Panama's big drug lord became president, and the United States launched a war to catch him, which is more exaggerated than you think!
Drug lords are the most hellish people in the world, and they base their extravagant lives on the suffering of others and even the destruction of their families.
However, their lives are often bizarre, full of all kinds of bizarre experiences, shocking and thought-provoking, and today's protagonists are the extreme examples of such legendary villains.
He is the biggest drug lord in Panama and has been a life-and-death alliance with famous Colombian drug lords such as Blanco, Escobar, and the Ochoa brothers.
He was also the Panamanian anti-drug officer, the head of intelligence, the commander-in-chief of the Defence Forces, the supreme spiritual leader of the country, and a military strongman who ruled over one side of the land.
Before being overthrown by the U.S. military under the command of Bush Sr., he was a gold-medal foreign spy cultivated and cooperated by the CIA for many years, directly under the command of former CIA Bureau Elder Bush himself.
At the same time, he is also a good friend of the Cuban Fidel Castro, a sworn enemy of the United States, who sells him a lot of classified U.S. information.
When obedient, his drug trafficking, kidnapping, murder and all other crimes in the United States turned a blind eye. When he began expelling the Americans who had forcibly occupied the Panama Canal for the national good, Bush Sr. chose to clean up the portal without mercy.
More importantly, it may be to kill people, because he knows too much. Without him, it is important for individual american powers- In "Call of Duty 9", Activision also recreated the classic scene of Delta Troops capturing him.
If his life is made into a movie, it will be a large-scale spy war that combines courage and cowardice, betrayal and loyalty, kindness and hatred, counterattack and fall, drug trafficking, assassination, political horror suspense war film, and even a little science fiction.
He is the world's only super drug lord who has become the president of the country, the strongest mudslide in the history of human intelligence, the speculative ghost in the cracks of the geopolitical game, the humanoid test pit machine that tears off the hypocritical face of the United States, and the generation of adulterous males nicknamed "Pineapple Face" - Noriega.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > Anti-American! </h1>
Noriega was an intelligence genius, first of all in his date of birth — because even the CIA didn't know his exact year of birth.
Born into a poor family in 1934 or 36 or 38, Noriega was orphaned by the death of his parents at the age of 5 and raised by a godmother. The harsh living conditions made him grow acne from an early age, and the nickname "Pineapple Face" followed him for a lifetime.
From an early age, Noriega saw a way - knowledge changed his destiny, so he desperately tried to get into the best high school in Panama, "National College".
There, he joined youth socialist groups and wrote many articles criticizing the U.S. colonization of Panama.
The year he graduated, he wrote down his life ambitions in the school yearbook: to become a psychologist, to become a President Ma of Panama, and to drive Americans out of the Panama Canal Zone!
Why did Noriega hate Americans since childhood? This must start with the United States swallowing the Panama Canal alone and manipulating the province of Panama from the independence of Colombia.
As early as the Age of Discovery, Magellan proposed to the King of Spain the original idea of building a canal in the narrow strip of Panama during his travels around the world to open up the Pacific ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and facilitate the rapid transportation of the wealth plundered along the Pacific coast back to Spain. However, Spain was exhausted and could not carry it out, and was targeted by the Americans who came after it.
Panama, which became a province of Colombia after breaking away from Spanish colonial rule, spearheaded the canal excavation project, but dug nearly 30 years before digging a third, and the French company that executed the project went bankrupt. The Americans jumped out and said I was going to take over, but Colombia disagreed.
The Americans were furious and turned to stir up relations between the province of Panama and Colombia, encouraging the Panamanian people to pursue the cult of the lord, which eventually led to Panama's declaration of independence in November 1903. Colombia sent troops to suppress the defeat of the American Army and was forced to cede territory.
After Panama's independence, the United States forced Panama to sign a "father-son treaty" and the "U.S.-Pakistan Treaty": the United States guaranteed Panama's independence, and Panama set aside a 10-mile-wide zone as a canal zone for the United States to permanently occupy and exercise sovereignty.
