La-CIA-contra-America-Latina-Capitulo-especial-Ecuador

paign about the need to suppress the left in all Latin American countries,even in Ecuador, and this campaign was undertaken through press, politicalparties, political fronts, penetrated organizations, always to maintainthat level of attention, and through, let’s say, through fear and of course,we achieved military officers and the highest military men, and we continuouslyworked with military intelligence, with the intelligence and othersfrom National Police, I think it was, so we were in intimate contactwith, let’s say, the most delicate government sectors.Then the Armed Forces were the ones which gave the stroke?Yes.Were they?The military gave the strike, but there were several provocations thatprepared the ground for the military coup.Your provocations coming from the CIA or external provocations tothe Armed Forces?No, we produced provocations; we created provocations to preparethe ground for an eventual military coup against Arosemena.What kind of provocations? For example, stimulating Arosemena’sincidents and making them grow in the media?I would have to review what I wrote about it, but the book is based onwhat I remembered checking all those newspapers. I read El Comercio(The Commerce), for example, every day during the three years of mystay in the Britain Museum in London, and there was not a day on whichI didn’t find a gold article reviewing that microfilm of El Comercio. Thatmeans that every important thing we did was on the newspapers, butwithout the awareness that we were behind all those events.That is to say, the country didn’t know it, never realized it?86
