Bolivia terror plot: Another Irish connection comes to light

mike-dwyer-cowboy.jpg

A heavily armed Michael Dwyer poses with some of his stash in a hotel in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Looks like this Irish cowboy wasn’t the only one from his country involved in this…

Via Bolivia’s Erbol news service, the latest installment in a continuing saga:

Yasser Mohammed, an Irish citizen detained in Brazil this week by that country’s security forces, will be extradited to Bolivia to be processed, says César Navarro, the president of the Multipartite Commission of the Chamber of Deputies which is investigating the terror and separatism case.

In a secret operation co-ordinated by Interpol, involving the intelligence services of Brazil and Bolivia, the Brazilian federal police detained Mohammed on Wednesday in the airport in Brasilia. Mohammed was wanted for his ties to the late Eduardo Rózsa Flores, presumed leader of the terrorist cell dismantled on April 16 of this year.

According to Navarro, the information the Irishman could give is highly important to confirm the terrorist and separatist actions which the Rózsa group had planned to execute.

“This man could be an important link for this criminal group. The declarations he made before Brazilian authorities and his extradition to Bolivia could allow us to reach a new level of fundamental information,” Navarro told Erbol.

He said that the foreigner had not been included in the initial investigation, but now, once extradited to Bolivia, the Bolivian Public Ministry could take statements from him to establish his complicity with the Rózsa Flores group.

According to the legislator, the investigation will continue on many fronts, once it was established that the group commanded by Rózsa Flores was not one of just a few persons, but included an “army” of mercenaries.

“Rósza Flores was a mercenary who had many people at his service, with whom he planned the actions to take place in Bolivia,” Navarro said.

According to preliminary investigations, the detained Irishman is the one who was in charge of providing large-calibre armaments to the group, whose financing is also under investigation. He was detained in Brasilia as he was about to board a commercial flight bound for Lisbon, Portugal.

Mohammed is also accused of being tied to drug-trafficking and money-laundering.

Early in December, the Brazilian federal police were informed by Bolivian intelligence of the possible presence of the extremist in their country. He remains in detention in Brasilia until his extradition can proceed.

Translation mine.

Interesting. I wonder if he also had ties to Shell, I-RMS and the infamous Corrib gas project, like the other Irishman in the plot, the late Michael Dwyer. Wouldn’t surprise me if he did, but so far I’ve found very little on this dude. There are a lot of terrorism-accused Yasser Mohammeds in the world, and a lot of irrelevant gunk in the Google as a result.

I’ve a hunch we’re about to see some innnnteresting monsters coming out of the woodwork. If these guys were a veritable army, as Mr. Navarro says, there will probably be quite a slew of them coming in the weeks and months ahead. Who, and where they’re all from, remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, if any friendly souls reading me in Ireland, Bolivia or Brazil know this chap or know of him, or just have relevant news articles to share, your feedback would be much appreciated.

Short ‘n’ Stubby: Uppity Latin@s, everywhere you look

calico-manx.jpg

La Hojilla brings together Venezuela’s two best curmudgeons in time for Yule! Much pwnage of oppos, corruptos and El Matacuras (who is both) ensues. Video en español–go curmudge to your heart’s content.

And speaking of corrupto-pwnage in Venezuela, Chavecito is sticking it to bad bankers, even ones who profess support for him. So much for the media myth that the boli-bourgeoisie can get away with murder.

Havana is wise to the corruption Washington is trying to sow among would-be oppos in Cuba, too, reports Eva Golinger. Wonder if this is the same bunch that supplied the expensive set-up that enables Yoani Sánchez to moan to the world (in more than a dozen languages, translated by hand, not Babelfish!) about how oppressed she is in evil, evil Cuba.

Incidentally, evil-evil Cuba is currently playing host to the ALBA summit. Funny coinkydink dat!

Uh oh, Venezuela just exported its uppitiness to Nigeria! What happens when they nationalize THAT oil industry? Dare we hope to see no more of those scam-spam e-mails from there?

Rafael Correa of Ecuador also haz Teh Uppity. He told a bunch of foreign oil companies operating in country to ante up or fuck the hell off. Which do you think they’ll do in the end?

Uh oh, Evo wants a referendum in which all of South America gets to decide whether or not the gringos get their seven bases in Colombia. What do you think the final vote tally would be if that were held?

Headline Howler: Ha ha ha–I’m sorry, what did you say again?

globalization-map.jpg

I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my own laughter. I thought you said something like:

US seeks ‘positive’ dialogue with Venezuela

That couldn’t be right. As far as I know, no one is seeking dialogue, only trying to dictate to Venezuela “the way things are supposed to be done”. Dialogue, you see, implies listening-to, not just talking-at. And we all know just how good Washington is at the former as compared to the latter…

Perhaps someone at the Laredo Sun realized this, because that news article is no longer up, and the only thing you get if you clicky the linky is an error message. Which is also quite the howler when you think about it…

Wankers of the Week: Misogynists and Enablers edition

Yes, kiddies, this week is special. In memory of the Montréal Massacre 20 years ago, and its ongoing fallout today, I decided to devote an entire wank-list to those who hate women, and those who enable the woman-haters to injure and kill. It’s not enough to remember one mass murder just because it was so dramatic; it’s also important to remember the sneaks, skanks and skunks who enable all kinds of misogynistic violence, because the Massacre was anything but an isolated event–it was the product of a culture geared toward the degradation of women, and denial of that same. Here they come, in no particular order:

1. Helena Fucking Guergis, again. Not content to make a mockery of the Massacre with her cheap, mealy-mouthed spectacle in Parliament, Helena Handbasket has decided to take it one wank further with a letter to the editors of the Toronto Star, in which she further cheapens and demeans the memories of the dead by using them and other victims of violence for clearly partisan purposes. Gee, Helena, what happened? I thought you were supposed to be above “partisan gamesmanship”. Oh–I get it. You’re above OTHER parties’ supposed partisan gamesmanship. Yours? That’s different. You’re a Conservative, so that doesn’t count!

