los pueblos ahora sometidos, pero ma�ana libres y vencedores. Un abrazo de hermano, Gabriel �ngel Comisi�n Tem�tica FARC-EP Colombia Translation: SOLIDARITY Dear Alberto, Believe me when I tell you that our solidarity will accompany you to that court and all courts of the world that try to silence, obligate and abdicate Latin American dignity in its transforming determination. There is no American court, nor one anywhere in the world, and certainly not those that serve as faithful instruments of international financial powers, that will survive the judgment of history. And we are determined that, in all its forms, their infamy will fall to earth due to the organized work of the people who are now submitted, but tomorrow shall be free and victorious. A hug from a brother, Gabriel Angel member, Issues Commission FARC-EP Colombia _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
