Video: Who Was Pope Francis Before He Became Pope?
Interview with Michel Chossudovsky
How Father Jorge Maria Bergoglio supported Argentina’s military junta’s “Dirty War” in the 1970s was known and documented prior to his accession to Vatican.
The media was complicit through omission. The Catholic hierarchy including the Vatican conclave of “Cardinal Electors” turned a blind eye. They were fully aware of Bergoglio’s insidious role.
The military government headed by General Jorge Videla acknowledged in a Secret Memo that Father Bergoglio had (without evidence) accused two priests of having established contacts with the guerilleros, and for having disobeyed the orders of the Church hierarchy (Conflictos de obedecencia). The document acknowledges that the “arrest” of the two priests, who were taken to the torture and detention center at the Naval School of Mechanics, ESMA, was based on information transmitted by Father Bergoglio to the military authorities.
María Marta Vásquez, her husband César Lugones (see picture above) and Mónica Candelaria Mignone allegedly “handed over to the death squads” by Jesuit “Provincial” Jorge Mario Bergoglio are among the thousands of “desaparecidos” (disappeared) of Argentina’s “Dirty War”, which was supported covertly by Washington under “Operation Condor”.
The accusations directed against Bergoglio regarding the two kidnapped Jesuit priests and six members of their parish are but the tip of the iceberg. “La punta dell’iceberg”.
While Bergoglio was an important figure in the Catholic Church, he was certainly not alone in supporting the Military Junta.

Avión desde el que rrojaban al Río de la Plata a los detenidos.
Sobre él hemos colgado las fotografías
del Padre Bergoglio --hoy Papa Francisco-- y Videla,
compañeros de viajes aereos, terrestres y marítimos,
para limpiar al país de indeseables y bandidos.
Un ex gendarme, Federico Talavera, dio detalles de cómo fueron los "vuelos de la muerte". Talavera declaró como testigo y dijo haber sido chofer en El Olimpo. Contó en qué condiciones y desde qué bases aéreas eran arrojados los detenidos y aportó nombres de los militares que participaban en los operativos.
"Las personas iban vivas, drogadas, sedadas, iban libres, deliraban, no estaban esposadas, iban vestidos. Se les decía que iban a un campo. Ninguno tenía ya capuchas ni vendas. No les importaba mucho que vieran a las personas que los llevaban."
(Bergoglio y Videla
sólo se limitaban
a empujarlos al vacío,
méritos suficiente
que a Bergoglio
después le valdría
representar en la Tierra
a Jesucristo)
Este escalofriante testimonio lo aportó el ex gendarme Federico Talavera, quien declaró la semana pasada ante el fiscal Federico Delgado en uno de los tantos juicios por los denominados "vuelos de la muerte", en los que miembros de las fuerzas represoras de la última dictadura militar arrojaban a los detenidos desaparecidos hacia
las mencionadas aguas del Río de la Plata.

ES LA PRIMERA VEZ,
AL MENOS EN LA HISTORIA MODERNA,
QUE TENEMOS UN PAPA EL CUAL
ES ACUSADO DE HABER COMETIDO
CRIMENES CONTRA LA HUMANIDAD,
ESTANDO DOCUMENTADAS,
EN SU MAYOR PARTE,
ESTAS ACUSACIONES

From the outset of the military regime in 1976, I was Visiting Professor at the Social Policy Institute of the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina. My major research focus at the time was to investigate the social impacts of the deadly macroeconomic reforms adopted by the military Junta.
I was teaching at the University of Cordoba during the initial wave of assassinations which also targeted progressive grassroots members of the Catholic clergy.
The Northern industrial city of Cordoba was the center of the resistance movement. I witnessed how the Catholic hierarchy actively and routinely supported the military junta, creating an atmosphere of intimidation and fear throughout the country. The general feeling at the time was that Argentinians had been betrayed by the upper echelons of the Catholic Church.
Three years earlier, at the time of Chile’s September 11, 1973 military coup, leading to the overthrow of the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende, I was Visiting Professor at the Institute of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Santiago de Chile.
In the immediate wake of the coup in Chile, I witnessed how the Cardinal of Santiago, Raul Silva Henriquez –acting on behalf of the Catholic Church– courageously confronted the military dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet.
