¿Quién privatizó la política exterior de EEUU para derrocar a los “comunistas” en Nicaragua?
Los vínculos entre la CIA, los saudís, Taiwán y Joseph Coors.
Según la Oxford history de los Estados Unidos ocurrió así:
Oliver North, ex marine de la guerra de Vietnam, y su grupo de “cowboys”, organizaron una operación increíblemente compleja para implementar políticas fuera de la burocracia y más allá del escrutinio del congreso.” George C. Hearing lo explica de la siguiente manera:
“They privatized U.S foreign policy. With Reagan’s knowledge and encouragement, NSC [National Security Council] staffers solicited a total of $50 million from friendly governments such as Taiwan, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia, which alone contributed $32 million, and from right-wing U.S citizens such as beer magnate Joseph Coors. In an early 1986 venture that North called a ‘neat idea’ and Casey ‘the ultimate covert operation’ ーand that ultimately proved their undoingー they diverted to the contras funds from arms sold to Iran. North used Project Democracy, an ostensibly private corporation established by Reagan to ‘cultivate the fragile flower of democracy’ across the world, as the instrument of his operation. The ‘Enterprise’ run by retired Air Force Gen. Richard Secord, had its own ships and airplanes and private landing strips throughout Central America, dummy corporations and secret banking accounts, and special highly sophisticated coding devices provided by North from the super-secret National Security Agency. Some of the operatives appear to have repeated handsome profits, and millions of dollars could not be accounted for. A $10 million contribution from the sultan of Brunei was mistakenly deposited in the account of a Geneva businessman.” Herring, From Colony to superpower, p.891
