34 years ago, on December 20, 1989, the United States marines invaded Panama for the thirteenth time with 26,000 soldiers. Since gringos love the euphemisms to the invasion and massacre of innocent lives, they named it “Just Cause”.

The American military industrial complex did not miss the opportunity to deploy the entire next-generation war panoply against an defenseless population and abysmally inferior local forces. The most sophisticated weapons, many of which were used for the first time in combat, were used to massacre thousands of Panamanians in the urban enclave known as “Chorrillos”:

The sophisticated weapons of the U.S. army used in the invasion of Panama included the latest technological advances achieved by that country in the country and which were then used massively in the Persian Gulf war:

• F-117 Stealth bombers.
• 2,000-pound bombs.
• Hell Fire missiles.
• Blackhawk, Apache AH-64 and Cobra helicopters and missile launchers.
• A-37 assault aircraft.
• 30 mm quick-fire guns.
• HMMWV (Hummer) vehicles with high-caliber machine guns.
• M-16 rifles with infrared sight.

The American authorities led by George H.W. Bush justified the estimated death of more than seven thousand Panamanians with the intention of capturing the then strongman of Panama, Manuel Antonio Noriega, for his alleged links to drug trafficking.

In the background of the events, it has been revealed that Manuel Noriega, who was a CIA agent in the service of the DEA, was using far more profits from drug trafficking to the United States than he had agreed with both agencies.

As of today, 34 years after the Chorrillos Massacre, the Panamanian people are still digging up the bodies of their loved ones to carry out forensic and anthropological examinations so that they can file lawsuits before international bodies so that the United States can ask for forgiveness and pay due tribute for this monstrous crime against humanity.
