Guatemala Intel Minister: Migrant Caravans Are Chicago NGO ‘Well-Planned events,' Not Spontaneous
Doing the politically incorrect work our own IC has no intention of doing, and we know why. Thank you Mario. "This was not a spontaneous event. It was well-planned. It was well-organized," Duarte, head of the Secretariat of Strategic Intelligence of Guatemala, said at an event hosted by the Center for a Free Secure Society at the National Press Club. He said different intelligence, law enforcement, and military agencies found evidence that the October caravan from Honduras to the U.S. ‐ which at one point contained about 40,000 migrants ‐ was organized in advance. There was a call on October 5 in Honduras for citizens to join a "massive migration walk to the United States," he said. "We detected logistical preparation throughout Guatemala and Mexico, to be able to bring all these people to the U.S. southern border." He said the main organization behind the caravans was a non-governmental organization based out of Chicago, called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, led by organizer and pastor Emma Lozano. "Hope and Change" people? Could there be a connection ? "They started working with Honduran, Guatemalan, and Mexico counterparts," he said. "The organization was impressive to say the least. They used mainly [social media apps] WhatsApp and Facebook." Any chance we could possibly learn who is funding these people ? He said Bartolo Fuentes, a Honduran activist, was the main leader of the caravan on the ground, and that he came into Guatemala beforehand to scout and send money to places migrants could stay as they moved through Guatemala towards Mexico. Duarte said the group also connected with international NGOs like Oxfam. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-02-14 |
