Guatemala had elections on 45, and again on the 50, and the rest is correct, great video
They had real elections the first time? I thought it was some kind of weird panel? (I'm seriously asking I could totally be wrong on that)
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn yeah there was a panel from 20 October 1944 (we still celebrate that date) and the panel called for real elections and we had an awesome president from march 1945 to march 1951 (his legacy include social security, workers laws and lots more) and on 51 Arbenz was elected, who to this day is an iconic figure (he was great too), and Arbenz was overthrown by PBSUCCESS, as you mentioned.
The panel was for transition, they were good too, they gave women the right to vote and were in power for just some months to call elections.
Also the 40 year war you mentioned includes genocide in 1982 by a guy who was assisted by Elliot Abrams, a guy who is currently working for Trump on international relations for latin america. So it is still going. Not much has really changed.

@Steven Moomaw-Tupper Most of the American people don't care they aren't the one dying. Just like Venezuela Syria North Korea Iran Yemen through sanctions. All the government have to do is call them a rouge nation and most Americans fall for it and give them there blessing and I cant see it ending any tine soon.
@@mickd5895 True. But it is because of our inability to take seriously the founding fathers idea of an "informed citizenry". We are selfish and lazy(as humans are often wont to). We all too often wish to believe something without bothering to find out if it is true, or if part of it is true. And we are largely insulated from the decisions made because they affect us only tangentially(and even then years or generations later), whereas they dramatically affect the people in those countries almost immediately. People, that because they had no money or power to challenge those decisions, become even worse off, making it harder still for them to combat their circumstances later on. Until, finally fleeing is the only real answer for them. Look, I'm not one of those guys that fetishsizes the founding fathers. But they were pretty bright men and quite wise for their time. There were things they got wrong(largely, though,compromises they felt they had to make to keep the revolution alive). But on issues like this, they were pretty far seeing. Washington,Paine,Adams,Jefferson, Franklin...even guys like Madison and Hamilton would be shocked and saddened to see the kind of "foreign policy" exploits this country would engage in, less than a century after our founding. They knew it was possible, but hoped that an informed citizenry would keep it in check. So much for that idea.
It's pure evil to victimize victims, and then to drum up hate and racism to bring even more pain to these people. It makes me ashamed of this country.
Yeah, for the 1st time in my life, I have no desire to celebrate the 4th. I'm ashamed of what we are doing.

Funny, isn't it? A country that was founded by a bunch of people who just wanted to be left alone, to run their own country, can't keep their sorry asses from going into other countries and mucking things up.

You know how England historically treated their own poorest citizens and worse their Scottish and Irish subjects, and other conquered countries?

