Previniendo al actual segundo gobierno de Alan García de no caer en tentaciones de corrupción como las que venimos atestiguando recientemente, el 10 de abril del 2007 incluí en la XIII edición distribuida vía email el siguiente P1's Paragraph...
157. Al final de la exposición de Jorge del Castillo en el último almuerzo de AMCHAM alcancé una pregunta escrita que, dada la cortedad del tiempo, ya no pudo ser leída por el anfitrión Aldo Defilippi... Decía así... "Señor Primer Ministro, Usted seguramente concordará conmigo en que los políticos experimentados y novicios debemos estar conscientes de que gracias al maravilloso intrumento de las telecomunicaciones -que Dios ha puesto finalmente en nuestras manos- la corrupción se hace cada vez más difícil de cristalizar"...
Tal vez creyendo que se encontraban todavía en aquellos años 80 de limitadas posibilidades tecnológicas, los apristas han venido cayendo cual corderitos en la red de sus propias torpezas... Por el bien de nuestro país, los peruanos de buena voluntad que el 2006 apoyamos a Alan como a un proverbial "mal menor" esperamos una enmienda real e inmediata...

# 67, on Obama's disservice to Florida and Colombia...
67. When I observe Barack Obama desperate to secure a win in Florida, I can not avoid to remember the disservice he did to the Sunshine State's economic interest by adamantly opposing the US Trade Promotion Agreement with Colombia... For instance his opposition was detrimental not only to Florida but also to the whole USA since every informed citizen knows e.g. that 40% of the US economic growth in 2007 came from exports...
Politically... I believe that instigated by surrogates of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, senator Obama preferred to side with the argument rooted on the killings since 1985 of labour advocates and not to acknowledge the huge improvements reached by president Alvaro Uribe, the best ally of the US in the region...
The Colombia case highlights the sad notion that Barack prefers to spread the wealth around instead building authentic conditions to create more...

Senator...
Hugo Chavez was able to donate 100 million US dollars to secure the election of Evo Morales in Bolivia... How soon will you disclose all "individual" donations in order for the authorities to track the amount of money your campaign received from the Venezuelan dictator?...

Article: I Love to Wear the US Flag Pin
May 3, 2008
Op-Ed Contribution
I Love to Wear the US Flag Pin
By PABLO OMONTE
LIMA
During the Democratic primaries I've learnt of occassions when Senator Obama showed he doesn't like much to wear the stars & stripes flag pin on his lapel.
Quite often when I'm in the USA, on several binational meetings in Lima, or even at some gatherings at home I love to wear it, being of course the Peruvian nationality the only one I have.
How does it come?
It probably began when in the early 70ties, as a kid, I used to admire a US family who lived at the next corner of my home in bucolic Huánuco, a small city 400 km north-eastern of Lima. The father was a LDS missionary and his wife and their several children were all nice but most importantly they were very kind to eachother and to everyone else. You could truly feel they were somehow closer to God, I thought, in contrast to mine - also a good looking family - but which in spite visiting the Catholic mass every Sunday and having many nuns and high ranked clericals as close relatives had our parents and us children involved in frequent disagreements in- and outdoors.
Soon, as nationalist and anti-American dictator Velasco turned rougher, many US missionaries left the country and so did that cherished North American family. I missed them everyday I went to school and passed by the emptied house at the neighboring corner.
During the military regime English classes became insignificant by law and I had to make an extra effort to learn a bit more of the language of those people I fell in love with. However, this was almost impossible even at the most renowned high-school in town. My poor English level notwithstanding I tried fervently to win a one-year scholarship for a US college with support of Rotarian friends of my father. The process offered hope but should take much longer than expected.
Meanwile, in the midst of the returning democracy and the weak Belaunde presidency it was high time for me to start college in Peru although not at UNI, the best Engineering University in Lima because it was plagued by strikes and the scaring influence of Shining Path.
The place to go was the Catholic University, where I couldn't grow comfortably because it didn't transpire the freedom I desired for an academic institution. Luckily, before one year went over I saw a placard announcing scholarships for engineering studies in Germany. Overcoming the initial opposition of my family - because of my young age - I applied, and became selected.
In August 1982 started my European journey.
Being pretty talkative and a charmeur since childhood, in the first years I just enjoyed to have a huge success finding friendship among young people. However, the more I grasped the Teutonic language and understood the nuances during conversations I found that some older people but mostly those in a powerful position disliked at the bottom of their hearts a bright newcomer like me and coincidentally also despised the USA.
As I became aware of this, I started to review my interest in building a possible future in Germany. However to completely decide about it I thought I had to learn more about how their elite think, and went over - besides coping with my electronics engineering studies - to diligently read the editorials of their leading journals like Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Zeit, Spiegel, and Stern.
In 1988, one year before graduating as a Diplom Ingenieur, I arrived to the conclusion that the German elite as the bellwether of Europe couldn't shake off its anti-Americanism and that it would prefer to build upon their contempt for the so called Melting Pot instead enlighten their countrywomen and -men to reach to higher milestones based on a honestly cooperative relationship with the USA.
At the same time I began to spend money in buying those then expensive Time Magazine, Newsweek, International Herald Tribune, and sometimes National Review to learn more about the American ideals, mentality, and worldview with the permanent support of an Englisch-Deutsch Wörterbuch. My best hopes became indeed satisfied by reading lots of editorials and articles. Bill Safire, Art Buchwald, and Bill Buckley were among my favorites.
Meanwhile, as my way of thinking became well known among co-scholars, friends, and later colleagues and members of the Führungskader at Siemens in the early 90ties, I began to be treated as an enemy who deserved to get undermined.
Around 15 years have passed since I moved out and in the meantime I believe Germany has soften homemade sentiments of its arrogant 80ties towards America.
Concluding...
. My love for the USA which began at children's age, got only diamond-strong in Europe;
. Even if I relish to have found in wonderful Lima - for pundits a New York City of Latin America - the hub of my forthcoming activities, I keep dreaming of a united continent from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego as a key step to achieve a genuinely united World like Albert Einstein yearned for;
. I can not avoid to admonish the ignominious 'gda' expression disparaged by confused pastor Wright; and
. I want to heartedly extoll: God Bless America!!!

