Another factor that helps to increase poverty has been the displacement forced by the military, people living in areas of armed conflict. From 1985 to first quarter of 2006 the figure rose to 3.84 million people were forced to migrate to cities without any means of subsistence.

Currently, the income of 10% of the richest people in Colombia is 49 times greater than 10% of the poorest.

However, Finance Minister Oscar Ivan Zaluaga recently noted that the sustainability of Colombia's economic growth is not threatened because it is solid and based on international investment, while the president of the Stock Exchange, announced that Juan Pablo Córdoba in 2008 the state will release the rest of his privatization plan, while private sector companies are selling for a grand total of 43.1 billion pesos (21 U.S. $ 415 million).

The state will sell the electric companies of Cundinamarca, Boyacá (EBSA), Santander, Norte de Santander and Meta.

Great international hotel chains will fall firmly on the tourism sector where they plan to take over the major industry of smoke in almost all cities. These appear Sonesta, Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, NH and Fronpeca with an investment of close to four billion pesos.

As part of the agricultural settlement, the Instituto de Fomento Industrial (IFI) announced that the minority will it controls in the International Trading Promotion Banana and 9.3% in the highway concession Devinorte, Count sector consolidates the interests of transnational Cargill, Masisa (for wood) and Mapfre Seguros.

How To Create A Sympathy Guest Book

Social Movements VI ALBA Summit

more than three years ago in Havana, Cuba, resulted in the creation of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our Americas (ALBA), through the initiative of the presidents of Venezuela and Cuba, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, respectively. Over the years, entered the agreement, the Republics of Bolivia and Nicaragua, most recently at the Sixth Summit of Dominica joined Alba.

ALBA seeks to curb the interests of transnational capital that only seek to crush the poor and vulnerable countries of the continent, facing the intentions of the empire to take over the privileges of the southern lands and take advantage of its inhabitants. For this, the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America was born to stay. Their representatives will fight against poverty and social exclusion, one of the most serious problems facing the peoples of Latin America.

Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America gives priority to Latin American unity and negotiating sub-regional blocs, initiating consultation meetings to deepen the knowledge of the positions and identify areas of common interest, which will enable strategic associations. Similarly, claims that most fragile nations have sufficient tools to fend off the first power.

ALBA summits had been characterized as only meeting between the presidents of member countries, but in the V ALBA Summit held in Dyer, Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez, raised the proposal to include social movements in these meetings.

"ALBA without the soul of the ALBA nations would not be without the participation of social movements, not is the mechanism we need, we are not Presidents who are going to unite people, it is the people themselves who will have to unite and have to come together from the consciousness, "he said at that time with their peers.

But in the recently concluded VI ALBA Summit, held in Caracas, where different sectors of social movements that make life in each of the member countries gathered to discuss and propose solutions to the construction of a model of fair and equal life for all inhabitants of Latin America.

We must be very clear, in capitalism would never have held a meeting of this type, large monopolies do not give voice to those most in need because the need to continue operating and not let them emerge.

In the words of President Hugo Chávez, it is necessary that social movements participating in the summit of ALBA, as it is they who give solutions to problems. Also without the unification of peoples could not achieve the objective of ALBA, which is to remove the hand of the rule inquiring about the most vulnerable.

The Council of Social Movements is an important element of direct social unity and cooperation in the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America. This is a space-imperialist, neoliberal and committed to working towards obtaining higher levels of achievement, social justice and the real sovereignty of our peoples.

This initiative requires the Social Movements of the ALBA member countries need to articulate and non-members, identified with this effort, the responsibility to contribute to the development and expansion of ALBA process. The sixth summit included the participation of different sectors including women, youth, indigenous, students, workers, unions, health movements, among others.

By attending this summit we could talk with some of the participants of the Social Movements of Alba, who first voiceless at a summit of this nature.