Why can't they fix their country? Because the US won't let them.
source?
Raymond Flores Any Latin American history book.
@@raymondflores5176 "Killing Hope" by William Blum is a good source here.
Raymond have you noticed your name is in Spanish lol so you are part of this history you should look into your family tree and then do your own research this is the US taboo everyone knows it’s true but no one will talk about it. Don’t let people tell you what to believe research and make up your mind, but be willing to hear people outside of your bubble
Raymond Flores "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" John Perkins
And when we can’t over throw the elected government we put an embargo in place to ensure that the government isn’t successful.
From Caracas to Port Au Prince
Yep.
Bingo~!
And blame their “socialism” for their lack of success, even though all the big issues receive around US interference- both in the country itself, and in the oil prices they relied on to... would you know it- tru to fix their country.
And it looks like the US is trying to set themselves up to invade. Can’t have an independent Latin American country, after all. That challenges US hegemony. And of course, the US oil companies want in and control of that oil.
And in the meantime, as part of that setup, all the citizens hear is “but he’s killing his own citizens!”- as someone far smarter than me pointed out, Maduro could say the same of Trump, because state authorities (ie police) are killing citizens in the streets.
Beware the propaganda. It’s rarely accurate.
Just wait until they start selling governments mass surveillance tools, drones and AI-augmented weapons. From the US or from China. Much easier than coups or invasions. Drone swarms have already been deployed against people in Libya by the Turkish government. Chinese AI controlled aircraft just beat highly trained fighter pilots for the first time. If human pilots can end decades of resistance from the FARC with something as simple as the Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano, then the widespread use of drones and AI weapons will end all hope of resistance and with it the mirage of democracy. With information comes precision; that removes the threat of economic disruption.
Like @BeauOfTheFifthColumn said in reference to Trump, what stops governments from becoming openly tyrannical are the threats of a mass uprising, a widespread military mutiny, and economic disruption. (All negated in a colonial context, not coincidentally.) Those avenues are going away. Have been for a long time. Things got pretty tolerable for ordinary folks in the West and the East after WWII. Decent wages that covered the cost of living, protections in the workplace. The *only* reason for this was that governments had to put rifles into the hands of millions, in countries all over the world. Twice. That does something, physically but also psychologically. The beginning of the neoliberal era of declining and shrinking democracy coincided precisely with the aging of that generation (neutered by generous luxury) the Sino-Soviet split and the beginning of computerisation in the economy. That is not a coincidence. They will not have to put themselves in that perilous situation again.
Demand a moratorium on the next generation of arms. A popular campaign will arise to complement the serious concerns already being voiced by academics and others in The Guardian and elsewhere; it needs to hit the ground running and the time to build momentum is now.
Central americans suffered and died just so muricans can eat bannanas... am gonna leave it at that
It's not just about bananas. It's more to do with setting the "inferior" or "backward" countries back every time they start to show any sign of progress. This is the way the "exceptional" countries maintain their hegemony over the world. If only the citizens of those countries could be convinced that life in the US would not be the utopia they are led to believe it to be if only they could manage to get there. Independent media should make more of an effort to show these wannabe "dreamers" the reality of what it really is like to live in a country where you have to live on exploitative wages while having to endure constant humiliation at the hands of "patriots" who seem to think that it is their racial prerogative to treat them with contempt.
@@chitekwe look up the current murder rate for those countries then come back and seriously have a conversation about how those people would be dissuaded by some racism. 🙄
@@tammywilson1638 I know what the murder rate is in those countries, and a lot of it is because of corruption in "high" places. The question is who the corruptors are, and the selective reporting of where it exists. I also know what the murder rate and extrajudicial killings in the "civilised" world is. And before you point out that a lot of those killings are committed by immigrants, it is because the imbeciles who risk their and their children's lives by trying to illegally enter the US believe too literally the propaganda that over there they can literally do as they like. It's not the shiniest examples of humanity that are bewitched by that sort of propaganda.
@@cossaizy6309 If you understand what the American way of life is why in the name of anything worthwhile would you look up to an oligarchy that hurts so many globally? There is no such thing as manifest destiny or American exceptionalism if we are to be honest. We are all just humans on a planet...it shouldn't matter what square inch you are born on.
@@sues6847 when i say american way of life, i wasnt refering to reality, but what most americans precieve it, that every man was created equal and a right to life, freedom and liberty regardless of their background... these are the american ideals, whether they are in practice is a differant story
As a Guatemalan, I'm glad to see someone talk about pbsuccess. Every time I tell people about it, they look at me like I'm some sort of conspiracy theorist
Bryan Gonzalez tell them that it’s public information and very well documented if they care to look it up.
@@SerenityChaos1975, Mr. Gonzalez can tell them to look it up, but they won't do it. It runs contrary to their fantasy house of cards that it their Land of the Free, and the Home of Oreos with Double Stuf.
@Bryan Gonzalez As someone whose father experienced the consequences of these actions firsthand in Guatemala, Its good to know that there are people out there who are aware of the past actions of the U.S.
It can be pretty aggravating when you tell someone about the history/reason why we are in the predicament we are in, but they still say it's "the illegals" fault, or worse.....they say "we invaded you, get over it". They have never had to experience the violence that would make them take their families and flee from their home, and thus, they have no empathy.
I tell people to look up peer reviewed research and official info, but it falls on deaf ears. (*side note. It drives me nuts when praisers of trump use .com references that are clearly biased, E.g. "iownlibs.com" and state them as fact)

Why is the US the only scrutinized country when it comes to imperialism and interventionism bit every other Western civilized country in the West is given a pass?

