DELISH!

Viva Colombia y viva justicia!

The surrender... errr... "Peace Deal" with the Guerillas has been rejected in a National Referendum.

If it passed, it would have meant:

1) 10 x unelected seats for FARC in Parliament, automatically- 5 in the Upper house and 5 in the Lower house
2) 16 x seats non-voting (I'm not sure exactly what this means)
3) One time payment of ~$700 USD to each demobilized FARC-person
4) ~$2500 USD to any demobilized FARC-person who starts a business (cannot be kidnapping/ torture/ extortion or Narcoterrorist related)
5) "Every FARC Commander will have special salary and so by ladder until you reach the Secretary of the FARC who will have salary equal to the congressmen."
6) Immunity for fighters (provided they confess all their crimes), slap-on-the-wrist/ house arrest for Commanders
7) Special nationwide FARC TV channel 24 hours to spread Communist propaganda
8) A promise to end Narcotrafficking
9) All the FARC prisoners should be freed
10) Disarmament of FARC weapons should happen

FARC terrorized the country for decades and killed over 200,000 people.

"Peace with FARC" should happen only when the last Communista gets a bullet in the head.

Without knowing the details of the peace accord, I was surprised it was rejected. After seeing the un freakin' believable details of it, I'm not surprised at all and congratulate the Colombian voters on using their head. Peace is a good thing, but the FARC lost, and should be treated as vanquished enemies, not paid off, nor forgiven for their crimes, etc. The were pushed back to the Darien gap to live like animals. Surrender of the FARC should be unconditional at this point.

As do I. What an absurd capitulation to FARC this would have been.

I was in Colombia for ten days last month.

The headline in their press was "2/3 of Colombians opposed the deal in September of '15, and 2/3 support it in September of '16."

Still I met only, like... one or two dopey hippies who supported the deal. I even asked about this in Medellin, and was told that there were apparently hordes of young Colombians with no understanding of the conflict or the suffering of the people who would mob the polls and approve the deal.

This mirrors BREXIT exactly- the people were fed a lie of overwhelming support for liberal policy by the elite media. The goofy leadership- who could have gone full ramrod and stuffed it down the citizens throats (like we do here in America)- put it to the polls in a national referendum (because they were so sure the people would bless off on their bullshit) and they lost. It's so ****ing DELISH. Me lo encanta.

Now the headline is "Shock/ Amazement/ Confusion/ Disbelief!"


I have a better solution.



Better than that...

F**K FARC. Kidnapping, drug dealing mother-FARCers.

I like Medellin a lot. The Paisa people are good folk.

I was in 4 different cities this time, and I still like the coast the best.
