Central Intelligence Agency · 81 pages · text from the file's own layer

This is a Central Intelligence Agency cable dated 14 August 1985 and sent to Washington. It forwards news clippings and magazine articles on Josef Mengele, released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. The attachments include an Argentine magazine report on claims that Mengele lived in La Banda, Santiago del Estero, as Adolfo Gualterio Ascher, along with an interview with the judge investigating those claims. They also include a newspaper article on Mengele's protection in Paraguay and on past efforts to extradite him. The file has no UFO content.

Pe ..)s to control them bet-
ter, a group of Colorado Party
dissidents known as Mopocos
were allowed to return from
exile — and Were led into a
trap of severe restraints and
total surveillance. Commu-
nism Is forbidden, but so is
the Christian Democratic
Party, its leader banished.
Anyone can found a new polit-
ical organization: All that is
needed are 10,000 signatures,
a notion as inconceivable as
the Supreme Court abridging
General Stroessner's state-of-
siege powers.
The most effective counter-
force in Paraguay is the
Roman Catholic Church,
whose newspaper, Sendero
(Path), is essentially the only
self-respecting reading ma-
terial in the country now, The
Archbishop of Asunción, Is-
mael Rolen, has sent letters
to the semiofficial press com-
plaining of the scarcity of
truth in their columns, but the
letters are not published. Per-
haps the most courageous of
the churchmen is Bishop
Melanio Medina of the town
of Benjamin Aceval, a couple
of stores and a sugar refinery
about an hour's drive away
from the capital and into the
Chaco region. For La Patric!,
the Colorado Party newspa-
per, Monsignor Medina is the
"Red Bishop." The monsi-
gnor replies to the 'taunt with
a mile of middling contempt,
but he talks about Paraguay
with the same sadness as the
young people:
"The dictatorship has suc-
ceeded in domesticating us.
Fear is pervasive. Youth has
no ambition for political life.
If you think, you come under
pressure. It you don't think,
you have no problems. No
real dissident could survive.
The country has been impov-
erished in the worst, most es-
sential sense— in its humani-
ty."
Monsignor Medina says the
"Red Bishop" jibe Is the Gov-
ernment's pathetic response
to his sermons on human
rights and injustice. "The
anti-Communism of the re-
gime is ridiculous, a facade to
protect their own interests.
The disrespect for the indi-
vidual; the informers; the po-
lice — in these ways we are
like the Communists, not
very far from them at all,"
It may be a unique case in
Latin America, but, within
the opposition, the United
States is not the focus of
blame. Brazil, the essential
source of Paraguayan money
and arms, is often described
as Paraguay's colonial ward-
er, Argentina, once again a
democracy, gets criticized
for not matching its promises
