The Passive Protector of Panama 

How The Free Nations Of The Americas Have Been Pushed Left and Armed BY THE USA

Is the first-ever lady protector of the critical Panama Canal a closet communist? As the head of the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), General Laura Richardson said all the right things last week at FIU about resisting Chinese threats in the region. She is the sworn gatekeeper supposedly protecting US interests and slamming the door on the communists. As the critical nation of Panama is on the verge of collapse, the general's own words and associations manifest she has done the opposite. Military crackdowns have followed stolen elections in Chile, Honduras, Colombia, and Brazil, and General Richardson has strengthened and trained those militaries to oppose the will of their citizens. She has not only mined the nine nations in the SOUTHCOM AOR of their Russian military equipment for the Ukraine, but provided brand-new US-made weapons to replace them (in nations that are now China-centric and undemocratic). Above all, General Richardson met with the most notorious communist in the hemisphere, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The Panamanian gate of the Americas has not just been left unguarded, but like the iron floodgates in Trump's border wall, it has been welded open.
This is how the game goes:
  1. Leftist faction "wins" an election in a surprising upset, Biden congratulates the "winner".
  2. US military "trains" the national military to "support police" in maintaining "order" instead of focusing on the defense of that nation & the American continent. (This is ILLEGAL in the USA.)
  3. As the military is purged pf opposition, all their old Soviet weapons (including armor & aircraft) are gathered and sent to the Ukraine.
  4. NEW US-made weapons are sent to that country in "trade", probably avoiding congressional oversight, State Department approval, perhaps even arms embargoes. 
General Richardson is running this whole operation, fabricating entrenched Leftist nations allied to China armed with new US weapons instead of rallying free democracies to stand for themselves and our free hemisphere against China.  
In 2000, then Lt. Colonel Richardson served as a military aide at the White House to rabid environmentalist Vice President Al Gore. In 2023, environmentalism is the ostensible shared goal between the general and the ideologically un-American president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro. Colombia is the only South American nation that borders Panama, making it a critical security and anti-trafficking partner. General Richardson led an April delegation including DHS Secretary Mayorkas and former UN-Ambassador now USAID Director Samantha Power to the isthmus, signing a trilateral agreement between the USA, Colombia, and Panama. In the implementation, the general stated that even though there were “23,500 Colombian military involved, the entire army, navy, and air force”, the effort was directed at traffickers rather than stopping migrants...but was effective curbing illegal mining and logging. 
In Panama, protests and labor strikes are paralyzing the whole nation and are centered around mining and foreign exploitation of mineral resources. These are not small operations run by narco-gangs, but enormous strip mines operating under government concessions found to be unconstitutional. Panamanians are concerned that they no longer live in a democracy—that there is no rule of law and they have lost all voice in the affairs of their nation—that the mines and Chinese commercial interests have become their overlords. The general herself has made clear that Chinese mining interests, port development projects, and commercial installations (some of which border the Panama Canal) are dual-use facilities that can be quickly flipped to serve military purposes. Similar facilities in Argentina and Chile could be used by China to control the Drake Passage and Magellan Strait, cutting off even the much longer and more dangerous routes between the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as access to Antarctica.
General Richardson recently used the same statistic as her Trump-appointed predecessor, that 28 out of 31 nations in the AOR are democracies. Since 2019, the following nations have made a hard pivot left through suspect elections: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and Honduras. Leftist-run Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua are on the verge of collapse. Haiti, a rare Taiwan ally, is already collapsed. Ecuador and Peru, democratic nations that were stable during the Trump years, targeted by migrant hordes and criminal syndicates, are on the edge of collapse also. General Richardson's strategy is to train and equip the armies of the toppled nations to “support” the police to oppress the very voters that were likely defied and defrauded. While Trump was in the White House, President Martin Vizcarra of Peru (who had entered the presidency by divine intervention) boldly stood up at the United nations and suggested a multinational military intervention into Venezuela based on the OAS InterAmerican Letter of 2001. This binding agreement states that a “rupture of democracy” in any member state is a threat to the region and authorizes military force to “restore democracy”. Support at the time was nearly unanimous. In just a few short years and stolen elections later, the meaning of the word “democracy” has reversed completely. Gustavo Petro brought up the letter this April, suggesting it be “remade” around indigenous and women's rights and climate change to unite the hemisphere against the few holdout nations not yet under communist control! 
Women's advancement is such a favored cause of General Richardson that she cannot contain her glee in meeting a lady president like Xiomara Castro de Zelaya of Honduras. This nation is an excellent example of SOUTHCOM overhauling the military of a recently free nation to build an inescapable, socialist police state. Richardson recently made the shocking assertion that China is not the central or “pacing” threat in the Americas, but “transnational criminal organizations are”. Under this pretext, in a very suspicious “election” Castro assumed the presidency and her husband, ex-president and close Hillary Clinton associate Manuel Zelaya, became First Gentleman and Secretary of National Defense. The former president, Juan Orlando Hernandez, was soon arrested and extradited to the USA on drug charges. This much-loved Christian president, a close friend and security ally of Donald Trump, had sent 24 drug kingpins to the USA for prosecution. These same convicted criminals later testified falsely against Hernandez, incarcerating the leader once honored to cut the ribbon at the opening of his country's Israeli embassy—only the fourth nation to move to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. Castro also abandoned Taiwan, switching allegiance to Red China, a demoralizing blow to American values and a key Western ally. Even if the people of Honduras were to rise up against this tyrannical and illegitimate government non-representative of their values, they would have to fight their own police and the military remanufactured to resist them by General Laura Richardson. 
The vice president of a nation would rarely host the head of SOUTHCOM, but General Richardson had to meet the woman who seems to be a heroine to her, the first elected female president of Argentina and one of the first in the West, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK). Also a kindred soul and close friend of Hillary Clinton, CFK was the wife and first lady to President Nestor Kirchner, the son of German “immigrants” and head of Argentina's Peronist (literally Nazi) political movement. Beyond the Hezbollah-linked 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish Center that killed 85 people, CFK has been implicated in crimes too numerous and diverse to summarize, escaping prosecution through loopholes and favors. While Trump ally Macri was president, she avoided prosecution through immunity as a sitting senator in a fraud case that topped a billion dollars. CFK attained the vice presidency in a 2019 election called blatantly fraudulent by Sidney Powell, who named Dominion Voting Machines and the Venezuelan intelligence apparatus as culpable. Again CFK escaped prosecution, this time through using the power of her office to influence the courts. She escaped assassination too, when a young Argentine stuck a pistol in her face and pulled the trigger. Some diabolical twist of fate caused the loaded weapon to malfunction. It was this charmed lady leader that General Richardson simply had to consort with after meeting with Argentina's military leaders at Army Headquarters. In the US congress, General Richardson warned of the Chinese space installation on the Patagonian Plain, PRC properties near the Strait of Magellan, and vastly accelerating Chinese lithium mining interests. In Argentina, she sat with CFK (photo), the very enemy of all American and Western values, planning to strengthen her socialist government and enemy military as if they were US partners. More nations will similarly fall, and vital Panama looks to be the next in line...because General Laura Richardson has been purposefully derelict in her duty to protect it.
