is no doubt that Condor's ruthless operations against political opposition advanced the security agenda of the U.S. national security establishment in its war against communism and revolution in Latin America.” (Mcsherry, 41) The effects on Paraguay were noted in what was deemed as “The Archives of Terror” which were seized documents of suppressive and torturous acts committed by the military government against citizens, a recurring theme from Operation Condor. Discussed in the papers were the connections
Economically speaking, Argentina was at the verge of collapse despite its initial strong stability seen at the beginning of Videla’s regime. Argentina adapted a neo-liberal economic system; in addition their initial policies of liberating trade and eliminating price controls were just some policies that would create huge economic problems for Argentina at the time. In order to make up for liberating domestic trade and eliminating price controls control had to be implemented to ensure that the regime
Dear Students of the United States, I am not writing to you as a politician, nor as a mere politically- minded person, rather I am speaking to you as a husband and a father. In the middle of the Dirty war, 1978, my wife Agustina was taken from our home while in labor. Up to that point, it was the most devastating moment of my life. That was until I heard what had happened while she was retained there. She had given birth to her baby, and was murdered. Later the day of the execution, her name arose
A mother’s love is one of the strongest passions in the world. This love can drive a mother to do drastic deeds to save her children and her family. The mothers and the grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo truly exemplify the power of a mother’s love. Their love was shown during the Dirty War in Argentina in 1976. During this time, the awful military dictatorship run by Jorge Rafael Videla made people disappear to make others scared of speaking out (Goldman 1). The mothers and grandmothers of
Genocide in Argentina and in Chile The military attacks on the people of Chile began in September 1973, and the disappeared would become thousands of citizens who were murdered or kidnapped during the 16 year reign of the Pinochet ideology ending with president Aylwin. From 1973 to 1983, thousands of people would disappear overnight never to be seen again into the 500 concentration camps where they would be tortured and murdered in Argentina. The people of Argentina crimes were to speak out against
Between the years of 1976 to 1983, the period known as the ‘Dirty War’ was in full force in Argentina. During this period, thousands of people mysteriously went missing, and are referred to now as the ‘Disappeared’. It is believed that many of the disappeared were taken by agents of the Argentine government, and perhaps tortured and killed before their bodies were disposed of in unmarked graves or rural areas. Whenever the female captives were pregnant, their children were stolen away right after
Guernica by the Condor Legion of the Nazi Germany’s Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. They grew to become one of the strongest in the world when World War II started in Europe. The Luftwaffe's Condor Legion that was sent by Hitler experimented with new doctrine and aircraft during the Spanish Civil War. It helped the Falange under Francisco Franco to defeat the Republican forces. One of the operations was the bombing
The Greek word for gymno is “naked” or “bare”, and the word for gyps means “vulture”. The California condor is a bare-headed vulture. The California condor’s species name is G. californianus. The name californianus comes from where the Condor lives, California. But the word condor is derived from the Ecuadorian Quechua word cuntur. The California condor has black feathers with a triangle of white on each wing. The adults have a bald head and on their neck they have a fluffy black ridge of feathers
California condor form extinction. With only three males remaining in the wild and 22 others left in captivity, an aggressive approach was necessary to save these majestic birds. Standing at nearly 5 feet tall, weighing up to 31 lbs and with a wingspan of up to 10 feet, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is one of the largest flying birds in Northern America. Surpassed only in weight and wingspan by the Trumpeter (Cygnus buccinator ) and Mute (Cygnus olor ) Swan. The California condor has an
such means (Wertenbaker 1967). During the Spanish Civil War Franco's army was often assisted by Germany. The Nazi General Goering's policy was to use the Spanish Civil War as an arena for trying out the airmen and planes of his new Luftwaffe . The Condor Legion was headed by Wolfram Von Richthofen, the cousin of the near mythical Red Baron of the First World War.

California condor, the largest flying bird in North America area, is now defined as endangered species. The term endangered species refer to species threatened with extinction by changes in its environment. The condor as scavengers, no matter how dangerous they may sound, are the essential member of our ecosystem (Verner, 1978). However, the population of the California condors decreased tremendously during the late 1970s, with only 22 reported alive worldwide in the year 1982-1983
about the internal operations of our minds perceived and reflected on by ourselves, is that which supplies our understanding with all the materials of thinking" (Cahn, 497). By our ‘observation being employed about external sensible objects’, Locke is speaking of what he terms sensation, which is the senses conveying into mind perceptions of things outside of our minds and thereby causing ideas arise in the mind. By our observation being employed about the internal operations of our own minds, Locke
Anyone who's run a network operations group knows the frustration that accompanies management inquiries about “our network strategy.” To be successful, a strategic network plan must define the services the network will offer the line operations of the business. Network, in computer science, techniques, physical connections, and computer programs used to link two or more computers. Network users are able to share files, printers, and other resources; send electronic messages; and run programs on other

OFFENSIVE AT ST. MIHIEL The St. Mihiel Offensive began on September 12, 1918. It was the first operation of World War I performed and commanded solely by an American Army. The whole idea of the operation was to reduce the size of the German salient, a part of their battle line that jutted out towards allied territories. Though delayed at first by other occurring battles, the operation began on August 10, 1918 when the American First Army headquarters was set up. August 30, 1918, the First Army, under
giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they
I have written this science research paper to help people understand more about the electric motors and their operation. The electric motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy, which in turn makes motion possible. To better understand electric motors, one should first understand the basics of electric motors operation, electromagnetics. One can create an electromagnet by running an electric current through a wire which in turn will create a magnetic field. An electromagnet may
OPERATION LINEBACKER II 1. What do you think of when you drive by that big B-52 at the museum? Being the history buff that I am, I think about Vietnam, where that old “Buff” was used the most. “Why should I care about Vietnam?” you ask yourself. Well, last time I checked there’s a history section in the PFE guide, so there might be a test later! The intent of this paper is to inform you about Operation Linebacker II. I’ll explain the events leading up to the operation, discuss the strategy, and
Pricing The Lakeside Casino Resort deals a lot with selling items as well as experiences. Every aspect of running the casino as well as all the other operations that keep the casino running has to be priced right and reasonable, from playing the casino games to ordering the food for the Wheelhouse Buffet. Casino Floor: Every game on the casino floor has to be purchased from a dealer. A blackjack table alone costs between $1,500 to $4,000 dollars, and on the floor there are 8 tables. Other games
Addendum to Independent Study in Sound Design and Sound System Component Operation This past year (2000) I have been working in the sound booth for The John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts. Here at the John Lyman Center (JLC) we have been going through a time of transition. The former resident technical guru who had taken care of JLC's happenings had retired, leaving the JLC in a semi chaotic state. The dance school season was just about to start which happens to be our busiest time of
