  1. July 27, 1954 - The democratically elected Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, after receiving 65% of the vote, was overthrown by CIA-paid and -trained mercenaries. There followed a series of military dictatorships that waged a genocidal war against the indigenous Mayan Indians and against political opponents into the '90s. Nearly 200,000 citizens died over the nearly four decades of civil war.

    “They have used the pretext of anti-communism. The truth is very different. The truth is to be found in the financial interests of the fruit company [United Fruit, which controlled more land than any other individual or group in the country. It also owned the railway, the electric utilities, telegraph, and the country's only port at Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic coast.] and the other U.S. monopolies which have invested great amounts of money in Latin America and fear that the example of Guatemala would be followed by other Latin countries . . . I took over the presidency with great faith in the democratic system, in liberty and the possibility of achieving economic independence for Guatemala.”

  2. M.H.R.

    The Passion and Redemption of a Proletarian Seer It’s barely been ten days but this is different. I wrote the following piece on M.H.R., as I like to call him, many months ago. And, even though I’ve sent it out to a range of outlets, no one wants to publish it.

  3. Am I overreacting in my thoughts, or is Trump openly laying the groundwork for a coup in November?

    P. S. I know many people here is aware of the danger. My concern is whether the press, civil society, and political movements can do enough to stop it.

    "The technique of the coup involves the use of one part of the government to disrupt communications between other parts of the government, confounding and paralyzing non-cooperating agencies while displacing the dissident cliques from power. If successful, the organizers of the coup can gain control over all the levers of real power in the government, then legitimize the new configuration under the name of eliminating some great evil in society."

  5. "A coup d'etat is not the same as a revolution, where power is seized by those outside the government, or even necessarily a military putsch, whereby the military government takes over from the civilian government; it is, as Edward Luttwak points out in his book Coup d'Etat, "a seizure of power within the present system."

    Quand l’impérialisme ne peut avoir ce qu’il désire, il trouve une solution.

    Ça a toujours été le cas, et ça continuera à l’être.

  10. Yeah, also think Trump is now going full bonkers and will insinuate a coup d'état-like situation to eliminate all opposition, declare martial law, and basically topple everything to create a problematic situation. The current developments are not normal. Wake up, America, that person will hurt all of y’all #trump #coupdétat
