CIA Operations in Nicaragua and Allegations of Global Destabilization

We've set out to overthrow functioning constitutional democracies in over twenty countries.

We manipulated elections in dozens of countries.

We created standing armies and directed them to fight.

We went after to organize ethnic minorities to encourage them to revolt. The first thing we did in Nicaragua was to go to the Mosquito Indians, who had never gotten along with the other people in Nicaragua very well, and give them more money than they had seen in the entirety of history, and arms and

training and rationales and sanctuaries in Honduras, and sent them into Nicaragua to attack, kill, fight, rape, burn, pillage. And this has been a technique the CI has used in Nicaragua, in Thailand, in Vietnam, in Laos, in the Congo,

in, in Iran, Iraq with the Kurds, in different parts of the world.

We created, trained, and funded death squads like the Treasury Police in El Sal- El Salvador, and we've assassinated world leaders, including the United States president in nineteen sixty-three, and I'll get to that in more detail in just a moment.

You can never be sure how many people are killed in the jungles of, of Laos or the hills of Nicaragua, but adding them up as best we can, we come up with a figure of six million people killed, minimum figure. It has to be more than that.

These things are all done in countries of the Third World, where the governments don't have the power to force the United States to stop destabilizing the country and brutalizing their people.
