People bring up Iran-Contra, but there should be an indelible memory of his complicity and cover-up of the El Mozote massacre as well as the murder of Archbishop Romero, now infamous and well known enough to be written about in The Atlantic.

Few things I like better than when the Quakes and the Papes get it together over liberation theology! This is about Pope Leo’s “apostolic exhortation”, as appreciatively reported in the Quaker weekly. “It is not possible to separate the worship of God from concern for the poor.“

Nah. The USA has long wanted to destroy Venezuela and gain access to its large proven reserves of oil.
This is also a project 2025 thing because of Chavez's use of liberation theology, a theological movement that evangelicals see as an existential threat.

Why does time seem to pass so quickly?
By Leonardo Boff
The feeling that time is accelerating may be the most intimate symptom that the Earth's own heart has raced – and our vital rhythm is no longer in sync with the planet.

Por que parece que o tempo passa tão depressa?

A sensação de que o tempo acelera pode ser o sintoma mais íntimo de que o próprio coração da Terra disparou – e nosso ritmo vital já não sintoniza com o planeta.