# 66, on why The New York Times is wrong...
66. My love for the USA turned immanent by reading the editorials of The International Herald Tribune when I was a student and young engineer in Europe... The most of those opinion articles of course were originally from The New York Times...
However, in the last decade I became incrementally skeptic about the opinions crafted by the newspaper which became several years ago an intellectual home for me...
Herewith some examples...
The New York Times demonizes George W. Bush but forgets that he re-conquered the most precious instrument for Freedom in the World: US national security... This crucial need was evident at last on 9/11 after al-Qaeda infiltrated the USA during the lax tenure of William J. Clinton...
The New York Times blames the current government for the huge financial crisis but forgets that it was originated by the socialism-prone "social engineering" started in the 90ties and staunchly defended during the last years by the Democratic majority of Capitol Hill...
The New York Times dismisses Sarah Palin but forgets that she has demonstrated not just to have a better character and better judgment in light of her past associations, yet also to have reached proper executive achievements in comparison to Barack H. Obama, Jr. ...

65. General Colin Powell has showed today that he is not as race blind as he may have been expected to be... What I dislike more is the fact that he let an unproven promise easily trump over genuine records... For instance, if either he or Condoleezza Rice were running for the Republican party instead of John McCain I wouldn't doubt an instant to qualify him or her as the better choice under current crucial circumstances...

# 64, on the Alfred E. Smith Charity Dinner...
64. I enjoyed like many of you seeing both candidates attend the Alfred E. Smith annual dinner in New York City... As tradition asks, on every elections year each candidate is expected to give there a high-spirited but humorous speech... Each of them grew up to the occasion, although I believe John McCain repeated a subtle victory right after yesterdays final debate, by turning the spotlight on the handicaps ailing Barack in a crescendo...

# 63, after the 3rd Presidential Debate...
63. John McCain showed by far his best debate performance although he didn't match the rhetoric of Barack Obama... For instance, as I've told to several friends based on Latin American bad experiences with nice-talking candidates: Eloquence is no substitute for record!...
Furthermore... By emphasizing the taxation concerns of now-famous plumber Joe Wurzelbacher in case of an Obama presidency, McCain brought up an additional key issue which shall secure him increasing support of Independent voters during the remaining days until November 4th...
Furthermore... By emphasizing the taxation concerns of now-famous plumber Joe Wurzelbacher in case of an Obama presidency, McCain brought up an additional key issue which shall secure him increasing support of Independent voters during the remaining days until November 4th...
# 62, on race and US politics hours before the final Presidential Debate...
62. Despite Barack Obama and his campaign are still trying to accommodate themselves as victims in spe of racial bias, the majority of US Citizens will judge him in terms of Martin Luther King junior's saying "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"...
At last up today evening John McCain shouldn't become anymore shy of exposing the weak character and consequent bad judgment of his opponent, both in light of his compromising associations (Wright, Ayers, ACORN, etc) and his record in detriment of the US economy (earmarks, dismissing of the GSE reform years ago, unpatriotic taxation, etc)...

