"Any entity wielding unchallengeable power is bound to be corrupted by it eventually"
Julius Caesar
In early twenty first century, America was the pride of the world. Technology, medicine, education, innovation, standard of living, you name it America was years ahead from the rest of the world. Known as worlds oldest democracy, US was a standard that every nation wanted to achieve. But now the image of US has completely reversed. Once known as symbol of democracy, US is now seen as an agent of oppression and tyranny. Once it was heralded for its advanced technologies but now it's just recognised for its deadly weapons of mass destruction. From being a centre of admiration for rest of the world, America has now become something that most of the world hates and is disgusted by. What happened to the America the land of brave and free ?
This is what is happening to America, It has fell victim to an evil cabal which is systematically destroying it for fulfilment of their own insidious agenda. To know the disease we have got to understand its root cause. In 1773, an evil individual who was an initiate of an ancient cult decided to modernise this cult, which was essentially based on ancient protocols of Zion. This evil individual was Mayer Amschel Von Rothschild, the founder of the Rothschild banking empire. And the person he recruited for this modernisation of his ancient cult was a Jesuit professor of Canon Law named Adam Wieshaupt. Adam Wieshaupt was a catholic converted Jesuit. Wieshaupt was infamous within the Jesuit community for his authoritarian and radical ideologies. And on May 1,1776 Adam Wieshaupt completed the task that was bestowed upon him by Mayer Amschel Rothschild. The ancient secret cult that followed the protocols of Zion was reborn as the Illuminati. Word illuminati means the enlightened ones and is derived from the fallen angel Lucifer. The ultimate goal of this ancient cult was to achieve global domination over the humanity by creating a one world government with one global currency.
Right from the time of its creation in ancient Babylon, it was decided that only individuals belonging to the original 13 ancient Babylonian bloodlines could be initiated into this secret society called Illuminati.
And with passage of time these ancient Babylonian bloodlines eventually became some of the most rich and influential families of Europe. Most of the present European royal families are the descendants of these bloodlines.
But the most influential families that came out of these ancient bloodlines were the Rothschild (originally known as Bauer), Rockefellers, Morgans, Warburgs, Disney and House of Windsor. All these families along with most European royal families had been the devoted members of this ancient cult for thousands of years. With their plan formulated, the Illuminati decided to expand its influence outside Europe, in the new world of America.
America had just achieved independence and was fast emerging as an destination for anyone who dreamed of a better life. It was an age of transition in America. Industries were rising up everywhere. With rising number of European migrants newer and bigger cities were being planned. And contrary to the early reservations of founders of America, vast uninhabited stretches of land acted as a big motivator for European investors as it opened the path for several other possibilities like farming, extraction of natural resources like gold, oil and coal etc.
So just like millions of poor Europeans who dreamt of a better life, most of these Illuminati families were also headed, for the new world. And with their vast resources and wealth, they quickly established themselves as some of the earliest American Industrialists and banking barons. But their main reason behind migrating to America was that they wanted to spread the Illuminati's web of control on America, when it was still developing as a sovereign nation. To put it in context, the illuminati wanted to hammer their mark on iron while it was still hot. The cancer of illuminati had now started to spread in the new world.
These members of Illuminati gradually started to spread their influence over the American government. Dispite their numerous failed attempts to gain ultimate authority over US and its citizens, they continued their plans for enslaving America. And sadly in year 1913, with the assistance of then US President Woodrow Wilsom they accomplished their objective wit the formation of Federal Reserve. Prior 1913, only the Government of United States had authority to issue currency notes i.e.US$, but with the passing of Federal Reserve bill by US congress, the sole right to issuance of currency was given to the Federal Reserve. Contrary to its name the Federal Reserve was a completely privately owned institute. It was collectively owned by the banking giants Rockefellers and Rothschild. With their debt creation oriented federal reserve system, these Corporators quickly became the most powerful people in America. With the economic pulse of America in their hands, they became the ultimate decision making authority in US. Not even the congress and niether the President had any influence on these Corporate rulers of America.
Late Honourable President John Frank Kennedy was the last true president of United States of America who truly wanted to free Americans from the shackles of debt created by federal reserve. And he lost his life in that pursuit when he was assassinated in Dallas 1963. Some years later even his brother Bobby Kennedy was assassinated during his presidential campaign by these sadistic people, because they knew that Bobby Kennedy like his brother also wanted the destruction of federal reserve. So they took him out before he became the president. These people are not going to willingly give up the control they have over US government and they will go to any extent to safeguard it.