Thank you for talking about this. As a latina, it makes me very angry when people only talk about the fact that many south american countries are shitholes without talking about how they became shitholes.
That's because the far right doesnt want to admit that they just dont want to admit that they're just scared of brown people.
I’m so sorry this keeps happening. As a white American, I’m ashamed and appalled, and I honestly have no idea how to stop it- but I swear that if I could fight by your side (not literally, I hope at least) then I would be there. This is a fight for freedom of humanity and our planet. This is so much more than just one country versus another. And the fact that America is an abusive spouse who keeps promising to change just to turn around and fuck shit up again is sick and also very telling
@@poopsymcloopsy I've seen it from less right wing people too. Less hateful, but still a total lack of knowledge of the history of these regions.

(Funny that both were screwed by the US) Some people wouldnt even know the difference between the two.

Beau, as a veteran, I've had people give me the "thank you for your service" line before, and while I've always tried to respond graciously, I never felt I really deserved the phrase. Frankly speaking, there are (many) professions that I feel do far more to actually benefit society, and in any case, I did my four and got out and really did nothing all that special while I was in. It helped me to make tuition at the university, though, so there's that.
However, I can say to you, quite unironically, for what you do here:
Thank you for your service.
You’re very gracious!! I still appreciate you and definitely appreciate Beau for educating us!!

My ancestors also fled their native lands to escape poverty, famine and wars that were purposefully orchestrated by a foreign empire.
When I see "them," I see us.
Yes.
That's right. As well as hangings, rapes, ovens, executions, and servitude. The difference is the port of entry. My ancestors were the "others" at one time
This. ❤
Amén, brother. My Irish ancestors came to America’s shores during the Famine. I look at the conditions that modern migrants face, the rhetoric they receive, the distrust and fear they receive, and I remember that my ancestors faced all of this, once. Those tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, that wretched refuse of a teeming shore; their children will be me.
It's funny how it's okay to swing a wrecking ball at our neighbors' houses just to make sure ours is the best on the block. But when the neighbors don't have anywhere to go and want to move in, we complain about it.
It's really fascinating how so many people will absolutely reject the United States' direct involvement in the situation in South America (not to mention other parts of the world) while supporting an administration that is actively continuing that legacy.
@popseed2 Or our interaction with indigenous people that inhabited the US long before the British began colonization.
It's all engineered too. There's a reason why our history books don't even mention so much of our actual history or offer sugar coated, guilt absolving versions of it.
I am very familiar with cognitive dissonance. And it is a fascinating trait in human beings.
And even here at home - well documented the NY City subway tests and the the ones done on US citizens in San Francisco, too, let alone the plutonium tests and STD ones done on African Americans. But it instantly gets pushed into collective amnesia as the US would never do that kind of thing - especially to its own. We're the good guys.
Many Americans still believe that if it's on the "news"it has to be true. They don't realize how much actual news they are denied therefore they are clueless. In the defense of such ppl...many are too busy trying to keep a roof over their head and food in their house to pay attention outside of the corporate media that brainwashes them daily.
@@majorgruber5925 Yeah, we're such good little guys, so obedient to our leaders. Very well trained.

Grey Aria,...Whenever anyone publicly suggests that america is ultimately responsible for many of the problems in other countries, right-wing media condemns it as, "blame america first", ideology. In reality, it is, accepting responsibility. ideology. You must never criticize the great white way. Anyway, the, "blame america first", paradigm, seems to have now shifted to, "fake news."

I knew my friend's husband was ignorant when he said, "The Nazis were on the left". And I knew he was an idiot when in response to Bernie's social democracy he said, "What about Venezuela?". It just shows how little he and others care about the substance of a situation.
Not only are Faux Nooze, Breitbart, et al foisting this insanity that Hitler was a leftist because the Nazi party was named "National Socialists", but they are conflating this into "Socialists are Communists"... therefore, the great enemies of WWII, Fascist Nazi Germany & Totalitarian Communist USSR, are one-in-the-same.
So, Progressive Democrats are "Nazi communists".
The stupidity is staggering.

We voted down and laughed out the fringe fundies way back when, then they started their "stealth" campaigns which were reported in major newspapers etc. but mostly ignored. No one's laughing now : they're still at war and we're desperately regaining everything from local schools to governor's mansion that should never have been lost. And of course they've long since quit stealth tactics; no need, the nation has succumbed.
I thought Reagan was frightening. Trump ... and Pence next in line is terrifying. As a Texan I apologize for damage done to school books past decades, thanks to California it was mitigated, publishers can now economically print smaller batches with minor differences. Wish us all best of luck.

