US Terror - Panama 1989
by Luís Garcia
In the 70s, Omar Torrijos Herrera, Panama's democratically elected president, embarked on a fight against the United States to gain Panama's sovereignty, while expelling the US military from the School of the Americas located near the canal. For those who don't know, the School of the Americas is the North American terrorist institution where Trojan horses like the Contras are formed to then be used by the USA to terrorize the natives living in its backyard (Latin America). In July 1981, Omar Torrijos died in a plane explosion, a terrorist act most certainly perpetrated by the US terrorist organization named CIA.
Since then, the School of the Americas has been located at Fort Benning, Georgia, USA, where terrorists continue to be formed to commit all sorts of atrocities all over the planet. Manuel Noriega, a Panamanian military man who came to power in Panama with the help of the coup executed by the US after the assassination of Omar Torrijos, graduated from this very same school. He spread, as is well known, waves of terror over the country and privatized everything that Omar Torrijos had nationalized, handing Panama's wealth back into the hands of half a dozen US capitalists.
His single sin was to repeatedly delay the reprivatization of the Panama Canal back into American hands, so he and his country eventually paid a very high price (1989 invasion).
Most in the West remember 1989 as the year when the Berlin Wall fell, and when Saddam was framed by piles of lies when trying to regain control over its historical and oil-rich province of Kuwait stolen by the British imperialists in 1961. Yet, the real crime against humanity occurred in Panama!
On December 20, 1989, the US invaded the small and defenseless state of Panama, capturing the US-created Panamanian dictator General Manuel Noriega and took him to the US where he was accused and condemned for drug trafficking, money laundering, and corruption. The old tired cliche accusations for those not fully kneeling and, indeed, a very convenient solution for this sort of Latin Bin Laden.
