Comment from long-time Latin America watcher, Karen Wald, followed by Allard’s article.
I'm not sure why anyone who has a long memory or did their homework would have expected anything different from Human Rights Watch. The so-called "watch" committees were originally set up to "watch" for the violations of individual civil and political liberties (under the capitalist definitions of those terms) in the Soviet Union and Eastern European socialist countries. They were never designed to monitor REAL human rights .....although every once in awhile they do so to legitimize the rest of their work....
Vivanco, HRW Gangster and Leading Imperial Intelligence Agent
By Jean-Guy Allard
http://www2.minci.gob.ve/noticiaingles.asp?num=1794It would be enough to tell the dubious relationship of José Miguel Vivanco,
Human Rights Watch chief to the Americas, with the fauna of the Washington
Capitol linked to the CIA, the most recalcitrant Venezuelan pitiyankees, or
the Cuban American mafia to prove that his aggressiveness against Venezuela,
Cuba and other American progressive countries is that of a CIA agent.
But there is more in his career making this Chilean joining the ranks of the
empire a real mercenary of the huge intelligence machinery settled in
Langley, Virginia.
The “boss” of the HRW “Americas Watch Division” grew up in a Chile terrified
by Pinochet’s hordes; he went to the Law Faculty of the University of Chile
while the Chilean dictator imposed his fascist Constitution. Then, he went
to the University of Salamanca. These are the typical steps leading a rich
kid to Harvard, where he got a degree.
His fast entry to OEA as legal advisor, and later attorney of the
Secretary’s Office of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, when he
had just finished his studies in the Law Faculty, is even questionable.
This attorney, dedicated t o the defamation of Cuba, Venezuela and the group
of progressive countries of Latin America on behalf of the HRW, has never
thought of explaining how his fast rising at the OAS bureaucracy in
Washington could have been possible without the protection and blessing of
the heads of the organization; neither has he thought of responding with
real proves to accusations linking him to the Augusto Pinochet’s criminal
fascist regime.
These very serious accusations were made in July 2004 by Jose Vicente
Rangel, then Vice-president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, who
revealed how this noisy “human rights defender” had collaborated with the
secret services of Chile under the dictatorship.
The Coup-d’État left them with no words
The attack campaign by Vivanco was subjected to a fully revealing analysis,
published in 2004, by the well-known researcher Al Giordano at the web site
narcosphere, two also a US citizen, multiplied the libels against Chavez’s
Government.
Giordano recalled how in 2002, Vivanco and HRW, after supporting the
conspiracy of the pro-opposition groups closer to the US Embassy, did not
say a word, nor denounce the brief pro-coup government of Pedro Carmona.
However, in 2003, shamelessly, HRW unleashed a fierce campaign against the
Law of Social Responsibility on Radio and Television, along with Reporters
without Borders and other “internationalD organizations with links with the
CIA.
In 2004, he defended the right of the National Endowment for Democracy- an
invention of Reagan to openly do what the CIA concealed – sponsoring Sumate,
whose anti-Chávez fanaticism even led to killing provocations.
In Berlin, side by side with Miami terrorists
If Vivanco’s meddling in Venezuela directly points at the U.S. Department of
State and the CIA, his meddling in Cuba just confirms he is an agent.
In April 2007, Vivanco participated at a conference against Cuba in Berlin
with one of the most dangerous and known element of the Miami terrorist
mafia, sponsored and financed by Washington.
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation, an openly anti-communist organization linked
with the past of anti-Cuban activities, was the cover of this so-called
“international conference.”
The Berlin show was attended by CIA staff dedicated to attack Cuba.
Vivanco had no qualms about sitting next to the veteran CIA agent Frank
Calzón, for-life director of the Cuban Freedom Center, based in Washingon
and now involved in a multimillionaire embezzlement threatening USAID.
Vivanco had no shame at linking his name to the discredited commentator
Carlos Alberto Montaner, who was arrested in Havana in December 1960 with
explosives and recycled by the CIA into an intellectual.
Vivanco presented his lucubrations to known mafia members suc h as the
Director General of Radio y TV Martí Pedro V. Roig, Ramón Colas, former
“commander” Huber Matos, who is linked to drug trafficking, former terrorist
Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat, whose Directorio Democrático Cubano received US $
3 million form the USAID, and Angel Francisco De Fana Serrano, arrested in
California in 1995 with weapons as he was preparing a terrorist attack
against Cuba.
On April 27, 2007, El Diario de Las Américas, mafia newspaper of Miami,
celebrated José Miguel Vivanco among anti-Castro people linked to the Cuban
American mafia, which “supported a declaration of unity” of the
pro-opposition people in Cuba.
Vivanco’s walks in the corridors of the Capitol in Washington have been
countless,, and the most hostile congresspeople against Latin America’s
awakening know at what extent they can count on his mercenary services when
calumniating the left leaders of the continent
In Caracas, Berlin or Washington, Vivanco always knows how to make his
inflammatory statements fit the needs of the masters of his new homeland.
