It is time for the SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS: SCHOOLS OF ASSASSINS, U.S.A. TO BE CLOSED; THOSE INVOLVED "DE-PROGRAMED"; THEY NO LONGER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT and WRONG. BY THIS METHOD OF 'PROGRAMING'.. THE LONG ESTABLISHED LAWS OF CIVILIZED SOCIETIES DESIGNED TO KEEP THE PEACE have been overturned resulting in GLOBAL UNREST as WRONG has become RIGHT and RIGHT HAS BECOME WRONG.'
Our country, for generations, a beacon of liberty and democracy to the world, should play no part in subverting democracy and killing hope in other countries. Americans who condemn world terror should condemn just as strongly America's training of Third World terrorists.
I am not "anti American".. but I am AN AMERICAN WITH OLD FASHIONED PRINCIPLES AS TO "WHAT AMERICA SHOULD BE".. That is why I took my Oath to Uphold, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States, Against all Parties, Foreign and Domestic."
There are those who will tell you THE CONSTITUTION is not for WE, THE PEOPLE. On the contrary! The Purpose and Intent of the contents in those SEVEN ARTICLES OF LAW i.e., CONSTITUTION were designed to protect WE, the People from those acts as set forth in: DECLARATION AND RESOLVES OF THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS October 14, 1774 [Intolerable Acts] 1. http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DecResFirCon/DecResPage1.html , 2. http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DecResFirCon/DecResPage2.html , and 3. http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DecResFirCon/DecResPage3.html
The end result was THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/DocOfAmeriHist/DocOfAmeriHist24.html
Which brought about those SEVEN ARTICLES OF LAW (CONSTITUTION) OF TRADE AND COMMERCE which by CONSTITUTION was forbidden to conduct business as formerly conducted and DECLARED in THE INTOLERABLE ACTS and DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
To insure this from ever happening again, the BILL OF RIGHTS were added by some very concerned representatives of WE the People.
There are some who would like you to believe "THE CONSTITUTION IS AN OLD ANCIENT DOCUMENT WHICH IS FOR "OLDER AMERICANS" IT DOES NOT "PROTECT" THE YOUNG AMERICANS.
HOGWASH! The CONSTITUTION is INHERITED by the OFFSPRING of those who came and went befor us.. WE ARE THE INHERITORS of the GREATEST ESTATE ever left to BENEFICIARIES of any estate. WE the People inherited THE CONSTITUTION "FOR" THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Which set the guidelines and the pattern for SELF GOVERNANCE and "CONSENT" to be represented fairly and squarely, AND NOT TO HAVE OUR COUNTRY SOLD OFF PIECE BY PIECE, OR TO BE SOLD OFF AS LIVESTOCK as in Executive Order 12803.
Title 3. Executive order 12803 of April 30, 1992. 57 FR 19063 / May 4,1992 http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/Exord12803/Exord12803Index.html

Our formerly Military Service Personnel who became Presidents, representatives and JUDGES ON THE BENCH'S OF THE COURTS OF WE THE PEOPLE can no longer distinguish the difference RIGHT or WRONG. These individuals no longer recognize THEIR SWORN DUTY OF OATH OF OFFICE OF PUBLIC TRUST.. which is a very dangerous situation for ALL AMERICANS. [vkd]
LETS NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS "SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS"..(which incidentally is written by an 'ex Ranking-CIA'..)
School of the Americas:
School of Assassins, USA
The School of the Americas
World War II was the "good war". After that conflict, most Americans believed that US intentions in the world were noble -- the US was the punisher of aggression and a warrior for freedom. This image was for generations of Americans the measure by which they judged their country in world affairs. The war in Vietnam ended the illusion that America was always on the "right side". Today, America's image as a defender of democracy and justice has been further eroded by the School of the Americas (SOA), which trains Latin American and Caribbean military officers and soldiers to subvert democracy and kill hope in their own countries.
Founded by the United States in 1946, the SOA was initially located in Panama, but in 1984 it was kicked out under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty and moved to the army base at Fort Benning, Georgia. Then-President of Panama Jorge Illueca called it "the biggest base for de-stabilization in Latin America," and a major Panamanian newspaper dubbed it " The School of Assassins."
Today, SOA instructors and students are recruited from the cream of the Latin American military establishment. The School trains 700-2,000 soldiers a year, and since its inception in 1946, more than 60,000 military personnel have graduated from the SOA.
If the SOA concentrated its training on protecting country borders from foreign aggression or safeguarding citizens from invasion by outside enemies, it would be considered an exemplary institution, worth the cost of American tax dollars and US prestige. But, the SOA has very different goals. Its curriculum includes courses in psychological warfare, counterinsurgency, interrogation techniques, and infantry and commando tactics. Presented with the most sophisticated and up-to-date techniques by the US Army's best instructors, these courses teach military officers and soldiers of Third World countries to subvert the truth, to muzzle union leaders, activist clergy, and journalists, and to make war on their own people. It prepares them to subdue the voices of dissent and to make protesters submit. It instructs them in techniques of marginalizing the poor, the hungry, and the dispossessed. It tells them how to stamp out freedom and terrorize their own citizens. It trains them to destroy the hope of democracy.
