Is it terror, or is it power and who has it? Another example of why
some in the FREE world don't care for our meddling.


The Right-Wing, Central American, and South American 'Democracy'

In 1987, the Free Congress Foundation wrote that they had 'contributed a balanced perspective and essential new information much needed in volatile public discussions over Chile's efforts--in the face of Marxist terrorism and violence to reestablish democratic government...' The FCF says that in 1986, Paul Weyrich, William Kling and other conservatives conducted a seminar on 'political technology' in Santiago for nearly one hundred activists.

"A July 1988 forum in Santiago, Chile, sponsored by Weyrich's International Policy Forum, was one of three trips William Kling made to Chile in 1988. The forum was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) through the Republican Party. The NED was established to give U.S. government funds to groups conducting activities identical to those which were historically funded covertly by the Central Intelligence Agency. A similar forum in Argentina was also NED-funded through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Free Congress materials were distributed there in Spanish."

What is an especially interesting coincidence is that in 1976 an FBI attaché, in Buenos Aires, sent a cable which echoes the FCF's wording. The FBI attaché, Robert Scherrer, summarized intelligence data provided by information sources regarding Operation Condor, a South American five-nation collective intelligence effort which was designed to "eliminate Marxist terrorist activities in the area." Operation Condor, a joint "anti-leftist" project, was a five-nation intelligence databank which facilitated the tracking, monitoring, abduction, torture and murder of citizens in the nations: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
