Disvarguing Llosa, the nobel prize

Politics and economics behind the nomination of Vargas Llosa as Nobel Prize of Literature

Hugo Adan (october 7-2010)

How a Nobel Prize of Literature was given to a man that was indicted by the Ayacucho Supreme Court of lying in relation to the Uchurajay massacre in 1983?. Incredeible!. More than a hundred poor peasants were assassinated in Ayacucho-Peru (among them primary school students) between abril-december 1983. Eight journalist from Lima went to Uchurajay (where the last massacre occurred) and they were assesinated too. A True Committee was set to investigate these crimes, it was presided by Vargas Llosa. The entire nation hope that he will unveil the truth, people believe in this honorable member of the oligarchy. He failed, he lie, he accuse the victims even though mounting evidences accuse the military of such crimes. (see in this regard Nizkor report from Esteban Cuya in Las comisiones de la Verdad in Latin America : http://www.derechos.org/nizkor/doc/verdad.html#per ) .

In 2003 another True Committee was set (we called CVR) and this one found that most of the crimes in Ayacucho at that time were done by the military. When the Ayacucho Court asked Vargas Llosa why he falsify the truth, he said that he was trying to save “democracy in Peru” and not the terrorists. He didn’t save democracy, he save the impunity of the military. The Ayacucho Court send a petition to the Supreme Court in Lima to indict him and he scape to Sapin. A summary of this report on CVR vs. Vargas Llosa I sent it to http://peru.indymedia.org/news/2003/08/2269.php ). In brief, Mario Vargas Llosa was an accomplice of the crimes against humanity committed by the military in Peru in the 1980s.

The phony democracy that Vargas Llose defended with lies was based on cruel dictatorship of the white oligarchy who ruled the nation since the independence from Spain. This oligarchy has close ties to bankers in NY like Pedro Pablo Kuczynski who was twice minister of Economics in Peru and serves know as advisor of the current President Garcia. Kuczynski was the implementer of the neoliberal policies that Vargas Llosa supported in Peru. Kuczynski and his mafia was the real ruler of Peru during Toledo’s Presidency, he was the mastermind who planned the selling Peruvian riches at banana price. This happens just when Vargas Llosa found his paradise in a town in the North of Peru in which one Minister of Toledo was accused of trafficking prostitution with minors. This is the kind of oligarchy that Vargas Llosa belong too.

He definitely keeps good relation with mafia bankers of NY (Kuczynski contacts and perhaps with Soros too). We wonder if they are behind this nomination of Nobel Prizes for literature as people suspect that they were in the nomination of Obama as nobel prize for peace (another liar). Some day we will know the politics and economics of all these nominations. We should not trust anymore the nobel prizes.

Vargas Llosa and the oligarchy in Peru are definitely accomplices of crimes against humanity in Peru. The resistance and social reaction to the oligarchical dictatorship was typified as “terrorism”. The rulers of Peru were using this policy in the 1980’s, the same one that we are using now (anti-terrorist laws) as an argument to excuse any abuse against the civilian population. One of the victims of these “laws”, is Lori Berenson, an American freelancer that try to interview a woman leader from MRTA, a rebel movement in Peru. This Bush type of policy was the one that Vargas Llosa defended in Peru.

The Nob el Prize to Vargas Llosa is a legitimation of past and current crimes against humanity, crimes against innocent people accused of being “terrorist”. Now that we have evidences that many innocent people were accused of this illegalities, just now comes this Nobel Prize. It certainly helps to legitimize the impunity of the real terrorist in power, a policy that entire nations of the world are against to.

The Peruvian population already punished Vargas Llosa in the 1990 electoral process. He had cynicism of postulating to the Presidency of Peru, but the nation preferred to vote an unknown person who promised not to implement the neoliberal shock therapy that Vargas Llosa was recommended to Peru. Now Fujimory –the unknown- is in prison for lying and for committing crimes against humanity, just the crimes that the Nobel Prize committee in Stockholm is trying to legitimize by prizing a wrong person.
