Due to the relationship between Schafer and the authorities, if cult members fled the compound and turned up at the German embassy for assistance and protection, they were simply reported to Schafer's cronies who turned up to transport them back to Colonia Dignidad.

Secondly, they were pretty sure that the relatively victorious Russians were going to move in and turn everyone into Communists, and if there's one thing Nazi's hate, it's Jews and gay people and the disabled and brown people and Communists.

If you're ever in Chile and looking for a unique and unexpected tourist experience, head east from San Carlos and up a bit, pop into the Maule region just near the Perquilauquen River at the foot of the Andes, and walk up the road from Parral until you see some blokes wearing traditional German lederhosen, speaking German, and offering you a German sausage.

Speculating on Banco de Crédito
Tumblr media
The so-called “archives of terror” discovered by a human rights lawyer in Paraguay over a decade ago continue to yield new information on the cooperation between the de facto regimes that ruled much of South America in the 1970s and 1980s. These documents confirmed that Moon-owned banks in Uruguay were used as a part of Operation Condor, though it remains unclear to the public to what extent.
I have heard before that in the 80s, Paul Schafer’s Colonia Dignidad community in Chile, which became close allies of Pinochet and for many years hosted the military and its torture chambers for political prisoners, had money in several banks, including in Argentina and Uruguay. Were they by chance using Moon’s Banco de Crédito in Uruguay?  
(Researcher and author Carlo Basso had mentioned before that Colonia Dignidad even had offices in San Francisco in the U.S.  - there’s a lot more to be said about Colonia Dignidad and its pedophile leader - you can watch the 5-episode docuseries The Survivors, Colonia Dignidad on Amazon Prime) Related links and notes below

Another close church associate, who also requested anonymity out of fear of reprisals, said cash arriving from Japan was used in one major construction project to pay “illegal” laborers from Asia and South America. “They [the church leaders] were always waiting for our money to come in from Japan,” this source said. “When the economy in Japan crashed, a lot of our money came from South America, mainly Brazil.” …”

Quick Thoughts - Phantom of the Opera - Broadway - March 27, 2023
The main trio was Greg Mills, Julia Udine, and Paul A. Schafer.
The energy in the theater was just electric. The audience was so enthusiastic and the cast was just on top of their game; everyone just had so many good details.
This is the first time, in all 25 times I’ve seen the show that I’ve had an understudy for Madam Giry on! I would say that Janet Saia plays Madam Giry a bit kinder that Maree Johnson. I always considered Maree Johnson’s Giry’s top priority to be only her and Meg, but Janet Saia’s Giry cares about the folks in the opera house.
I was sitting close enough to the stage to realize that Jim Weitzer’s Reyer was singing along with Piangi during the Hannibal Rehearsal, not mouthing along the lyrics.
Nehal Joshi’s Andre is just so good. I know I say this every time I do a write up, but this man has so many good details.
When Carlotta was singing ‘Think of Me’ Nehal Joshi’s Andre was singing along (not mouthing, singing along like he was a Kpop stan).
The look of utter relief on Nehal Joshi’s face when he thought saying ‘These things do happen,’ to Carlotta was the right thing to say, only to have the light completely die from his eyes, the moment he realized that he messed up.
The moment Greg Mills started singing from the mirror, I knew that I was going to be in for a ride.
He just has so many good details. I don’t think I managed to catch them all.
People started applauding, when he appeared in the mirror, I think he broke character and cracked a smile? (Or we can just say that he was smiling arrogantly cause the Phantom knew he was in complete control at this moment.)
Also during the title song, when the Phantom and Christine are on the boat and the ensemble is singing the chorus, the way Greg’s Phantom caressed (I’m still not sure if this is the best word) his face, touching his lips, all while gazing at an unaware Christine???! 
A lot of good hand acting details, in which Greg’s Phantom almost touches Christine’s face. but doesn’t quite manage to close the final 2 centimeters. 
The difference you get from the masked, mysterious, almost sexually charged man to the unmasked, pitiful, unhinged man still the same high quality hand acting though. 
During Point of No Return, Greg’s Phantom starts off with an Italian accent and as he got more enthralled with his ‘brilliant’ scheme, the accent slowly started to slip away.
When Julia’s Christine flashed her leg on the bench, the man’s brain just broke. His hand reached out like he was going to go for it, but he just ended placing his hand on the bench instead.
During Down Once More, most Phantoms like to option that second why into a wail/scream. Not Greg Mills. That why was a low, raspy growl.
We love a good sarcastic bow when Raoul emerges from the lake.
It always kinda cracks me up when a Phantom looks so dejected when Christine sings the ‘tears of hate’ line. Greg’s Phantom looked extra sad and dejected, as if he was thinking to himself “where did I go wrong??!”
During the line ‘send him to his grave,’ Greg held the veil, like it was a noose around his neck.
Oh, lord, the kiss.
Greg’s Phantom is just so overcome. He can’t manage to wrap his arms around Christine during the second kiss.
THE CANDLE IS BACK!!
Just when I was thinking to myself, “why must every Broadway Phantom gaslight me into think that they’re going to pick up the candle by walking right up to the organ,” Greg picked up the candle?????! The spark didn’t work, so now I’m wondering if the candle is part of the new standard blocking for the remaining performances or if Greg Mills just went, “Fuck it, I’m doing what I want.”
During the masquerade reprise, Greg’s Phantom was mimicking the monkey’s cymbals, before just slowly deflating and softly covering the monkey’s face.
The second ‘I love you’ was to the space Christine had left behind, and the third, softer yet, was to the veil, right before he picked it up.
Greg couldn’t get the final line out completely before the audience started cheering. That’s how enthusiastic the audience was.
Really love that when Greg Mills took his final bow as the Phantom, he ran out high-fiving his cast mates.

It's sprinkled throughout the last years, but kind of predicting a comeback or an abundance of red make-up looks: red looking eyes, red Mascara, red eye shadow and graphic liners...
And I don't mean reddish or copper tones or burgundy smokey eyes, I mean signal red, #FF0000 kinda red! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
E.g. like Alexander McQueen A / W 1998, Joan D'Arc collection...maybe inspiration for Undercover?
Are red eyes a signature of Undercover since 2014 (first pic)? Other two are from the A/W 2023 runway; Helmut Lang 2023; Jean Paul Gaultier S / S 22; Hunter Schafer at the Cuckoo premiere
