-------- 
Summary: 
-------- 
 
1.  (SBU) Isaac Humala, patriarch of the clan that produced 
Ollanta Humala, recently described to us his movement's plans 
to undermine the Garcia Government.  Humala (pere) has 
created a philosophy called "Ethnocacerism" holding that 
Peru's oppressed masses must bring back a pro-indigenous, 
pro-coca, statist regime that recasts the Inca Empire in 
modern form.  Humala referred to a recent trip to Caracas and 
asserted that radical groups would work to undermine the 
Garcia government in order to lay the groundwork for a 
democratic "revolt of the masses," a Peruvian version of the 
elections that put Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and 
Bolivian President Evo Morales in power.  While the elder 
Humala's ideas may seem eccentric to outsiders, they appear 
to resonate in the rural, highlands areas of Peru where the 
state's presence is minimal.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (U) In a May 11 interview with Poloff, Isaac Humala, the 
74-year old patriarch of the Humala Clan described himself as 
a life-long revolutionary.  A former member of the Communist 
Party, he was expelled from the group in 1956 for advocating 
the party's restructuring.  It was at that time, Humala said, 
that he developed his idea of race, rather than class, being 
the key to understanding history.  He then incorporated this 
race-based idea into his evolving philosophy of 
Ethnocacerism.  (For details on the movement's ideology, see 
Ref D.) 
 
3.  (SBU) Humala's ideas would seem merely curious if they 
hadn't proven an effective launching pad for himself and his 
sons.  One son, Ollanta Humala, came within six percentage 
points of winning Peru's Presidency in 2006.  Another son, 
Antauro Humala, led an attempted violent rebellion in the 
Andean region of Apurimac in 2005 that grabbed national 
headlines and kindled fears of another nascent radical group 
destabilizing Peru.  (Refs B-C).  Antauro is now in prison, 
but remains active, writing books and articles for his 
newspaper.  Many observers believe that Antauro is actually 
more dangerous than his brother Ollanta.  Some of Antauro 
Humala's followers, called Ethnocaceristas, told Poloff 
recently that Antauro planned to run for President in 2011. 
 
4.  (U) The elder Humala said his family offers different 
variants on his basic philosophy.  These range from the "soft 
form" of the ideology espoused by former presidential 
candidate, Ollanta -- in which formal democratic processes 
are used to affect the desired change -- to the "pure" form 
espoused by Antauro.  (He did not elucidate what was meant 
with this latter adjective, but past events suggest it might 
be interpreted as a kind of Peruvian "any means necessary.") 
The apparently genuine differences between the visions of the 
Humala brothers have served the family's political ambitions 
well, in effect providing a menu of Humala options for Peru's 
frustrated and dissatisfied.  While Ollanta Humala succeeded 
in swaying some moderates to his cause in last year's 
elections, Antauro remains admired by the Ethnocaceristas' 
hard ideological core for his unrelenting discipline and 
focus, even in prison. 
 
5.  (SBU) The Humalas remain politically active, even as they 
have conducted most of their recent activities under the 
public radar.  Antauro recently published a book on 
"ethno-geopolitics," the study of competition between the 
worlds' major races, which his father has presented at 
various fora in Lima.  Antauro's newspaper (or political 
pamphlet) appears intermittently in rural areas like 
Ayacucho.  The Ethnocaceristas reportedly run about 40 
schools around the country in which they indoctrinate 
followers, mostly lower class and mestizo Peruvians, 
indigenous army veterans, in their philosophy of racial 
revolution.  During a May 13-15 trip to rural Apurimac, the 
 
APRA Mayor of Huancarama told Poloff that Antauro's followers 
were actively organizing in the small villages around his 
town (septel).  Isaac Humala also mentioned his recent trip 
to Caracas, suggesting the group's larger regional 
connections.  (He did not specify when he traveled to the 
Venezuelan capital.) 
 
--------------------------------- 
Humala Sees Things Moving His Way 
--------------------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) Humala (pere) asserted that the time of armed 
revolts in Latin America had passed, and been replaced by 
"revolts of the masses."  He described this phenomenon with 
reference to recent democratic elections in Venezuela and 
Bolivia, in which Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales had overwhelmed 
opposition candidates in votes that featured massive lower 
class participation and took place under the shadow of 
potential social unrest.  He described Venezuelan President 
Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales as leaders who 
represented "unconscious manifestations" of his idea of 
racial revolution in Latin America.  Humala stated that for 
something similar to happen in Peru, radical groups like his 
had to work to weaken and to undermine the Garcia government. 
 A weak, beleagured and ineffective government would pave the 
way for the emergence of a Chavez/Morales-style anti-systemic 
candidate to win Peru's 2011 presidential elections. 
 
7.  (SBU) Isaac Humala alleged that, to prevent the otherwise 
inevitable election of a radical candidate, President Garcia, 
Peru's elites and the United States would rig the 2011 
presidential election in their favor.  He claimed that this 
had already been done in 2006, when the conspiring elites had 
engineered Garcia's (as he saw it) illegitimate victory over 
Lourdes Flores in the first round of voting.  Humala was 
certain that, had Lourdes Flores faced Ollanta Humala rather 
than Garcia in the second round, his son Ollanta would have 
won the presidency, and cited Lourdes Flores' own accusations 
of electoral fraud as proof of this imagined plot. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
Comment: Peru Still Vulnerable to Radical Ideologies 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
 
8.  (SBU) The elder Humala's ideas may seem eccentric to 
outsiders, but they appear to resonate in the rural, 
highlands areas of Peru, where government presence is nearly 
nil, and among the country's diminishing but still 
significant population of dispossesed.  Under the right 
circumstances, this highly volatile population may be easily 
convinced and readily mobilized.  While recent reports that 
Ollanta Humala had masterminded recent cocalero, mining and 
agricultural protests seemed to us unrealistic and overblown, 
the larger Humala group has successfully tapped into 
preexisting demonstrations of discontent and, in some cases, 
claimed a measure of credit for them.  Recent press reports 
indicated that Ethnocaceristas had inserted themselves into 
the ongoing protest over ownership of Lima's Santa Anita 
market (Ref A).  Should the Garcia government fail to deliver 
on its promises to improve the lives of poor Peruvians, 
Humala and his scions will be ready to harvest the growing 
discontent.
