‘School of Assassins’: Protests Demand Closure of Notorious Training Camp
“Despite a shocking human rights abuse record, the School of the Americas continues to operate with US taxpayer money. Closing the SOA would send a strong human rights message to Latin America and the world,” said SOA Watch founder Father Roy Bourgeois.
Ahead of the actions on Friday, SOA Watch national organizer Hendrik Voss told local media, “We have to take an honest look at the violence the United States is exporting all over the world. If we don’t do that, nothing is goi…ng to change.”
“We say we are standing in solidarity with people of Latin America,” Voss told the Columbus Ledger-Inquirer on Saturday. “When those people are forced from their home country because of SOA violence, they are being mistreated. We extend our solidarity with them.”
The weekend of action expanded its focus to include Stewart Immigrant Detention Center about nine years ago. “We have to address the root causes of migration, which to a major part lie in the deplorable economic and military policies, which the United States has imposed on Latin America,” Borgeois said.
For many activists, SOA has become a notorious symbol of U.S.-backed human rights abuses in Latin America. The taxpayer-funded school now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation educated several dictators from the region, as well as their military officials, and included torture, extortion, and execution in its curriculum. Yet as SOA Watch points out, despite evidence of human rights abuses connected to the school’s graduates, “no independent investigation into the facility has ever taken place.”

SOA WATCH UNDER FBI SURVEILLANCE FOR TEN YEARS
“A Freedom of Information Act request has revealed that School of the Americas Watch, a nonviolent human rights organization founded by a Maryknoll priest, was investigated and infiltrated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for at least a decade.
The 429 pages of documents — which were obtained by Washington D.C.-based lawyer Mara Verheyden-Hilliard — also show SOA Watch was under surveillance by a consortium of law enforcement agencies that included the FBI’s counter-terrorism division…” (Article Synopsis)
2014 marked the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. Far from being a “war to end all wars” or a “victory for democracy”, this was a military disaster and a human catastrophe.
We believe it is important to remember that this was a war that was driven by big powers’ competition for influence around the globe, and caused a degree of suffering all too clear in the statistical record of 16 million people dead and 20 million wounded.

Energy Revolution Is Possible… And It Would Only Take 782 Rich People To Pay For It The figures do reveal “a gross injustice” when it comes to global inequality that should serve as “a shocking and stark reminder that the finance for an energy transformation is certainly available.”
However, the report points out: “The political will to drive the transformation is, on the other hand, shockingly absent,” as evidenced by “weak pledges of emission reductions” issued ahead of COP21 climate change negotiations scheduled to begin later this month.
“This report is a wake up call for policy makers and governments,” said FOEI program coordinator Sam Cossar-Gilbert. “Our world faces two destructive and entwined crises—growing inequality and climate change. The time has come to address them together.” Article synopsis
