Igor Pertot, a Slovene sailor on board ship, stuck off the coast of Miami (April 17, 2020)
There is Corona and I don't meen the beer.
Will "Blondie" win the ellections,
Can it meen the end is near.
Olympics can wait, industry can wait too,
Who can predict when we'll be through.
Men are bored at home, some are violent too,
Wives don' t hear anymore "darling I love you".
Kissing forbitten, blowjobs dangerous too,
Social distance is making use the hand through and through.
Sport results are not new anymore,
In the East beaten "blacks" due to a false spreading rumóur.
What we will become? Let's wait and see.
I hope we'll be no fascists and kneel on our knee.
Let's hope that some good will happen,
Or at least worse will not be...
Mitrione was a small town Indiana police chief who was first recruited by the FBI and then filched from them by the CIA who sent him to two/three Latin American countries [starting in 1959, the year you were born, as this is an autobiographical novel] and one of the things he did was train police and military personnel and because of the numerous freedom fighting movements in the region and the United States predilection for supporting right wing dictatorships that training morphed into teaching interrogation techniques and then into torture. In Uruguay which was his last station and where he died--he was training police and military--they were grabbing homeless people off the streets and torturing them with the picata--or the cattle prod. They'd tie them down to a metal frame--douse them in water and go at their genitals, mouths, eyes--or more tender spots on their bodies. The homeless were their guinea pigs--the idea was that no one cared about them and no one would look for them afterwards and they didn't want these people telling stories so they killed them. The main resistance was the Tupac Amaru's--when they actually captured one of them people knew they had them......the thing that happened though was Mitrione was living on his own in this housing compound that was pretty much for foreign diplomats etc. and the Tupac's kidnapped him not knowing anything about him other than he was an American. He was being passed back and forth between two or three cells and the reason they killed him is because they were being closed in on and a signal from one cell to another was missed. There was a tape of an interrogation between Mitrione and his captors and Mitrione is trying to get them to let him go--he talks about his family, kids, I'm just a regular guy, blah, blah, blah. They had no idea who he was until after he died. Then it turned into kind of an event. Nixon went ballistic--the body went back to Indiana and Sinatra and Jerry Lewis put on a show.