I've actually had the same talking points thrown at me....the stupidity is so pervasive and illogical to me. I've come to think of it as a Physcopathic Plague, totally irrational.
I learned all of this as a childand I remember being ridiculed for speaking about it to friends, their parents and teachers. I really thought it was common knowledge but to hear you in this day and age having to explain it just reinforces the other belief I had on this, which is it's intentional ignorance if you don't know about the plank in our own eye. Thanks Beau.
Michael Sexton I too thought it was common knowledge maybe not the details but an understanding of our ongoing involvement in other countries/governments. Intentional ignorance, it explains a lot.
It is not common knowledge. US history as taught in the US is whitewashed, at least in the South. I'm 44 years old, and didn't know most of this until recently.
@@deeanna8448 the standards have improved significantly since then. The history being taught isn't so whitewashed. Our bigger problem is getting the students to actually care about the information and get them to understand why History matters. Social Studies has taken a back seat to the STEM subjects. We need our next generations to have an understanding of History/Social Studies, if we want them to be able to run a functioning government. What good is being knowledgeable in Science and Math, if we live in a society with a dysfunctional and dangerous government?

Thank you Beau for raising awareness about the Mayan genocide. My father managed to make it to the U.S. ....but not without losing his uncles and aunts. Although he came here legally, the process was long and risky. If his family had not been given the clear to go, he would have shared the same fate.
This should be a reminder to people to be more empathetic. Not everyone has the time or resources that my father had to be able to go through the legal process. Under trump, those policies have only become more stringent. You cant make legal immigration harder and not expect an increase of illegal immigration.
I've said it before with similar words. You can't solve the problem with better locks on your house, you just need to stop setting your neighbors' house on fire.
Hate to disagree, it's not just a thought. It's a vital history lesson.

Wow! You certainly did your homework. I’m in my 60’s and have been very political since 1968, so well aware of these facts. Americans are kept in the dark and fed a lot of bullshit. Unless they investigate, they simply don’t believe how viscous this government has been for decades. Republican or Democrat...doesn’t matter.

Pretty much spot on again. I wish the people I have to run into and function with on a daily basis understood one-fourth of what you do. They HATE me for being an outspoken progressive.
Yup, just pass along knowledge and someone who can guide them through critical thought exercises. Knowledge and ability to determine the stickiness of truth is something we need. Wishing you safe and good luck spreading knowledge along. Its always a difficult road.
This is so sad. America should take full responsibility for these people who are running from a mess it made.
Any country that makes a mess like this should be forced to take responsibility for said country's people.
@Respect/Walk What exactly are "we" doing to fix the problem? close the border, lock up migrants, cut funding to the immigration courts, require asylum seekers to stay in Mexico, require Mexico to stop migrants from even reaching the US/Mexican border or suffer tariff penalties, call them rapists and drug dealers, deny our own history and responsibilities? This is fixing the problem? You can't be serious. Your view of the US is a fantasy.
Respect/Walk America should pay hundreds of billions of dollars in damages to these war-torn countries, have the CIA disbanded, and imprison the scumbags that orchestrated all this mess for life, at least those who are still alive. Don’t you agree?
Respect/Walk Oh yes, I’m fully in support of South Africa taking responsibility for the disgusting apartheid government the white population ran for decades while oppressing it’s black majority population. Glad we agree.

Thank you, Beau. I literally just returned from an asylum hearing where my Salvadoran female client was threatened with death by MS-13 for helping the police... and the judge denied it, saying she hadn’t been persecuted, could relocate within the New Jersey-sized nation, and the government could protect her from the gang we helped create. I am shocked every time I hear this... the logic just isn’t there. Keep up the good work and keep shouting out the truth!
I had a political argument, where my adversary said “you can’t just blame ALL of central americas problems on the US!”. And it was at that moment I realized I was fighting a useless fight. I had just spent maybe 30 minutes explaining how many of the big issues in Central America are DIRECTLY due to US foreign policy, and his response? “Well we had to beat the communists!”

@@gepisar You may be right. Both are just another form of "Us vs them" when you get right down to it I suppose. As WiaF pointed out, I think it's a damn fine line. In my head, to some extent, Patriotism looks backwards (what we've done and claim to stand for that I'm proud of) and Nationalism looks forwards (what we're going to do because we're better than xyz). However, in the end, words only have the meaning each of us assigns to them. The point is, as someone who proudly served in the Corps and is a proud American...I'm more than a little less proud for having been forced to remove my blinders (think in non "us vs them" terms.