Once they gained ultimate authority in America, the Illuminati started using the US Government, US armed forces and US Agencies in any way that they deemed fit. And their first and foremost goal was the maximisation of the profit for their international Corporations. Whenever some country or some foreign authority refused to comply to the conditions of these Corporations, they were attacked personally, socially, economically and militarily. Throughout the period between 1945-Present day, America has invaded dozens of foreign countries, covertly destabilised more than 50 foreign governments, assassinated more than 100 foreign leaders and even murdered millions of innocent civilians just for the appeasement of their Corporate overlords.
It is shocking truth that none of the wars fought by USA were ever fought for reasons that were cited to the public. All of these wars were fought as per the requirement of the elitists. And this includes the both World Wars. In most cases false flag operations were carried out in other to create a false pretext for going to war. Despite freedom of information act many of such involvements of the United States of America are still classified, so its impossible to determine how many countries were attacked by America openly or covertly at the behest of International Corporations. We can only be sure about those operations which have been declassified by the Central intelligence Agency and US Military Intelligence Department.
The Central Intellegence Agency has become the ultimate weapon of oppression and tyranny for these globalist cunts. They have utilised CIA to create public unrest, to destabilise foreign governments, orchestrated coup d'état by arming anti government groups, to assassinate foreign leaders who refused to comply to the needs of these corporations, to start civil wars and to committ crimes against humanity like genocide and ethnic cleansing. According to the declassified details, CIA has carried out anti foreign government covert operation on more than 50 occasions. CIA was responsible for more than 50 government overthrows and regime changes in more than two dozen countries which subsequently lead to civil wars and dictatorial abuses that resulted in deaths of millions of innocent civilians.

IRAN (1951)
In 1951 people of Iran democratically chose the leadership of Mohammed Mossadegh. Before Mossadegh, Iran was ruled by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Pahlavi Monarchy in Iran began in 1925. Shah's family was not from the royal bloodline of original Persian monarchs. Shah was nothing more than a pawn of western nations like America and British who was placed as a ruler in Tehran to facilitate the looting of Iranian vast Oil reserves. The British Petroleum Corporation was looting all the oil reserves in Iran without paying a single buck to the Iranians. And the impact of this was that Iranian people were living in constant poverty and the whole infrastructure of Iran both economically and socially was worsening with each day. Under intense public outcry Shah was forced to vacate his thrown and general elections were held in 1951. Mohammed Mossadegh's party emerged as the victorious political party in this election.
This victory of Mohammed Mossadegh came as a big shock to the western conspirators of US and Britain. Mohammed Mossadegh was a honest, progressive and especially far thinking leader. His first and foremost ambition was to develope the social and economic infrastructure of Iran. He was very critical of the western policy of maintaining absolute control over the Iranian oil industry. So as soon as he came to power, he ended all previous contracts with British Petroleum Corporation and refused all their attempts of renegotiation for regaining control over Iranian oil. Mossadegh wanted to nationalise the vast oil industry of Iran so that the revenues from it could be utilised to develope the life of Iranian people. He wanted to use the profits from oil trade to build a self sustainable, modern and an independent Iran. This was completely opposite to what the western thugs had desired to do in Iran.
So to handle the issue of Mohammed Mossadegh, Britain and much more importantly US instigated a thorough propaganda campaign in US and International media to paint Mohammed Mossadegh and his government as a brutal communist regime which was being controlled by Soviet Union. Further plans for creating civil unrest and riots were made and to achieve them grandson of Late US President F.D.Roosevrlt, Kermit Roosevelt was sent to Iran. US intellegence agency CIA along with Kermit Roosevelt successfully created an atmosphere of great unrest in Iran.
US agents in Iran orchestrated several artificial civilian riots in opposition of Mossadegh regime. And finally by buying of the military leadership of Iranian Army, Mohammed Mossadegh's government was overthrown by a militaristic coup d'état. Western puppet Shah was again reinstalled as the ruling authority in Iran and Mohammed Mossadegh was exiled from the country.
