In 1954 the US overthrew democratically elected president Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala. He was elected through the so-called democratic voting process, but that didn’t stop America from overthrowing him for political reasons (They didn’t like his friends=Castro). On June 27, 1954, the CIA’s $2.7 million Operation Sherwood culminated in the forced resignation of Arbenz. Again, Arbenz was elected “democratically” [by the people] in 1950. Among other social reforms, Arbenz nationalized the American based United Fruit Company. Both Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and his brother then CIA director Allen Dulles were heavily invested in UFC. With Dwight Eisenhower’s approval and the help of Nicaraguan dictator Anastacio Somoza, the CIA succeeded in replacing Arbenz with Guatemalan military general Castillo Armas. This was the beginning of more than four decades of tyrannical rulers in Guatemala, all closely tied to the United States government. In all, more than 200,000 Guatemalans have been killed or have “disappeared.” Forensic scientists are still discovering mass graves.
In 1963 US backs the assassination of democratically elected Republic of Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem. Diem (a catholic), who was initially supported by U.S. President John F. Kennedy and his administration, and who was once exiled in the U.S., was initially thought to be a good counter-weight to North Vietnam’s [communist=nationalist/Anti-American] Ho-Chi-Minh. But that proved to be wrong because Diem, like Ho-Chi-Minh, desired self-governing for South Vietnam. Ultimately Diem wanted Southern Vietnam to become completely independent from U.S. control. Kennedy and Henry Cabot Lodge, the American ambassador to South Vietnam, recruited ARVN generals led by General Duong Van Minh, and orchestrated the coup against Diem. Diem was overthrew and eventually executed on November 2, 1963. Diem’s systematic death at the hands of the U.S. government was the political fuel behind the Vietnam War.
In 1970 Salvador Allende was democratically elected President of Chile, but that didn’t stop the American government from assassinating him [they falsely claimed that he committed suicide]. Not because he was elected democratically; but because Cuban president Fidel Castro was his friend. Did democracy saved and protect Salvador Allende and the Chilean people from the militant and diabolical wrath of the white-man (U.S. Government)? NO! So Afrakans answer this; why do think democracy is going save you? And then you want to talk about your little democratic hero Hillbilly “Bill” Clinton. “Bill Clinton is the first black president,” “Bill Clinton grew up playing with black people,” “he plays the saxophone.” So-called Black people can truly be ignorant. Let’s talk about the REAL Bill Clinton. Afrakan people need to get it through their religionized heads that politics is NOT the salvation of Afrakan people. So what Clinton didn’t cut the budget on a few inner-city social and small business programs. That doesn’t make him your friend! We have always had “programs”. They didn’t really work for us before Clinton, they didn’t work with Clinton, and they won’t for us after Clinton. Governmentally funded programs have too many legal conditions and compromises that ultimately benefit the funders more than those being funded. Bush even went as far as proclamating that he would only approve Funding for so-called “faith-based” organizations. Ensuring that the profits would recycle back into the white-man’s hands. I know the Bill Clinton that had members of his own staff killed to cover up his scandalous white-water corruption. I know the Bill Clinton who had the “sister”, his personal secretary Betty Curie lie to congress to cover up his inappropriate indiscretions. I know the Bill Clinton that signed into law Ronald Reagan’s’ three strike policy. Bill Clinton and his boys up at Yale University can smoke weed all night, every night, for recreation, and can subsequently become President of the United States [Snakes]. But if you and I smoke weed as a reaction (or excuse) to systematic oppression, we go straight to jail and could possibly get 20 to life for a third felony offense. That’s the Bill Clinton I know. In 1992, then Presidential candidate and acting governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton returned to Arkansas from his New Hampshire presidential campaign to preside over the execution of a so-called “Black” man named Rickey Ray Rector. In 1982, Rector was found guilty by an all-white jury for killing a trigger-happy white police officer who came to Rector’s mother’s house to resolve a domestic dispute.
