World Anti-Communist League

Founded in Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek, reverend Moon and Axis (Nazi and Japanese) war criminals, the World Anti-Communist League (WACL) was first used by Nixon to extend counter-insurgency methods into South-East Asia and Latin America. Seven heads of State participated in its meetings at that time. Later, it was revived in the Reagan era, becoming an instrument of the U.S. military industrial complex and the CIA during the Cold War. It carried out political assassinations and formed contra-guerrilla movements in all areas of conflict, including in Afghanistan where it was headed by Osama Bin Laden.

Hugo Banzer of Bolivia, Jorge Rafael Videla of Argentina and Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay were all well-known members.

One of the most notorious criminals in Argentina and in the region was former General Guillermo Suarez Mason, an important figure in the World Anti-Communist League and a top Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent; he was influential during the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983) and one of the “experts” in the Dirty War, counter-insurgency and repression, proceeding mercilessly in these activities while he held the post of Chief of the Army First Corps between 1976 and 1980, a period which abounded in kidnappings, torture, deaths and disappearances in the clandestine detention centres of which he was in charge.

He also played a key role as an Argentine military death-squad advisor within the Central American saga and was a partner of John Negroponte’s, the then U.S. Ambassador in Honduras, in the signing of the criminal pacts and alliances that were made in Central America in the 1980’s.