And as soon as Shah came back to power, he overruled all the previous decisions made by Mossadegh in terms of nationalisation of Iranian Oil industry. The western corporations like BP were again reinstalled as the absolute authority regarding to the affairs of Iranian oil industry. Once again US and Britain were sucking the life out of Iran by stealing all its oil virtually at free of cost. America further sponsored the modernisation and training of Iranian Army and several other Iranian intellegence agencies. US encouraged the Shah to formulate a secret intellegence organisation that would deal with the dissented population and assure that there won't be another rebellion like the one that overthrew Shah the last time. And thus infamous SAVAK was established. CIA trained SAVAK operatives in all kinds of covert activities, in weaponry and most shockingly in the most brutal and unhumane interrogation and torture techniques. Later on in 1976, The Amnesty International stated that "SAVAK had the worst human right abuses record in the history, even worse than infamous Gestapo. The interrogation and torture techniques that were taught to SAVAK operatives by CIA were simply unbelievably cruel and shocking".

Throughout the reign of Shah in Iran, SAVAK allegedly murdered more than half a million civilians who challenged the unethical and unhumane regime of the Shah. SAVAK operatives publicly carried out mass executions by firing squads. Thousands of people were brutally tortured to their deaths. Human rights abuse committed by SAVAK included rape of young girls and women, torture and murder of thousands of dissented teenage students, mass executions and unjustified incarceration of millions of Iranians in SAVAK concentration camps throughout Iran. Western nations like US and Britain who heralded themselves as protectors of humanity turned a blind eye towards these heinous crimes against humanity. And furthermore they didn't only allowed these crimes to be committed but they rather participated in them. Western agencies like CIA and MI6 regularly participated along with SAVAK in wiping out any form of opposition directed towards Shah's tyrannical regime.These actions of American and British governments and corporations are what sowed the seeds of hostility and hatred in minds of Iranians.
By 1977 public outcry and opposition against the Shah's regime had reached its tipping point. Suffering under the Western sponsored tyranny, Iranian turned towards the guidance and teachings of Islamic spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini. United under the Ayatollah's guidance, a revolution started in mosques and streets of Tehran. And soon the whole country was engulfed in a violent revolutions against the self serving western sponsored regime of the Shah. And in 1979 the people of Iran successfully overthrew the regime of the Shah.
Being a coward he was Shah secretly fled from Iran to escape the wrath of people he had oppressed for decades. After Shah's escape, only people left behind were his henchmen. Iranians attacked the SAVAK HQ in Tehran and executed all the operatives who had committed most heinous crimes against the people of Iran.
Soon general election were held in Iran and a democratically chosen government was formed. Iranians kicked all the western corporations from their country. And the vision of Mohammed Mossadegh was realised in the end. The US manipulation and intervention in the affairs of Iran led to the deaths of more than half million Iranians and stalled the developement of Iranians for 40 years. And the only reason behind these actions of US were the threat that Iranians were posing to the profit making policies of US and British Corporations.
GUATEMALA (1952)
In early 1951 Guatemala was suffering with majority of its population living in poverty ridden conditions. Like numerous other underdeveloped nations all over the world, Guatemala was also suffering from corruption, poverty, disproportionate wealth distribution and widespread illiteracy. Wealth distributions among Guatemalans was so disproportionate that 2% of the population owned the 70% of the commercial and farming land in Guatemala. For generations Guatemalans had primarily been farmers and cultivators. Hence a lot of foreign corporations in business of food production and fruit import export, were operating in Guatemala. One such corporation was the America's United Fruits Company owned by the Rockefeller family. United Fruits Corporation enjoyed such a powerful monopoly in Guatemala that it owned about 42% of all land in Guatemala.
United Fruits Corporation initially started up in Guatemala primarily as an purchaser and exporter of fruits produced by local small farmers. Guatemalans initially welcomed such corporations thinking that corporations like United Fruit Corporation will expand the market for their goods and will also aid in creating jobs for the locals. And initially all this turned out to be true but soon the real motives of foreign corporations became evident. These corporations deliberately crashed the prices of all local food products and started to exploit local farmers by buying their products at unbelievably lowered prices.
Because of this policy of the corporations, soon most of the farmers were in debt. And then on commitments of clearing all their debts and providing them with jobs, Corporations purchased their lands. Soon from being producers of food in their own farms, these small scale farmers were reduced to mere bonded labourers working on the land which was once owned by them. And gradually the United Food Corporation purchased the 42% of the commercial land in Guatemala.
