Klaus Barbie: The Nazi who ruled Bolivia

Klaus Barbie: The Nazi who ruled Bolivia.

Excerpt:…1970: After the Banzer coup, Barbie is made an honorary colonel. He now works for the notorious Department 7, a CIA-funded counterinsurgency program. Barbie relays info to the CIA about Peru, Chile, and suspected Soviet and Cuban agents. His key contribution is adapting the Bolivian military for internal repression. Barbie even creates a system of Bolivian concentration camps for political prisoners. As if he isn’t busy enough, he’s still deep into the torture game. Barbie’s best skill is keeping the victim alive until he’s finished with him. The Banzer regime goes after Catholic priests, who are harassed, interrogated, tortured and killed. American missionaries are also fair game. Beyond his govt salaries, Barbie is making enormous profits from arms sales to the Bolivian military. It’s all paid for by the CIA. Klaus Barbie, one of the most wanted men in the world, is prolific to say the least. He lectures widely on the new fascism in Thule halls adorned with Nazi flags. The war criminal travels freely, visiting the US at least 7 times. He even went to France, where he’s most wanted!
