PS: cannot believe the introductory post to this thread never went thru; so here’s the TL;DR:

make sure you read today about #OperationCondor
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor

even though it’s official beginning is in 1975, i put it squarely where it belongs: with the bombing of #Chile’s La Moneda and the assassination of Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973:

y’all may not know there was a time #PopeFrancis wanted to be a biologist. it was during his youth years working as an assistant at a laboratory that he met Esther Ballesteros, the woman who he ended up looking up to as mentor.

he looked up to Ballestero not only thru those formative years but later on as a priest & bishop, after she co-founded Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo and she herself was tortured, disappeared and murdered as part of USA’s #OperationCondor
