    The Americans were craftier. Unlike their European cousins, they
    never colonized anyone. When you have 800 military bases, spread
    over 63 countries worldwide, manned by 350000 military personnel,
    17000 of whom are permanently afloat on 11 Aircraft Carrier
    Strike Groups that cover every ocean and sea, bringing every
    inch of the world within strike range, why colonize? Heck, the
    whole goddamn world is your colony.

    The Americans have always had a different playbook, called the '
    stranglehold' - install a tin-pot dictator as a puppet, pay him
    well, train him to crush dissent and then go in and plunder,
    while your spin doctors paint a picture to the world of you as a
    cute and cuddly Santa helping in the 'development' of the little
    nation, and saving it from evil (communism then and Islamic
    fundamentalism now). It is indeed a nice partnership - the
    dictator crushes dissent, prevents any kind of reforms from
    happening and you do what you do best, you plunder. The US
    zealously builds and maintains many similar partnerships even
    today.

    Guatemala installed it's first democratically elected head of
    state, Juan Jose Arevalo, overthrowing by popular vote, a goon
    called Jorge Ubico, under whose stewardship, United Fruit
    Company came to directly own 50% of Guatemala's prime
    agricultural land where it grew bananas for export. President
    Arevalo brought in reforms that allowed the trade unions to
    confront United Fruit with a list of demands for better wages
    and working conditions for the workers.

    Arevalo's successor, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, proved to be even
    more zealous. Looking to confiscate and redistribute United
    Fruit's lands to the real owners, the Guatemalan farmers, Arbenz
    proposed to the company that he intended to take back the 234000
    acres that the company owned and offered the company $595000 in
    compensation.

    The figure ($595000) was easy to establish. It was what
    regularly showed up on United Fruit's tax returns as being the
    value of the land it owned in Guatemala, grossly under-valued in
    order to shaft the American tax-payers. Nice, no?

    United Fruit decided to run to mama (the ever-ready US
    Government), for help in engineering a coup d'etat and regime-
    change.

    That proved to be easy. And why not? Every major US Government
    official had a family or business connection to United Fruit
    Company.

    The then US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles and his law
    firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, had been legal counsel for United
    Fruit for decades and hey, he was also a major shareholder in
    UFC. Dulles's bro, Allen W Dulles, was also a major shareholder
    of the company and Allen just happened to be the Director of the
    CIA right then.

    Conflict of interest? Wait, we haven't even started yet.
    General Robert Carter, head of the National Security Council was
    a former Chairman of the Board of United Fruit. Senator Henry
    Cabot Lodge Jr., America's ambassador to the UN where he spun
    the spin, was also a shareholder. Ann Whitman, the wife of
    Edmund Whitman, United Fruit Company's publicity director just
    happened to be President Dwight D. Eisenhower's personal
    secretary. John Moor Cabot, Assistant Secretary of State for
    Inter-American Affairs, was also a major shareholder in United
    Fruit. And his brother, Thomas Dudley Cabot, was a Director of
    International Security in the State Department and had also been
    President of United Fruit. John McCoy, the President of the
    International Bank for Reconstruction and Development was a
    former member of the Board of Directors. Walter Bedell Smith,
    the Director of the CIA until 1953 and Robert Hill, an
    Undersecretary of State, were members of the Board of Directors
    of United Fruit.

    United Fruit Company owned America.

    When an august group like the above leaders of the civilized
    world get together, there are no limits to what can be made to
    happen. The US Government moved in with it's fearless marines,
    against a formidable and dastardly foe - a nation that was
    smaller than the US state of New York and had a GDP that was 950
    times smaller.

    While the spin masters like Edward Bernays (See Part-2) prepared
    the basis for the military invasion, through a web of lies that
    started with the non-existent commie threat, the CIA sat down
    and wrote a document named 'Operation PBSUCCESS' which was
    essentially a blueprint for a detailed plan for subversion,
    destabilization and assassinations against Guatemala, a
    sovereign country.

    The New York Times (May 31, 1997) revealed the existence of an '
    Assassination Manual and Short-List' outlining methods to be
    used and listing officials, including Arbenz himself, to be '
    neutralized' through 'Executive Action.'

    The Nazis used to love calling the mass murder of Jews 'The
    Final Solution of the Jewish Question'. They never once used the
    words 'kill', 'murder' or 'assassinate'. Similarly, the
    Americans liked to be 'civilized' about the business of murder.
    They called assassinations 'Executive Decisions'. ------------------------------------------------------------------
    "The United Fruit Company" A poem from Canto general (1950)
    by Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)

    When the trumpet sounded everything was prepared on earth, and
    Jehovah gave the world to Coca-Cola Inc., Anaconda, Ford Motors,
    and other corporations.

    The United Fruit Company reserved for itself the most juicy
    piece, the central coast of my world, the delicate waist of
    America. It rebaptized these countries Banana Republics, and
    over the sleeping dead, over the unquiet heroes who won
    greatness, liberty, and banners, it established an opera buffa

    it abolished free will, gave out imperial crowns, encouraged
    envy, attracted the dictatorship of flies:

    Trujillo flies, Tachos flies Carias flies, Martinez flies, Ubico
    flies, flies sticky with submissive blood and marmalade, drunken
    flies that buzz over the tombs of the people, circus flies, wise
    flies expert at tyranny. With the bloodthirsty flies came the
    Fruit Company, amassed coffee and fruit
    in ships which put to sea like overloaded trays
    with the treasures from our sunken lands.

    Meanwhile the Indians fall into the sugared depths of the
    harbors and are buried in the morning mists; a corpse rolls, a
    thing without name, a discarded number, a bunch of rotten fruit
    thrown on the garbage heap. ------------------------------------------------------------------

    The banana republic of Zimbabwe - The Zimbabwean

    thezimbabwean.co/2012/11/the-banana-republic-of-zimbabwe/

    Our plutocracy in Zimbabwe, truly believes that it has the
    inalienable right to political power and will do all it can, to
    force that reality on its citizens. It stifles public debate,
    criminalizes alternative views and seeks to continually create
    an illusion of its invincibility. It uses disinformation,
    cohesion, incarceration and if necessary, violence, to force its
    ideas onto us, its citizens. It continues to deny the
    possibility that there is a better way and will seek to damage
    personal initiative and ambition in all instances. Like an
    octopus, its tentacles must lay claim to all fortunes to be made
    and on those who might make them.

    Its minions, be they hawkers, professors, governors, senators,
    chiefs, bishops, spies, dealers, small time farmers and drunkards
    alike, have become an amorphous conglomeration of willing
    political factions, who must blindly endorse and partake in its
    activities and crimes, while expecting to be the beneficiaries
    of its largesse.

    Each day that I pursue issues, I am chilled at the depth of the
    wound that ZANU (PF) has inflicted upon this land and our
    national psyche. This applies especially to the older generation
    of Zimbabweans, who have effectively given up on any hope for
    change, because the wound inflicted, is so deep and permanent.

    They remind me of the phenomenon where, if you shackle an
    elephant in one spot for long enough, and then remove the
    shackles, it will not move an inch believing the shackles to
    still exist. I now deliberately avoid talking to some of them
    about creating a better future in Zimbabwe because it pains me
    to see such despondency and lack of hope in their eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------ money.cnn.com/2016/12/09/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/
