Former Guatemalan Dictator Ríos Montt to face genocide charges for 1980s abuses

[Jan Klimkowski]

Magda - precisely.

The lying and doublethink continues.

More examples of Big Lies and Big Cop Outs:

"Part of the burden of that historical responsibility was that the United States tried to use Guatemala as a bulwark against Communism," Ms. Doyle said. "The U.S. played a very powerful and direct role in the life of this institution, the army, that went on to commit genocide."

The "bulwark against Communism" Big Lie.

This policy was about protecting and furthering an economic model based on exploitation of the ordinary people and the natural resources of central and south America to make massive profits for foreign, primarily US, corporations.

What could be called The United Fruit Company Agenda.

Over the next two years, about $15 million in spare parts and vehicles from the United States reached the Guatemalan military, said Prof. Michael E. Allison, a political scientist at the University of Scranton who studies Central America. More aid came from American allies like Israel, Taiwan, Argentina and Chile. In the 1990s, the American government revealed that the C.I.A. had been paying top military officers throughout the period.
"It was like a monster that we created over which we had little leverage," Professor Allison said.

"We can't control these people" Big Cop Out.

First, They deny crimes against humanity.

When proof emerges, They deny involvement.

When evidence establishes that crimes against humanity were committed by monsters trained, funded and armed by the US, They deny responsibiliity and control.

And MSM holds each of these lines for as long as it can, until complicity is proven and it's time for the Chant of the War Criminals to fill the airwaves signalling the end of the discussion.

The slimy, noxious, weaseling Chorus of the War Criminals:

WE MOVE ON.
