Who Is Ollanta Humala?

On June 5th Ollanta Humala became Peruvian President-elect and now will travel to Bolivia Monday night to hold a meeting with Bolivian President Evo Morales. According to Dr. Jack Wheeler at “To The Point”:
Ollanta Humala was educated in Peru’s best schools. His father, Isaac Humala, is a wealthy attorney and prominent intellectual who writes prolifically in praise of “Marxism-Leninism,” the philosophy of Soviet Communism. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Peruvian Army, he led an abortive coup attempt in 2000 against President Alberto Fujimori, copying Hugo Chavez’s similar stunt against Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez in 1992.
His brother Antauro fancies himself another Ché Guevara. In December 2004 he and a band of followers captured a police station in the Andes and tried to provoke a local revolt. When the peasantry failed to respond, Antauro killed four of the police officers. Captured, he’s now in prison.
Ollanta, cashiered from the army, is running for president bolstered by a flood of Chavez’s money. Peru is a far bigger prize for Chavez than Bolivia – and not just geographically (Peru is three times the size of California). Peru has three times as many people (27 vs. 9 million) and its $165 billion GDP dwarfs Bolivia’s $22 billion.
A straight-out Marxist, Ollanta has promised to nationalize much of Peru’s economy and abrogate the recently-signed Free Trade Agreement with the US. Yet the real threat is not economic. The real threat of Ollanta is real war with Peru’s neighbors
Dr. Wheeler suggests that the first target of Ollanta will be Columbia and the access that Columbia has to the Amazon, called the Trapecio Amazonico – the Amazon Trapeze. Next on the agenda teaming up with Bolivia in a war with Chile to get back the coastline that Chile won in the War of the Pacific from 1879-1884. Dr. Wheeler expects Venezuelan Chavez’s influence to grow in South America with the election of Ollanta. Don’t look now, but the economy of Peru will start to look like every other Socialist-Marxist country in the world, where the poor multiply as the leaders rob the wealth.
