 card number 28 operation just because just because that's a shadow of a plane flying over bombarded area where is this look at the people there's people dead on the ground operation just because we know this continues to this day just look at WikiLeaks collateral murder video that Chelsea Manning released card number 28 the invasion of Panama this my god this was crazy if you remember this I remember it it was insanity shortly after midnight on December 20th 1989 US forces for the 12 times since 1903 invaded Panama their mission was to depose a longtime CIA asset General Manuel Noriega in in the indicted drug trafficker the 24,000 man invasion force included 4,500 paratroopers making this the largest airborne assault since World War two a local seismograph recorded 90 explosions in the first 10 minutes and 417 within 14 hours superior technology and firepower quickly crushed all resistance defense secretary Richard Cheney called the attack quote the most surgical operation of its size ever carried out and quote and this is piece of shit war criminal Dick Cheney we're talking about right but the official death toll of 500 to 600 badly understated the reality a recently uncovered army memo reads quote payment of individual combat related claims as in Grenada would not be in the best interest of the Department of Defense because of the potentially huge number of such claims and quote another army document states that states that quote about 10 blocks of high density housing of slums were destroyed and quote Panamanian Defense Forces headquarters adjoined this district known as El Chorello and 25,000 people 80% of them black lived there most of them asleep when the invasion began independent human rights groups put the death toll between 3 to 5,000 with another 25,000 homeless to cover up the carnage the army excluded the press and Red Cross from heavily bombarded areas for three days during which time they seized hospitals sealed the morgues and committed onsite incinerations and burials in common graves without notifying the families of the dead Jesus deans deans at 11 such mass graves goes on despite the lack of help from US Army or paramilitary officials this is the invasion of Panama during Bush seniors time in the office right and I was young I was in my what would I be in my early 20s at the time or 20 and I knew my politics that and it was horrendous watching this take place but there were a lot of yahoo's in Canada and the United States that were cheering this on just like they were cheering on the invasion of Afghanistan because they were completely brainwashed thinking that yeah they this was a just invasion and one connection with this is the Panama Canal in 1999 the Panama Canal was supposed to be handed over to the Panamanian people so they could manage it themselves that didn't take place exactly the way it was planned to take place I believe officially it has now but there have been caveats mainly related to the sort of a loophole there saying that the Panamanian military cannot protect the Panama Canal so the United States still has one of its largest military bases in Panama I believe
