I don’t see how the author proves the theory with actual examples.
South Americans are very diverse. People are even distict culturally from one town to another. That cruelty that is mentioned didn’t exist intil Marxism put its’ ugly tentacles there.
What ruined South America was Marxism, corruption, drugs, the evil that imported that system.
Haven’t you seen the legions of American actors that supported Chavez? Of course former American President Carter was Chavez’ biggest cheerleader.

It was known in Venezuela that Iran funded Hugo Chavez’ political campaign funneling $Millions to Chavez with no prior political experience. He was a military man.
The relationship and exchanges of goods and money was not something they hid after Chavez won the election.

The 2009 “coup d’état in Honduras was carried out with the acquiescence of the U.S. government at the time. In fact, the Millennium Challenge Corp., an independent U.S. foreign-aid agency chaired by the Secretary of State — Hillary Clinton at the time — continued to provide funding to the coup regime in the immediate aftermath of the putsch, even as the U.S. State Department indicated publicly that it had suspended assistance programs in Honduras.”

Some estimate that as much as 87 percent of cocaine moving north to the US passes through Honduras.

“There has indeed been a “marked resurgence” of Iranian state sponsorship of terrorism over the past 18 months. But as the new Nisman report drives hom, here’s an even more disturbing fact — Iran has run intelligence networks in the United States’ backyard to “sponsor, foster and execute terrorist attacks” for decades.”
“Criminal plans” by Iran could be under way in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, the report said.

I found this linked from another thread. That thread was on ISIS, and this thread was linked to explain some of the similarities of ISIS and the Mexican drug gangs.
I think I will have to read Quigley’s work. Tragedy and Hope was written in 1966, the year I was born. I feel it may offer a lot.
Modern academia and politics has discounted so much work in history which explains so much. Political correctness has become so powerful as to threaten us.
The idea our cultures carry artifacts from thousands of years ago used to be normal thinking of anthropologists. Now it is discounted.
I have a lot of personal reading I am going to need to do.
Tragedy and Hope was famous as Bill Clinton’s favorite book, which makes me wonder why he isn’t a strong voice for eliminating stream of Peruvian-Pakistani “immigration” that is flooding into America...? Statutory invasion, is still invasion.

Quote: “Interestingly enough, these attitudes have successfully survived the efforts of the three great religions of ethical monotheism, native to the area, to change these attitudes. The ethical sides of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam sought to counteract harshness, egocentricity, tribalism, cruelty, scorn of work and of one’s fellow creatures, but these efforts, on the whole, have met with little success throughout the length of the Pakistani-Peruvian axis.”

I understand how Judaism and Christianity tries to counteract this, but how does ‘islam’ try to counteract this harshness.
I really do not understand. Found a link to this article today and read most of it. Maybe should have read all!!!
Thanks!
