Usrael in africa and latin america

The interlinks and the deeply  hidden connections behind the accepted  smoke screen of US Israel relations can be a bit of surprise.  The scenes being played out  over the appointment of a new American Defence Secretary  are just that , a smoke screen that hides the reality of the relationships between the two countries. It is not just a  simple case of Israel needing US  protection  and bribing/blackmailing it;s politicians.

This article give us a peep into the Great Game being replayed around the world  and Israel's role in whats happening in Africa these days.  

On Jan. 28, 2013, the New York Times ran a piece by Elisabeth Malkin called “Ex-Dictator Is Ordered to Trial in Guatemalan War Crimes Case.” It began as such:

A Guatemalan judge on Monday ordered Efraín Rios Montt, the former dictator, and his intelligence chief to stand trial on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in connection with the massacres of villagers in remote highlands three decades ago. The ruling clears the way for a public trial for Mr. Rios Montt, a former general who ruled Guatemala for 17 months in 1982 and 1983 during the bloodiest period of the country’s long-running civil war. It is a stunning decision for Guatemala, where the military still wields significant power behind the scenes and the country’s elected governments have struggled to build democratic institutions.

Malkin went on to quote folks saying stuff like, “The principle function of the state and its officials is to protect its citizens” and even explain how a “United Nations truth commission determined that the military had carried out ‘acts of genocide,’ including in the Mayan-Ixil villages during the war, in which 200,000 people died.”

Nowhere in the article, of course, does Malkin mention why “the country’s elected governments have struggled to build democratic institutions” and/or the role played by the U.S. government and the corporations that fund it.

This should come as no surprise because this is how corporate propaganda works.

To follow is but one example of how the U.S. military-industrial complex works.

It was at a February 1945 conference that State Department Political Advisor Laurence Duggan called for "An Economic Charter of the Americas," complaining that "Latin Americans are convinced that the first beneficiaries of the development of a country's resources should be the people of that country."

From this patently unacceptable premise, the seeds of a 1954 coup were sown, and the U.S.-sponsored results include possibly irreversible environmental devastation and upwards of 200,000 civilians killed or "disappeared."

The Central Intelligence Agency put Operation Success into action. Here’s how Howard Zinn described what followed: "A legally elected government was overthrown by an invasion force of mercenaries trained by the CIA at military bases in Honduras and Nicaragua and supported by four American fighter planes flown by American pilots.”

Operation Success ushered in 40 years of repression, more than 200,000 deaths, and what historian William Blum calls "indisputably one of the most inhumane chapters of the 20th century." These chapters, incidentally, could never have been written without permission from the United States and its surrogates, e.g. Israel.

"The Israelis may be seen as American proxies in Honduras and Guatemala," stated Israeli journalist, Yoav Karni in Yediot Ahronot. Also, Ha'aretz correspondent Gidon Samet has explained that the most important features of the U.S.-Israeli strategic cooperation in the 1980s were not in the Middle East, but with Central America.

"The United States needs Israel in Africa and Latin America, among other reasons, because of the government's difficulties in obtaining congressional authorization for its ambitious aid programs and naturally, for military actions," Samet wrote on Nov. 6, 1983, adding that America has "long been interested in using Israel as a pipeline for military and other aid" to Central America. Earlier that same year, Yosef Priel reported in Davar that Latin America "has become the leading market for Israeli arms exports."
