Even the history channel acknowledged that the United states imposed a coup on an democratically elected president of iran in the 1950s... I suspect the US government wanted all such programs scrapped from the TV....WE NEED TO BEING BACK REAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS BACK TO BASIC CABLE!!

The US goes inside the countries of the Hispanic people and caused unrest and civil wars to take place in their country and when these people flee their country into the US, racists such as Crooked Trump, call them "hardened criminals," but he inconveniently skipped the part where just a few months earlier he sent CIA operatives to assassinate their leaders and caused a civil war to break out in their country that forced them to escape their country into the US. If the Americans don't want these Latinos to come into their country then don't go into these people's country to kill their leaders, overthrow their governments, and cause wars to take place within their country then there won't be any reason for these people to flood into the US! But, as always, the US can't help it but to barge into other people's countries since it is a rogue nation that makes its living by stealing other countries' resources and wealth!

Shared on Facebook and Twitter with the following message: The real ironic hypocrisy is that most who shout that the U.S.A. is "the best" have never been outside of the racists, anti-immigrant mindsets of millions in the U.S. A., and "America" by definition includes North, South and Central America, with the U.S. only being part of "America". Aside from staying in many places as far away as Guam and much of Europe, I've been to Vancouver, Victoria and have dozens of cousins in Montreal. No place is perfect, but most of Canada's people are good and they took in refugees from murderous government corruption in Guatemala. I broke the law by paying $5,000 each to have some of those refugees transported to Vancouver, and I would break the law again and again to save lives that are filled with a heart's desire, a great sense of humor and much love for their family and friends. Yet, here I am a "lowly Atheist" while "Christian Donald Trump" and his "Christian" supporters want to do the opposite - spend billions of dollars to have refugee mothers and children die at our borders as they try to escape the murderous tyranny that "Christians" Ronald Reagan and Oliver North bolstered and fostered upon Central America in the Contra Scandal to allegedly fight alleged "mass communism" . The same McCarthyism that led to literally a million deaths of indigenous people in Guatemala alone. What did Oliver North get on behave of a Reagan? A short prison sentence and of course, his own show on Fox Fixed and Fake "news", who spent an entire week of airtime worshipping "The memory of Reagan".

Excellent reporting. It's so important to keep reminding people of the history of US imperialism and the role it played in getting us to where we are today-- especially as it relates to mass migration and displacement of refugees from Syria, Iraq, Latin and South America... The way the right wing is willing to create mass misery throughout the world and then blame their own victims is simply despicable-- and I wholeheartedly include the vast majority of Democratic politicians in that condemnation. We need a new party that is genuinely anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist. We need massive mobilization against climate change, our endless wars and covert operations to overthrow popular and democratic governments, unprecedentedly extreme inequality, and mass poverty. I would love to see American Christians carry on the torch of liberation theology.

There is a glaring omission here, and a common one these days, about why America was fighting dirty in the first place. There is a failure to acknowledge that in American society, we constantly challenge the actions of our government, and the press is free to do so, creating a detailed legacy of every mistske and consequence, shining a light into every misdeed. The world so easily forgets this because there is simply no other story. The Soviets back then, and the Russians today, fought just as dirty if not dirtier, and as there was no internal dissent, and no public self-reflection about what they were doing, there is no legacy to remember. If you think the US acted in a vacuum, you are wrong. If you think the US should not have gotten involved, you are naive. Two wrongs never make a right, and both sides went too far, but the reality everyone forgets in those days is that the Soviet Union openly worked towards forcing the entire world into its system, and did so without any public dissent, oversight, investigation or regret. This age is coming back, in fact it has already arrived. Foreign affairs does NOT operate according to the ethical principles of liberal democracy, respect for civil rights and equality. Had Russia succeeded and America failed...a real possibility now with American internal strife...things would have been much, much worse and still may turn out that way. People SHOULD continue to criticize America and it's mistakes, as that is what makes America great...not power but self-awareness clearing a path to self-correction. But to do so with such one-sided condemnation, well, all I can say is be careful what you wish for. Monsters exist, and wherever there is one there is usually another ready to take over and rule by force all over again.

I remember a little of this growing up as a child in the 80s, so thanks for the refresher video. More recently, I had a Honduran co-worker/acquaintance and he was an overall okay person, but he was a bit "off" and for that reason I kept somewhat of a distance. As I got to know him with talking, on regular conversation he told me what it was like growing up in Honduras, where murder is so commonplace the police will leave bodies on the streets for days and how if he returned home, he'd probably be dead within a year. After knowing him a few months, I could understand why he seemd "off" to me. Coming from the hood in America, I could definitely understand it once I really thought about it, given my community's experiences here in the States. Fucked up American policies are very good at destroying lives everywhere they are implemented. In other countries, there is no American Dream veneer to maintain and they just really make things go to full on hell because they can. And in true American fashion, blame the people whose community and country you just systematically fucked up.

Sadly, it is not since the '80s that these dirty wars have happened to our Latin American neighbors. Our intervention in these independent neighbors of ours has been going on since they became independent from Spain (or France for Haiti). The black and white man speaking was the most decorated Marine before Chesty Puller. He was General Smedly Butler and he oversaw 'peace keeping' operations for US corporate interests in many Latin American countries in the early 1900's. It was not 'making world safe for democracy' but 'making US corporate profits say for robber barons'. And now, those BAD policies result in blowback to the US and we blame our victims! Learn our real history, not the sanitized, fictionalized 'Merica! history.
