My first question is: did you write this? And, if so, at the very least, where are your citations?

Second: what are we being invited to be skeptical about or debunking with this?
 
 
No I didn't write this, I found it on the net and thought it was very interesting and wanted to share. I will in the future start an article with whom the writer was. sorry.
 
Can you post links to the original article? thanks.

Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
