“Cesar and Chamorro quickly joined forces with his remaining army at the behest of the CIA. Pastor's claim of a CIA plot becomes even more believable when one considers who the agency selected to replace him. Chamorro, his arch enemy, who ha…”

Congressional testimony confirmed. Chamorro gave the subcommittee a list of flights made by the C-47 to ferry arms into El Salvador and to Costa Rica. That was in a Senate subcommittee report. It went on to say between October 18th of 1984 …

Fernandez confirmed to Congress in 1987 that the CIA decided to diminish Pastora's influence and raise up the statue of Chamorro. What we needed to do was put Pastora aside and at the same time enhance the organization that we were supporti…

Independent counsel Lawrence Walsh, in his memoirs of the Iran-Contra scandal, wrote that Chamorro was picked because he had been acceptable to the Contra leader, Calero, and responsive to CIA. The agency's choice demonstrates how contrived…

had far more links to drug traffickers than Pastora's accusations ever did. And those ties can be traced all the way back to the beginning of the Contra War. The leadership of the FARN had been dealing directly with the Frogman case in 1983…

was just as erratic and unstable a military commander as they accused Pastora of being, perhaps even more so, and far less effective in recruiting volunteers. Most of Chamorro's band were Cuban mercenaries, i.e. from Florida's CIA group, an…

I don't know about that. These people were trained by the CIA to do exactly that. So I'm not sure how much effort was put into that because that's what they did. They called the Brigade 2506, like Felix Rodriguez, and they all jumped on boa…

According to Fernandez, Chamorro and his men couldn't be driven into battle with a cattle prod. They certainly had to get their act together and their guts in place to say no more Costa Rican sanctuary. Let's go fight the Sandinistas, Ferna…

that I know of has never been in Nicaragua as part of the Contra effort. CIA informant Rob Owen confirmed that. The Costa Ricans wanted the people. They were up near Costa Rican-Nicaraguan border. They were in several camps. They wanted the…

Fernandez went on to say this was no joke. He called our outside line. The lawmakers were apparently so amused by Fernando's story that none of them thought to ask why the CIA continued to train and finance these clowns. But Chamorro and co…