Since then, Panama has become a vassal state of the United States. At the cost of the lives of countless local workers, Chinese workers and black workers, American capitalists built the bloody Panama Canal, which also became essentially an overseas enclave of the United States.
Then U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt arrogantly said, "I got the Panama Canal!" ”
Iron men, is this set of operations in the United States quite familiar? Remember the video that Sister Hua put on at the cotton conference?
Therefore, this "national hatred" is the reason why the young Noriega is determined to expel the Americans.
But Noriega was not a revolutionary youth with a firm faith, his ambitions were clearly marked, and he was an expert in speculation who only recognized money and did not recognize people and did not know what the principle was.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" >2. Spy! spy! </h1>
In high school, Noriega participated in the progressive student movement while being bribed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to become an intelligence informant who specialized in selling information about the student movement. When he was in his mid-20s in 1955, he received his first intelligence commission from the United States— $10.70.
Noriega has a half-brother who works at the Panamanian Embassy in Peru, and with his help, Noriega graduated from high school and went to the military academy in Lima, peru. After graduating from military school, he returned to China and joined the PanamaNian National Guard, threw himself into the door of the big brother of the Panamanian military, Torrijos, became the royal thug of Torrijos, and did a lot of dirty work for the big brother to beat people and arrest people and harm people.
Noriega's ruthless way of doing things was quite appreciated by the eldest brother, and he was sent to the "American School" run by the US military in the Canal Zone to study intelligence and psychology, which was specially trained by the United States to train local pro-Americans. During his studies, Noriega established closer intelligence cooperation with Washington through school leadership, and has been providing information to the United States on the workers' movement in Central America.
Noriega's performance was also appreciated by the big bosses in the United States, and the then US President Lyndon Johnson commented that Noriega, who was 30 years old at the time, was "a valuable asset of the United States" and a rising star of the Panamanian military.
In 1968, Torrijos came to power in a military coup d'état and seized power in Panama. In just one year, Torrijos, whose seat was not yet hot, was also subjected to a military coup launched by the younger generation of soldiers, and Noriega tried to ensure the personal safety of the eldest brother, thwarted the coup, and was promoted to the second in command of Panama by the eldest brother for his apologetics, in charge of intelligence and anti-drug control.
With Noriega's intelligence support and matchmaking, Torrijos signed the Torrijos-Carter Treaty with U.S. President Carter, in which the United States promised to return sovereignty to Panama in the Canal Zone in 1999.
By the 1970s, when the Cold War was at its peak, the United States was more dependent on noriega's intelligence from Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador and other Central American revolutionary countries, and his relationship with U.S. intelligence services was becoming increasingly ironic.
In 1971, the C.I.A. directly added Noriega to the list of full-time employees, enjoying a high annual salary of $200,000, with another $100,000 a year of contingency funds at his disposal. After 1976, Noriega began to report directly to Bush, then director of the CIA and the newly retired director of liaison in Beijing.
Bush Sr. immediately found that Noriega's cat was very greasy, and he actually colluded with the hostile state outside the steak.
Indeed, Noriega was a life-saving speculator who, while providing Cuban intelligence to the United States, sold thousands of Panamanian passports to Fidel Castro for use by Cuban and Soviet agents for $5,000 each.
What bothered Bush the most was that Noriega was still helping Colombian drug lords sell drugs to the United States.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="88" >3. Drug trafficking! </h1>
In the 1970s and 1980s, Colombian drug lords were in the limelight, with the Medellín drug cartel led by Escobar, the "godmother" Blanco and the Ochoa brothers being the most notorious.
Due to the continuous civil war in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala and other Central American countries, several hard stubbles of the Medellín cartel urgently need to find new drug transit places, and Panama, which is well located and peaceful and stable, has become the preferred target. It just so happened that Noriega, the panamanian anti-drug officer, was a man who only recognized money, and the two sides hit it off, and the drug lord got the Panamanian customs seal and hiding place from Noriega.
