War Racketeering in the South Western Hemisphere

YouTube Preview Image

On this first day of the New Year, I was motivated to do something I don’t normally, and that is contacting federal ‘representatives’. A website linked on my Facebook feed made it as easy as customizing a form letter to address three congressman and the latinamerica_soapresident. The letter called for the immediate closing of the US Department of Defense’s School of the Americas, also known as WHINSEC, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. WHINSEC is a training facility in Fort Benning, Georgia where primarily Latin American militants loyal to US foreign policy demands are instructed in tactics of controlling and killing. You don’t often (or ever) hear the four politicians who received my message discussing the collateral damage and crimes attributed to graduates of the school, which made it the most fitting way to frame a new year, while talking heads babble on about fiscal cliffs. For more on legislative and other actions to take against the School of the Americas, check out soawatch.org.

    The organized crime syndicate “Zetas” operating in Mexico and every major city in the US started off as Guatemalan spec ops soldiers trained at The School of the Americas. You, the law abiding taxpayer paid for the training of these cold blooded killers. 60,000+ dead in Mexico alone. SEND THE LETTER, PLEASE.
