The Argentine military staged a coup to stop the leftist Peronista movement and the communist MIRA? terrorists from staging their own coup and seize more of the government than they already held.
The coup was brutal and often unsparing. I’m not sure how much the US was involved in it, but many of those “human rights” protesters were communists. One Argentinian official Jacobo Timmerman, became the propaganda voice for the Marxists by posing as a Jewish human rights activist. However, his tights were to Castro, Nicaragua and the Soviet Union.
Of importance to me is that I have not seen any condemnation by Obama of the Iran/Hezollah bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires that killed scores of innocent people, men, women, children.
Nor did he condemn, while in Argentina (to my knowledge), the assassination of the official investigator of that bombing and Iran’s involvement, Mr. Nisam.
Obama likes communist and socialist dictators from the Castro Brothers and Che to the reds of Argentina, the Sandinista Marxists of Nicaragua, the FLMN of El Salvador, and the Bobbsey Twins of South America, Morales of Bolivia and the late, stinking Hugo Chavez and his puppet successor, Madura.
Obie was raised and trained in a Communist Party USA/Saul Alinsky Marxist environment all throughout his life, with a little Islam thrown in from his days in Indonesia.
Now you know that he is also anti-Semitic, which is nothing new to those of use who knew about his communist and pseudo-Jewish advisors (one of which belonged to my synagogue -a poseur).
If I can borrow from the Beattles, we should call this recent junket the “Red/Yellow Stripe and Commie-Loving Apology Tour”.
Excellent post. Thanks!
General René Schneider Chereau was one of the first people murdered back then. He was simply an honest traditional general who did not think the military should overthrow civilian government.
The CIA supplied sterile weapons for his assassination.
He was one of many decent people who were murdered, teachers, doctors, journalists, and others. The route of the ballot box was not tried. Constitutional processes were not tried.
Preventing a leftist Marxist from coming to power, by installing a fascist dictatorship is a disgusting idea. Obama sucks in every way, and his motivation is simply to hurt America. But Operation Condor is simply nothing for a conservative to be proud of.
There is no real difference in the Chilean junta mass murders, and the ones perpetrated by Castro and Che when they took over. Even the number of murders are somewhat roughly similar.
Hell, the junta even did book burnings in Chile.
