Surely some of those who still don't know can take the time to read these Wikipedia reader's digest versions of what the heck happened:
1953 Iranian coup d'état

1954 Guatemalan coup d'état

Thank you for being patient enough to try to get the idea through to some who have resisted learning that this Mom and Apple Pie country, after the nearly total genocide of millions of native people, got really organized in its systematic take-downs of ALL leaders who haven't put our business/military interests ahead of their own people's needs and well-being. It's not pretty, but they don't seem to have any idea that the winners of conflicts ALWAYS write the histories of what happened in ways that portray themselves as the aggrieved parties, the heroes, and the god-chosen winners.
A lot of people gave up trying to lead others to the light long ago, since they clearly are both ignorant and indifferent, don't know, don't care that they don't know.
It's possible some will still have some areas of questioning left open, and will start trying to look for the answers. If that happens, the answers will appear.
No going "home" to ignorance. Can't be done without a lobotomy.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