Carlos Somera, who belongs to the Ministry of Popular Power for Indigenous Peoples of Venezuela, said that "social movements are fighting for the vindication of their rights and duties, has been a great advance the integration of indigenous peoples in the active participation and in building socialism and thus bring all the necessary contributions to our sister countries to improve the quality of life. "

indicated that in the case of Bolivia, there is a people who are looking to share as well as Venezuela, the experience to achieve the construction of a model country where everyone has access to equity, equality and all rights.

also Rene Vidanne, belonging to the peasant sector of Bolivia, said that "social movements in Bolivia are always available to continue the new constitution of government policy, not stay there, but rather know that we want to turn right, but we will not be anywhere, on the contrary, we are working like ants to form the basis and thus further our Constituent Assembly. "

Meanwhile, Florentino Barrientos, Secretary General of the Confederation of Peasants Bolivia, reported that its presence in Caracas, responds to your interest in the ALBA, "we must strengthen it, we must push. We hope that these projects will help our people and that can save us somehow and get to benefit our partners and our communities. "

remember that the Bolivian peasant movements are up in arms for over 100 years, since the empire wants to dominate Bolivia. For this reason, the Confederation of Peasants in the process of campaigning with the new constitution submitted by the President Evo Morales, who as indigenous and peasants also suffered the ravages of poverty.

Another participant in the Council of Social Movements in the VI ALBA Summit was Joel Suarez, coordinator General Martin Luther King Memorial Center in Havana, who called the Alba as a process of integration in the Bolivarian spirit and under the principles of complementarity, cooperation and solidarity.

Suarez said that the Council of Social Movements of ALBA is an innovation, as well as involving not only social movements of the ALBA member countries but also the social movements of other countries.
explained that the objective is to define what is the council's mission, strategies and action structure so that anytime soon undergo a major hemispheric meeting of all American nations that support the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America.

"Social movements within the Cuban people have had first high solidarity. Second, social movements have a prominent Cuban involvement in networks and campaigns against free trade, militarization and anti-debt, "said Suarez.

also Luzbelia Marin, the Women's Movement spokeswoman Manuelita Saenz and Council of Social Movements of ALBA, said: "In principle we have made a policy statement where we have defined our anti-imperialist, anti-neoliberal and included in this framework, the need for our women to be incorporated in all it has to do with the benefits of ALBA. "

For this social leader, Women, in recent times has played an important role in politics and in society, ceased to be only a housewife and mother, and took to the streets to fight for their rights and duties, the proof is the participation of women in the Council of Social Movements of ALBA.

"One of the things that we have established as a principle is that all our policies and all our documentation, that has to do with projects submitted must have a gender perspective by a view that poverty has a female face, there are 800 million poor people in America and 70% are women. The plan to attack poverty, we have to have a gender because women are poorer, "said Marin.

were present at this meeting represented the most oppressed and disadvantaged sectors of society in the member countries of ALBA, seeking to ensure a clamor, a cry, a listing of those areas where you have to do with the planning activities and actions of the board of social movements, which together Governments contribute to the progress of each country.

Brown Tinged Discharge

Economy and Finance USA. 2008: the year in which the system is part of Venezuela

2008 will be unforgettable. It will be the year that THINGS to snap. It will be a fateful year inevitably deadly for U.S. economy and especially for the banking sector. Nothing fixed it.

offer some solutions in the last paragraph of this note. I find all valid propositions in the real world. But we do not live in the real world, but rather in a world of fairy tale. A fairy tale world where the U.S. hegemonic obsession Wall Street and smother the whole system is a policy social.Inflacionar not return until complete collapse occurs.

Treason is rampant, plump abounds everywhere, but they call it "Game Over". All solutions tried so far trying to shore up the existing system, not change it, to enable Wall Street sold to morons contaminated many titles can be damaged assets, and to prevent any possible international trials against Wall Street firms.

In 2008, an alarming sequence is assured of enormous damage that will put a serious situation to the whole economic system and financial U.S. The powers survived the end of 2007, with an intense use of strips, rubber bands and paper clips, but reality continues to provide an endless sequence of insoluble problems, tragic, intractable. The pressure points are big banks suffering from insolvency, second-mortgage packages for massive losses, consumers without funds would have to rob to keep spending, a worsening housing market for stocks that are saturated, and problems to delve into the lending industry frozen by the insolvency and distrust. And with this we must add a global resentment fraud and strong-arm tactics of the U.S., especially during the last two decades.

