The taking of Santa Cruz | La toma de Santa Cruz

Humberto Vacaflor Ganam, El Diario:

Just as Russia views the Ukraine as part of its territory, Chapare strategists see Santa Cruz as their land of expansion, or their backyard.

The strategy includes attitudes typical of the most aggressive imperialisms, although the details of this operation are known only to a few people from Santa Cruz.

Cocaine is behind almost all the operations of Chapareño expansionism, winning partners for the most profitable business in Bolivia.

Santa Cruz is the territory that separates Chapare from the largest drug market in the Americas, Brazil, and strategists have decided to control it.

The businesses of the Chapare members, within the Santa Cruz territory, offer the “Magic Powder”, on signs with the portrait of the Colombian Pablo Escobar, so that no one can doubt what it is about.

The transport of the drug would need a coca-duct, but since that is not possible, the strategists have devised ingenious and even daring transport systems.

The most daring of all included the decision of the government of Evo Morales (the senior strategist) to install the urea factory in Chapare, thinking that the largest market for this fertilizer is Brazil, just like for drugs.

A transport system, which includes the project to complete the railway route, will be at the service of the two star products that Chapare offers to Brazil.

But since the connection section, Bulo Bulo-Montero, is not finished, trucks are used to carry the urea and what can go as an accompanying product, as “added value.”
What can be offered along the way, as a curtain, to justify the traffic of dust, or paste?

Strategists, a bit clumsy, they thought of carrying a load that would hide the star product, and they came up with sand, gravel.

Carry sand that far? Chapare sand to compete with the local one? 350 kilometers compared to 10 kilometers of the local sand?

The idea was imposed, thinking that all this would be protected by the national government, controlled by the business, and supported by the mayors of the intermediate towns that are from the MAS.

The important thing is to move with “la merca” to the east, as close as possible to the border with Brazil.

The aggregates of the Chapare as a cover for drugs have been imposed in Santa Cruz. The action of these operators of the Chapare empire is so powerful and aggressive that they have managed to control organizations of transporters from Santa Cruz, now their allies to fight those who want to sell the aggregates of the Santa Cruz rivers.

In that they are. For the moment, a preview of this series that will deal with the details of the capture of Santa Cruz by the Chapare:
A businessman from Santa Cruz who was dedicated to the sale of aggregates, and did not give in to the pressure and blackmail of the hitmen, was attacked by a mayor at the service of the Chapare.

His hitmen have broken the businessman’s legs. And the strategists have ordered the Masista judges that, just as he is, in bed, immobilized, he is taken to jail.

The details of this dark story are coming.
