John Stockwell's hostile appearance before Congress: https://www.patreon.com/posts/massive-programs-71338458
John Stockwell is a former CIA officer who worked for the agency from 1964 to 1976. During his tenure, he was involved in covert operations in Africa and served as the Chief of the Angola Task Force. However, he became disillusioned with the CIA's policies and resigned in 1976. After leaving the CIA, Stockwell became an author, lecturer, and human rights activist, and he frequently spoke out against the agency's practices.
The Panama invasion, also known as Operation Just Cause, was a military operation carried out by the United States in December 1989. The operation aimed to remove Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from power, who was accused of drug trafficking and human rights abuses. The operation involved over 27,000 U.S. troops, and it resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Panamanian civilians and military personnel.
In the video, Stockwell draws upon his experience in the CIA to provide an analysis of the Panama invasion. He provides insight into the CIA's involvement in Panama and their motivations for supporting the invasion. Stockwell's perspective on the invasion may be critical of the U.S. government's actions and provide a different viewpoint from the official narrative.
The CIA had a complex relationship with Manuel Noriega, the former Panamanian dictator. The agency had initially worked with Noriega during the 1970s and 1980s as part of their efforts to support anti-communist forces in Central America. Noriega provided the CIA with information on left-wing groups in the region and helped to disrupt their activities. In exchange, Noriega received financial support and protection from the CIA.
However, by the mid-1980s, Noriega's relationship with the U.S. government had soured. He was accused of drug trafficking and human rights abuses, and the U.S. government began to distance itself from him. Despite this, Noriega still had support within the CIA and some circles of the U.S. government, who saw him as a useful ally in the region.
During the Panama invasion in 1989, the CIA reportedly played a role in coordinating with U.S. military forces and providing intelligence on Noriega's whereabouts. However, the agency's exact involvement remains a subject of debate and controversy. Some critics have accused the CIA of supporting Noriega for too long, and of failing to address his drug trafficking and human rights abuses until it became politically expedient to do so.
