'Cleansers' blamed for murders of Sao Paulo homeless

The Brazilian authorities believe that hired death squads or "social cleansing" groups are the most likely perpetrators of attacks which have killed at least seven homeless people in Sao Paulo.
On one night alone five vagrants were clubbed to death as they lay sleeping in the central district near the cathedral, and another 10 were seriously wounded.

Further attacks were carried out on subsequent days, despite an increase in police patrols. A seventh fatal beating was discovered on Thursday. The police report that the victims were sleeping alone and in most cases were killed by a hammer-like single blow to the head.
The murders, which have shocked social workers and human rights groups, highlight the plight of the estimated 10,000 homeless people living rough in South America's biggest city.

"The systematic nature of these crimes leave us in no doubt that this is the work of an organised group," Pedro Montenegro, the ombudsman with the presidential human rights committee assigned to the case, said. The police have not yet established a clear line of inquiry, but they have suggested that neo-Nazi groups may be responsible, pointing to the recent publication of pamphlets hostile to vagrants.
"This seems to be the work of a death squad, but the circumstances would suggest an isolated group acting with hatred rather than money as its motive," Pedro Paulo Talin, coordinator of a group managing an anonymous tip-off service in cooperation with the police.

In another recent incident six vagrants nearly died when they drank from a liquor bottle laced with rat poison.

KISSINGER CAUGHT TELLING PINOCHET TO "DO IT QUICKLY" SAME DAY AS SUPREME COURT.......

KISSINGER TO THE ARGENTINE GENERALS IN 1976: "IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE, YOU SHOULD DO THEM QUICKLY"

EXCERPT...

Washington, August 27, 2004 - A newly declassified document obtained by the National Security Archive shows that amidst vast human rights violations by Argentina’s security forces in June 1976, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told Argentine Foreign Minister Admiral Cesar Augusto Guzzetti:

"If there are things that have to be done, you should do them quickly. But you should get back quickly to normal procedures."

Kissinger’s comment is part of a 13-page Memorandum of Conversation reporting on a June 10 meeting between Secretary Kissinger and Argentine Admiral Guzzetti in Santiago, Chile.

After a series of pleasantries, Guzzetti went into the substance of the meeting by stating: "Our main problem in Argentina is terrorism. It is the first priority of the current government that took office on March 24. There are two aspects to the solution. The first is to ensure the internal security of the country; the second is to solve the most urgent economic problems over the coming 6 to 12 months. Argentina needs United States understanding and support...."

Replying to Guzzetti’s report on the situation, Secretary Kissinger said: "We have followed events in Argentina closely. We wish the new government well. We wish it will succeed. We will do what we can to help it succeed."

3. Octafish - I dont know much about

what happened in Chile...but I see the talk of :

"Our main problem in Argentina is terrorism. It is the first priority of the current government that took office on March 24. There are two aspects to the solution. The first is to ensure the internal security of the country; the second is to solve the most urgent economic problems over the coming 6 to 12 months"


When and what was their "attack"

seems to me to have similarities to what has happened here, " the "necessity" for internal security (meaning kill civil liberties and turn the country into a police state)

is this connected to the attack here...deja vu?

[Octafish]

4. Seems to me to be BFEE SOP.

The situations in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and other countries are exactly what came to the USA on 9-11. Like the NAZIs, the BFEE consolidated power through terror. And the pukes and DEMs went along with it...

I bring up CONDOR because it was the cover operation, a series of international death squads. If a Paraguayan dissident found refuge in Argentina. No problem. The Argentinian death squad will take care of him or her.

This seems shocking to those hearing it for the first time. To think that this is really old -- going back to the 1962 -- should fry some network newsanchor memory banks. For instance, check out Operation NORTHWOODS. The Pentagon wanted JFK to allow the murder of US military personnel and civilians as an excuse to invade Cuba. JFK fired the Chairman of the JCS (Lemnitzer), but he couldn't save himself from the rest of the War Party.

