Edmundo González Urrutia: Old Man Dripping Blood… From Others
especiales
I don't know if the rumor that Edmundo González Urrutia, the defeated candidate of the extreme right, is preparing his escape from Venezuela will come true, but it’s true that the few websites that can provide true information about the life, passion and misdeeds of the aforementioned have gone down, totally erased, lost (403 forbidden, an HTTP status code that indicates that we don’t have the necessary approval to be able to access a certain web page for some reason).
Meanwhile, thousands of media of all kinds controlled by the Empire agree in different ways, unbridled, in trying to clean up the record of the old man turned into a puppet of the counterrevolution.
If the escape is true, this would be in Miami, home of the worst of the Latin American scums.
Months before becoming the leading candidate of the far right, González Urrutia had been denounced for his crimes by Cubadebate, Ignacio Ramonet, the fighter Nidia Díaz and honest news organizations, the latter of which were hacked and disappeared from the Internet.
The wave of denials did not take long to come or in defense of the failed standard-bearer of María Corina Machado, the visible leader of the current action to overthrow the Bolivarian Revolution, accompanied by acts of vandalism that caused innocent deaths and destruction of buildings that provide aid to the population.
But the spurious defenders of the old murderer, who tried in detail to show his innocence, did not take into account that the truth was corroborated by declassified files of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which, of course, could not foresee the future role that González Urrutia would play.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
The failed opposition candidate, second in command of the Venezuelan diplomatic mission in El Salvador, was linked, between 1979-1985, to the Condor Plan, a counterinsurgency project promoted by the Republican (former US president) Ronald Reagan against the Salvadoran people.
Reagan's plan was to prevent the advance of the revolutionary forces of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN for its acronym in Spanish ), so González Urrutia, who was then second in command at the diplomatic headquarters, and the then ambassador, Leopoldo Castillo, known as the Priest Killer, played a nefarious role in the persecution of religious people who condemned the repression of the Salvadoran military dictatorship.
In the declassified CIA documents, in February 2009, Castillo was mentioned as co-responsible for the intelligence services that coordinated, financed and gave the order for the execution of Operation Centauro, a plan that consisted of a series of violent actions by the Salvadoran army and death squads to physically eliminate religious communities gathered around the search consistent with Liberation Theology for a peaceful and negotiated solution to war.
During the years the embassy was run by Castillo and González Urrutia, the army and death squads left a balance of 13,194 civilians killed, among them several religious personalities.
Although he was no longer acting as a diplomatic, he was working as an advisor to intelligence structures when the six Jesuit priests and two workers (from the Central American University José Simeón Cañas (UCA)) were murdered on November 16, 1989.
González Urrutia, 74 years old, had already been linked to the CIA during his stay as a diplomat from 1981 to 1983 as first secretary of the Venezuelan embassy, where, 41 years later, he was the standard-bearer of fascism in the electoral attempt of the extreme right against the Bolivarian Government.