And the people who were most affected by these policies of the United Fruit Corporation were the rural small scale farmers, who lost their land and ability to earn a living because of these corporations. Majority of these Guatemalans who were practically ruined by the foreign corporation belonged to the rural communities of Mayan Indians. As they were the ones affected most adversely by the foreign corporations, so it was befitting that it was them who voiced their dissent for the regime that allowed these foreign corporations to loot their own civilians. Soon these protests against the regime and corporations became a national phenomena in Guatemala. And in 1951, Jacobo Arbenz was elected as the new leader of Guatemala.
Jacobo Arbenz was a highly educated, honest and progressive leader. His main concern was the widespread poverty and exploitation of his countrymen at hands of foreign corporations. His main economic policy was based on Franklin.D.Roosevelt's land allocation initiative. Arbenz formulated a plan to allot small farmlands to the landless peasants so that they can again become self reliant and break free from the shackles of greedy foreign corporations. He further introduced huge subsidies on agricultural and farming equipment to assist the struggling peasants. He didn't change any policy specific to the foreign corporations cause he also value their contribution to the progress of Guatemala. But the land allocation policy of Jacobo Arbenz was considered a clear challenge to their monopoly by the Corporations. So US government again formulated a plan at the behest of their corporate overlords.
They devised a plan of attack identical to what they had used against Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran a year earlier. A smearing propaganda campaign was instigated by Washington, to paint Jacobo Arbenz as a communist and to create a false perception of him being a Soviet confidant. Fake revolutions were started by the American agents in Guatemala. Civilian riots were also orchestrated by the CIA to give a false perception to Guatemalans that legitimate protests against Jacobo Arbenz were taking place.
Despite numerous proposals of CIA, Arbenz continued with his policy of land allotment and also refused to step down. Then CIA collaborated with corrupt military leadership of Guatemala and started a violent takeover of the capital. When American mercenaries reached the doors of his residence, Jacobo Arbenz decided to take his own life rather than allowing the foreign criminals to savour satisfaction of killing him. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
Guatemala lost a exceptionally honest,ethical and a truly patriotic son that day.
Soon after, a military dictator was placed by Americans to rule Guatemala. And the first thing this military dictatorship did was massacre of more than 300,000 Mayan Indians living in rural Guatemala. People were taken out of their houses and gathered outside the villages. They were forced to dig up their own graves and then they were executed by shootings, machetes and knives. Young women and girls were repeatedly raped before they were murdered. Infants were held from their legs and smashed into walls. Womb's of dead pregnant woman were sliced open and the unborn children were snatched out and smashed into trees.
The murdrers didn't even wanted to leave a single Mayan child living. These were some of the most heinous crimes against humanity ever committed and documented.
Military dictatorship that committed all these crimes stayed in power up untill 1996's. And it a real disgrace for United Nations and International War Crimes Tribunal that not even a single person was ever indicted for these crimes. And above all the person who ordered all these genocides, is still a member of parliament in Guatemala and still roams free without any remorse for his actions at all. United Fruit Company owns more than 60% of Guatemalan land today. With its main opponents and dissenters eradicated, The United Fruit Company continues to exploit Guatemalan people to this very day.
GREECE (1954)
In the aftermath of the First World War, Greece attempted further expansion into Asia minor, a region with a large Greek population at the time, but was defeated in the Greco-Turkish war of 1919-1922, which resulted in massive population exchange between the two countries under the Treaty of Laussane. According to various sources, several hundred thousand Pontic Greeks died during this period, in what has sometimes been referred to as the Pontic Greek genocide.
Following the catastrophic events in Asia Minor, the monarchy was abolished via referendum in 1924 and the Second Hellenic Republic was declared. Premier Georgios Kondilis took power in 1935 and effectively abolished the republic by bringing back the monarchy via another referendum in 1935. A coup d'état followed in 1936 and installed Ioannis Metaxas as the head of a dictatorial regime known as the 4th of August Regime. Although a dictatorship, Greece remained on good terms with Britain and was not allied with the Axis. In 1940, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini demanded the merger of Greece with Italy.