The School of the Americas (SOA) has been given other names -- "School for Dictators", "School of Assassins", and "Nursery of Death Squads". And, countries with the worst human rights records send the most soldiers to the School.

When they return to their home countries, graduates of the SOA hold a rather unique and peculiar view of their countrymen. They look upon priests, social workers, journalists, and liberal intellectuals, not as assets to their societies, but as dangerous subversives, working to undermine the system that keeps these soldiers, army officers, and their sponsors in power.
Graduates of the SOA have been among the most repressive tyrants in Latin America, and their actions have been some of the most cruel and violent. In El Salvador, in 1989, a Salvadoran army patrol executed six Jesuit priests as they lay face-down on the ground at Central America University. According to the United Nation's Truth Commission Report on El Salvador in 1993, 19 of the 27 officers who took part in the executions were trained at the SOA.
In 1990, in El Salvador, populist Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated. Three-quarters of the Salvadoran officers implicated in the killing were trained at the SOA. Roberto D'Aubuison, the late leader of El Salvador's Death Squad, was implicated in the plot to assassinate Archbishop Romero. He also participated in numerous murders, including a massacre in the village of El Mazote, where more than 900 men, women, and children were killed. He graduated from SOA as well.
The U.N. Truth Commission's statistics reveal the extent of the School's murderous role in El Salvador .
Romero assassination 3 officers cited --- 2 were SOA graduates
Murder of US nuns 5 officers cited --- 3 were SOA graduates
Union leader murders 3 officers cited --- 3 were SOA graduates
El Junquillo massacre 3 officers cited --- 2 were SOA graduates
El Mazote massacre 12 officers cited --- 10 were SOA graduates
Dutch journalist murders 1 officer cited --- he was an SOA graduate
Las Hojas massacre 6 officers cited --- 3 were SOA graduates
San Sebastian massacre 7 officers cited --- 6 were SOA graduates
Jesuit massacre 26 officers cited --- 19 were SOA graduates
In other Latin American countries, graduates of the SOA have been equally prominent enemies of human rights. Former dictators Omar Torrijos of Panama, Guillermo Rodriguez of Ecuador, and Juan Velasco Alvarado of Peru, all overthrew constitutionally elected governments in their countries. Leopoldo Galtieri, the former head of the Argentina junta defeated in the Falklands War, was responsible for thousands of "disappeared" citizens who supported freedom and democracy in Argentina, and paid the ultimate price with their lives. He was an SOA graduate.
In Honduras, General Humberto Ragalado Hernandez, was trained at the SOA at the same time that he was linked to Columbian drug cartels, and the highest ranking officers in the Honduran Death Squad were trained at SOA as well.
In Peru, the most senior officers convicted of the February 1994 murder of nine university students and a professor, were graduates of the SOA. In Columbia, a 1992 human rights tribunal cited 246 officers for crimes against the people of Columbia. 105 of the officers were trained at the SOA. In Panama, ex-dictator Manuel Noriega, formerly on the CIA payroll, graduated from the SOA. He is now in a US prison, convicted of trafficking in drugs.
In Guatemala, a country of 10 million, the indigenous Mayan population of 6 million have endured the greatest suffering in Latin America. During more than 30 years of civil war, tens-of-thousands have been slaughtered, with the total killed estimated to exceed 200,000. Most of the ranking generals involved in the numerous coups and acts of terror and murder during this period were trained at the SOA.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, in Guatemala, thousands of political activists and opponents of government policies were assassinated. General Manuel Antonio Callejas y Callejas, Chief of Army Intelligence at the time, was cited by the UN as the individual responsible for most of those murders. He graduated from the SOA. One of the most vicious tyrants in recent Guatemalan history is Jose Efrain Rios Montt. General, dictator, and a former president from 1982-83, Rios Montt was proud of his political philosophy of "beans for the obedient; bullets for the rest". He was also a graduate of the SOA.
The impact of SOA graduates on Latin American freedom has been devastating. Armed with sophisticated training, modern weapons, and up-to-date techniques of control and surveillance, graduates of the SOA have terrorized their own countrymen for a generation.
In the name of its citizens and using American taxpayer dollars, the United States, the most-democratic of countries, has for decades been training some of the most anti-democratic leaders in the world. Administrations that have decried terrorism abroad, have encouraged terrorists right here at home -- at the SOA.
Our country, for generations, a beacon of liberty and democracy to the world, should play no part in subverting democracy and killing hope in other countries. Americans who condemn world terror should condemn just as strongly America's training of Third World terrorists. It is time for all of us to demand that the School of the Americas be closed.
What you can do
Call, fax, or write the President, and your Senators and Representative. Ask them to end funding for the SOA and stop training terrorists and murderers in America.
Ask them to support House of Representatives Bill -- HR 2652 -- introduced by Representative Joseph Kennedy (D-MA). This bill would close the School of the Americas and establish in its place an Academy for Democracy and Civil-Military Relations, to identify the proper role of the military in a democratic society and bring about civilian control over military matters in Latin America.
Father Roy Bourgeois founded SOA Watch to inform the American public about " the School of Assassins" and to close it down. But, he cannot do it alone. He needs the support of all Americans who abhor the training of terrorists and murderers in this country. Support SOA Watch and Father Roy Bourgeois at:
