  4. A wee item about the #Sackler foundation donating money, in this case to an #NHS trust caught. Rightful outrage and questions about how they have managed avoid prison.

    Then I remembered that the USA is a country that funded arms to #Iran, in order to support Central American terrorists by promoting the sale and distribution of drugs in their own country (#IranContra). If it was a film script or a novel it would be rejected as fantasy. The Sacklers fit in.

  11. The #Reagan admin engaged in blatant violations of federal #law during the #IranContra scandal, in which it sold weapons to the #Iran regime & used the finances to support anti-communist death squads in #Nicaragua. George H. W. #Bush, the former head of the #CIA, pardoned nearly all of the officials implicated in Iran-Contra—a move that many Americans supported, because they believed that fighting communism justified extreme measures.

  30. which brings me to that “endpoint” to Plan Condor: 1983

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983

    i believe it was “ended” because it was wildly succesful. it was 3 years after the successful “soft coup” against Jimmy Carter and with the help of the #OPEC #petromafia cartel. it was also 4 years before the world knew of the #IranContra scandal and the role of the corporatist cadre of the #GOP #Republican Party as a shadow government behind the USA oligarchy’s #DirtyWars :

  32. .> Why in the world would anyone want to resurrect Elliott Abrams?...
    .> It is particularly risible that Abrams would be appointed to a position charged with maintaining integrity in U.S. public diplomacy....
    .> He was convicted in 1991 of two misdemeanor counts of unlawfully withholding information from Congress, but received a pardon from President George H.W. Bush. Lawrence Walsh, the independent counsel who investigated Iran-Contra, prepared multiple felony counts against Abrams, who eventually admitted that he knew more than he acknowledged in congressional testimony. Several years later, he was publicly sanctioned by the District of Columbia Bar for giving false testimony to Congress about Iran-Contra.
    .> in the 1980s, Abrams regularly covered up atrocities committed by U.S.-backed military forces in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. He did the same for the Contras in Nicaragua, and, as a result, was heavily criticized by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. The Lawyers Committee, Americas Watch, and Helsinki Watch collaborated on a report in the mid-1980s that charged Abrams with “undermining the purpose of the human rights bureau in the State Department.”