Greeks refused and in the ensuing Greco-Itallian war they repelled Italian forces back into Albania. But a quick German assault on Greece won Hitler the region of Greece. But Sherman troops continously faces tough resistance by the Greeks up untill the allies liberated Greece.

In the post world war 2 era, Greek experienced a violent political war between Communists and Anti-Communist parties. Tired of foreign exploitation in the past, Greeks opted for a more radical form of governance, under the guidance of left wing political leaders Greeks formed what can only be termed as an anarchist form of Government. Greeks quickly started to progress socially and economically under the radical anarchist government. Greeks were tired of bring manipulated and exploited by the Americans and the Britishers in the past, so they demanded the removal of all American and British forces from military bases in Greece. They even forced several US corporations to leave Greece. This was taken as quite a insult by the US and British leaders.
So in an attempt to destroy the current anarchist form of governance, American agency CIA started to covertly funding the fascist group of Ioannis Metaxas. American government allegedly supplied the fascist group of Mataxas with weapons worth more than $200 million. With logistical and covert assistance of CIA, Ioannis Metaxas seized control of Greece. Like all dictatorial regimes of the past, Metaxas quickly started to quell the protests of civilians by massacring thousands of people in Greece. And for the next thirty years Greece was drowned in a most blood filled and terbulent period in its history. When all this human right abuse was taking place in Greece, American and British corporations continously exploited the corrupt dictatorial regime and sucked Greece dry of all its resources. American government also accomplished its objective of gaining permanent allowance for their military base in Greece when Greece joined NATO in 1980.
During the period of roughly 30 years while the fascists ruled Greece, more than a million Greeks were massacred in clashes between protestors and a government forces. Along with million deaths, Greek economy also suffered greatly due to the improper and illegitimate interventions of America. Greece had not been able to escape the shadow of US Corporations untill this very day. And the current economic crisis in Greece is the result of their exploitations at the hands on US corporations.
KOREAN WAR(1948-1953)
At the end of Second World War, allies had merged victorious. US had single handedly won the pacific war against the formidable Japanese Empire. Region of Korea was being contested by both communist nations China and Soviet Union on one side and by US on the other side. After winning a hard fought battle against Japan, US was not ready to let the whole region go under communist regime. So an accord was reached by Communists and Americans. Without any consultations with the Korean, the allies unilaterally decided in favour of the division of the Korean Peninsula. This was clearly contradicted the decisions made at the Cairo conference. According to the Cairo conference, Koreans were to be presented a referendum to decide whether they desired partition or not. But both US and Soviet Union deliberately kept Koreans out of their discussions.
Finally it was decided that the Korean Peninsula was to be divided into two parts with Northern region under communist regime and the South Korean region under a democratic government. Reunification negotiations continued up untill 1948, but every attempt of negotiating a reunification was thwarted by US. And tensions began to rise between the north and south.
Unsatisfied and feeling cheated by the division the North Korean Communist regime leader Kim Il Sung was determined to reunite Korean Peninsula with force, and for this objective communist forces of North Korea invaded South Korea in early 1950 with logistic and material support from both China and Soviet Union. Soon US also entered the war by passing a UN Security Council resolution.
United States of America and other UN member nations sent a force of 380,000 troops to aid North Korea in reclaiming their occupied land. With the intervention of US on behalf of South Korea and by China on behalf of North Korea, battle entered a stalemate and the border at the 38th parallel was again recognised a the international border between North and South Korea. And as a mutual agreement between South Korea and North Korea a 4 km of demilitarised zone was setup up between the both nations to eradicate possibility of daily skirmishes and raids happening in areas adjoining the border.
Eventually by the end of all hostilities between US and North Korea in 1953, nearly 2.5 million lives had been lost in the conflict that was largely made worse by both US and Chinese intervention. And nearly 1.5 million of total casualties were incurred by North Korea. Even though the human rights abuse record of both Korean counterparts were not that impressive to look at, but its a fact that worst of the human rights abuses were committed by the US Military and Intellegence personnel. They continously and deliberately attacked innocent civilian villagers in the remote regions of a Korean Peninsula, to create a wave of fear and sadness through out the region. Reason for this was that US government didn't ever desired to arrange a reconciliation between both Korean nations.