What a prospect! Almost all of Wall Street firms are bankrupt, but are lucky to still control the major financial newspapers. Citigroup is completely with water to the neck, and inevitably will have to restructure, but do not want to admit the bankruptcy or file a formal request for bankruptcy.

heck, even Goldman Sachs might be bankrupt, if someday we could see a balance honest. The aim of the swaggering arrogance of Wall Street, who are clearly guilty of the biggest robbery ever seen since Rubin opened the door to rent [lease] of gold in the U.S. Treasury, is to pluck as much as possible their companies elite, in their personal benefit, before its insolvency, widely suspected, is recognized as an obvious bankruptcy. Suffocated in their own feces toxic mortgage securities and derivatives resulted leverage against him. The hidden factor is new Basel rules on accounting, from my point of view seems as if a bankruptcy judge ordered a Discovery Phase of bank assets during a bankruptcy proceeding. As expected, Wall Street firms continue to operate in disregard of the rules, to create a new balance sheet item lunatic third category (Tier-3). The greatest feat to date is that Wall Street urged Congress to adopt a freeze on subprime mortgage, dubbed 'The Teaser Freezer' [the freezer teaser] in clever tones. An inner voice tells me that Basel might push for prosecution of the criminals of Wall Street bankers. While

keep my predictions for 2008 for Hat Trick Letter, I can be taking part this advance. First, the Royal Comedy us delight that has become U.S. presidential politics Many images, promises empty slogans attractive to the campaign coffers full, all accompanied by a procession of useless charlatans all promising real hope. Despite all the promises they have done nothing not a single thing other than the country from its disastrous path, about the war, economy, taxes, budget, etc.. Do not expect anything at all, in terms of a change, none of the presidential candidates posibilidades.Todos very small, very dwarf, not height. If one revolutionary candidate in particular was raised by voters, will probably end his life early, "accidentally" of course. The hidden secret that seems to come the surface is that the neoconservatives are neither Republicans nor Democrats.

The current Bush is a known Neocon, a bizarre label, incidentally. From my point of view, Clinton was also a neoconservative, a different thing than most traditional Democrats. His central policy was to create the foundations for a Fascist Business Model, which ended the financial sector merged with the state. Two candidates, one from each party, one after the neoconservative regime otrorepresentan uninterrupted and inexorable march toward a militarized state, but my pen is not political. Somehow, the name does not sound so appealing neo-fascist American voters as the mysterious Neocon. Call a spade a spade and spade! Many executive orders justify the meaning of the label. A pathetic fact is that in my travels and conversations with countless American adults, I conducted an experiment extremely disturbing. After 40 questions asking "What is Fascism?" To my countrymen, not a single correct answer given. After all, a nation has the government it deserves. U.S. is in a sad but unstoppable march to Third World status, complete with a totalitarian regime. Nothing can stop this way. One hundred years ago, called the government HLMencken U.S. From the best government that money can buy, and deemed the American landscape was so attractive like any circus. Nothing has changed, only the depth and severity.

+ / - THE SYSTEM FAILS, BREAKS, FREEZES ...

2008 began with a resumption of the murmur of collapse disorder, a resumption of the rise in gold, and new chapters in the throes of bankruptcies of large banks, and possibly an almost total loss of respect in U.S. Federal Reserve But the word "bankrupt" modestly will not be used until a big bank actually files an application of bankruptcy. The collateral damage included the collapse of most bond insurers, which are maintained in an absolutely corrupt, scoring triple'AAA. " The collateral damage included the collapse of most homebuilders. However, the center of the misfortunes of 2008 will be the BANKRUPTCY OF FIRST MORTGAGE (OR LOW RISK), which will feel like the stage collapsed through the floor of the Victoria Theatre

Falling values housing will continue for another 5% and 10% in the new year, destroying portfolios of low-risk mortgages and their bonds. The whole debacle will carry U.S. banking system, and is now reeling drunk, like a stunned boxer after suffering ten laps of pure beating, bloodied, wobbly, dizzy, blurred vision. The mortgage debacle will extend to the territory of the commercial properties, to an extent that can not be estimated.

