Interviews
Frederick Wills
by Carlos Wesley
The former Foreign Minister of Guyana describes how terms of trade imposed on developing sector nations force them to expand their “black economies”—dope exports—to get the foreign exchange necessary for imports and debt payments. This growing dope trade, he states, is threatening the population of the advanced sector, while the malnourished populations of the Third World, growing dope rather than food, turn to cults.
Alfonso Robelo
by Carlos Wesley
The joint commander of the anti-Sandinista guerrilla group ARDE describes how the Jesuits—whom he describes as the “infiltrators of the Church”—are manipulating the population in a situation building towards a bloody civil war.
