It was the product of a number of depraved imaginations employed by US policy-makers in their full knowledge of the depth of the depravities involved - in fact the individuals had been hired for their efficiency in instilling terror and extracting information ... lots on record regarding this, check out Batallón 316 some time ... or use the english 'battalion' ... here we are - 'Colonel Juan López Grijalva, another three-time graduate of the SOA in Battalion 316, returns to the SOA as a guest lecturer in both 1991 and 1992.

.. the 'SOA' there, that's the 'army school of the Américas' run by the US federal government at Fort Benning now, used to be in Panamá ... btw, the history of the argentino units from which many came can be traced back to nazis who had been helped to enmigrate in 1947 with the help of Evita Peron, in an operation called Die Spinne
This was a rinky-dink little country with a rinky-dink little experiment in something they called 'communism' following their ouster of a pig of a dictator, and the men who operated the most massively powerful military force the planet has ever known chose to hire torturers to terrorise its population and plant landmines that are still blowing up its children, to get the money with which to do so by selling drugs into US cities and selling arms to Iran ... Equis says 'perception is reality' but it is also true that realities stimulate perception, and quite graphically -

Todo se quemó allá lejos'

There is no excuse for North, nor for Reagan who hired him, and there never will be, 'plausible deniability' only works until proof comes out ... i can't see the point in glossing over this stuff, or pretending it doesn't happen, it does happen and it's been happening for over two hundred years - mbay.net
Learning how it happens and hopefully how to avoid it would seem to be important at a time like this ... you say in a later post that US nationals don't know much about 'foreign policy', don't much concern themselves with it, well i think that is true and explains a great deal of it, but perhaps it is time they did, after all these are their tax dollars at work, their futures on the line ... maybe with a casualty count of this size on US soil they will, for a little while. |