Once, the sister of the Ochoa brothers was kidnapped while delivering goods in Panama, and it was Noriega who used his wrist to save her. One of Escobar's daughters was also born in Panama, and it was Noriega who gave her a Panamanian hukou. According to Escobar's son, Noriega received $5 million from his father to help establish a drug-producing base in Panama.
But the eldest brother, Torrijos, did not support Noriega's drug trafficking, covered up evidence of drug trafficking for him in Bush Sr., and disciplined him several times. Noriega, resentful, began to see Torrijos as an obstacle to drug trafficking and the next level of progress.
In 1981, Torrijos died in an air crash during an overseas visit, which many say Noriega orchestrated.
After the death of Big Brother, Noriega, the second in command, naturally became the new king of Panama.
Without Big Brother's restrictions, Noriega's cooperation with Colombian drug lords is more free. Panama soon became a haven for drug lords to transit goods and launder money, and Noriega made a huge fortune of $300 million from protection fees, bribes, sharing, etc. Through the European money laundering channel, Noriega also bought a large house in France.
The elder Bush knew very well that Noriega, on his own, had opened a "drug transport highway" to the United States for Colombian drug lords, and as long as Noriega was killed, he could block the main passage of drugs into the United States.
But he turned a blind eye to it, because Noriega was obedient, suggesting that he would raise his intelligence funding if he didn't sell drugs.
In fact, the cooperation between Colombian drug lords such as Noriega and Escobar is not pleasant. Once, when Escobar transited $1.4 million worth of drugs into the United States via Panama, Noriega charged him $1 million in tolls at one time. Noriega and Escobar later fell out.
Noriega started an anti-drug campaign in Panama with his backhand, seizing many Escobar factories, and the two men broke off their friendship.
As George Schultz, the old Secretary of State during the Reagan administration, said, you can never buy Noriega, you can only rent him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="114" >4. War! </h1>
However, Noriega's close relationship with the United States did not last long.
For the 62 years from 1920 to 1982, the United States made more than $45 billion in tolls for ships passing through the Panama Canal alone, while Panama received only $1.1 billion. Noriega looked at the little money he had worked so hard to earn from drug trafficking and intelligence money, and he was more and more upset.
If Noriega was still against the United States, after many years of dictatorship, he began to give bush face on the surface, such as the simple and brutal murder of political opponent Spadafra, such as beating up the demonstrators, such as declaring the election results invalid.
The point is that the whole world knows that Noriega was trained by the Americans. Noriega's actions are exactly the opposite of the Americans' boasting of the lord of the underworld, and the "value assets" that were once "valuable assets" have become "negative assets" of the personal prestige of the United States and Bush Sr.
In 1989, after Bush was elected president, he secretly sent people in the United States to accuse Noriega of drug trafficking and extortion.
Hearing that his head of state had been sued by the Americans at home, Noriega felt insulted. He organized a massive anti-American campaign, with 600 incidents of harassment of U.S. military personnel and their families erupting between February 1988 and May 1989.
Subsequently, Bush Sr. quoted a clause in the U.S.-Pakistan Treaty that gave the U.S. military the colonial privilege of conducting unlimited military exercises in the Canal Zone. U.S. forces in Pakistan then conducted a series of small military exercises to warn Noriega not to die.
Noriega was not frightened at all. First of all, he aspired to become a psychologist since he was a child, and after he became an adult, he wrote a psychological warfare textbook and was an expert in psychological games. Second, having been Panama's fuehrer for many years, his mind has become so arrogant that he is not very normal, and he once told an American journalist that he thought his biographical film should be starred by Eastwood, a Hollywood superstar and representative actor of the Western cowboy film, because he thought he was very strong.
？？？
If you look at the photos of the two, you can see that Noriega was almost crazy before the United States overthrew him.
During a U.S. military exercise, Noriega suddenly appeared with his entourage, and went straight forward to shake hands with the U.S. military police, and said to the camera: I am here, arrest me.
On December 15, 1989, Noriega took the lead in declaring war on the United States, striding up to the podium, brandishing a machete and shouting: "We will sit on both sides of the canal and watch the corpses of the enemy flow to the sea." ”
The next day, the PanamaNian Defense Forces accidentally killed a U.S. Marine, beat up a Marine Officer, and threatened to rape her wife.