@@FNLNFNLN Sort of... This is a feature, not a flaw. That's the problem.
People like trump want there to be an influx. When it started dying down, they made policy changes to make it so more were coming instead of less. They need that constant influx so they can have that consistent boogeyman.
Think of it like the war on terrorism. You cannot really end terrorism... It's an unwinnable "war". What you can do however is reduce it to very limited instances. This does take some time but it's doable. You do so by not creating more. By that I mean you don't drop a bomb to kill one person that kills 20 innocents. While not all of those 20 innocents killed will have family members or people they know then become terrorists, some will. Even if none of those do the next bomb can and will create more. This is just feeding back into it.

Good you are making it clear that the gang MS13 originated here in the states and also informing our fellow Americans that OUR OWN GOVERNMENT is to blame for what we are going through now with the immigration problem....
Keep up the good work, informing our people here in the states Thank you!
Thank you for saying the truth, I get so tired of people saying why don't "they" stay in their own country. So many fail to understand American Greed and others caused this.
Thanks for the brief history lesson. You just proved so many "patriots" to be hypocrites. There was a song from my childhood that used to go "sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine..." Think about that folks! ✌🏾
It's going to be "because we keep messing with their shit" isn't it
It's probably true
Because that's accurate
Gid bless these poor children being victomized over and over. Throw trumps spoiled kids in tose cages and let. Ivanka get her hair dirty. Where are the christians when their needed to take care of these abused kids.
So what is that the excuse for every immigrant that breaks into another country? All the mid east muslims and africans breaking into European countries . same excuse??
@@franklopez2702 Yes most of Africa was colonized by Europeans and left in shambles
Got it, also check out "Untold History of the United States" Yep it's our fault. Btw, that doc is on Netflix.
Take a gander at this, I think you'll like it ua-cam.com/video/QgydTdThoeA/v-deo.html
Check out the book: ‘The Shock Doctrine’ by Naomi Klein.
@@dianevonahlefeld5906 I like Naomi Klein.
@@dianevonahlefeld5906 I thought of the same book watching this video
QueSeraSera2010 "The People's History of The United States by Howard Zinn" was required reading in a college *english* class. I started off thinking my professor was a crazy hippy/conspiracy theorist... now? I think it was the best history - I mean English - class I ever took.
The book is basically a comic book version of another of his works, which makes it braindead easy to read but *full* of examples of what this video talks about.
For ex, ever wonder how the hell we (the US) got the Philippines?
Oh Beau...I am literally crying. I cry with joy at the thought that you have taken the time to learn about the history of my native country El Salvador, and Central America in general. Joy because through your chanel platform you are able to reach many, so they can understand the origins of our current humanitarian crisis. U.S. interventionism has brought a lot of pain and sorrow to many countries. I cry also with a little sadness for all the people who just don't care and who when presented with the truth will turn a blind eye to it.
Up until Reagan came to power, and gave us amnesty in 1986, I too lived in fear of being deported. Now I see my Central American brothers and sisters without much hope given the current administration and it breaks my heart.
Thank you for speaking for the voiceless. Do not dismay. Keep up the good work.❤
My long departed father was a marine in the 1915 era. Always proud to have been a marine. When I was young, he would tell me "I was sent there to make the world safe for United Fruit, er, I mean Democracy". Proud to have been a marine, but no fool.
Bravo. Few people have the integrity to lay it out as it is. I am so fed up with the ignorance that so permeates our society.
Beau, you speak the real truth! So many of my fellow Americans are totally ignorant of these facts its scary.
Beau please do one of these for what the US has done in the Middle East!
The US is 100% responsible for EVERY SINGLE person their policies displace!
I will. I've got to figure out the best way to convey the differences in schools of thought of Islam first.
This makes my heart break. I taught English to Guatemalans for years. I love these sweet people. They don’t want to hurt anyone. This just want to protect their families.
Been waiting for this rebuttal. My people do NOT know our own history--especially when it comes to our foreign interventions. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in this type of history, 'How to Hide an Empire,' by Immerwahr. Reading it now and it is very readable.
Spot on! Another good read is 'The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman' by John Perkins. He covers this stuff in detail both in South America and the Middle East. I didn't learn about any of this in grade school but when I got to college my eyes were opened to the atrocities we commit under the guise of "spreading democracy." We're living in scary times...
Thank you brother for speaking the truth!! I am Salvadoran and what he has mentioned in this video is all true.
It's just shy of a fortnight into 2023, and once again I find myself returning to the sage advice of a man whose perspective has benefitted me so greatly. As devastatingly surreal as the subject matter is, any excuse to revisit the original workshed, and the warm nostalgia it incurs, still gives me a reason to wistfully smile.
Thanks For Sharing The Truth Beau. ALL Americans Need To Hear It.
It's not just a thought... It's the truth, and it needs to be recognized as such by all those people who like to say that "it's not our problem or responsibility to help everybody who comes here seeking refuge".
Chile was arguably the most stable, democratic country in Latin America through the XX century despite repeated US intervention, until when Allende was elected and effectively ran a good government for as long as the CIA was unable to top him off, thereafter spending tens of millions in order to get Pinchet in power, a monster who ruined Chile to this very day in far too many aspects for this comment alone to elaborate.
"Shock Doctrine", Klein, 2007.
Thorough account of Chile, Friedman & the Chicago Boys.

