For their part, the Cubans were clear about their intentions in fomenting insurrection in Latin America. In 1966, the Argentine Ernesto “Che” Guevara had talked openly about the need to create “two, three…many Vietnams in Latin America.” The head of Cuban intelligence, Manuel Piñeiro, later outlined Cuban policy in the region: “Our revolution is part of the Latin American revolution… Our battle won't have ended until all the peoples of Our America have freed themselves of the neo-colonial yoke.” Manuel Piñeiro, 102

  • 2000 . Journal of Third World Studies Argentina actually experienced two national security dictatorships during the Cold War period, the first from 1966 to 1973. “General Juan Ongania's national security state (1966–1973) codified the conceptual framework of the national security doctrine as a foundation for military rule. In 1964 Ongania said, “The armed forces exist to guarantee the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation, to preserve the moral and spiritual values of Western and Christian civilization, to maintain public order and domestic peace, to promote the general welfare, to sustain the enforcement of the Constitution, of its rights and essential guarantees, and to maintain the republican institutions in which they are established legally. “26 Decree-law 16970 institutionalized this sweeping conception of national security, especially Article 2: “National security is the situation in which the vital interests of the nation are protected from substantial interference and disruption.” J. Patrice McSherry, “National Security and Social Crisis in Argentina,” (Spring: 7. Although the military leaders did curtail political and civil liberties during this period, they did not engage in the systemic and harsh repression of the Proceso.

Antonini Wilson subsequently left Argentina for Miami, where Venezuelan intelligence agents eventually followed him and, according to his testimony in federal court in Miami, tried to bribe him to keep silent. According to phone records provided by the U.S. government, the head of the DISIP himself called Antonini Wilson twice to arrange such a deal