Mebbe that's why Bush and Poppy Bush are so quick to make war -- it's good for business and their health.

Bush and the CONDOR Mystery

By Robert Parry

Newly released U.S. government documents reveal that George Bush's CIA knew more about Chile's role in an international assassination ring, code-named Condor, than Bush and the agency disclosed to FBI agents investigating a Condor terrorist bombing in Washington, D.C., in 1976.

On June 30, the Clinton administration released several documents about Operation Condor in response to demands from American researchers and requests from Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, who is seeking to extradite Chile's former dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet, and put him on trial for crimes against humanity.

The new documents suggest that the CIA and its then-director, George Bush, withheld information that could have helped the FBI in its investigation of a terrorist car-bombing in Washington that killed Chilean dissident Orlando Letelier and American co-worker Ronni Moffitt on Sept. 21, 1976.

The records show U.S. intelligence was well aware that Pinochet's government in Chile had organized seven South American military dictatorships into Operation Condor, a cross-border assassination ring to hunt down leftists. But instead of sharing that information with federal criminal investigators, Bush's CIA withheld it -- and even diverted suspicion away from Pinochet's junta.

U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba

By David Ruppe November 7, 2001

N E W Y O R K, May 1 — In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.



Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.
The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.

When Tyrants Tremble

EXCERPT...

On September 11, 1973, the armed forces led by General Pinochet overthrew the left-wing government of President Salvador Allende Gossens in a ruthlessly executed coup, in the aftermath of which more than a thousand people died. President Allende shot himself after the Chilean air force bombed the presidential palace where he was holding out with his personal bodyguards and a small group of advisors. Imposing a state of siege across the country, the military junta, presided over by Pinochet, hunted down members and sympathizers of the Allende government, especially members of the Socialist Party, the Communist Party and the extreme-left Movement of the Revolutionary Left (Movimiento de la Izquierda Revolucionaria, MIR).

Most of the repression was carried out by a new entity, the Directorate of National Intelligence (Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional, DINA), which first emerged in October 1973. This body, headed by Pinochet's former pupil, army Col. Manuel Contreras Sepúlveda, accrued enormous power, largely supplanting the intelligence branches of the armed forces, until it was dissolved in 1977. The DINA was formally subordinate to the military junta but in practice responded solely to the orders of General Pinochet. Contreras initiated and coordinated a plan of cooperation between the DINA in Chile and parallel military intelligence agencies in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. The plan's purpose was to trade prisoners and intelligence in an effort to eliminate left-wing opposition activity in the participating countries, as well as to monitor the activities of exiles in the United States and Europe. The plan, which included the surveillance, "disappearance," and assassination of political targets, went by the code-name "Operation Condor." Documents found in the archives of the Paraguayan police intelligence services following the fall of dictator Gen. Alfredo Stroessner in February 1989 confirmed the extent of this coordination. Chilean and Argentinian state agents were responsible for the abduction in Argentina and "disappearance" in both countries of scores of Chileans seeking to escape the repression in Chile. The DINA conspired with anti-Castro Cuban terrorists and Italian neo-Fascists to murder prominent Chilean opposition leaders in exile. On September 30, 1974, Gen. Carlos Prats, Pinochet's predecessor as army commander-in-chief, and his wife Sofía Cuthbert, were killed by a car bomb in Buenos Aires. A year later, on October 6, 1975, Christian Democrat leader Bernardo Leighton and his wife Anita Fresno were gravely wounded in a shooting attack in Rome by a DINA-contracted Italian terrorist. The most notorious crime committed as part of Operation Condor was the September 21, 1976 car-bomb assassination in Washington D.C. that claimed the lives of Allende's former foreign minister, Orlando Letelier, and U.S. citizen Ronni Moffitt.

