Secret Diary of Denise Fontela

May 16th, 1977
Somewhere in the Kingdom of Thailand

Ff8vGnaaAAAqKTO

Denise stumbling upon a grisly surprise....

"It was 1:11 AM in the early morning when we arrived inside our secret hideout which was heavily secluded in a very quiet small island town in Thailand. Soon afterwards, Franco Juarez, Staff Sergeant with the Argentinian Army was tasked with taking "the consigent" (as it was called) to a safe place to avoid it from ransacked by unhinged Chilean soldiers if this potential civil war between Argentina and Chile would break out due to unsuccessful diplomatic efforts at resolving the ongoing dispute over the three disputed islands.

In the late night hours of May 7th, Franco and I were inside of a very large tomb when we opened the underground compartment trap door which contained a closed casket. I was tempted to open it, but Franco prevented me from doing so, "We will wait until we make it to our secret hideout to do it." After carefully placing it into a hearse; we closed the tomb and locked the gates to it before getting out quietly from the backside of the tomb (which was barely constructed due to work being not finished).

Franco and I drove off quietly in the middle of the night and kept driving all the way down to his large ranch-style residence with an airport stripway: when we placed "the consigent" into the plane safely, we boarded the plane and took off for the flight which took hours, so I went to the private cabin which contained "the consigent", amazed at the casket and stayed guard for awhile until I dozed off during the long flight.

After arriving in the outskirts of Bangkok at 10:56 PM in the late evening hours of May 8th, we placed "the consigent" into a very large bedtruck where I sat next to it while Franco was in the driver's seat driving the vehicle all the way down towards the small quiet town located on a secluded island until arriving at 1:11 AM.

Franco parked the bedtruck inside an indoor underground garage tunnel of our secret hideout before locking the doors extremely tight. "Fontela, help me wheel this thing into the house" in reference to "the consigent" so we wheeled it inside the house, going all the way into a super secret lab. I then was groggy and tired of the long flight and long drive which took almost forever, telling Franco "I am going to get some sleep. You should do the same" before leaving the secret lab.

I slept for like twelve hours until I heard some weird noises coming from the hallway. "Sounds like squeaking sounds" I had thought to myself so I decided to check it out personally.

I walked slowly at first toward the secret lab, where I tiptoed inside to see the casket, which was opened "Where did Franco take the consigent?" My heart was beating with the adrenaline rushing inside of me as my nervousness was aggressively compounding me non-stop. It was 10:00 PM when I felt something prickly in the left side of my neck and collapsed when Franco injected me with something when he ambushed me from behind "Need to carry you to my bedroom to be secretly examined".

After Franco placed me on the bed, I was groggy asking "What's happening?" seeing that Franco was sweating, naked and barefoot; he replied "There's nothing to worry about Denise. I was just doing a deep-thorough secret examination" before he held me up to give me some water which was spiked with some weird concoction which put me to sleep again....

While I was in a deep sleep, Franco removed my pajamas from head to toe, leaving me naked and barefoot. He began applying white plaster all over my naked body before he left the room; Franco went back into his bedroom and was thoroughly penetrating someone, I couldn't hear anything because of the aggressive concoctions he gave me so it took awhile before he came back to remove the entire white plaster off of my naked body.

1:43 AM in the early morning hours of May 17th, I finally woke up from the long deep slumber of sleep, looked underneath the covers of the bed and realised I had no clothes on, so I snuck inside Franco's bedroom and looked to see where did he go....

Suddenly, what I saw must've freaked me out: I saw glistening organs inside some secret cooling boxes; then I felt something squishy on the floor, looking down to see human skin which I picked up but couldn't figure put who "the consigent" was for a couple of seconds then discovered some dark brownish blonde hair on the floor as well "Where did Franco take the consigent?"

I carefully snuck into one of the secret compartment rooms which adjoined Franco's room, opened the double doors to see Franco kissing, caressing and thoroughly penetrating a naked skinless woman on the bed with her legs spread wide open as he was moaning. I gasped with horror and tried to run away, before Franco grabbed me by covering my mouth "I've got some special surprises for you"....

To my horror, I noticed wax copies of "the consigent" was really five missing young women who mysteriously disappeared in the tenuous chaos of 1975. I was shocked and asked if these women are alive, "Relax baby. They're unconscious, I just applied wax copies to make latex mask skinsuits on them" Franco smirked.

Sleeping on the bed still naked and barefoot, I felt something super large inside of me. Woke up to the horror of Franco thoroughly penetrating me by stretching wide my vagina as I couldn't breathe and move as he was pinning me extremely hard on my back, which lasted several hours non-stop.

