LATIN AMERICA - US 'COUP SCHOOL' - Fort Benning, Georgia

FACTS SCHOOL OF AMERICAS It was founded in Panama in 1946 with the stated objective of promoting stability in the region. However, it soon acquired the nickname, the "School of Coups". Under the terms of the 1984 Panama Canal Treaty, the School of the Americas was forced out of Panama and was relocated to Fort Benning in Georgia. Under pressure from Congress it was officially closed in 2000; however the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation was opened on the same site in 2001. It currently trains about 2,000 soldiers from across Latin America and the Caribbean. Source - aljazeera - here.

There's actually a 'coup school'?

This is a must for the blogger's 'Ways to Control the World' List.

When I'm done, the world is MINE -- all MINE!!!    LOL

Check out the 'torture' subject on the curriculum.  Brilliant!  LOL

Guessing this is where all those fascist Latin American dictators were trained.

I think the US should be commended for their ingenuity.

Talk about evil masterminds.  It's like something out of North Korea.  Only it isn't.  LOL

It's quite remarkable and determined.  Well worth emulating.