The Condor Years

How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents

By John Dinges NEW PRESS; 322 Pages; $25.95


Henry Kissinger continues to cast a deep, lingering shadow over the violent middle decades of the Cold War years. From 1969 to 1977, his smug baritone dominated U.S. foreign policy, guiding many of the more dubious alliances formed with less-than-democratically minded governments. It should come as no surprise, then, as John Dinges makes clear in his book "The Condor Years," that Kissinger played a role in the unflinching brutality that was known as Operation Condor.
Led by Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, Condor was a highly organized anti-terrorist, anti-communist military intelligence operation carried out by six "Southern Cone" countries (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil), roughly between 1973 and 1980. During that time, anywhere from 15, 000 to 30,000 people were tortured or murdered by the group, all in the name of keeping communist forces from gaining a foothold in South America -- and keeping corrupt military dictatorships in power.

The ball started rolling with the 1970 election of Salvador Allende as the president of Chile. Allende immediately took steps to socialize the country's economy, taking business ownership away from several large U.S. corporations and handing them over to local workers. Kissinger and President Nixon, hardly amused by a country in the Western Hemisphere "going communist," gave the nod to the CIA to stage a military coup, resulting in the kidnapping and (possibly mistaken) murder of Chilean chief of staff Rene Schneider. By 1973, under pressure from militant groups on the right and left, and buckling under a U.S. embargo, the Allende government was overthrown by Gen. Pinochet's forces. Allende was killed in a firefight.

Soon after installing himself in power, Pinochet reached out to other like-minded military dictatorships in South America and set up Operation Condor, a far-reaching operation that shared information and coordinated action against leftist groups, and -- through a process of intimidation, arrest, torture and murder -- attempted to break the back of the opposition. Although the U.S government didn't officially support Condor, it tended to turn a blind eye to some of its more violent -- and illegal -- actions.

Kissinger, like any master of realpolitik, refrained from making any overt comments about the situation, instead using the CIA and U.S. embassies in South America to communicate his wishes by gesture, inference and inaction. "Under the leadership of Henry Kissinger," Dinges writes, "first as Richard Nixon's national security adviser and later as secretary of state, the United States sent an unequivocal signal to the most extreme rightist forces that democracy could be sacrificed in the cause of ideological warfare. Criminal operational tactics, including assassination, were not only acceptable but supported with weapons and money."

Dinges brings to light all manner of recently declassified CIA and State Department memos and communications, including one in which the U.S. ambassador to Chile, David Popper, alarmed by the human rights abuses he was witnessing, made the mistake of broaching the subject to Pinochet during a meeting, the result of which was a quick Chilean protest to Kissinger, who shot back a memo to the embassy saying, "Tell Popper to cut out the political science lectures." Unsurprisingly, this curt reprimand doesn't exactly place Kissinger on the right side of history.

The abuses Condor perpetrated against leftist groups remained largely ignored for years, but thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and interviews with former officials and those who escaped the carnage alive, Dinges is able to go into remarkable detail in exposing the actions of both the opposition groups and the military strongmen who battled them. One often-overlooked nugget Dinges includes in the book is one of the most brazen acts of terrorism Condor ever attempted -- in Washington, D.C., of all places.

Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean ambassador to Washington and a Pinochet opponent, was assassinated when his car was blown up near Sheridan Square by a remote-control bomb in September 1976. Several men working for Condor were later arrested, and it was soon discovered that the group also had its sights on then-New York Rep. Ed Koch for a brief period of time.

Operation Condor fell victim to its own internal tensions in the late 1970s and broke apart soon after. By the early 1990s, none of the participating governments were still in power, and few involved had ever been brought to justice. But in 1996, Joan Graces, who at the time of the 1973 Chilean coup was an adviser to Allende, and by the 1990s was working as a lawyer in Spain, started work to bring charges against Pinochet, alleging that Chile and Argentina were participants in a conspiracy to commit human rights crimes.

