On August 3rd the U.S. State Department said that it had blocked the sale of British Canberra Jet bombers to Peru because of that Country's "current financial difficulties" and the pressing need to stabilise its economy. This recent revelation would certainly appear to have the effect that any misconceptions about the ruling Oligarchs in Peru being independent, must now be crushed under the weight of a real demonstration of the truth, and expose them as the puppets that they are. The reason for this ban of sale by the US State Department is a little mystifying.They claim that they have no intention of selling their own aircraft to Peru. Their reason is that "economic development and stabilisation are of course its first priority". The US State Department is not usually as blatant in showing up the relationships between poor countries and the US., as it has been in this instance. Perhaps "economic development" means greater investments for US capital, and this is just that little bit more important at this time than, than the bombers which were to be used to supplement those that have already dropped their cargoes of death on the Andean peasants.
