The hypnosis thing isn't true; There is propaganda and misinformation; Hypnotic control thing is bogus I am not saying your under hypnosis.
The Bush Administration did present a pile of bogus propaganda like the tracker trailers and African powder cakes before the war . It waisnt incompetence they had a goal of going into Iraq for years in advance there was even a Iraqi liberation act passed in 1998; That pretty much says it all;They wanted to find any means to sell it and manufacture anything to gain consent from the public ;They didn't care if the intel was credible or not.
You don't think that special interest and wealthy opportunist have some sway of how things are run? Is your goverment incorruptible?
The term banana republic comes from Guatemala
That was the McCarthyism era when people were claiming that Pornography and rock in roll had links to communism.
I am not convinced that Guzman had any strong ties to the soviet union and was framed by the elite of who were upset about his landreforms;What he was doing was no different then what America did in the 1800's.
It still proof that America runs undemocratic satraps abroad. The CIA replaced him with a repressive Junta after Operation PBSUCCESS; Many Guatemalans died and the soldiers and personnel of the military state are guilty of raping the women of the country side among other things; Washington did not give a hoot so long as it waisnt a soviet satellite like Cuba and a America friendly goverment open to free trade;They supported Batista before Castro came in and the mafia ran Cuba.
Due to the fact it was CIA interference that brought in the Junta ; Guatemalans blaim you for all the evils of that period on your country.
Guzman was only suspect of being a communist before hand and the incriminating evidence only emerged after the CIA OP with the militants? It is a fishy story.
