Guatemala 1954 CIA Coup About to End? [61 years too late]

[Peter Lemkin]

And Washington and the rich are desperately trying to stop it.

Sadly, you are likely correct Magda, but we can always hope. This is along with Honduras the original CIA 'banana republics'.....a shameful history [which includes most all Central and most of South America too]. Time to end it all and never do so again. I was always the rich inside and out, and the ultra-right inside and out that were in favor of this and used the military inside and the CIA from outside and in to do this. Israel and UK helped out on some things at some times, but were not the prime players. The hate us for our freedoms?...and those we impose on others? What a sad joke! The Truth of American History is almost the exact opposite of the American Mythological Fairy tale sold to the public via the controlled media as one sells snake oil. America never was about promoting democracy - not at home and less abroad...in fact, quite the opposite, as the record clearly shows. One has to struggle to name more than one dictatorship, military coup, repressive regime, death-squad type of government that wasn't a USA puppet scheme and/or set up and supported by the US. You won't find it in US History books in schools up to university level, nor on the History Channel et al. It is all a secret, as if it never happened. It may have fooled most Americans, but it fooled few in the countries effected. They don't love the US, and with good reason they fear it.
