Why Libya Is No Accident
In the weeks following the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three attachés in Libya, President Obama and his message-carriers have dissembled as to how and why it occurred. But Obama’s policy in a country much closer to home has a light to shine on the matter. For the past year or two, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other diplomats have been hand-holding an attorney general in Guatemala who has twisted the law for political purposes and acted against a constitutional order.
A fact rarely noted, but quite germane, is that the first U.S. ambassador ever to die at the hands of terrorists was our envoy to Guatemala. In 1968 Ambassador John Gordon Mein was shot dead on a Guatemala street. For three decades afterward the country was riven by insurgency; it continues to be plagued by lawlessness. Two years ago Claudia Paz y Paz, a doctor of law, was appointed attorney general at the behest of a United Nations commission that now exercises legal authority in Guatemala. Paz y Paz and the UN commission both have sweeping mandates to address issues left over from decades of conflict.
At the time of Ambassador Mein’s killing, Claudia Paz y Paz’s father was a member of the “Rebel Armed Forces” (FAR) that had carried out the crime. Due to the anonymous manner in which that group functioned, we cannot know whether Enrique Paz y Paz took part in the murder itself; but we do know he belonged to the FAR. Claudia Paz y Paz has spent much of her adult life litigating her country’s conflict — but less, it seems, on the side of strict legality than on the side of a political agenda that has an irresistible appeal to Leftists around the world. And the Obama administration has fallen closely in line behind her.
Secretary of State Clinton personally lobbied for Paz y Paz’s retention in office when Guatemala’s presidency changed hands in early 2012. The U.S. ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues, Melanne Verveer, nominated Paz y Paz for inclusion in a special report by Forbes magazine on “women who are changing the world.” Washington’s ambassador to Guatemala, Arnold Chacon, is outspoken in the attorney general’s support. He has even told visitors that whenever he visits the State Department he goes to the head of the line at Clinton’s door, so eager is the secretary for news about Paz y Paz.
All this adulation is in marked contrast to the attitudes of many Guatemalans toward their attorney general. A major legal problem in recent years has been a rash of land-invasions throughout the country. Paz y Paz routinely does not prosecute the invasions. In cases that are prosecuted, Paz y Paz has instructed her district attorneys that they must allow squatters reasonable time to get off the land — a proviso that contravenes the nation’s penal code.
It sounds like Paz y Paz studied at the Eric Holder School of Constitutional Ignorance. That would be a precise fit for someone Her Thighness would support.
It also sounds like Paz y Paz’ ideal for how a “democratic” state should be run sounds uncomfortably like Zimbabwe, or maybe Haiti. Complete with landowners being run off, and “activists” with guns to make sure everybody is singing from her hymnal- if they want to keep breathing, that is.
G-d help the people of Guatemala if she attains higher office and/or more power. And that includes the factions she supports.

Firstly, Hill and her like-minded revolutionaries are not magical thinkers. To assert thusly, is to give them cover they do not deserve. In other words, it makes their actions objectionable, but only because they are guilty of trying to do good, but misjudging the calculus.
NOT exactly. Hill and surrogates know EXACTLY what they are doing, and placing revolutionaries in positions of power IS their goal. Thus, their results are PURPOSEFULLY designed.
Now that is off the table, the rest is easy to intuit.http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/10/05/if-it-looks-like-a-socialistmarxistcommunist-plan-it-is-peekingpeeling-back-into-obamas-looking-glass-his-surrogates-too-their-bomblets-waiting-to-explode-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
So, placing lipstick on a pig will not solve the problem. It only exacerbates it.

Guatemala’s no. 1 problem is over population. Next are gangs that never existed a relatively few years ago. When democracy arrived, crime sky rocketed because of lax prison sentences rather than a bullet to the head. Even in the mid-80s you saw seemingly every other business in Zone 4 in Guatemala City with an guard standing in front with a shot gun.
What else can we expect from our Community Organizer and Chief? Also,America pivots on election day,If hugobama wins it won;t be 4 more years,but 20!
During 50 years of brutal military dictatorships a great deal of land was siezed by the Army for the ruling kleptocracy. Until ownership is restored legally the left will exploit people with legitimate grievances.
Good reporting. A question comes up: does Paz y Paz have lesbian leanings?
The surrogates for Fabian Socialists’ New World Order like to mix pleasure with their political machinations, and the top echelons of the American government are no exception.
Libya is going to turn out to be another Somalia, only this one will be on the Mediterranean just a few miles from Europe. It will be far worse than Somalia because terrorists from Libya will be a lot closer to Europe than Somalia is. There will be no peace, let alone a strong central government, in Libya because of all the tribal militias that are there and because of the oil. In Somalia, there isn’t much to fight over except control of the country. In Libya, there will be a fight for control of the country PLUS a fight to see who keeps all the oil revenues. THAT is the difference. Whoever controls the oil controls the wealth AND the weapons AND the power. There may be years of fighting or another dictator or general or mullah may step in and take over the country once again just to restore “order.” Then you will have come full circle in Libya, from Gaddafi to yet another dictator. If you think democracy has a chance in Libya, you’re dreaming, and the Obama administration now is being forced to admit that.
You really haven’t made your case as far as conspiracy cases go. Just because Ambassador Chris Stevens was appointed by Sect. of State Clinton? Was Stevens working for or against the Islamists?
Let’s take a look a look at recent positions of Democratic Party leaders on events within the US.
Nancy Pelosi backs the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) crowd in its crusade for redistribution against the “1%.” And many prominent Dems seemed to support the unlawful OWS occupation of public parklands and private property. Sounds kind of like similar people’s redistribution activities for private farmland in Zimbabwe and several South and Central American countries.
The Obama administration decides to not enforce immigration laws, and use “prosecutorial discretion” in dream-act-type amnesties, which were specifically rejected by Congress. The ATF tells federally licensed gun dealers to ignore federal law and supply guns to Mexican drug cartels. These actions by federal agencies violate numerous laws limiting arms sales to known criminals and the exporting of arms to foreign countries — all at the cost in lives of hundreds of Mexicans and at least two US law enforcement agents. Even worse, they tell defense contractors to ignore US law requiring 60-day notice of possible lay-offs to employees, and say US tax dollars will be granted for the companies’ defense in any lawsuits. Who says we are a nation of laws if they can be unilaterally abrogated by Obama and his minions?
Obama, Hillary, and company aren’t just undermining Latin American and other third-world countries. They are working to turn the United States into a banana republic before our very eyes. Wake up before November 6, or suffer consequences that are almost too terrible to imagine. We’ve reached a turning point, whether the “bread and circuses” crowd wants to recognize it, or not.
IT IS SUNDAY IN AMERICA, AND IN ALL OF “OBAMA’S 57 STATES” PATRIOTS WORSHIP “THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS”