I did two tours in Honduras in the late 80's at the time completely oblivious to this truth. Was told we're building farm to market roads. It took a few years of research (pre I-net), but what I saw there is what turned e in to a peace veteran. Thank you for being so concise with this history.
Thank you, Beau, for the facts, and the courage it takes to deliver them.
Beau speak the truth man it's great to hear it from such a intelligent individual
Congratulations for you Beau. You are an honor for your people and your cou try. You speak the truth no matter what. Very very good activity and learning that you are doing. Congratulations from Spain the excolonial eximperial power
"knowledge is half the battle"
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
"America is the most powerful country on earth"
Makes sense, doesn't it
It's not only in central America, just take Chile as an example.
Thank you, Beau. I just so wish the people who really need to see this would. The dream of America is just a dream.
Well researched and presented. Excellent job. Greetings from Australia.
A lot of people have No Freaking Clue on how or why it got bad the way it is now but only assume the worst to dehumanize the asylum seekers. AWESOME job shining a huge light in truth telling the actual dark history of these countries. Thank you for your compassion towards humanity and keep making compelling videos!! Hopefully if more people know they may judge differently and it influences their actions to dismantle their hate/fears for these victims.
I recently read confessions of an economic hitman and it opened my eyes to all the ways US government has undermined 3rd world countries to further our country’s (and private businesses) interests while keeping others under our thumb. It’s truly disgusting. Thank you for educating people on this- It’s such an important aspect of our border issues.
Thank you Beau for this history lesson of the stupidity, short-sightedness and brutality of the US government.
We all benefit from cheap, abundant produce and goods. As a whole, we are complicit and the government and CIA get carte blanche on our behalf. Walmart is still full of customers. We will pay politically, economically and environmentally for the damage we've done and "sorry" doesn't cut it.
I keep telling people to shop as little at Walmart as you can and shop with awareness. Don't buy brands from koch bros- the list is immense- etc. I get it takes work n research but I been doing it most my life so it's just habit now. I also get how it is shopping in rural areas but every little bit matters. Shop thinking about what country's people you want to support also. Daily Kos has or had more info on smart shopping n the koch bros list.
Beau, the kind of history teacher and lessons we need in school
Thank you 🙏🏽
In our attempt to be #1 economically we cut holes in everyone's pockets, stole their wallets all while saying here's how we can help you. Now that our good deeds have come full circle all of a sudden we take issue with the blowback.
Thank you for this clear and honest explanation. I wish everyone in the United States were required to watch this. Maybe then they would stop hating the people coming to our Southern Border and begin to understand why they come. Maybe show some compassion and even take some responsibility.
I mean maybe Trumps wall will keep the bad guys out.
I'm talking about keeping the US outside the rest of the world.
A man who looks the complete opposite to what he is. Glad I took time to listen. Nice to see someone who knows whats going on and tells it like it is (and has been).
holy cow Beau; how do you know all this stuff. Im just racing through "Anatomy of Fascism" and I feel physically sick - ive just become sensitive to the "dog whistles" people i might call friends have been signalling. Im really struggling with it - am I being over sensitive, paranoid, or is it really there. Or are they just repeating things they think sound clever.. and thats just as bad. Head spinning. Its always so much worse than we first think. it occurred to me in the last few days; AOC is being vilified so when she is disappeared, no one will mind.... i mean, it couldn't happen here...right?

