Comment on Costa Rica Planning Armed Invasion? by Editor

Editor — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:47:18 +0000

Greetings Jake and thanks for commenting on our site.

What you say is correct, the USA and Don Pepe create a deal to abolish the army in lieu that the USA would defend it from external or foreign aggression. I think in this case, the area which Ortega took over, was a disputed area between the two countries. Certainly, if they Ortega invaded Tamarindo, that aggression would invoke the treaty and result in US forces getting involved. Right now it is a diplomatic issue.

Finally, the supposed Armed Invasion would not be made foreign forces but by border police and public police.

I hope this helps

Where’s your evidence that “It was during that time when Don Pepe negotiated a deal with the USA via the CIA station chief for Costa Rica to abolish their army with the condition that should any foreign power invade Costa Rica’s territory that they USA would defend her. “

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the comments.

We are not run by DayStar. In 2008 they were the principal sponsor of the blog but that is no longer true. Maybe it is poor referencing to another businesses use of electric vehicles but it certainly has no splog qualities.

Cheers

These things are an eyesore and are just adding to the growing clutter of Jaco. The sight of these ridiculous dorks who ride them up and down the beach looks like something out of a Woody Allen movie.

And btw Sr. Editor, what is with the irrelevant reference to Daystar Properties in your response? LMG- This blog is run by Daystar. This presumably exempts you from the “No spam” policy.

Greetings Henry,

Jaco and Costa Rica has long held a tradition of being eco-friendly and eco-conscious, so the Segway machines are natural extensions of this attitude and we would like to see more electronic transporters moving around Jaco. DayStar Properties was the first commercial business to lead the way with green transportation. Perhaps the Segway PT’s will become more commonplace in Jaco as a result of this tour company. Also your comment provides its own answer: If surfers riding bikes carrying surfboards do not crash or get hurt, it is unlikely a Segway rider will become victim. How many bikers do you see in Jaco carrying 2 or 3 people on the bike at the same time?

If anyone has doubts let me raise one too, can anyone walk safely in Jaco? The streets are jammed with speeding taxis and surfboard carrying bicycle riders. According to the Segway site: http://www.segway-nova-mobility.com/products.html it says “The Segway PT is designed to operate as a pedestrian device anywhere someone can safely walk.”

How dumb can ICT be about only allowing US and some Canadian residents? There are 1000′s of tourists from south America, Europe and Asia that travel to Costa Rica each year. I know personally one guy who is a tourist rep for a German company who shuttles around on average 30 German citizens weekly for tours.