People were deceived for almost a year on the mortgage debacle that was intended to circumscribe such a phenomenon restricted to subprime mortgages (second-, or high risk). The tip of the iceberg is what is visible, that is the problem of a total mortgage debacle. In 2008, an avalanche will occur in the species defaulted mortgages rates variable interest, of which California is the epicenter and the most famous ruin. U.S. lending institutions used to pride themselves on their "innovation" in mortgage products, like fully borrowed down payments, like paying less interest than accumulates, like the borrower having no income and no job. Nonsense. Make universal ridicule. In the seventies, suffered stagflation. It was an unpleasant. In 2008, we will suffer much more serious attack of stagflation, with continued recession USeconómica (in its third consecutive year for those based on the true reality), inflation increases prices (which is now above 10%) that is sure to attack even the doctored Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). In fact, 2008 may see some progress with the adoption by the CPI component of housing prices and the postponement of the owner's equivalent rent, a conspicuous progress.

The resulting reflection of the central damage will affect the USeconomía, both by an exhausted consumer and a lending climate reluctant to provide credits needed urgently. It is clear that the dependence of the entire economy of movement of the consumer is risky. Family groups will not pay for car purchase loans and cards Credit as an echo to mortgages, resulting particularly in a severe loss of independence and freedom. You can live free in a house, but not driving a car or using credit cards for a long time without pay. To complicate the problem of credit supply, Wall Street burned our allies thoroughly deceiving. We must expect a reaction in 2008, including international ugly lawsuits and unexpected rupture of crystals on Wall Street like a Kristallnacht [the night of broken glass in Nazi Germany, N.del T.] delayed for seven years . The entire banking system go bankrupt this year in the U.S., in a highly visible, while the world watches horrified. The nation with the duty of care of the world's reserve currency, the dollar, the U.S., will suffer a failed banking and bond markets, which undoubtedly will result in a grotesque USeconómica recession. Just come a little late. The parade of disasters will be overwhelming, and offer little respite. Even the Plunge Protection Team (PPT), armed with 150 billion dollars of money into black bags, stolen much of Fannie Mae, you can not stop the tsunami of sell orders on the stock market. Could focus on the biggest and worst corporations, but the collapse of the bank stock index reveals how the PPT only able to sustain the S & P500 index, but not their buddies in big banks. SADLY, 2008 IS THE YEAR THE SYSTEM JUST TO BE PART.

What will happen? ...

People will run for cover. People react to a rising fury. Be fraught with anger and frustration, even cause riots isolated by rising food prices, by rising gasoline prices by an irregular supply, lost jobs from rising costs and outsourcing houses losses predatory lending followed by foreclosures. The suffering people will realize that their finances are not safe in banks, bank runs when they see fear in some cases and some stock accounts are frozen and are unavailable in the midst of bankruptcy of financial services conglomerates. The Glass Steagall Act, tested over time, made impossible the merger of banks, brokerages and insurance firms. It was a good law. Now, to go bankrupt banks, insurance agencies and stock will be in peligro.2008 IS THE YEAR IN WHICH THE SYSTEM JUST froze.

+ / - THE RULE OF CONFUSION ...

The year 2008 will bring a level of confusion never seen before in the history of the nation. We will see economists befuddled, puzzling, lightheadedness, and without solutions. Politicians will be confused, looking for something to advocate, unsure of what is potentially effective. The entire argument of 'inflation against deflation' will become an insane debate, in which all sorts of ignorant nonsense ejected without knowing what is inflation, as is caused, and in which the devices no longer work when they move the levers. When inflation is misunderstood the concept becomes the accumulation of a huge cloud in order to confuse the masses. When the banking system is paralyzed, as is happening, the mechanisms that throw money into the system stop working. When banks distrust each other more than individuals in terms of their alleged collateral, the system stops working to distribute money, even at lower interest rates. Issuing loans for individuals will drop to a low priority.

