Who knows? The question about the Colombians doesn't make sense to me. It is a total mistake to believe that a Mafia, any more than an intelliegnce service is an inflexible, monlith. The mafias and professional gamblers always have bets on both sides of the street. Meyer Lansky taught that. Opportunism governs. You still don't grasp this. Go rent the Godfather Parts I&II. The world does not exist in the two dimensional stereotypes you have been taught to think in. Israeli Mossad agents in South America worked with former SS men Auguste Ricord and Klaus Barbie. The CIA worked WITH KGB in many cases. The factions shift behind the skirts you call democrat and republican. Everybody does anything they have to tp keep any other faction from having an advantage. Everybody deals drugs in South America, Communist rebel and Fascist dictator. Why? Because coca has been a part of culture for thousands of years. Same with marijuana. The Chinese are buying Amercian stock like crazy over the Internet. They don't want to blow us up. They want to own us. Everybody plays against everybody. The only thing they all agree is keeping the masses ignorant about how the money really works. The reasons they do that is beacuse they know, even while they fight each other, that they don't stand a chance otherwise.