At the same time, in a separate case, a court in Spain had begun proceedings to prosecute former members of Argentina's military junta for human rights abuses carried out in the '70s. Using contacts at the FBI, Graces unearthed thousands of Department of Justice, FBI and CIA documents outlining what the U.S. government knew about Condor and its crimes, and in October 1998, Pinochet was arrested in London.

There are more than 200 international warrants for the arrest of military officials who took part in Condor, but the U.S. government has remained mum on the issue. Kissinger has refused to testify in criminal proceedings related to Condor, and Dinges says that there is ample evidence of "cooperation, liaison, acquiescence, and even complicity" between the United States and Condor.

The Cold War, like the current war on terrorism, made for strange bedfellows. Nixon and Kissinger were willing to overlook human rights abuses and fund the overthrow of a democratically elected socialist government in the name of containing communism. Dinges' book, dense with fact and personal account, goes a long way toward finally bringing the truths of that dark time into the light.

17. They ALWAYS say the operation ended...

...Sure. But something else started in its place.

BTW: Before CONDOR, there was Operation PHOENIX. That was the CIA's program for the extermination of tens of thousands of Vietnamese civilians SUSPECTED of being Viet Cong. No trial. No jury. Just execution.

BTW: One author, Ralph McGee, thinks many USN Seals and USA Green Berets were recruited forthe CIA program. McGee also believes former Sen. Bob Kerrey (of 9-11 Commission fame) was part of a team that murdered dozens of women and children in an effort to cover their tracks on one of these Phoenix operations. Viewed from today, the whole damn thing makes perfect sense.

15. If America knew what the CIA was -same old, same old, the CIA wouldn't

warn Congressman Koch he was targeted for assassination by the South
Americans because "it would expose their informants" and they didnt
think it was serious, until Ambassador Letelier was killed in Washington DC....then months after they knew about the threat on the
Congressman, they decided to tell him he should" take care."

Does this sound like 9 11 ---- CIA behind the scenes promoting the
terrorists and not wanting to reveal they were going to attack?

YES

NOTE: Pages 1 and 3 of this document were not released.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On March 6, 2001, The New York Times reported the existence of a recently declassified State Department document revealing that the United States facilitated communications among South American intelligence chiefs who were working together to eliminate left-wing opposition groups in their countries as part of a covert program known as Operation Condor.
The document, a 1978 cable from Robert E. White, the U.S. ambassador to Paraguay, was discovered by Professor J. Patrice McSherry of Long Island University, who has published several articles on Condor. She called the cable "another piece of increasingly weighty evidence suggesting that U.S. military and intelligence officials supported and collaborated with Condor as a secret partner or sponsor."

In the cable, Ambassador White relates a conversation with General Alejandro Fretes Davalos, chief of staff of Paraguay's armed forces, who told him that the South American intelligence chiefs involved in Condor "keep in touch with one another through a U.S. communications installation in the Panama Canal Zone which covers all of Latin America." This installation is "employed to co-ordinate intelligence information among the southern cone countries." White, whose message was sent to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, is concerned that the U.S. connection to Condor might be revealed during the then ongoing investigation into the deaths of former Chilean foreign minister Orlando Letelier and his American colleague Ronni Moffitt who were killed by a car bomb in Washington, D.C. "It would seem advisable," he suggests, "to review this arrangement to insure that its continuation is in U.S. interest."

The document was found among 16,000 State, CIA, White House, Defense and Justice Department records released last November on the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, and Washington’s role in the violent coup that brought his military regime to power. The release was the fourth and final "tranche" of records released under the Clinton Administration's special Chile Declassification Project.

"This document opens a pandora's box of questions on the U.S. knowledge of, and role in, Operation Condor," said Senior Analyst Peter Kornbluh, director of the National Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project.

The Archive published a second document - a page from a CIA cable regarding Brazil's role in Operation Condor - that Kornbluh said contained information that could shed light on this issue. The undated page refers to "CondorTel" - the "communications network established by the Condor countries." Kornbluh pointed out that the entire next line has been censored by the CIA.

