An absolutely shocking report by Allan Nairn about U.S involvement with the death squads that operated in Latin America during the 1980's under the Reagan administration.

As most of the population in Latin American countries were for the liberation the right-wing knew they were in a minority. Knowing their mercenary armies were greatly outnumbered they decided to use the most brutal and and terrifying tactics to frighten the population into submission with shear unbelievable psychopathic barbarity. Women and children were not spared.

Allan Nairn believes we may still be able to get people like Elliot Abrams put on trail for crimes against humanity. They did this in Guatemala where they put many people behind bars, but the Trump administration is now trying to get them freed. The U.S. backs drug smugglers, the Mafia, terrorists, right-wing death squads, dictators, despots, fascists, or anything that is evil. It's where the money is.

In an ongoing effort to topple Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Vice President Mike Pence met with members of the Venezuelan opposition at the White House Tuesday alongside Trump’s new special envoy to Venezuela, Elliott Abrams. Elliott Abrams is a right-wing hawk who was convicted in 1991 for lying to Congress during the Iran-Contra scandal, but he was later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush. Abrams defended Guatemalan dictator General Efraín Ríos Montt as he oversaw a campaign of mass murder and torture of indigenous people in Guatemala in the 1980s. Ríos Montt was later convicted of genocide. Abrams was also linked to the 2002 coup in Venezuela that attempted to topple Hugo Chávez. We look at Abrams’s track record with prize-winning investigative journalist Allan Nairn, who has closely tracked Abrams for over three decades. Nairn is two-time winner of the George Polk Award and a recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award.
