U.S. Slaughter 200,000 in Guatemala

After overthrowing the democratic government of Guatemala in 1954 under the pretext of 'Communism', the United State installed a series of right wing military juntas, which, with the aid, training & support of the U.S. tortured, murdered & killed approx. 200,000 people.

Great vid. 5* FAV

Most Americans just don't want to know how their government has destroyed Latin American countries.

If those were not "brown" people, the population might be alittle more upset.

The thug preaches liberty while swinging a bat.

HOLY SHIT

[killer1983a]

Amerians do nothing but talk about how great they are and how much they care about the rest of the world but they are full of shit... They have murdered MILLIONS in order for them to become a rich country. They even killed their own civilians on September 11. Fucking hypocritical flag waiving bastards!

[cooks1234]

speaking about capitalist genocides it be cool if you did one about the native american genocide(like manifest destiny,smallpox,etc) and the slavery era.

[EkajTheSwordsman]

The 200,000 were killed decades after the coup when Guatemala was under a US arms embargo due to human rights violations.

[EkajTheSwordsman]

"Arbenz was elected without a secret ballot. His land reform, designed by the Communist Party, was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, which he then purged. His regime openly praised Stalin, relied on the communists for key decisions, and received arms from the Soviet bloc.[36] He killed hundreds of his opponents.[37] The CIA intervened because it feared that a communist dictatorship would become a Soviet beachhead in the Western Hemisphere.[38]"

dont worry, negro mulato obama is now president and the white man who did this to you will now taste his own pain.

[nrgetick]

nice job bro,.the vid reminds me of some sort of cross between zeitgeist and rage against the machine music videos

[287654321]

The US under the Bushes, esp CIA, is an all terror, all terrorist nation capable only of undermining genuine democracies & setting up mass murder institutions.Geo Bush Sr, was supervisor to one of the shooting teams in Dallas: he's a Kennedy killer & traitor: ALL EVL.

Between 1946 and 2001, the SOA trained more than 61,000 Latin American soldiers and policemen. Some of them became notorious for human rights violations, including generals Leopoldo Galtieri, Efraín Ríos Montt and Manuel Noriega, dictators such as Bolivia's Hugo Banzer, some of Augusto Pinochet's officers[1][2], and the founders of Los Zetas, a mercenary army for one of Mexico's largest drug trafficking.- taken from wiki article