It was the morning of May 13th and I quietly got out of the bed (naked and barefoot) sneaking into one of the secret compartment rooms to see where did Franco keep "the consigent". Opened the double doors and saw the naked skinless woman laying on some kind of black stretcher covered only by a white sheet which was creepily equivalent to the female version of Jesus Christ, I stood there for about sixteen minutes before I felt Franco slithering right in behind me by kissing the back of my neck, "Did you like it Denise baby?" as he continued to caress all over my backside including feeling up close thoroughly. I was shaking and could only say "Yes".

Franco walked me toward across the secret lab room and took me to see something "very special" as he called it. Scared, shaking and sweating due to my fears of getting killed, I began having feeling an uneasy pit inside my stomach when he injected something into the left shoulder which I felt but couldn't say anything else as Franco showed me "his special project" and I saw latex mask skinsuits of "the consigent" with her likeness all the way in some floating cooler or something. Only then that I figured out who "the consigent" was and was horrified at what Franco had done: "Why did you this to her?" I asked him; he simply said "I am personally committed to thoroughly examining the consigent at all costs. So we're gonna be staying here for awhile until the time is right to return back home." I also noticed lots of "secret formulas" that Franco had carefully prepare and detailed on which to apply to "the consigent".

Personal PoV: Creepy Disciple of Lopez Rega the Freak
3:25 PM ARGST, May 17th, 1977
Somewhere in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina

While the upcoming US/Argentina Summit in Paradise Valley, AZ was in the works, over in Argentina, there was a creepy disciple of the controversial Argentinian Ambassador to Spain Jose Lopez Rega, who was much of a freak & more crazier & creepier like he was.

Violet Corpuz, 28, was one of those right-wing Peronistas, who pledged loyalty to the late Argentine President Juan Peron & eventually his successor, Isabel Peron, who was seen by many as a figurehead due to several crises: inflation, ongoing violence between the leftist & rightist groups of the Peronist movement as well as the botched failed coup attempt against La Presidente on March 24th, 1976 that turned into a civil war.

Corpuz also formed a rouge element of the Argentine Federal Police, it was called The Secret Task Force. "We have a go. But the superior has informed us that we'll need to wait for awhile until after the inaugural to strike."

May 24th, 1977: Argentine/US Summit occurs
Hermosa1.jpg

Hermosa Inn: Site of the Summit between Presidents Brown & Peron.

In the Brown administration's foreign policy gamble (in what skeptics were referencing to), the hyped-up Argentine/US Summit took place at the Hermosa Inn Hotel located in Paradise Valley, AZ. The host of the Summit was AZ Governor Wesley Bolin (D), who ascended to the Governorship upon the resignation of then-AZ Governor Raul H. Castro (D), who was appointed by President Brown to serve as US Ambassador to Bolivia.

On the morning of May 24th, US President Jerry Brown arrived at the Hermosa Inn Hotel first before Argentine President Isabel Peron arrived 16 minutes later. They started the Summit at 11:30 AM MST with a 12 second handshake & then participated in a one-on-one meeting, with interpreters only. Brown & Peron emerged from the one-on-one talks & walked down the corridor to the Hermosa Inn Hotel, where the expanded bilateral meeting took place.

Both countries' delegations proceeded to participate in an expanded meeting which included a working lunch.

Both delegations dined together on Argentinian & Western dishes including ice cream, dark chocolate ganacake & Argentinian pie. Following the lunch, Brown & Peron took a short walk together & viewed the interior of the 1972 Lincoln Continental presidential limousine.

Both Presidents signed a joint statement agreeing to security guarantees for Argentina; new peaceful diplomatic relations including economic & military aid to Argentina, bolstering the Argentinian High Forces Command in light of the bloody Civil War of 1976.

BREAKING NEWS: President Brown abruptly declares the Falklands belongs to Argentina; angering British government

Following the Summit, President Brown decalred the Argentina/US Summit a success during Q&A Session of the press conference.

Suddenly, Brown declared that his administration has dropped opposition to the long-dragged-out diplomatic tussle over control of the Falklands Islands "The Falklands Islands belong to the Argentine Republic as far as I'm concerned. I informed President Peron that my administration strongly supports and sides with Argentina over the issue of the Falklands. I also call objections by the British government quite provocative and annoying."


Callaghan on hot mic disparages Brown on live TV
The_President_comes_to_Washington_%289717490632%29_%28cropped%29.jpg

Over in London, Brown's abrupt comments didn't go over too well with many in the British government including British Prime Minister James Callaghan, who called Brown's comments by siding with the Argentinian government "a fucking stupid dumbass moron" on an open hot mic during Prime Minister's Questions while addressing joint session of the British Parliament.

Several members of the British Parliament have called on Callaghan to terminate the US/UK military alliance & some went further as to demanding the removal of military personnel troops stationed in the country, but Callaghan reassured those angry MPs "It's important that the long-standing alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom isn't destroyed because of one foreign policy gamble thousands of miles away."

