7. You're right! There's also the barbaric brutality of the US-supported right-wing regimes

which have been sought since the 1950's, when the US actually overthrew a beloved, effective reformer President, Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, because he dared to think of the well-being of his people first, before the profit of the US corporation, United Fruit, which became the Chiquita corporation many years later. Well over 200,000 souls were deliberately stolen in the blood feast starting in 1954, throughout the Ronald Reagan accelerated genocide in Guatemala at the hands of his heavily financed (through US tax dollars) monster dictator, Efrain Rios-Montt.
