The
Panama Deception documents the untold story
of the December 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama;
the events which led to it; the excessive force
used; the enormity of the death and destruction; and
the devastating aftermath. The Panama Deception
uncovers the real reasons for this internationally
condemned attack, presenting a view of the invasion
which widely differs from that portrayed by the U.S.
media and exposes how the U.S. government and the
mainstream media suppressed information about this
foreign policy disaster.
The Panama Deception includes never before
seen footage of the invasion and its aftermath, as
well as interviews with both invasion proponents like
Gen. Maxwell Thurman, Panamanian President Endara
and Pentagon spokesperson Pete Williams, and opponents
like U.S. Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY.), Panamanian
human rights workers Olga Mejia and Isabel Corro and
former Panamanian diplomat Humberto Brown. Network
news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering
analysis of media control and self censorship relevant
to any news coverage today, particularly during times
of war.
The
Panama Canal Treaty was never renegotiated and currently
control and operation of the Panama Canal is under
complete panamanian control, which is working now
on a referendum to expand the Canal.