Help spread this, it is a problem for Obama and his pals.
As Obama’s cover story comes down, the curtain goes up on the USAO’s cover-up of J.J., Jr.’s role in the Blago story
http://illinoispaytoplay.com/2012/10/05/as-obamas-cover-story-comes-down-the-curtain-goes-up-on-the-usaos-cover-up-of-j-j-jr-s-role-in-the-blago-story/
Jerome Corsi is an opportunist peddling books to the nuttiest of the nutty. He makes consevatives look bad.
Your comments are off topiic.
Did it really take 3 people to write this article? Or was it that none of the 3 wanted to claim ownership? Indeed, Libya is exactly the same as…Guatemala. We should invade Guatemala (since when do we give a rat’s a** about Guatemala?) post haste. And Libya.
You want magical thinking? Look to our policies in Central America throughout the 70s and 80s. And they hate us for our freedoms? No, they they hate us for messing them around.
The KGB saw Central America a good market for their communist ideas. The KGB funded and armed Marxist movements in Nicaraugua (FSLN), El Salvador (FMLN), and Guatemala. They also established front groups in the United States (CISPES) and Europe supporting these groups as legitimate democcratic revolutions. Their goal was to spread communism, the surging ideology of the era, through all of latin america. From Tierra de Fuego to Tijuana.
Reagan wisely assisted funded contra guerilla groups and assisted governemnts in rooting them out. We were in a world wide fight with the communists whether we liked it or not.
Not unlike the United States, Central American Leftists have made the long march throught their institutions. The old guerilla groups are now political parties. University professors and the judiciary skew leftist. Catholic Priests with their toxic liberation theology taught marxist theory to the indians.
The Soviet Union is gone, replaced by “Oil-i-garch” crony capitalists, but their bitter fruit hangs on in Central America. Too late for the Soviets, but not too late to be a pain in the buttox for us.
The authors comments about Hillary Clinton’s admiration for Paz y Paz ring true. American leftist romantisize the latin american marxist bigtime. Just consider the enduring popularity of Che Guevara or the Abba song, Fernando.
When suburban lefties like Hillary hang out with latin revolutionaries like Paz y Paz, they feel like they are running with the bad boys and girls. Great bona fides in leftist circles.
Obama no doubt cheers land reform in Latin America. Well, redistribution there will work no better than passing out cheese in American Housing Projects in the 1970′s. Government allocation of land or any kind of capital will not work and only hurt those it intends to benefit — impoverished Indians.
I have already herd from these jerkoffs that they fear a Romney victory because he will not let them get away with the imposition of communism throught the courts in Central America.
The backdrop to this is that all that cocaine from Colombia now moves overland through Central America. Established criminal organizations are establishing links with the boys from Sinaloa and the Zeta Cartels. Murder is through the roof.
Somebody ought to make a movie about all this.
It is good to read some knowledgeable commentary on tbe suject. I have family who live in the interior of Belize (not the beaches that we all celebrate). The country is overrun by refugees from Guatemala, El Salvador and Hondurus. At first glance they are very attractive: they rise early and are very hard workers, don’t demand much, and have strong family structure. But they are suffused with an ethic of lawlessness. I met one Honduran from a remote village far from even a road. He knew forty people who had been murdered. Their MO is roadlock, kidnapping and banditry, and they seem to be always trying to find a way to pull it off. Fortunately they are unsophisticated and Belize is a very small country where everyody knows everybody else, so they can’t hide the way they could in the great lawless regions of their native countries. So Belize is still relatively safe for the traveler, even in the interior. But living there in the back country requires vigilance and resourcefulness, and close attention to who it is you are dealing with. I have now developed my own theory of why poor countries remain poor: it is because anyone who attians wealth of any kind becomes a target for robbery and kidnapping. Therefore wealth cannot be created, only imported.
Also, the British military is stationed on the border, protecting Belize from periodic Guatemalan military incursions.
Considering the Obama Administrations willing embrace of the “Rule Of Whim” it is not surprising they are enabling similar acts of lawlessness in other countries in order to advance their political agenda of “fundamental transformation” of the United States into a destitute third world s**thole like Belize or Argentina 6 months into it’s hyperinflationary collapse in 2001.
After all since “everyone belongs to the government” and “you did not build that” the citizens of the United States are in fact SERF’s or SLAVES and can be exploited as such for political gain.
4 more years and we WILL be toast, vote accordingly…
A truly scary story. A UN commission and a commie attorney general, and we’re supporting them against a lawfully elected, sovereign national government? We really need some changes in Washington.
