On July 4, 1980, the United States completed 204 years of independence.
0:32
Meanwhile, the people of the village of Michael Levine, was encumbered in Buenos Aires,
0:37
to meet with drug trafficker Hugo Hurtado Candia.
0:40
They were there to talk about a deal, but Hurtado mentioned that Roberto Suarez Gomez,
0:45
do you remember him, the Bolivian cocaine king?
0:48
Well, he was planning a coup d'etat.
0:52
Hurtado mentioned that the change was coming,
0:55
and that he was in a hurry to get his cocaine out of Bolivia and take it to Buenos Aires before.
1:01
He was happy with his current bribes to police and military,
1:04
and did not know if the new regime was going to charge him more.
1:07
Hurtado also mentioned that his niece, Sonia Atala, would have considerable power under
1:12
a new government.
1:14
Levine made him keep talking and Hurtado kept confessing things.
1:18
He lamented the loss of 158 kilos of cocaine in a plane that crashed in Venezuela.
1:24
That plane, according to Hurtado, took off from Atala's ranch.
1:29
By the way, the only photos of Sonia Atala are like this with a blurred face because
1:33
is currently under witness protection. But that's a story for later.
1:39
So, let's go back to that meeting in July 1980. Hurtado is confessing, with names,
1:46
dates, and places, key details that link him and Sonia Atala to the corporation of
1:53
Roberto Suárez Gómez. He is also confessing that there is a coup in preparation against
1:58
a friendly government, a government so friendly that it lets agents of the DEA operate in
2:04
their country, and says that this is planned for some time in the next month, so there
2:10
is still time to act and stop it. Meanwhile, with a hidden microphone in his suit, Michael
2:16
Levine is trying to keep calm and not show his emotion. He knows about that plane because
2:22
the DEA found it in Venezuela, with the same amount of cocaine that Hurtado confessed.
2:27
That evidence, plus the recording, would be enough to arrest Hurtado, Atala, and even
2:33
Suárez Gómez, and end the corporation, and the majority of the drug trafficker in Bolivia.
2:39
After leaving the meeting, Levine went to speak with his local contact, a member of
2:44
the Argentine secret police.
2:46
This secret police disappeared thousands of people during the military meeting.
3:07
In his book, Levine recalls the character of that police officer, although for legal reasons he had to refer to him with a synonym, Mario.
3:17
Sometimes you have to change the names, not to protect the innocent, but the guilty.
3:22
He says,
3:24
For Mario, murder had become an addiction, a necessity, even an aphrodisiac.
3:31
Once, at an event at the US embassy, I heard him half drunk tell other Argentine police officers,
3:38
Nothing excites me more than killing. Immediately after killing, I have to fuck. I'm desperate
3:45
to fuck." When the Argentines heard the recording, they
3:50
were not enthusiastic. They were worried. Levine remembers that Mario told him,
3:55
The same people he names as drug traffickers are the people we are helping to free
4:02
Bolivia from leftists. Although Levine did not have the necessary
4:06
necessary security authorization to know it, his investigation of Roberto Suárez Gómez
4:11
had just failed, directly against Plan Condor.
4:16
Argentina was one of the first countries to join the Plan Condor of the CIA.
4:21
Plan Condor is a topic too broad to explain well in this video, but to
4:25
summarize, it was an anti-leftist terrorism campaign, coordinated by the CIA, in all
4:30
the military dictatorships of the South Cone.
4:32
I've already made several videos on these topics and every time I say anti-communism,
4:38
there's always a dickhead with a profile picture of Porfirio Díaz with laser eyes
4:43
who is currently writing his comment to say that, oh, I'm anti-communist and
