Che battled 3 U.S.-backed DICTATORS = Uncle Sam's 'democracy'

[CHE with an AK]

"We should not allow the word 'democracy' to be utilized apologetically to represent the dictatorship of the exploiting classes."

— Che Guevara, 'Guerrilla Warfare: A Method', 1963

American right-wingers like to ignore the inconvenient fact that Che Guevara battled 3 U.S.-backed dictators on 3 separate continents (Batista/Cuba, Mobutu/Congo, & Barrientos/Bolivia).

The right-wing also likes to avoid acknowledging that Che's radicalism was spawned from living in Guatemala during the 1953 overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz by the CIA (Operation PBSUCCESS) on behalf of Secretary of State Dulles and the United Fruit Company.

As the Cuban Revolution and Che proved, when given the decision of backing a democratic government that represents the interests of the majority of a nation’s citizens or a fascist right-wing dictator who will protect the business interests of the United States = the U.S. will always chose the latter. And as many of the recent U.S.-backed dictators and oligarchic "Royal Families" in the Arab World continue to feel the pressure from their people; it's important to remember that the deposed Hosni Mubarak in Egypt was only one in a long line of U.S. government backed tyrants ...


The historical list of U.S.-backed dictators includes:

René Barrientos (Bolivia), Fulgencio Batista (Cuba), Hassanal Bolkiah (Brunei), P.W. Botha (South Africa), Humberto Branco (Brazil), Chiang Kai-Shek (China), Jean Claude Duvalier (Haiti), King Fahd (Saudi Arabia), Francisco Franco (Spain), Ferdinand Marcos (Philippines), Hosni Mubarak (Egypt), Islam Karimov (Uzbekistan), Teodoro Mbasogo (Equatorial Guinea), Sese Seko Mobutu (Zaire), Ríos Montt (Guatemala), Manuel Noriega (Panama), Maximiliano Martínez (El Salvador), Georgios Papadopoulos (Greece), Shah Pahlevi (Iran), Augusto Pinochet (Chile), António Salazar (Portugal), Anastasio Somoza (Nicaragua), Alfredo Stroessner (Paraguay), General Suharto (Indonesia), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic) and Jorge Videla (Argentina) ... just to name a few


While the historical list of democractically elected leaders who the U.S. helped overthrow includes:

Salvador Allende (Chile), Jacobo Arbenz (Guatemala), Víctor Estenssoro (Bolivia), João Goulart (Brazil), Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Mohammad Mosaddegh (Iran) and Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana) ... just to name a couple


Hence, the real reason why Uncle Sam had to ensure that Guevara was killed was because Che stood as a heroic example that overthrowing the U.S.-backed tyrants and boot-licking-puppets-of-death was possible! The U.S. gives lip service to "democracy", but what they really seek are brutal lap dog stooges who will let America rape their homeland for a financial cut = like Fulgencio Batista who killed 20,000 civilians before fleeing Cuba with $300,000,000 in payoffs and $700,000,000 in fine art, after Che defeated him at the Battle of Santa Clara.




"The (U.S.) slogan 'we will not allow another Cuba' hides the possibility of perpetrating aggressions without fear of reprisal, such as the one carried out against the Dominican Republic or before that the massacre in Panama — and the clear warning stating that Yankee troops are ready to intervene anywhere in America where the ruling regime may be altered, thus endangering their interests."

— Che Guevara, one of his last letters, April 16, 1967

Yea this is nothing new. The US will do whatever it takes to ensure it's interests are secured around the world. They preach freedom and liberty yet, back dictators who torture their people while restricting their freedoms.

They have an elitist attitude that only Americans deserve freedom and liberty. Now and again that small group will expand to include Europeans.

Its a sad fact that those brave souls in the middle east are struggling to change. Equally sad is that these protests and revolutions may not be enough to overthrow every US back dictator and they certainly won't be the last that the US government installs.:hammersickle::che::hammersickle:

They have an elitist attitude that only Americans deserve freedom and liberty.
You are over-generous, comrade. The ruling class publicly declare that Americans are unique in their deserving of freedom and liberty, but, in practice, what Americans get is slavery on a looser chain.

Che Guevara was hunted by Latin American dictators: documents
Global Research (http://www.globalresearch.ca/), October 8, 2007
AFP

VALLEGRANDE, Bolivia (AFP) - Latin American dictators of the 1960s coordinated efforts in their attempt to track down Cuban-Argentine Marxist guerrilla Ernesto 'Che' Guevara , killed by Bolivian forces in 1967, according to previously secret documents a researcher showed AFP.

The cooperation pre-dates Operation Condor, the secret plan hatched by South American dictators in the 1970s to eliminate their political opponents in the region.

An AFP reporter saw the copy of a document, dated October 3, 1966, of a confidential report from the head of Paraguay's secret services informing his Brazilian counterpart of Guevara's arrival in South America.

"It is the first time that we find the name of Che Guevara linked to the dictatorships before the elaboration of Operation Condor," said Martin Almada, a Paraguayan researcher who in 1992 uncovered documents showing the existence of Operation Condor.

"Che Guevara left Corumba (a Brazilian town on the border with Bolivia) under the false name of Oscar Ferreira," read the document shown AFP.

Guevara had a beard and was sailing aboard the Victoria dos Palmares, which was likely to arrive at dawn. The document warned: "he is in charge of a mission."Almada, 70, was detained and tortured in the 1970s during the dictatorship of Paraguay's General Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989).

He was key in uncovering the "Archives of Horror," five tons of paperwork that Paraguay's secret service abandoned after Stroessner was toppled in 1989 that proved the existence of Operation Condor.

Almada said he only recently discovered the Che document "because I have many documents and have not finished examining them all."

Guevara, the iconic Argentine-born doctor-turned-guerrilla leader that fought in the Cuban revolution, was convinced that armed tactics were necessary to uproot the social and economic divide in Latin America. He led a small clutch of rebels in Bolivia for 11 months trying to spread revolution, but found little support.

The Bolivian army and two Cuban-American US Central Intelligence Agency agents captured Guevara in the village of La Higuera, and summarily executed him on October 9, 1967. Guevara was 39.

The military governed Brazil from 1964 to 1985, Bolivia 1964-1982, Uruguay 1973-1985, and Argentina 1966-1973 and again 1976-1983. Chile came under military dictatorship from 1973-1990.

"There are no borders in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, because a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory, just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us."
