Re: [CTRL] Ambassador Walker?
-Caveat Lector- I haven't seen it but a British director made a film about William Walker entitled simply "Walker" that came out during the Sandanista govt. in Nicaragua in the 80's. Directors last name is Cox I think, and one of the stars is Joe Strummer, of the punk/lefty rock band The Clash.

[CTRL] Ambassador Walker?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/5/0,5716,34875+1,00.html filibustering originally, in U.S. history, the attempt to take over countries at peace with the United States via privately financed military expeditions, a practice that reached its peak during the 1850s. In U.S. legislative usage, the term refers to obstructive delaying tactics (see filibuster). Spurred by land hunger and by the desire of proslavery Southerners to add future slave states to the Union, filibusterers were active during the decade prior to the American Civil War. Starting in 1849, Narcisco López led three unsuccessful expeditions against Cuba. He convinced many prominent Southerners that the island was ripe for revolt against Spain. In his last attempt (1851), López landed in Havana with a contingent of Southern volunteers. The expected popular uprising against Spain failed to materialize, and López, along with about 50 Southerners, was executed by Spanish military authorities. The high point of American filibustering was reached under William Walker, a Californian who first tried to take Mexican Baja (Lower) California and then turned his attention to Nicaragua. In 1855 Walker took advantage of a civil war in Nicaragua to take control of the country and set himself up as dictator. In May 1856 President Franklin Pierce recognized the Walker regime. So there was a connection between this Walker, apparently, and the ancestors of Barbara Pierce Bush. http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/5/0,5716,57085+5,00.html In 1826 Nicaragua became a state within the United Provinces of Central America, but it left the federation in 1838. The British seized the small Caribbean port of San Juan del Norte in 1848 and held it until 1860. During the 1850s, Cornelius Vanderbilt's steamship company transported prospectors bound for the California gold fields from the Atlantic to the Pacific by steamship on the San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua. William Walker, a filibuster from Tennessee, managed to establish himself as president of Nicaragua in 1856. He was routed a year later, however, by the efforts of the five Central American republics and Vanderbilt's steamship company. For about a century after the nation reached independence in 1838, Nicaragua's politics were dominated by the competition for power between the Liberals, who were centred in the city of León, and the Conservatives, who were centred in that of Granada. These two sides shifted the capital back and forth between their respective cities until a compromise was reached in 1857 under which Managua, which lay equidistant between the rival cities, was made the capital. Conservatives headed the government for most of the second half of the 19th century, but in 1893 the Liberals gained the presidency and proceeded to persecute the Conservatives just as the latter had previously persecuted them. The Liberals held power until 1909, at which time pressure from the United States led to the installation of a Conservative government. To back up its support of the new government, the United States sent a small detachment of marines into the country. The withdrawal of the marine detachment in 1925 was followed by the eruption of a new civil war between the Liberals and the Conservatives, and in response the United States sent several thousand marines in to suppress a Liberal-led insurrection in 1927. Two successive U.S.-supervised elections resulted in the election of Liberal presidents in 1928 and 1932, respectively. The marines withdrew from Nicaragua in 1933 after having carefully trained the Nicaraguan National Guard to keep order in the country. In 1934 the head of the National Guard, Anastasio Somoza García, instigated the assassination of the preeminent remaining Liberal rebel leader, César Augusto Sandino, and in 1936 Somoza ran for the presidency without opposition. Somoza ruled Nicaragua with an iron hand for 20 years, and, though considerable economic development took place during that time, the benefits were inequitably distributed in favour of the Somoza family and its supporters. Somoza was assassinated in 1956 and was succeeded by one of his sons, Luis Somoza Debayle, who ruled until his own death in 1967. He was succeeded by his brother, Anastasio Somoza Debayle. Meanwhile, a guerrilla movement opposed to the rule of the Somozas and known as Sandinistas (after César Augusto Sandino) had been founded in 1962. An earthquake devastated Managua in 1972, killing 6,000 people and leaving another 300,000 homeless. Opposition to the Somoza regime intensified after the government diverted international aid from the earthquake's victims to enrich the Somoza family instead. The Sandinistas then joined forces with liberal and middle-class opponents of the government, and a widespread popular insurrection overwhelmed the National Guard and overthrew Somoza in 1979. The Sandinista-dominated government expropriated the vast property holdings of the Somoza

Re: [CTRL] Ambassador Walker?
-Caveat Lector- That's why I tend to believe we can't beat them at their own game. The only way to defeat them is to take away their secrecy. It's the only protection they have. If we can understand HOW they operate, and who they use to do their dirty work, then everything is much clearer. But we have to see the overall picture first, and I think that's what is becoming more apparent the more we dig into the roots of the drug trade. It truly is the octopus.
