(Responding to a comment from the previous thread)

The screwing of Central America started much earlier though. I recently read about the history of the United Fruit Company and their sleazy dealings there. In the 50’s, both the Secretary of State and the head of the CIA were brothers who were on the payroll of the UFC. They used their offices to help the company by engineering an “anti-communist” coup in Guatemala.

Sadly, too much of our foreign policy is aimed at helping plutocrats plunder people out of sight of the American citizenry.

Unfortunately the citizenry has never given a fuck.