In 2006 came a huge event, which was the fatal jump in the apartment to an asset deflation. In 2007 there was another huge event, and was the somersault of mortgage packages to an asset deflation. With the continued disintegration of the entire price risk model, the powerful teeth of assets impairment, held by banks, the banks themselves become agents of all powerless to inflation (even if they wanted). Ironically, in reality, they are sold as credit derivatives, the U.S. dollar could benefit. Many writers speak of the president of the U.S. Reserve, Bernanke, may soon be presented with the task of throwing money from helicopters. Wow! Could it be that they are swallowing some stupid pills?! Events in the last four months have taught everyone who has a lucid brain, eyes concerned and an active pulse (which eliminates the majority of investors) that the U.S. Federal Reserve has become something just a little more than IRRELEVANT. The country's banking system is so broken that the LIBOR [the interbank interest rate is applied to the London capital market] has come to extreme stress.

The hapless, clueless and reactionary U.S. Federal Reserve fails to recognize that it is an insolvency problem that afflicts the banking system, and can not deal with lower interest rates. Why will not reduce interest rates, since Goldman Sachs, acting as leader of the pack of sled dogs trained on Wall Street, is what has been ordered to do. But if lower rates do not solve the bank problem, why give us lower rates? Just because it says the stock market into a dangerous collapse. The system can not allow stock assets become devalued asset.

the confusion in 2008 will focus on the challenge to actively produce price inflation, while support in bankrupt banks. Confusion will reign from requests to Bernanke to 'do their business of the helicopters' while the winds of deflation will be so intense that cash releases will spread into the vortex of deflation. The desperate calls for Bernanke forget the lessons of the past four months. His primary perceived plan is to rescue Wall Street banks, probably with far more redemptions, monetization, and refunds delivered in basements and hidden pieces that will never be known to the public. It is the nature of the Fascist Business Model: worry about the big corporations whose interests are merged with the U.S. government, bribery for members. The irony of massive infusions of money, either by injection of U.S. Federal Reserve or infusions of foreign capital is highly concentrated in the rescue of distressed banks by insolvency. Add money to an insolvent box, cuéntese as equity, and nothing is accomplished in terms of insolvency. The new partners only have a major part in the bankruptcy, best described as a vampire, a living dead. The system is not activated, no jobs are created, no new loans are granted.

The confusion in 2008 lead to an increase of the measures, freezes, adoptions, government initiatives, and a great plan .. Each plan will be recognized as insufficient and limited, thus motivating a new measure to the desperate. The "Great Trust Corporation in the resolution" will receive extensive powers and governed for a decade, with a possible creation of a cabinet appointment. Other unpleasant irony is festering. Neither the government nor Congress is prepared to act to initiate ANY broad rescue yet, as the pigs in the first row would be thieves, thugs and crooks on Wall Street, whose fingerprints are all over the mortgage bond debacle laced with criminal fraud. So the entire banking system will continue sliding into the quicksand. Once politicians are involved, the problem gets worse, exception.

+ / - Gold will rise ...

Gold will rise from gradual recognition that the banking system has been destroyed. Gold will rise from the perceived need to generate price inflation, whether they are successful these efforts, a concept of expectation. Gold will rise from the wars to be competitive currency, printing more money urgently nations to seek to postpone the recession and grotesque asset deflation. The slowdown will also affect China, where they have begun to raise prices, perhaps charged of overcapacity. Gold will rise primarily because the global circulation of money is increasing at an astronomical rate, think Weimar, think globally. Gold will rise because the living will realize that the disunited States might want another war as a distraction from the people, in the midst of serious crisis. Gold will rise in response to the failures of most policy initiatives, which will be perceived as symptoms of a systemic breakdown. Gold will rise to continue the global revolt against the U.S. dollar, is today the focal point in the Persian Gulf nations, who must fend off the ravages of inflation. The entire argument of price inflation is somehow the straw man fallacy, in a broad sense. The decline of U.S. dollar has led to increased costs, not wages, and the result is projected economic shocks on the American landscape. This stimulates the monetary inflation. If there were China (n. of. T. whose productivity gains is the subject matter "deflation", ie the opposite of inflation), it could quickly generate a price inflation. However, the system can not produce inflation without destroying the whole system of U.S. Treasury Bonds, and that higher inflation will push up interest rates long term, which would crush the Bonds as a savings option and put upside down the pyramid of credit derivatives. Further evidence that the U.S. Federal Reserve is the most irrelevant player in the game. Gold will rise when the balloon finally realizes that the Federal Reserve, traditionally the most powerful among the central banks, is impotent, toothless and irrelevant.

