1) The “Curuguaty Massacre” was the excuse to impeach and depose president Lugo for “Incompetence”.......

2) After the “Technical Coup” against President Lugo, all investigation about the “Curuguaty Massacre” has ceased.....

3) The witnesses are telling everybody that wants to hear that the “Curuguaty Massacre” was organized by the landowners to provoke and justify the “Technical Coup” against President Lugo.......

4) The witnesses are dying. (Mr. Vidal Vega is not the first )

Nothing to chuckle about............

Could this be anything like the politicised 'Landless Peasant Movement' of Brasil?

People invade,
people die,
land is given,
the given land is sold on or reverts to scrub,
the people revert to 'landlessness',
.. they invade,
.. people die,
... land is given,
...,
...
Wikileaks has a superb summary report.

Love that word.....technical coup for following ones own consitution. South America is a joke on it's best day. For hundreds of years you've been ruled by the military and have no idea about democracy. Oh you love the sound bits with “democratic this” and “judicial colonialism' and ”judical economics'. You ll need to band togather because you are such mal contents you can't function in the real world, so you make a parallell world.
