[[Operation Condor ]] 
Context: Operation Condor (1975–1983) was a U.S.-backed campaign by Southern Cone dictatorships to eliminate leftists, involving intelligence sharing, abductions, and assassinations. PBSuccess was a precursor, establishing a model for CIA-orchestrated regime change in Latin America.

Shared Tactics: PBSuccess’s use of psychological warfare, propaganda, and paramilitary forces prefigured Condor’s strategies, particularly its [[Condortel]] network for intelligence coordination. The CIA’s training of Guatemalan officers post-1954 at the [[Schools of Americas]] (SOA), including figures like Julio Roberto Alpírez, linked PBSuccess to Condor’s repressive tactics.