It's social engineering, a socialism inspired approach which is at the heart of Obama's and his lefty gurus' weltanschauung... This "engineering" made possible the creation of a "grassroots" entity like ACORN, which extorted mortgage credits for penniless people all over the country during the last years...
Obama was not only ACORN's lawyer... He and his pal William Ayers gave them millions from the Annenberg Foundation, and together with his Democratic colleagues obtained for them 500 million taxpayer dollars per year... What did Obama and other Democrats receive as retribution?... At least useful voters, I guess...
McCain needs to speak out this truth as soon as it gets!...

# 60, on acorns falling not far from Barack...
60. Today I saw Barack Obama using at a rally in Indianapolis the metaphor "An acorn doesn't fall far from the tree"... He staggered notoriously when pronouncing the second word... My lecture is that he is unconsciously feeling that the other ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), an entity he is deeply involved with and which is now being investigated for alleged voter fraud in several states, may cripple his quest for the White House...
ACORN was involved since long in registering uninformed voters, extorting financial institutions to give home loans to unqualified people, and lobbying for lower banking standards in Washington DC...
After reading a jocular article by Gail Collins I did send the following comment to nytimes.com, which was received at 11:50am DST but has not been published...
"Only if I were a lobotomized follower of Barack Obama, I would not expect that The New York Times -as one of the worldwide reliable sources of journalism- investigates if e.g. ACORN helped him using fraudulent means not only to successfully run for office in Chicago, but likewise to become a senator, and to secure victories against Hillary Clinton during the primaries"...

# 59, casted right after the 2nd US Presidential Debate...
59. I was surprised about this debate not being like a typical town-hall meeting... It appeared to be a stiff one... Therefore it didn't provide the best atmosphere for John McCain to differentiate himself from Barack Obama... John should have been more direct in exposing Barack's and his party's records at the base of the current financial crisis... Besides, it would have been also critical to bring up the anti-American associations of the Democratic candidate...
In a few words... McCain was stronger on domestic policy, but he curiously let Obama appear not weak enough on foreign affairs...

# 58, on agents of change and the US economy...
58. Yesterday, viewing Mike Huckabee's charming new talk-show on FoxNews I came across a frank comparison which hasn't received most voters attention... In less than 1,000 days as senator, Barack Obama has requested almost 1 billion dollars in pork barrel spending... In more than 7,000 days as senator, John McCain has requested 0 (zero) dollars for same harmful purpose...
In retrospective... Who has showed the better record to become a true agent of change in favor of the US economy?...

# 57, on profiting unrighteously from the financial debacle...
57. One trillion dollars on mostly dubious home loans were financed between 2005 and 2007 by the semipublic mortgage corporations Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... Those shaky operations originated the recent financial meltdown, from which Barack Obama profited politically... Truth is that in 2005 and 2006 Republicans with the leadership of John McCain wanted to reform mentioned institutions but their initiative and bill were adamantly rejected by the Democratic majority reigning since 2004 over both Senate and House of Representatives... Under same light every independent voter will promptly understand why senator Obama (in only 3 years!) became the second highest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac money, just after the longest serving Democratic senator Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee...

# 56, right after the US Vice Presidential Debate...
56. I truly believe that Sarah Palin passed a pivotal test and revived the enthusiasm among Republicans and -most importantly- among Independents... She proved to be knowledgeable, smart, candid, and selfconfident... The nervousness with the editing-prone Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric (who b.t.w. had a long learning process at CBS) will soon be passé...
# 55, around an article of Roger Cohen before the Vice Presidential Debate...
55. It's refreshing to learn about the perspective française of Roger Cohen on several editions of The New York Times; but after analyzing a bunch of his articles one can conclude that... a) He's not serving the American cause, easily trashing Richard Nixon and George W. Bush... He may have forgotten that with John F. Kennedy the USA was on the verge to loose the Cold War to the Soviet Union totalitarians... The world needed the guts of Ronald Reagan to a victory... b) I still agree with John McCain's patriotic statement on the American economy... Of course he wanted to correct its ailments some years before as also the current President did, finding deaf ears among the Democrats leading Capitol Hill... c) Sarah Palin happens to be a wise politician, alas not yet proficient on the prime-time arena... She will improve and show naysayers that also she -like a humble young businessman named Harry Truman- could become a promising Vice President...
