Today I learn about " School of the America" I want to share it with you and want you also to take action the way you can
School of the Americas what is it?
An Amy center for Latin America militaries which began in the panama canal zone in 1946. It was closed and moved to Fort Benning, Georgia in 1984. The school trains professional soldiers in psychological warfare, interrogation , and use of weapons. In 2001, it was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute of Security cooperation.
This week congress will vote on an amendement to close this school. You can give your support by contacting your representative by email or Call Congress toll free at 888-355-3588.
The reason are:
-Cite the murders and abuse of human rights of 1000's central Americas including the poor , educators, church leaders done by graduates by this school
-Describe the school as a
school of Assassins
-State that the school is a way for america to be Imperial power in the Western World
- Discribe how graduates of the school violating human rights
-Us tax dollars are being used each year to support a school that teaches violences and killing.

*COL Franck Romain1956, MP Officer
St. Jean Bosco Massacre: On Sept. 11, 1988, armed men broke into the St. Jean Bosco church while Fr. Jean Bertrand Aristide was saying mass and killed 12 parishioners and wounded at least 77. They doused the church in gasoline and set it on fire. Witnesses identified at least two of the gang members as deputies of Col. Romain, who was then Mayor of Port-au- Prince. Col. Romain later publicly justified the massacre as legitimate.
