opalo.mp3 ( http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/audio/opalo.mp3 ) is one of the three (so far) mp3s linked to on the Another Version of the Truth forums (wikify this link). It is a woman talking about a DEA (wikify this?) battle with a Columbian drug cartel.

~~Here is a mostly complete transcription of the Columbian woman who speaks~~ ==Spanish==:''cuando era ni–a, las cosas eran faciles. Pero ahora, (na–o?) llueve y llueve y llueve. --- sacamos las hojas de coca y ya (o alla) si quiere. dicen que es por la cal(BLUUR)miento de la tierra. Hace dos a–os, el (rio?) se llevo a la casa de mi hermano, y se llev— (?) a mi hermano, su esposa, mi sobrino, y a la bebŽ. Ni encontramos descubierta (el lodo?). Y donde se sac—? (no idea). el a–o pasado fue dif’cil, pero los hombres que compran las hojas de coca, nos dijernos (?) (something) que pudiŽrimos. mis "imos" y lo se llevaron. Esperamos y esperamos, y finalmente los dijeron lo que podemos (?) pagar. si porque nadie quiere comprar las hojas de coca . Mi hijita, que linda. Este a–o, las lluvias volvieron, y no se pudo sembrar. Ahora dice que la gente que nadie comprara las hojas de coca. Ya no llevayan nadie(?). En Bogota, solo si quiere "opalo" (?). Se compra "opal" en los esatos unidos, se ----- Bogota''

==English==

And here is a translation of that transcription:

When I was a little girl, things were easier. But now, it just rains and rains and rains. --- we take the coke papers there if you want. The say that it's for (something) of the earth. Two years ago, "they" arrived at the house of my brother, and they --- my brother, his wife, my nephew and their little baby girl. Neither could we discover ---. And where they were taken? (expressing that she doesn't know). The last year was difficult, but the men who buy the coke papers give us --- that we can be able to (she's saying that they support her to keep going on and fuel her existence). ---- We hope/wait and hope/wait, and finally they give us that which we need to pay (lost a word in here somewhere). If nobody wants to buy the coke papers... My little girl, so cute! This year the rains returned and we couldn't plant them. Now they say to the people that nobody wants to buy the coke papers. ----- In Bogota, all we want is "opal". They buy "opal" in the United states, ---- ---- in Bogota.