June 4th, 1977: Isabel Peron inaugurated for full 6-year term as Argentine President
Isabel_peron_banda_presidencial_y_bast%C3%B3n.png

Argentine President Isabel Peron beaming with joy during Inauguration Day.

"VIVA LA PRESIDENTE!" "VIVA PERONMISMO" "VIVA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA" cheers came from the crowd inside the National Congress Building in Buenos Aires as Isabel Peron was inaugurated for the second time as Argentina's 39th President during a televised inauguration ceremony which was broadcast throughout the country including parts of the world.

Among the dignitaries in attendance: US Vice President Jimmy Carter & his wife, US Second Lady Rosalyn Carter; Mexican President General Oscar Robles; French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing; Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau & countless others.

In her second inaugural address, Mrs. Peron brought up the 1976 Civil War which nearly toppled her government; ongoing economic inflation crisis including other international crises over the years. "Since we won a revolution to become an independent country in 1816, Argentina has overcome many challenges since then: from being one of the most wealthiest South American countries in the region, to overcoming the after effects of the Great Depression, military coup d'etats that nearly destroyed our Republic because of political and economic instability. Let 1977 be the year that nobody messes with Argentina and gets away with it and I mean NOBODY! We're going to make the Argentine Republic Great AGAIN by any means necessary!"

Notably not in attendance: Chilean President General Augusto Pinochet, whose absence spoke obvious volumes due to the recent diplomatic spat between the neighboring countries.

June 25th, 1977: Intelligence reports circulating Argentinian military personnel troops doing aggressive military exercises along the border with Chile & coordinating with Cuba

On the basis of anonymity, intelligence reports are circulating that around 56,000+ Argentinian military personnel troops have been stationed along the border with Chile as rumors are spreading that the Argentinian High Forces Command is secretly coordinating with the Cuban government.

Of course, the Argentinian Foreign Affairs Ministry explained "these are just military exercises. Nothing more to say about the subject!" Cuban President Fidel Castro was phtographed at a special Heads of State summit with Argentine President Isabel Peron during bilateral meeting back on June 13th. Foreign policy analysts theorize the coordination between the Argentinian & Cuban governments with the potential assistance from the Soviet Union have raised alarms both in Santiago & Washington, DC.

June 30th, 1977: VP Carter meets with Pinochet
Nlc02585cs.jpg


US Vice President Jimmy Carter greeted Chilean President General Augusto Pinochet at the Number One Observatory Circle (Residence of the US VP) in Washington, DC for a bilateral meeting.

The meeting comes as tensions between Argentina & Chile continue to escalate with political & militarily rhetoric on both sides. Pinochet, who voiced strong attacks at the human rights campaign of the Brown administration in recent months due to threats of cutting off US military & economic aid because of what the Brown administration voiced egregious human rights violations against political opponents, critics & others who spoke out against the Pinochet dictatorship.

However, Pinochet & Carter held a closed door meeting with their respective interpreters which lasted for more than 3 HRS during the bilateral meeting. Of course, President
Jerry Brown was on his fourth overseas trip (more on that later in Chapter VII) & Carter would be the one doing the skilfull personal diplomacy efforts instead.

US Secretary of State
Walter Mondale & US Secretary of Defense Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., both met with Pinochet respectively in separate meetings. Pinochet personally thanked Davis & the US Defense Department for approving the request of military aid to Chile in light of the ugly diplomatic tensions with Argentina.

July 7th, 1977: Kissinger undermining Brown administration's foreign policy agenda
Former US Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger ,who hasn't been heard from since leaving office on January 20th. The influential but controversial diplomat, has been criticized by many inside the Brown administration for undermining the foreign policy agenda & human rights campaign initiatives of President Brown, who has voiced strong disapproval of several US-backed military coups including the heinous revelations of the Nixon, Ford & Rockefeller administrations of sponsoring illegal covert operations by military regimes in Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, etc., by murdering political opponents, critics, journalists, celebrities as well as professional athletes.

Kissinger has been serving as special advisor to controversial dictators such as Mexican President General Oscar Robles, Bolivian President General Hugo Banzer, Chilean President General Augusto Pinochet to name a few by encouraging them to "exterminate all political opposition as soon as possible before the incoming administration starts nagging about human rights" according to one anonymous news report.

Reports circulated that during the transition, Kissinger intentionally ordered his subordinates to destroy all evidence connecting the Ford & Rockefeller administrations to sponsoring the Mexican Military Junta government's controversial Dirty War campaign, which has resulted in the deaths of over 25,000+ people; 57,000 exiled; 3.3 million disappeared. Allegations suggest Kissinger also blocked the incoming Brown administration from receiving intelligence reports & briefings during the transition period.

