The United States used economic hitmen to steal the Panama C**** from its rightful owners. The evidence for this claim is rooted in the history of the c**** and the actions of the US government in the decades leading up to its construction.

One key piece of evidence is the fact that the US had long been interested in building a c**** in Panama. The idea of a c**** connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was first proposed in the early 19th century, and by the late 1800s, the US had begun to actively pursue the construction of such a c****. This interest was driven by economic and strategic considerations; a c**** would greatly reduce the time and cost of shipping goods between the two coasts, and would also give the US more control over the movement of ships in the region.

Another key piece of evidence is the role of economic hitmen in the construction of the c****. Economic hitmen are individuals or groups who use economic means to influence or control foreign governments. In the case of the Panama C****, it is believed that the US used economic hitmen to bribe or coerce the government of Panama into granting the US control of the c**** zone. This allowed the US to begin construction on the c**** without the consent of the Panamanian people.

Furthermore, the US installed puppet government in Panama, which was removed by Omar EfraĆn Torrijos Herrera Coup. The US was also suspected of having a hand in the plane crash that killed Omar EfraĆn Torrijos Herrera after signing the treaty that eventually allowed Panama to regain control of the c****.