All US desired was to attack North Korea and its communist ideologies. US would rather allow the destruction of both by Korean nations rather than letting then join up as a bigger communist nation. And this self serving policies of US in Korean War is what destroyed whatever remote possibility there was of reaching a mutual peace accord between North and South Korea. US military personnel and CIA orchestrated mock South Korean raids into North Korean Territories to end any possibility of reconciliation between two sides. US intellegence agencies specifically targeted innocent civilian villagers belonging to both North and South Korea and then blamed it on the opposite party. This created a hostile environment between the two nations, which continues to even this very day.Secondly USA constantly acted as provocateur by arming the South Korean government with bigger and better weapons. Knowing it well enough that this action of theirs will be considered by North Korea along with Russia and China as a action that could lead to severe consequences, US continued to arm South Korean army which posed a direct threat to South Korea.
And this is the main reason that both countries have never been able to look eye to eye regarding their disputes. Total number of North Korean casualties were astronomically higher than the casualties suffered by the South Korean and US/UN forces. Total number of North Korean casualties was estimated anywhere between 1 to 2.5 millions in comparison to nearly 950,000.
Experts claim the reason for this disproportionate loss of life on North Korea's side was due to unimaginable number of war crimes committed by US and South Korean forces. This is also a proved fact that US troops indiscriminately attacked the civilian areas along with military structures. Hundreds of villages were completely wiped out along with every man, woman,child and animal inhabitants of those villages. During night raids carried out by US forces, villagers were dragged out of their houses and lined up in the streets and then were brutally murdered by South Korean and American soldiers. Several Chemical weapons especially Napalm bombs were extensively utilised throughout the war campaigns which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Korea became a testing ground of Napalm for America, which was later employed in Vietnam war.
Ever since 1949, numerous US army bases were developed in South Korea in a disguise of providing security to the southern democratic state. But this continous presence had also enabled US to manipulate and forge the situation between two Korean adversaries, according to their liking to continue this six decade long animosity between two nations that were once one. And this animosity has claimed more than 3 million lives over the last 60 years.
NICARAGUA (1927-1989)
Nicaragua has experienced several military dictatorships, the longest being the hereditary dictatorship of the Somoza family, who ruled for 43 years during the 20th century. The Somoza family came to power as part of a US-engineered pact in 1927 that stipulated the formation of the Guardia Nacional, or the National Guard, to replace the US marines that had long reigned in the country. Somoza slowly eliminated officers in the National Guard who might have stood in his way, and then deposed then President Sacasa and became president on January 1, 1937, in a rigged election.
Nicaragua declared war on Germany on December 8, 1941, during World War II.mNo soldiers were sent to the war, but Somoza did seize the occasion to confiscate properties held by German-Nicaraguans. In 1945 Nicaragua was among the first countries to ratify the United Nations Charter.On September 21, 1956, Somoza was shot by Rigoberto Lopez Perez, a 27-year-old liberal Nicaraguan poet. Luid Somoza Debayle, the eldest son of the late dictator, was appointed President by the congress and officially took charge of the country. He is remembered by some for being moderate, but was in power only for a few years and then died of a heart attack. His successor as president was Renew Schick Guiterrez whom most Nicaraguans viewed "as nothing more than a puppet of the Somoza family and US government.
The Somoza family was among a few families or groups of influential firms which reaped most of the benefits of the country's growth from the 1950s to the 1970s. When Anastasio Somoza Debayle was deposed by the Sandinistas in 1979, the family's worth was estimated to be between US$ 500 million and US$ 1.5 billion.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPgmhqzarYWzk-tkhUKxNQJfv_Ae2K4oTz9TBASzVSE4rXwsoBiZy9XuCrBeckGkDIGWbSzerd405-Lckkx7G81fHbiPMwxSsVKXqz6XlJV_obyYbijs0dE2iGNG-WLvOFLPtPNloxYpJ/s1600/31713-Nicaragua-Earthquakes-December-1972--Managua--Swath-of-destroyed.jpg)
The earthquake that ravaged Nicaraguya in 1972 destroyed nearly 90% of Managua, creating major losses. Instead of helping to rebuild Managua with his vast wealth which he had accumulated by looting resources of people of Nicaragua, Somoza siphoned off relief money.
The mishandling of relief money also prompted Pittsburgh Pirate star player Roberto Clemente to personally fly to Managua on 31 December 1972, but he died en route in an airplane accident. Even the economic elite were reluctant to support Somoza, as he had acquired monopolies in industries that were key to rebuilding the nation.
