The recent post on the recent exposure of another murderer trained at the
SOA should help clear the air of some of the crap the SOA puts out.
Comrade Martel's attempts to make the SOA look clinical are worthy of
comment. His hype is exactly what the SOA is all about. The school does
not teach torture. Instead, it practices an insidious form of
indoctrination, wherein the Latin American officers are shown, ever so
quietly, that "democracy" is considered "good" by the US sources of money
to the Latin American military establishments, and "communist threats"
are evil, and of course, being careful to always work to destroy evil and
promote good is what Comrade Martel is all about, so heck, who is too
stupid to not get the message: do whatever it takes to destroy elements
the US military identifies with "COMMUNIST THREAT" and the money will be
paid to support the military establishment in Latin America. This is the
mentality in the US army and the LA armies, in spite of the tremendous
differences between the US and LA cultures and national interests, and
both sides use this quiet rapport to channel money, build cliques, and
organize murder of progressives trying to help the people of Latin
America. It is shameful that the SOA exists, even more shameful that we
pay for it, and perhaps more shameful of all, is the fact that the
so-called nationalist military officers in Latin America sell out their
own people playing this game.
