Victoria Villalobos, the daughter of a rich businessman and
power broker in the Dominican Republic, learns her father is
dying of cancer in Cuidad Trujillo, the capital of the Dominican
Republic in the Caribbean. Defying her father's order to return
home as long as dictator Rafael Trujillo is in power, she travels
unannounced from Paris, where she is a student.
A friend of Victoria's father, an employee at the Dominican
Consular office in the French capital, learns that Victoria has
applied for a visa, but his message to Emilio Villalobos arrives
too late. Trujillo, though, got word on time and ordered a car to
meet her at the airport and bring her to his mansion. There she
was prepared to spend an evening with THE CHIEF. A different
beautiful Dominican woman was brought to Trujillo every night;
and now Victoria Villalbos became one of those women.
Victoria refused to believe Trujillo would harm a Villalobos,
a view she soon learned to regret. True to form, Victoria was
raped and sent home to her waiting father. Unable to bear the
shame, Emilio Villalobos puts a gun to his head and pulls the
trigger.
Ramon Villalobos, Victoria's older brother, tolerated Trujillo
until the rape and suicide. Trujillo unknowingly gave Ramon the
opportunity to plot against him by naming him to the Christopher
Columbus Committee, charged with proving without a doubt that the
Spanish explorer was buried in the Dominican Republic and not in
Spain. Besides Ramon Villalobos, Trujillo named four others to
the committee: Francisco Villalobos, Ramon's brother; millionaire
Salvador Estrella; the Rev. Modesto Diaz, a Roman Catholic
priest; and Army Gen. Octavio de la Maza. All five members shared
one important common bond. Each one had been humiliated by
Trujillo and brought under his control. Ramon gave them a way to
redeem their self respect.
Because the committee could meet at any time and in private,
Ramon quickly gained their confidence and the plotting began to
assassinate Trujillo. Because of inside security information,
provided by General de la Maza, they were able to ambush
Trujillo's car and shot him dead on a little traveled road just
after dusk on the 30th of May 1961.
Pleased with success, Ramon was not satisfied. It was not
enough to take out the man who ruled his country with an iron
hand for 31 years. He decided to try to end all dictatorships in
Latin America. His dead father provided him with the perfect
opportunity. Going over his Don Emilio's papers, Ramon learned
his father acting on Trujillo's orders had drawn up a precise
master plan to militarily control all of Latin America. Trujillo
could do it economically without firing a shot.
A financial wizard, Emilio Villalobos outlined a three step
plan to provide the necessary funding for the project. First, he
would corner the world gold market with the help of the Soviet
Union and two important U.S. gold brokers. Second, he would
search for centuries old Spanish gold still remaining the bellies
of sunken Spanish galleons off the republic's south coast. Third,
he would announce new gold and oil discoveries as a cover for the
gold manipulation. With the money, he would buy up Latin
America's debt from European and U.S. bankers, who are looking
for any way to unload the bad paper at bargain basement prices.
Ramon knew about activity at the Rosario Mine just north of
Cuidad Trujillo and the off shore drilling operation, but he was
unaware of the connection until he read his father's notes.
Armed with the Trujillo plan, Ramon finds out it is already in
motion and he decides not to stop it. But instead of taking
military control of the entire region as Trujillo wanted to do,
he will use it to eliminate the dictators and launch a Latin
American union and common market as first proposed by South
American liberator Simon Bolivar on June 22, 1826 in Panama City.
Calling the dictators to Cuidad Trujillo, Ramon Villalobos
gave them a simple choice to make. Either accept his plan in
exchange for the debt payment or he will take ruthless control of
every Latin American republic. "I won't even have to ask your
permission," he shouted. They agreed, officially ending the
nightmare of Trujillo and others like him. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORDER THE REST OF THIS BOOK CONTACT NAT CARNES