After the 1972 earthquake and Somoza's apparent corruption, the ranks of the Sandinistas were flooded with young disaffected Nicaraguans who no longer had anything to lose. In December 1974, a group of FSLN, in an attempt to kidnap U.S. Ambassador Tuner Shelton, held some Managuan partygoers hostage (after killing the host, former Agriculture Minister Jose Maria Castillo), until the Somozan government met their demands for a large ransom and free transport to Cuba. Somoza granted this, then subsequently sent his National Guard out into the countryside to look for the perpetrators of the kidnapping, described by opponents of the kidnapping as 'terrorists'.
Around this time, Chilean president Salvador Allende was assassinated in a Central Intelligence Agency backed military coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power, leading several hundred Chilean refugees to join the Sandinista army in Nicaragua.
On January 10, 1978, Pedro Joaquin Chamorro the editor of the national newspaper La Prensa and ardent opponent of Somoza and supporter of Sandinistas, was assassinated. It was own to all that who committed this crime, The Somoza family and their supporters.
Sandinistas brought a new wave of nationalism in Nicaragua. The Sandinistas were heavily supported by the people because ever since the Somozas seized control of power in Nicaragua, the people of Nicaragua were forced to live extreme poverty and starvation. The Nicaraguans kept on getting poorer as the Somozas kept on getting richer by looting the resources that were meant to be utilised for the developement of the nation and its people. Illiteracy was at all time high along with the widespread drug abuse throughout Nicaragua. Rural communities were being ravaged by epidemics because of poor health care infrastructure. Sandinistas wanted to eradicate all these economic and social vices prevalent in Nicaragua.
The Sandinistas took power in July 1979. Fearing repercussions Somoza family cowardly fled the country and eventually ended up in Paraguay, where he was assassinated in September 1980, allegedly by members of the Argentinian Revolutionary Workers Party.
After coming to power 1979, Sandinistas started to work on developement of social and economical sectors in Nicaragua. Sandinista's proposed a widespread plan of developement of education infrastructure throughout Nicaragua to tackle the issue of dropping literacy rates in the country. Second issue they wanted to tackle was the absence of proper healthcare infrastructure in rural areas of Nicaragua. They proposed a systematic plan of building health care clinics throughout the nations along with provisions for creating a constant supply of clean drinking water and adequate food for all.
The Sandinistas were committed to the nationalisation of the major indigenous industries to create a new Nicaragua that is self-reliant, self-sustainable and progressive. Another reason behind the nationalisation policy of Sandinistas was to stop the systematic exploitation of the natural and created resources of Nicaragua by the foreign Corporation. The Somoza family during its five decade long rule in Nicaragua had joined up with the US corporation to collectively exploit the resources which belonged to the people of Nicaragua and should have been utilised for their developement. Foreign Corporation and the Somoza family continued to reap benefits of Nicaragua while its people kept on getting poorer and poorer.
Sandinistas also wanted to rid Nicaragua of the drug related activities. Several of the CIA sponsored drug lords were producing massive amounts of cocaine in the remote regions of Nicaragua. These drug lords were trafficking their product North to America via El Salvador and Honduras. In return CIA was arming the rebel groups in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Belize. The Sandinistas recognised the drug abuse as a major vice in the Nicaraguan society, so they aimed to rid the country of these elements.
This kind of nationalist and unilateral approach of Sandinistas troubled US governments greatly. US leadership feared that if Sandinistas were allowed to implement these radical changes in Nicaragua, then this ideology might spread throughout the Latin America. US and its Corporations were exploiting most of the South American nations by placing their puppet governments in position of power. US president Ronald Raegan wanted to continue its vampiric policies in the South American countries and the constant oppressing policies of US in these countries.
In response to the coming to power of the Sandinistas, various rebel groups collectively known as the Contras were formed by CIA to oppose the new government. The Reagan administration authorized the CIA to help the Contra rebels with funding, armaments and training. The Contras operated out of camps in the neighboring countries of Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. They engaged in a systematic campaign of terror amongst the rural Nicaraguan population in order to disrupt the social reform projects of the Sandinistas.
