Politicians are world champions in doing compromises. Often it seems that this is the only possibility to find a way out of a cul-de-sac. I mentioned some articles before the movie Junta (Garage Olimpo) which is now playing in some small cinemas. The movie describes the life of a torture victim while Argentina was controlled by the militaries. The movie is playing as well in the culture centre Linse, Weingarten at the end of August. The tp movie description can be found here.
After democracy came back in business 30000 people were vanished without a trace but the responsible guys for this massacre were never really punished. They life lives like ordinary people, trying to be politicians, and so on. The normal play after the overkill that we Germans saw quit good after the Nazi dictatorship. A lot of the fuckers gained again power. But this time they said they are good democrats. The victims and their relatives had never a chance to ask for justice. But today the former torturers have it not so easy anymore because the internet gives the formerly hunted a mighty tool to yell out their pains. You can find the ugly Argentinian military bastards under this link. Don't forget these faces. And if You see one of these guys than treat him with the fitting disrespect. These guys earn nothing more than our deep contempt.
The movie Junta is today very important. Our civilised countries have discovered again torture to force confessions (not only the Americans!!!). Till now it seems that only the bad guys are the "victims" but this can be only the beginning and we should fight this development.
