The United
States has been intervening covertly and overtly in many countries
since the late 1800s, however the CIA's first black ops date back to
the World War II after Harry S. Truman signed the act by which the
agency was created on July 26, 1947. The Central Intelligence Agency
is responsible for terrorism, assassinations, military coups and
rebellions around the globe and has deceitfully used many NGOs guised
as organisms that promote human rights, democracy, freedom and
economic development, including USAID, NED and IRI, just to mention a
few.
Their true
objective is imperialist in nature. The U.S. has interest in every
country, be it for its natural resources, cheap labor force or
because of its strategic geographical location.
In order to
meet its goals, the CIA recruits influential, intellectual and
charismatic personalities. The agency also resorts to threats,
kidnapping, torture, enforced disappearances and assassinations. The
organization incites violence, uprisings and military rebellion, and
causes economic chaos and misery to the people through scarcity of
basic foods and so on. The CIA has been exposed on a number of
occasions through documented evidence, leaks of information and
whistleblowing by active and former agents.
Uruguay
- 1969
During the
sixties, revolutionary movements spread through Latin America.
Uruguay was drowned in crises. United States saw influential
socialist leaders emerge in this South American nation. For example
the urban revolutionary guerrilla known as the Tupamaros. Jose “Pepe”
Mujica was part of it and so was his wife Lucia Topolansky.
Washington became obsessed with eliminating them, fearing the
influence and power they were achieving.
Nelson
Rockefeller went to Uruguay to observe first hand how they were,
generating a growing anti-Yankee sentiment. He returned to Washington
to alert authorities that something needed to be done urgently. Of
course, the CIA responded immediately. They sent their special agent
Dan Mitrione. He trained security forces in the art of torture and
other highly macabre practices that are indescribable in nature. And
then the CIA put in power Juan Maria Bordaberry and his military
dictatorship.
He ruled
under direct order from Washington the next 12 years, during which he
killed hundreds of people and tortured tens of thousands more.
Repression was so brutal and Uruguayans were so traumatized and
fearful they no longer carried out their traditional dances, which
symbolize happiness and victory.
