After 45 years, Argentina brings those who covered up the dictatorship’s death flights to trial

ER Editor: While we don’t cover much from Latin America, this came across our path today from Twitter and Telegram user, Sabrina Gal, whose accounts we recommend following. She paired the article below, from two weeks ago, with this one on the Rothschilds and Argentina from 2011. Is justice being done globally? See —

Remembering Argentina As Rothschild’s BluePrint For The United States!

The article briefly describes the destruction of the world’s second biggest economy, which rivalled that of the US in the early 20th century, through implementation of extensive social programs and high taxation, where programs were finally costing more than taxpayers put in. Government controlled the economy, and who would be controlling the government …? This led to the state of hyperinflation by 1989, which had reached 3000%. The government printed money to pay off debt; the military put down opponents. The article below sketches the style of repression the military resorted to, noting that investigations are finally taking place into the wrongful murders of political opponents.

Argentina’s decline began under a new political party in 1916; Russia began a decades-long period of destruction from the Rothschild-backed Bolsheviks in 1917. 

The article above concludes:

We’ve seen this movie before. The Democrats’ populist plans can’t possibly work, because government bankrupts everything it touches. History teaches us that ObamaCare and unfunded entitlement programs will be utter, complete disasters.

Today’s Democrats are guilty of more than stupidity; they are enslaving future generations to poverty and misery. And they will be long gone when it all implodes. They will be as cold and dead as Juan Perón when the piper must ultimately be paid.

Who ran (past tense) the Democrat party? See image below. A reminder that the Obamas were apparently frequent visitors to Argentina.

Recall Trump’s visit to Argentina as part of his world capitulation tour (See Nick Alvear’s ‘The Greatest Show on Earth‘) where he rebuffed globalist stooge and then-Argentinian president Mauricio Macri. There are no coincidences.

This could sum up Argentina although the rabbit holes run very deep with this country, none of which we can actually prove at the moment —

Is Argentina finally in good hands?

An added twist. Watch those rabbit holes!

ER: This Guardian article from 2009 shows that bringing these people to justice has been an ongoing effort — Pilot arrested over Argentina ‘death flights

This article brings the investigation up to September 2023 — Ten Argentines to be tried for covering up death flights

After 45 years, Argentina brings those who covered up the dictatorship’s death flights to trial

A judge, a doctor, police officers and officials are accused of having hidden the bodies that arrived on the beaches of Buenos Aires after being thrown from military planes

MAR CENTENERA for EL PAIS

In December 1978, strong south-easterly winds dragged a dozen corpses from the sea to various beaches in Argentina. They were naked and showed signs of having suffered a violent death. But none of these cases led to a judicial investigation; instead, they were secretly transported to nearby cemeteries and buried as “NN” (unidentified persons).

Police, judges, and municipal officials acted in a coordinated manner to prevent it from coming to light that they were victims of the death flights with which the dictatorship disposed of the bodies of people it had kidnapped. Over 45 years later, the Argentine justice system has for the first time brought to trial the alleged perpetrators of this cover-up network.

“The bodies were found scattered along a coastal strip some 150 kilometres long,” says Daniel Iglesias, the author of an investigation that provided the first clues to clarify what happened. Iglesias found more than 20 files concerning bodies returned by the sea between 1977 and 1978 that had been buried without identification. “In none of the cases were police sent to see if a relative could be found, or were the press was called, or anything possible done to identify the body. The judge did nothing, when it was his responsibility,” adds Iglesias from Villa Gesell, one of the towns where victims of the death flights washed up.

The defendants in the case are the investigating judge in the town of Dolores at the time, Carlos Facio; the police doctor Miguel Cabral, who is accused of having concealed the fact that they were victims of violent death in four files; seven former agents of the Buenos Aires police, and municipal officials. After a preliminary hearing last week, the first witnesses will testify Thursday and the rest at the beginning of next year, in a trial that will take place in the city of Mar del Plata.

The plaintiff’s lawyer, Pablo Llonto, highlights the importance of a trial that seeks to shed light on the last stage of the systematic plan of extermination implemented by the dictatorship that ruled Argentina between 1976 and 1983. The courts have convicted over 1,000 people, mostly military personnel, for crimes against humanity committed during that period. The military regime opened hundreds of clandestine detention centres throughout the country, and in Buenos Aires and its surroundings one of the most common methods for getting rid of kidnapped people was to put them on planes and throw them, drugged and tied up, into the Río de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean.

Due to a miscalculation regarding the winds and tides, a handful of these bodies did not end up on the seabed but washed ashore. The courts must now determine the alleged responsibility of the accused in hiding them. “They hid them knowing that they came from the death flights,” Llonto stated.

One of the bodies that remained unidentified for three decades was that of Santiago Villanueva, a member of the Juventud Peronista group, who was kidnapped on July 26, 1978. His eldest son, Guillermo, was 12 years old at the time. “I spent my whole life looking for him and I never thought we would find him,” he says, recalling a disappearance that marked the life of his entire family.

Now 57, Guillermo Villanueva is preparing to testify before a judge for the third time in his life. He still remembers with some disbelief the moment when the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team announced to him that they had identified his father’s remains. The DNA of the remains exhumed from the Villa Gesell cemetery matched that of his uncle Ernesto Villanueva, the brother of the missing man. The forensic anthropologists knew where to dig thanks to a notebook from the cemetery in which they wrote down by hand where each dead person was buried. Santiago Villanueva was listed as “Saladito NN.” “They called the bodies that came from the sea ‘saladitos,’” says Guillermo. (ER: Saladito means salty.)

The identification was made in 2005 and in 2006 the remains were returned to him, which today rest in the Chacarita cemetery, the largest in Buenos Aires. …