Several Historians have criticized the contra campaign and the Reagan Administration's support for it, citing the brutality and numerous human rights violations of the contras. LaRamee and Polakoff, for example, describe the destruction of health centers, schools and cooperatives at the hands of the rebels. Others have contended that large scale murder, rape and torture also occurred in Contra dominated areas. The contras also carried out a campaign of economic sabotage and disrupted shipping by planting underwater mines in Nicaragua's Port of Corinto. The corrupt leaders of US also sought to place economic pressure on the Sandinistas, and the Reagan administration imposed a full trade embargo.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLXUQxwMBcgUxL8LXG-yyzOaSRBIpiuj98vjlV_mPrjnBvULYl4HcpC-YSc0q2Md3kuwspzMDVekuEH7tIMncIk1BHiRWiYQ_dlBudtKHyc91XxuEGgyYenhfFXcNmziflOToTRWdll27E/s1600/contras-2.gif)
Despite all attempts of CIA and the Contras to destabilise the Sandinista's government, the Sandinistas won the Nicaraguan general elections of 1984, which were judged to have been free and fair by the UN regulators. Quite obviously The Reagan administration criticized the elections as a "sham" based on the charge that Arturo Cruz, the candidate nominated by the Coordinadora Democrática Nicaragüense, comprising three rightwing political parties, did not participate in the elections. Arthropod Cruz was the right wing leader whome US wanted to place at the position of power. This comment of Ronald Raegan backfired on him when heinous details about the atrocities committed by US armed Contras were published in US media. This created a huge outcry against Ronald Raegan and the CIA. Reacting to this huge public outcry, United States Congress prohibited the federal funding of Contras in Nicaragua. But hellbent on the destruction of Sandinistas, Raegan found other method of funding Contras which few years later blew up in Raegan's face.

This was the time when the Iranian revolution was at its peak. Revolutionaries had stormed the US Embassy in Tehran and were holding 52 American diplomats hostage. After proclaiming that we don't negotiate with terrorist during his presidential campaign, but the moment he was sworn president Ronald Raegan rushed to Algeria with his tail between his legs to negotiate the release of the hostages. Algiers Accord was signed by both parties ending the 444 day long ordeal for the hostages. The terms of the accord were not completely disclosed. In the accord Raegan had promised the sale of high-tech US made weaponry to Iran. This served a dual purpose for Raegan. First he complied to the accord by selling high-tech weapons to Iran and then later he used the profits earned by the sale to provide funding for the Contras in Nicaragua.
The funding provided by Ronald Raegan to the Contras in Nicaragua enabled the Contras to establish several CIA assisted training camps in Honduras and Costarica, employ more rebels in their ranks, obtain large amounts of weaponry, purchase their own transportation equipment and create several bases in the remote regions of Nicaragua. And with all these resources they unleashed a storm of unimaginable brutality and agony upon the innocent civilians of Nicaragua. Although US agencies try to reduce their culpability by saying that Contras murdered about 7000 innocent Nicaraguans. But the international NGO's and Human Right Activists cite the number of casualties caused by Contras at a staggering number of 300,000 people. Second thing that Contras targeted was the health and medical care centres, so that their victims don't receive any medical treatment. They also targeted the schools constructed by Sandinistas to destroy their attempts of spreading education to each and very part of Nicaragua.

Edgar Chamorro, a former Contra and member of the FDN's political directorate who later became a critic of the Contras, stated that during his time with the Contras, he frequently received reports about atrocities committed by Contra troops against civilians and against Sandinista prisoners. A Sandinista militiaman interviewed by The Guardian stated that Contra rebels committed these atrocities against Sandinista prisoners after a battle at a Sandinista rural outpost: "Rosa had her breasts cut off. Then they cut into her chest and took out her heart. The men had their arms broken, their testicles cut off. They were killed by slitting their throats and pulling the tongue out through the slit."

The despicable actions of CIA and Raegan administration of funding terrorist groups like Contras caused the horrifying deaths of more than 300,000 Nicaraguan civilians and nearly 15000 Sandinista members. Yet even after these numbers getting public, none of the criminals involved in this disgusting act weren't ever even imprisoned.
The attitude of US government towards these attrocities committed with their help can be recognised by George.H.Bush's pardoning of 7 of the 12 individuals indicted for these crimes. And remaining 5 of the accused were granted immunity. So none of the people who conspired the genocide of more than 300,000 innocent Nicaraguans, spent even a single minute in the prison.
