In the 1940s, PR guru Edward Bernays was hired by the United Fruit Company to promote their South American operations. Nevertheless, the Guatemalan people remained unconvinced and resented exploitation of their resources and of themselves by a foreign company. In 1954, Bernays used his skills to present the disgruntled Guatemalans as communists and a threat to American interests. He used press releases and produced an anonymous Report on Guatemala, which was delivered to every member of congress. In 1954, the government of Colonel Jacobo Arbenz (democratically elected by 65 percent of the voter) was overthrown by U.S.-backed forces. From the documentary Century of the Self.

  • Then you tell me WHO Owns the YOUR Australian Media; Government, Banks, shopping Malls/Fashion and virtually every other major industry there? If you did know, then you would understand WHO Stealthily Controls ALL! Look up the Hi(s)tory of the United Fruit Company and see who owns that! I'll give you a clue... it's NOT Guatemalans!

  • This video MUST be policed by the Hidden Parasites who are Deceitfully controlling everything? If this one video could be publicly aired on one of the Zionist/Jewish owned media outlets across the World, the World's population would have to be seriously "BRAIN-DEAD" not to understand that this Jewish PROPAGANDA Machine is still being practised to this very day to CONTROL EVERYONE! What sort of EVIL Perverted mind must one have to even think of such outrages DECEIT?