The National Security Archive called on the U.S. Intelligence Community - NSA, CIA, DIA and other Defense Department bureaus at the U.S. Southern Command - to fully divulge their files on communications assistance to the military regimes in the southern cone.

From Pallas180's story:

The most notorious case of vigilante violence in Brazil was in 1993, when eight homeless children sleeping on the steps of the Candelaria cathedral in central Rio de Janeiro were killed. Three off-duty policemen were eventually convicted, but most of the attackers escaped.

18. Poppy Bush should be in jail for protecting TERRORISTS!

The Ronni Moffit Orlando Letelier murder was the work of DINA. Bush, as Director of Central Intelligence, did all he could to cover up the terrorist angle. Why? Could it be Bush's CIA protected terrorists? Could it be why so many consider his dim son W the world's Number One terrorist?

Orlando Letelier

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

"Are you the wife of Orlando Letelier?" asked the anonymous caller. "Yes," she answered. "No," the caller said, "You are his widow."

A week later, on September 21, 1976, the exiled Chilean diplomat and prominent critic of the CIA-backed Pinochet regime was torn to pieces by a car bomb on the streets of Washington DC. Also killed was Letelier's American aide, Ronni Moffit. Her husband, blown clear of the car, immediately began shouting that Chilean fascists were responsible for the atrocity.

He was right, but those fascists had powerful allies in Washington. An FBI informant knew of the plot to assassinate Letelier before the fact but the FBI did nothing to protect him. After the bombing, CIA Director George Bush told the FBI that there'd been no Chilean involvement whatever. The CIA was certain of this, he said, because it had many reliable sources inside the Chilean secret police, DINA.

Actually, the CIA had known that a DINA hit squad was in the US and headed for Washington. After the bombing, the agency purged its files of photos of the assassins. The CIA and DINA then began planting stories in the press suggesting that Letelier had been killed by leftists seeking to make a martyr of him.

The FBI figured out the identities of Letelier's assassins within weeks, but didn't charge them until the CIA's cover-up unraveled several years later. The unraveling began a month after the killing, when a Cuban airliner was bombed,killing 73 passengers. That bombing was done by a violent group of CIA-linked Cuban exiles who were connected with the Bay of Pigs and the JFK assassination and who went on to do similar things in El Salvador and Nicaragua.

You folks made my DU Day! Hey! Didya hear about Poppy Bush and the anti-Castro Cuban terrorists he pardoned? A "descent" man, that Orlando Bosch, a real NAZI.

WSWS : Correspondence

On George Bush's pardon of anti-Cuban terrorist Orlando Bosch

Dear WSWS:

The terrorist activities of Orlando Bosch are fully documented in the book Deadly Secrets by Warren Hinkle and William Turner, who in turn drew their information from a Senate investigation led by Senator Kerry into the activities of the CIA.

Bosch was a cohort of Posada Carriles, a Cuban pediatrician who became a world renowned terrorist for the CIA. Carriles has taken claim for the recent wave of hotel bombings in Havana, Cuba. Both men were trained together at Fort Benning, Georgia. Bosch was the founder of the "Command of the United Revolutionary Organizations" formed to cooperate with the DINA Chilean secret police and other Latin American repressive organisms in the murder of leftists throughout the region, including the assassination of the Chilean ambassador, Letelier, in Washington, DC.

The US government has repeatedly declined to extradite Bosch to Cuba to stand trial for the bombing of the Cubana airliner in 1976. In my opinion, there can only be two clear reasons for the denial. One, Bosch would prove very embarrassing for the US at a trial in Cuba. Two, his extradition would destroy the close political relationship between the exile Cubans who demanded his release and the Republican Party.

The quarterly magazine Cuba Update, September 1992, page 3, of the Center for Cuban Studies, New York, also carries the complete history of Bosch's participation in the bombing of the Cubana airliner and his subsequent pardon.