2. Norman Fucking Spector. No, murderous gynophobic rampages aren’t in the genes. They don’t have fuck-all to do with “race”. Nor are they the product of any single culture, unless you’re talking about patriarchy, which is a cultural element as common as dirt throughout the world.

3. William Fucking Gairdner. Ah yes, the founding father of Reform-a-SupposiTorydom has decided to croak up bilge at us from his bed in the nursing home for the decrepit criminally insane. Why isn’t he dead yet? Probably because he still has too much bile and blame to vomit all over us bad, bad feministas. Of course, you can guess who HE blames for the Montréal Massacre.

remember-me.jpg

4. Hiram Fucking Monserrate. What’s wrong with this unevolved DINO? Oh lord, what isn’t? He’s a homophobe, a proponent of “traditional marriage”. So it comes as an interesting surprise to hear that he beat the shit out of his common-law partner about a year ago–for merely having another man’s business card in her bag (which he was NOT entitled to snoop through, incidentally). What? He’s not traditionally married to the woman he battered? Well, not to worry: He plans to make it all up by marrying her. If I were in her shoes, I’d be running the other way screaming, not begging to be allowed back into his clutches. It’s not a question of whether he’ll abuse her again, but WHEN.

5. The Fucking Blogging Tories. I wonder: would they be so indifferent to the murders of 14 women if those women were the last 14 left on Earth? Oh, probably. Because everyone knows that happiness is a warm gun…snuggled up right next to your big blue balls, eh boys?

con-gun.jpg

6. Margaret Fucking Wente. Excuse me, what is this “death cult” of which you write, Ms. Wente? Do you seriously believe that just because you got yours, there is no misogyny for the rest of us to fight against? Fuck you, Margaret. And fuck your fucking smugness. Fuck your denials. Fuck your Fifties mentality. But most of all, fuck you.

7. The Fucking Perth County Council. No flags at half-mast, because women don’t count for shit in Perth County. Never mind that the excuse is stupid. Never mind that it doesn’t cost more than a minute’s time to lower them. Women aren’t even worth that teeny, tiny token gesture. Isn’t it lovely to know that, O ye women of Perth County?

8. Barbara Fucking Kay. Excuse me, what is this “moral pogrom against men” of which you write, Ms. Kay? And why is it “time to end” that nonexistent pogrom? Kind of strange to declare an end to a nonexistent thing, isn’t it? Why are you so fucking stupid as to think that being pro-woman automatically means being anti-man, Ms. Kay? Janet Bagnall gets it, so why not you? So does this unnamed editorialist for your own news service. So, why not you?

remember-collage.jpg

9. Sylvie Fucking Boucher. For not understanding that gun control IS law and order. For enabling killers. And for playing self-serving, partisan politics over the corpses of 14 women. Thanks a lot for the injustice, madame.

10. Kelly Fucking McParland. So, the opposition protest against the Tory wank is a “cheap stunt”. You wanna know what’s really a cheap stunt? Your shots at those who really understand the issues. Figures that you write for the National Fucking Post–that entire paper is one big fat cheap stunt. Can’t wait for it to die, and I hope you for one stay out of work.

11. Dennis Fucking Pakkala. Google his name, and you’ll find all the stupid, wankish comments you could possibly want. And then some. The fucker is all over the place, proving feminists right every time he tries to prove them wrong. I don’t know who he is, but I get the feeling he’s bitter and a misogynist. No wonder he feels such a compulsive need to masturbate in public.

12. Jean-Claude Fucking Rochefort. Uttering death threats via your sick-ass blog dedicated to a murderer, then trying to pass it off as a “joke”? That has got to be the ULTIMATE wankery.

And finally, anyone who thinks that feminism is dead, or that feminists should be. Your karmic destiny? Exactly what you think it should be for us uppity wimmin.

Good night, and get fucked!

Teh Heterostoopid: Traditional Marriage really works great!

traditional-marriage-fail.jpg

Oh dear. Looks like Governor Cheaty-Pants is getting his comeuppance:

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford may be keeping his office, but he is losing his marriage.

First lady Jenny Sanford capped a tumultuous week by filing for divorce Friday, two days after state lawmakers stopped short of recommending her husband’s removal for a top-secret June rendezvous with his Argentine mistress. He will not say whether he is still in contact Maria Belen Chapur, the woman he famously called his “soul mate.”

Jenny Sanford, a former Wall Street executive who helped launch her husband’s political career, said Friday their 20-year marriage could not be repaired.

[…]

Earlier this week, Jenny Sanford said in a television interview that it was a simple decision to not stand with the governor when he publicly confessed the affair.

“Certainly his actions hurt me, and they caused consequences for me, but they don’t in any way take away my own self-esteem,” the 47-year-old told ABC’s Barbara Walters, who named her one of the most fascinating people of 2009. “They reflect poorly on him.”

And the Appalachian Trail will never be the same again for hikers, either.
