Kathleen Stockwell: Nicaragua and El Salvador in Contrast – Part 4 – The Contras (1987)

November 1987 interview with Kathleen Stockwell, daughter of John Stockwell http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FJohn-Stockwell%2Fe%2FB001J3MY7E%3Fqid%3D1279141823%26sr%3D1-2-ent&tag=doc06-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325

Historian Greg Grandin described a disjuncture between official ideals preached by the U.S. and actual U.S. support for terrorism. “Nicaragua, where the United States backed not a counter insurgent state but anti-communist mercenaries, likewise represented a disjuncture between the idealism used to justify U.S. policy and its support for political terrorism… The corollary to the idealism embraced by the Republicans in the realm of diplomatic public policy debate was thus political terror. In the dirtiest of Latin America’s dirty wars, their faith in America’s mission justified atrocities in the name of liberty.” Grandin examined the behaviour of the U.S. backed-contras and found evidence that it was particularly inhumane and vicious: “In Nicaragua, the U.S.-backed Contras decapitated, castrated, and otherwise mutilated civilians and foreign aid workers. Some earned a reputation for using spoons to gorge their victims eye’s out. In one raid, Contras cut the breasts of a civilian defender to pieces and ripped the flesh off the bones of another.”

Professor Frederick H. Gareau has written that the Contras “attacked bridges, electric generators, but also state-owned agricultural cooperatives, rural health clinics, villages and non-combatants.” U.S. agents were directly involved in the fighting. “CIA commandos launched a series of sabotage raids on Nicaraguan port facilities. They mined the country’s major ports and set fire to its largest oil storage facilities.” In 1984 the U.S. Congress ordered this intervention to be stopped, however it was later shown that the CIA illegally continued (See Iran-Contra affair). Gareau has characterized these acts as “wholesale terrorism” by the United States.

A CIA manual for training the Nicaraguan Contras in psychological operations, leaked to the media in 1984, entitled “Psychological Operations in Guerrilla War.” recommended “selective use of violence for propagandistic effects” and to “neutralize” government officials. Nicaraguan Contras were taught to lead:

…selective use of armed force for PSYOP psychological operations effect…. Carefully selected, planned targets — judges, police officials, tax collectors, etc. — may be removed for PSYOP effect in a UWOA unconventional warfare operations area, but extensive precautions must insure that the people “concur” in such an act by thorough explanatory canvassing among the affected populace before and after conduct of the mission.
—James Bovard, Freedom Daily

In a similar vein, former U.S. State Department official William Blum has written that “American pilots were flying diverse kinds of combat missions against Nicaraguan troops and carrying supplies to contras inside Nicaraguan territory. Several were shot down and killed. Some flew in civilian clothes, after having been told that they would be disavowed by the Pentagon if captured. Some contras told American congressmen that they were ordered to claim responsibility for a bombing raid organized by the CIA and flown by Agency mercenaries.” Similalry, former diplomat Clara Nieto, in her book “Masters of War”, charged that “the CIA launched a series of terrorist actions from the “mothership” off Nicaragua’s coast. In September 1983, she charged the agency attacked Puerto Sandino with rockets. The following month, frogmen blew up the underwater oil pipeline in the same port- the only one in the country. In October there was an attack on Pierto Corinto, Nicaragua’s largest port, with mortars, rockets and grenades, blowing up five large oil and gasoline storage tanks. More than a hundred people were wounded, and the fierce fire, which could not be brought under control for two days, forced the evacuation of 23,000 people.”

Rerum Novarum

The Vatican has long been involved in influencing Government policies,economic policies, and vast programs for social engineering. It has for some reason been a policy of theirs to undermine property rights and encourage the total redistribution of wealth, creating two classes, the haves and the workers. I wonder who does the banking for the Vatican, their wealth is unfathomable and they get more in donations every week ?
