(160,503 posts)The readers and researchers, and ordinary halfway bright people among us, and those of us who have learned the truth from former residents of Colombia, realize what the human rights organizations have been saying for years, and that is the AUC, which has conducted innumerable operations WITH the Colombian army, in massacres over many years, has been responsible for the "LION'S SHARE" of the massacres, murders, and narcotrafficking, going back for ages.
It's been popular knowledge all this time.
It has also been popular knowledge all this time, even discussed in print very recently, that the US has, although designating the AUC as a "terrorist group" nearly always turned a blind eye to their fiendish atrocities as they were the ones who often handled ALL the filthy violence and terrorism which assisted the Colombian government in keeping the Colombian population paralyzed with fear, but with which they couldn't afford to have the Colombian military too closely associated. They have done the wildly filthy work for them, acts you would pray would never bleed through into your own nightmares.
To pretend this has not happen indicates someone who is too lazy to research, or too duplicitous to ever be trusted on any subject.