The elder Bush couldn't stand it any longer. The Panama Canal contributed 10% of total U.S. trade, and there is no room for error!
On December 20, 1989, when dawn broke in Panama City, 27,000 U.S. soldiers armed to the teeth stormed the tiny country, the largest U.S. military operation since the Vietnam War.
This military invasion, which has nothing to do with justice, has an ironic name — "just cause."
U.S. data shows that 514 Panamanian soldiers and civilians were killed in the invasion, but American figures you know, some local organizations say the real civilian death toll is 3,500.
Noriega has always been the target of the U.S. Delta Special Forces, and after the war began, green berets, SEALs, and Air Force special forces all came to him for tea.
The Delta Forces alone raided 42 locations where Noriega might be hiding, but failed to find him. Eventually, one of Noriega's personal bodyguards revealed his hiding place, the Vatican Embassy.
U.S. troops quickly surrounded the embassy, and in order to prevent reporters from eavesdropping on the embassy with long-barrel microphones, the U.S. military built a noise wall with loudspeakers.
On December 27, the U.S. Fourth Psychological Warfare Operations Team joined the demotion work, which was full of young men in their early 20s, and changed the radio noise to heavy metal rock music for 24 hours a day. Because rock can make people impulsive, and 24 hours of non-stop playback can make Noriega unable to rest.
Hilariously, Noriega later recalled that the room he was living in at the time was soundproof and that he couldn't hear rock and roll, and that the huge rock music that was 24 hours a day drove the embassy staff almost crazy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >5, hegemony! hegemony! </h1>
At 9 p.m. on January 3, 1991, the desperate Noriega walked out of the Vatican Embassy, dressed in a wrinkled 4-star general's uniform, and formally surrendered to the U.S. military.
His only request was for him to wear the general's uniform and attend the surrender ceremony as head of state.
He thought too much, and the Americans had never thought of holding a surrender ceremony. Delta Force and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) escorted him to the C130 transport plane, ordered him to take off his military uniform and change into the gray prison uniform worn by American prisoners when they went out, and gave him a new name, "Prisoner 41586".
The Americans told Noriega in action that in Dad's eyes you were a common criminal. Dad didn't come to fight, he just sent a policeman to teach a lesson to filial piety.
Unlike historical facts, Activision dramatized Noriega's capture process in Call of Duty 9, and the protagonist of the story, Mason, who was operated by the player, personally broke through the door and was captured alive. To this end, in his later years, Noriega also took Activision to court.
Back to the point, Noriega, who was furiously brought back to the United States by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, was immediately tried in Miami. The jury was told they "did not need to consider the political aspects of the case".
That is to say, it does not matter whether the United States has the right to invade Panama, whether it has the right to arrest Noriega, and whether it has the right to try him in the United States, obediently convict him.
In the end, Noriega was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Remember earlier that Noriega bought a big mansion in France for money laundering, after he was released from prison early in 2007, he was extradited to France for another year in prison because of this matter, and finally returned to Panama to serve the rest of his sentence, and died of illness in prison in 2017.
Noriega is undoubtedly guilty, but he is a Panamanian, and his crime should naturally be tried by the Panamanian people. Panama is small but has inviolable sovereignty, and the people of Panama, though poor, are not second-class citizens of the United States.
What about the United Nations General Assembly condemning the United States for violating international law? What about anti-American protests around the world? The United States has delta troops, ospreys and black hawks, and the world's most powerful military forces, and it really just wants to fight whoever it wants, that is, hegemonism that is unreasonable and only fights hard fists.
To put it bluntly, it's a show trial, pure revenge, a warning of a chicken and a monkey, a wolf ambition to control the global order. Subsequently, the US military used the methods used to deal with the Panamanian people in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Libya, Syria...
Corruption and security continue to plague Panama after Noriega stepped down. The Central American country of 3.9 million people has once again become a safe haven for money laundering and drug transit.