According to the New York Time of August 17, 1989, Cuban right-wing congressperson Ros-Lehtinen met with former President Bush to negotiate Bosch's release. The meeting was arranged by her campaign manager, Jeb Bush, who had earlier met with Cuban hunger strikers also demanding the release. Bosch was pardoned on July 18, 1990 and the New York Times was the lonely voice denouncing Bush's pardon on an editorial published July 20, 1990.

Orlando Bosch: The Bush Family's Favorite Terrorist

Twenty-five years ago, on October 6, 1976, Cuba was victim to a premeditated and heinous crime. A Cubana Airline aircraft was the target of a cowardly act of sabotage that blew it up in mid flight offshore Barbados. All the passengers and crewmembers on board were killed, including the young winners of the Central American and Caribbean Fencing Championship and a group of Guyanese students. The 73 victims are still awaiting justice.

The main culprits have never been brought to trial or sanctioned. Those who conceived, planned and directed this act of genocide have a long history of terrorism that began in the 1960's under the auspices of the CIA. The role they played in the blowing-up of the Cubana aircraft and the cold-blooded murder of all those on board are well known by the U.S. government. On June 23, 1989, the Department of Justice of that country admitted that it possessed information on the case, which it had kept a secret.

Despite his infamous history, including serious crimes committed on American soil, contrary to the ruling of the Attorney General's Office and in spite of the opposition of major U.S. media, one of these terrorists, Orlando Bosch, has lived in the United States for more than ten years, thanks to a decision by the then-President George Bush, and there he has continued to carry out his monstrous trade undisturbed. This man and his cronies, confident of the complete impunity they enjoy and backed up by the so-called Cuban-American National Foundation announced, in a Miami daily paper full page last August 22, that they would continue to use all means and methods available against Cuba without ruling out either terrorism or violence.

SNIP...

Isn’t it time the United States stops providing a “safe haven” for Orlando Bosch?

25. Fantastic post octafish!

Just curious, have you ever read The Last Investigation by Gaeton Fonzi? It's a great book about his work as an investigator for the HSCA from 1976 to 1979. He came to the conclusion that there will never be a fair investigation, "independent" or otherwise into our government again. One of the incidents that he investigates is Letelier, and I remember he did find evidence of CIA complicity.

[Octafish]

26. Thanks, robertpaulsen! Gaeton Fonzi is one heck of a patriot.

Fonzi's book "The Last Investigation" should be required reading in American high schools. If the neo-con Reich has its way, there'll be almost zero probabability of that happening anytime soon. The reason: Fonzi documents issues from the number of shots fired in Dealey Plaza to the connections between the anti-Castro Cuban community and the CIA. Still, we work toward the day when the Truth about these traitors is known.

Fonzi popped into my head one of the biggest ideas I ever came across. He established that the CIA and anti-Castro Cubans were in leauge. That helped me see why the US Government did all it could to make war on Cuba before President Kennedy's murder, why the CIA did all it could to blame the treason on Oswald and Castro and why the US GOvernment did all it could to cover up the conspiracy afterward.

BTW: One of the principals from then still haunts America. His name: George Herbert Walker Bush. Here's proof in the form of two FBI memos.

The first was written MINUTES after the President's death on November 22, 1963. In it Poppy rats out a JAMES PARROTT.



Dated a week later, the second FBI memo, this one from J Edgar Hoover himself, mentions "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency." Do you think it could be the same fellah? I do. In it the guy I think is Poppy CLEARS the anti-Castro Cubans, some of the very people most likely involved in the assassination.

PS: Sorry to sound so redundant. I hate treason and I want to see traitor punished.

28. It's not redundant when history records "lone-nut assassin" as fact.

Sorry to take so long responding, my computer keeps crashing.

Great copies of those documents! Real smoking guns, with Poppa on the giving side.
