America Hates Democracy
BackDemocracies Overthrown by America since WWII: 1953 - Iran "OVERTHROW OF PREMIER MOSSADEQ IN IRAN " November 1952 - August 1953 http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/mideast/iran-cia-intro.pdf http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/mideast/041600iran-cia-index.html ****************************** 1954 - Guatemala "In the early 1950's, the Central Intelligence Agency directed covert operations aimed at removing the government of Jaco Arbenz Guzman from power in Guatemala."

Suharto slaughtered 500,000+ so called 'Communists' in a bloodbath that was virtually ignored in the Western press at the time (but fairly acknowledged now - the press tended to focus on Pol Pot's massacre of Capitalist sympathisers). The CIA & MI6 sent death lists to Suharto (something which was not only revealed in interviews with US embassy officials, but also in declassified U.S. State Dept. documents which the CIA fought to keep secret). The documents show that the CIA also requested funding of 50 million rupiahs for Kap Gestapu, an organisation that orchestrated a secondary fake 'comunist coup. The CIA reply - however - is still Top Secret: U.S. Officials' Lists Aided Indonesian Bloodbath in '60s Washington Post May 21, 1990 (search for this article on washingtonpost.com using archive search) ***** Declassified documents from a State Department Volume covering Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines in the years 1964-68: Page 386 "Martens sent a letter to the editor of the Washington Post on June 2, 1990, in which he stated: "It is true that I passed names of the PKI leaders and senior cadre system to non-Communist forces during the six months of chaos between the so called coup and the ultimate downfall of Sukarno." Martens tried to defend himself, saying that these names were publicly available anyway & also claims that he did so without getting Ambassador Marshal Green's permission, but as the declassified document shows, he also sent the lists to the State Department & sent updates of the lists, showing "the fate of PKI leaders"; "Between December 17, 1965, and August 10, 1966, the Embassy sent the Department three airgrams listing PKI members. On December 17, 1965, the U.S. Embassy in Djakarta transmitted to the Department airgram A-398 that contained as enclosures lists of the PKI leadership and a compilation on the fate of PKI leaders. The airgram was drafted by Martens ...." AND Page 387 "On August 10, 1966, Ambassador Green sent airgram A-74 to the Department, drafted by Marten and approved by Masters, which provided as an enclosure another update of the fate of PKI leaders." "This Airgram, which was signed by Green, indicated that: "A sanitized (i.e. Embassy attribution removed) version of the lists in A-398 has been made available to the Indonesian Government last December (1965) and is apparently being used by Indonesian security authorities who seem to lack even the simplest overt information on PKI leadership at the time..." http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB52/exhibit2.pdf ***** Page 379-380 of the same document reveals that on Dec 2 1965, Marshall Green endorsed a secret 50 million rupiah payment to an individual referred to as 'Malik' from the Kap-Gestapu movement leading the repression. "This is to confirm my earlier concurrence that we provide Malik with fifty million rupiahs requested by him for the activities of the Kap-Gestapu movement....The Kap-Gestapu activities to date have been important factor in the army's program, and judging from results, I would say highly succesful......There is no doubt whatsoever that Kap-Gestapu's activity is fully consonant with and coordinated by the army." Note that that item 180 at the end of page 380, which is possibly the CIA response to this proposal (as it is a memorandum from CIA Directorate of Operations Colby to the Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs Bundy) is FULLY WITHELD; "Indonesia 2/2-State Department Liaison (1959-1966); Secret. 4 pages of source text not declassified." http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB52/exhibit2a.pdf More on U.S. support for Suharto: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB242/index.htm ****************************** 1973 - Chile http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB8/nsaebb8i.htm http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB110/index.htm
