Guatemala: campesinos targeted in "state of siege"

Submitted by WW4 Report on Sun, 02/06/2011 - 03:55. Campesinos leaders report a wave of abuses against local indigenous peasants in the Guatemalan department of Alta Verapaz since a "state of siege" was declared there in response to the alleged presence of Los Zetas narco-network. Officially, authorities have arrested 22 "traffickers," and confiscated five small planes, 28 vehicles and 239 assault weapons. But the National Indigenous and Campesino Coordinator (CONIC) says army troops have invaded and occupied peasant villages where there has been no sign of drug trafficking.

The most egregious case was in the Q'eqchi Maya community of Se' Job' Che' on Jan. 10, when soldiers seized the pueblo, manhandled residents and menaced them at gunpoint, fired in the air, and uprooted their legal food crops of corn, beans and cardamom. (Intercontinental Cry, Jan. 31; AlJazeera, Jan. 20; CONIC, Jan. 16)

1. Judi: I didn't know this. The father of the guy Obama sent to Egypt

was the one who managed the overthrow of Arbenz.

Small world.

In 1947 Wisner established Operation Mockingbird, a program to influence the domestic and foreign media. In 1952, he became head of the Directorate of Plans, with Richard Helms as his chief of operations. This office had control of 75% of the CIA budget. In this position, he was instrumental in supporting pro-American forces that toppled Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran and Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán in Guatemala <8> following the Alfhem affair.

2. Geez, the two of them have made the world such a better place. What a heritage.

Both of them busy as bees meddling in the lives of countless men, women, children. No wonder the elder Wisner shot himself. Karma caught up with him.

Can't believe the current President would let someone goad him into hiring the son. What were they thinking?


Found this info. on the elder while looking for a photo:

1948: UNITED STATES. Nazi shyster cum CIA Director Allen Dulles creates a covert action and Nazi importation divison of the CIA with the harmless sounding name of the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). Dulles puts his crony, Frank Wisner, attorney of record to various eastern European fascists, in charge of the OPC. Aside from getting as many senior Nazi war criminals and mass murderers as possible into U.S. government agencies, Wisner's mandate is to carry out "propaganda, economic warfare, preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the 'free' world." Translation into English: terrorism.

Wisner's son will one day head the multi-billion dollar energy and stock market scam known Enron.

Thanks for the information. Would have known nothing about these two, and the strange employment by Obama of the younger without having seen your post.