The chaos in the financial sector will be completed by the growing chaos in the beehive of the USeconomía, business complexes, neighborhood communities. We must expect an increase in illegal conduct, as chaos envelops the system. You have to expect a growth of disobedience civil, when people see that no one faces the serious problem of the serious crimes of Wall Street bankers and leaders of the U.S. government In 2008, the subtitles will discuss 1) BANKRUPTCY 2) CHAOS, 3) futility of INSTRUMENTS, 4) ABSENCE OF OPTIONS, 5) CONFUSION. Gold will rise in price when the subtitles appear in the press and media, planted with these messages. The system will break in 2008. The denials are laughable.

+ / - GOODBYE TO MANY ...

The year 2007 will say goodbye a whole long list of celebrities. The music world lost Dan Fogelberg, Porter Wagoner, Ike Turner (beat me), and Tommy Newsome, plus opera stars Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills. Hollywood and the entertainment world lost Joey Bishop, Joel Siegel, Charles Nelson Reilly, Jack Valenti, Tom Poston, Ingmar Bergman, Merv Griffin, Robert Goulet, Yvonne DeCarlo, Tom Snyder, Jane Wyman, and Marcel Marceau. The political arena lost LadyBird Johnson, Art Buchwald, Tom Eagleton, Henry Hyde. The literary world lost Sydney Sheldon, Norman Mailer, Kurt Vonnegut, and historian Arthur Schlesinger. The sports world lost Phil Rizzuto (the scooter) and recently Sean Taylor (Washington Redskins). Also disappeared restaurateur Bob Evans, televangelist Jerry Falwell, and astronaut Wally Schirra. The bizarre corner lost Tammy Faye (Baker) Messner, Leona Helmsley, Anna Nicole Smith, and Evil Knievel. Closer to me, my family lost my mother Maureen, who coined the name Jackass [dunce] to me, on my way outgoing persistent, stubborn and mischievous. He called me with affection "My adorable rascal." The cast deeply missed, we feel its effect.

+ / - FOLLOW SOLUTIONS THESE ...

Greed is powerful, especially when it has been subjected to those who have been in charge of the world's reserve currency for decades. The suspension of the Bretton Woods institutions, for which the U.S. dollar was backed in gold, unleashed Pandora's Box of financial woes. The misuse of the issue (Monetary inflation) as a remedy for excessive debts is perhaps the most pernicious destructive phenomenon of the last century. Evil in disguise, monetary inflation kills entire industries, fleeces savers completely, transforms asset managers into casino players, and causes a sharp cost inflation, all of which impoverishes a nation. Tragically, all nations who hitched their monetary carriage of the "disunited states" risk tremendous damage because they are, or will be, importing U.S. inflation. See what happens in Saudi Arabia, across the Gulf countries, including Hong Kong. The competing currency wars make them all victims. The latest deaths occur in nations whose currencies rise, since they enjoy a rush of investment and enjoy reduced costs, but their export trade is strongly affected.

The family dinner tables in the birth, in fact, Hat Trick Letter my father, me asked repeatedly, what solutions might exist. Professor of literature, not versed in financial matters, tired of my incessant talk about the incorrigible nature of the current system. My pragmatism is liable for constructive mood. My constant reply was that the system would resist any changes because they cause severe pain to the system and its leaders, the Ruling Elite. My answer, which seemed insolent article was that a solution would be a futile exercise. My proposal then was ten solutions, until he realized were totally impractical in those days. Now, four years later, my list should look like comic and totally outside the realm of the possible. But from a sense of humor and honesty, here goes: HOW TO FIX