"A People's History of the United States", Howard Zinn, 1980.
"Shock Doctrine", Naomi Klein, 2007.

THEN, and only then, will you fully grasp our legacy & walther true nature of the issues we face.
Until The People take back this nation from the kkkleptocracy, change will be in the wrong direction.
@@julieannmyers8714 Thanks for the recommendations... added to the list. (I think Shock Doctrine was already there!)
Here's another tidbit. The CIA tried to assassinate Bob Marley.
@@sheilaghbrosky they actually did
Louder for the people in the back. We've messed up a lot of countries in our so called pursuit of freedom
Thanks. I've been trying to tell people these stories for decades. One of the biggest fears of our founding fathers was that the complacency of the citizenry could allow our government to wholesale engage in the kind of selfish geopolitics and colonialism of the European, Asian and Middle eastern powers. We let it begin long before I was born, but that does not absolve us of the responsibility to do something about it now or in future.
Great history talk! You are spot on with your assessment of root cause and effect. Thank you
I saw on the local news today , that bananas are going extinct due to climate change.
Karma?
Thank you Beau for the knowledge, you are a caring human being.
Regularly watching from Ireland. Keep up the good work. Always very informative.
I loved visiting when I got the chance years ago. Hello from the not trump part. Hope everything is okay over there.
@@Naa45702Thanks for the post. Yeah pretty good. Same problems as all over the globe - cant get a democratically elected government to actually do the will of the people. But hey, we'll keep pushing for a better way.. We need more people like Beau in every country. All the best man
question that is the beauty of the internet. It allows communities to form beyond boarders for better or worse. History shows people eventually unite and handle tyranny in unpleasant ways if not solved diplomatically. I don’t want to see it but it’s looking like it’ll happen all over.
@@Naa45702 Sadly yes. But we can only try
My family immigrated from Panama in the 1940s. My grandfather worked for the United Fruit Company. We heard this name often growing up. I had some understanding of what was going on in those countries by paying attention to news & other things; my family never talked of it. Thanks for the info. I just found you & I'm impressed.
Thank you so much man for doing these kind of videos, I'm from those countries and you pretty much summed it up, I'm so depressed with what is going on now a day here in the US that your videos give me a little hope that the common US citizen will one day open his eyes and know the truth about we the migrants
Don't worry my friend, we're out here and we know the reality!
Right on the money Beau, as usual. The only thing that keeps me sane is to think that the way you analyze things, it's more common than we think. Good over evil always.
Wow finally somebody with the truth. We need more people to learn the unsweetened truth.
well said. i am glad you gave some true history. when i was coming up in school we were not taught any of this. our grades depended on the lies we were taught. i have spent my entire adult life relearning history. true history. i am 66 and am still relearning.
I’ve been saying this for the last year or two after learning about the banana wars and how deep it really went.
Hey Beau, I don't normally comment on these blogs, however, when I have learned something or when someone is able to penetrate my intellectual
BS I stop and listen. It has taken me a while to learn to live my own truth and to recognize those who do as well. That's why I subscribed. Keep doing what your doing. Thanks
Should be required viewing nationwide. Good job.
Once again you are helping me understand what's been going on in the world, and it explains an awful lot! Thnx!
"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...." It is well past time to dissolve the political bands that hold us down under the folly that is the current form of government here in the US.
@Asha You write something like this, it worked in 1776, it'll work now.

We like our freedom but we don't think anybody else should be free.
Its hard to fix their country when foreign interest dictate what happens.
Dude, you are KILLING it with this content. You’re sharing the cognitive load of a movement. Thank you, you’re an inspiration.
Excellent historical compilation!!
This video answered a lot of the questions I have about why things are the way they are in Central America
Once again, thank you Beau for another thoughtful, and insightful commentary.
Truths that need to be said. Thank you.
WAKE THEM UP, BEAU!!! You Are The Man! (With the exception of the whole "Beau" instead of "Bo" thing. This is Murica, Bo. LOL!!!
Thank you sir for telling truth because we the people will never see this on main stream media!