July 13th, 1977: Explosions taking place at the Panama Canal; 56 American military servicemen killed

Americans woke up to the shocking news coming out of Panama as news reports confirmed that 56 American military servicemen were ambushed & killed by mysterious paramilitary forces, who attacked the Panama Canal Zone during the late night hours of July 12th.

Details are slowly coming in.....


ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT: President Brown addresses the nation on the violent bloodbath at Panama Canal Zone
In the midday HRS of July 13th, President Jerry Brown addressed the nation from the Oval Office of the White House. He addressed the violence at the Panama Canal Zone including sending his condolences to the families of the 56 US military servicemen killed in the violent ambush: "Let the world know that whoever the culprit or culprits are, you will NEVER hide because the full weight of the United States of America will hunt you down and bring those responsible to justice!"

Critics such as United States Senator
Jesse Helms (R-NC) blasted the President's foreign policy agenda including the botched rollout of ratifying the Panama Canal Treaty. "The Panama Canal belongs to the United States of America. We own it and we deserve to keep the Canal forever! The weak-kneed appeasement in this administration has revealed once again weakness on the international stage, the American people will no longer tolerate such weakness and with the midterms coming up next year, the people will voice their opposition to this administration by voting them out immediately."

BREAKING NEWS: Negotiations between US & Panama permanently stalled due to violent bloodnath at Canal Zone
US Ambassador to the United Nations
Andrew Young confirmed that the stalled negotiations between the American & Panamanian governments over transferring the Panama Canal Zone to Panama has been permanently stalled, effectively killing any chance of diplomatic solutions to resolving the issue anytime soon.

"It's very unfortunate that with what had transpired today, we cannot in good conscience continue diplomatic peaceful negotiations with the Panamanian government until further notice," Young said during a rushed press briefing at the UN General Assembly in NYC, NY St.

July 23rd, 1977:
CBS SPECIAL REPORT
BREAKING NEWS: Explosive news leaks confirmed collaboration between Cuban & Panamanian governments in the violent ambush of the Panama Canal Zone

Walter Cronkite:
"Good afternoon everyone. This is Walter Cronkitw from the CBS News Headquarters in New York City and we interupt your regularly scheduled programming to report on explosive bombshell allegations. I want to keep in mind that this is an unconfirmed report from a news agency out of France, but the report states collaboration between the Cuban and Panamanian governments in coordinating with the violent ambush of the Panama Canal Zone on July 12th, which resulted in the deaths of 56 American military servicemembers.

We're also getting new information coming in (listening to ear piece via production staff) that Cuban paramilitary forces were the ones involved in using deadly explosives, grenades, machine guns and other weapons in this violent ambush.

Leslie Stahl is live at the US State Department with more details. Leslie, what can you tell us on these explosive bombshell allegations against the Panamanian government?"

July 25th, 1977: Stock Market crashes in light of aftermath of Panama Canal Zone deadly attack

The international backlash against Panama had been growing at a faster rate & with President Brown ordering 37,000 US military personnel troops into the streets of Panama by virtually full control of the country. Controversial & flamboyant Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos, who took power in a military coup d'etat in 1968, had resisted severe economic & diplomatic moves in attempts to force him to take responsibility for the attack of the Canal Zone & step down from power, reportedly took his family in helicopters & fled Panama City in the overnight HRS of July 29th.

Brown also ordered a surprise night-time airlift of additional American military personnel troops to taking control of the Capitol City as well. Reports circulating Torrijos has fled to Cuba at the request of Cuban President Fidel Castro in order to avoid extradition to face war crimes.

BREAKING NEWS: Brazil terminates military treaty with the US; Sources hint Geisel was triggered by the US State Department report blasting military dictatorship's egregious human rights violations


Brazil cancelled the 25-year military assistance treaty with the United States because of a report from the US State Department criticizing the government of Brazilian President Ernesto Geisel over the country's human rights practices.

The Brazilian Foreign Ministry blasted the report which they viewed, constituted an intolerable interference in Brazilian affairs. Brazil also turned down more than $50 million in military aid credits that the Brown administration originally planned on seeking from Congress. The response won widespread approval from overwhelming majority of Brazilians, including members of the opposition Brazilian Democracy Movement Party, who agreed that human rights was an issue to be resolved internally.

Under the 1952 agreement, the United States extended credits & cash for the purchase of American military equipment & provided other assistance including training which had been taking place under previous US presidential administrations beginning with Harry S. Truman.

Brazil had been less dependent on US aid in recent years as the large South American country had been building its own arms industry. General Moacir Barcelos Potyguara, Chief of Staff of the Brazilian Armed Forces, said the rejection of US aid would cause no problems.

Guy Branodo, spokesman for the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, said the cancellation didn't mean that Brazil was no longer an ally of the United States according to a UPI report. "It doesn't change anything," Branodo said. "It simply ends an assistance agreement. Nothing more than that."
