- Democracynow.org - Voters go to the polls in Guatemala on Sunday to elect a new president after a popular uprising led to President Otto Pérez Molina’s resignation and jailing. We speak with journalist and historian David Talbot, author of "The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government," about the role Allen Dulles and his brother, then-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, played in the CIA’s 1954 coup in the country, the ramifications of which are still being felt. "The CIA and Allen Dulles told Eisenhower after the Guatemala coup, 'Oh, it was a clean coup. You know, hardly anyone died,'" Talbot said. "But the fact is, tens of thousands of people died in the killing fields of Guatemala as a result of that coup, and that violence continues today."

I have this book, read it, and it’s an engrossing read. Dulles was certainly a POWERFUL figure in early 20th century world history. The title of the book is not incorrect.
The American Himler and his cv is quiet bloody isn't?
I read it also, very eye opening
Salute All Truth Teller's and All Activists and True Journalists. 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
“The 1954 Coup in Guatemala is still being felt today.” Same the 1963 Coup in America is also still being felt today.
Pretty much is all the CIA does is overthrow governments. Nazi's.
United Fruit-supported by Dulles-stole land from Guatemala, which it "payed" 16 cents / acre which it did not use. This land was to be returned to the Guatemalan people, which is when the CIA intervened. This is, I believe, detailed in Ronald Wright's "Time Among the Maya"...
Besides the Invasion, the AngloSaxons took them away Belize which was part of Guatemalans...
It was a family business. The Dulles brothers' grandfather, John Foster, another secretary of state, played a key part in overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy.
Soy Guatemalteco y toda esa historia y atrocidades cometidas por la CIA a nuestro pueblo no las olvidamos, ya que en mi familia hubo hombres que fueron sacrificados por defender y mantener la democracia y la libertad!! Viva Guatemala y Centro America!!
Remember the lands "used to belong to the Germans"...
Many things happened in Guatemala...
3:27 hi I am from Haiti and you are saying a lot a lot a lot and I appreciate you... I think you are helping me understand why shit is so fucked now I can feel to a closer stage where we can fix things
CIA is like a kinda international version SS and Gestapo put together. And Dulles is basically Himmler if not worse
the 4th Reich
JFK shaking hands with the very man who would later orchestrate his assassination 0:55.
You are spot on. At that scene, we all wish to say, be careful Mr. President, that handshake holds a snake.
That is what I believe is most likely the case. And the sinister nature of this man, to smile and smooth-talk while planning his dastardly schemes. Truly the personification of evil on earth.
Not hard to believe.
Wow how brutal all because he thought about the people , how sad we're monsters not just bad
This hits differently now
He killed kennedy
correct.
@stddisclaimer8020Kennedy fired him after the failed bay of pigs invasion and he was obv a well connected man. I'm sure he wasn't pleased about getting canned esp considering he was the founder of the company 🤔
@stddisclaimer8020 that's usually how it works resign instead of getting fired. But after the failed invasion someone's head had too roll and seeing how Kennedy blamed the Cia and dulles was the director he had to go either way
@stddisclaimer8020 oh I didn't realize I was talking with a noted historian thanks for I enlightening me oh wise one 😂
@stddisclaimer8020 well having watched videos on dulles and the kind of man he was ,i wouldn't be at all surprised if he seeked revenge privately while playing it cool publicly. The man ordered coups like we order breakfast lol. And the Oliver stone movie didn't paint dulles in the beat light.
This man was a menace to history and should be remembered in History along with Stalin and Hitler
Wall Street Gangsters
And that is why Kennedy die on 63
I think there was thinking that Hitler's fascism was a much better mode than Casto's communism. I think that many Americans were seduced and fooled by this and were sympathetic to Hitler's ideology...not knowing the evil trajectory the dictator was going into Hindsight is definitly 20/20.
Na, he was going back to the gold and silver standard taking civilian bankers out of the game. So…..he was going to strip power from the most corrupt and powerful people in the world.
@@shafts2447 Wrong, he threatened the CIA and imperialism. That's why he was killed.
@@quronmccovery881both are true
Allen Dulles is running my case right now well they operate they same do as they please
Give us the names of the top men at United Fruit Company.
SKULL&BONES BULLSHIT.
Bingo!
Great Book!
Dulles was behind the assassination of Kennedy
It was either the same day or a day after and Dulles hardly could contain his joy after JFK was murdered. It was all rather obvious. One big coup.
Very much did a fine coup . No police patsy that never got a chance to live. Plausible deniability no matter how many people know which is anyone . Obviously everyone that seen the Zeebrugge film knows or should
Get his book on audible, it'll change your perspective of everything.
Dulles pure Evil
That certain gentleman was evil personified. I feel nauseous thinking about him.
Where is part 1?
Where the hell is part 1?
The Good shepherd ☺️
Sorry I’m 2 years late 😂
Search this channel for "The Rise of America’s Secret Government", which is part one, and "A CIA Tie to JFK Assassination", which is part three.
Allan Dulles was the mastermind behind JFKs assassination.
Italy -48' , iran-53' , Guatemala-54'
And we go on to the bingo.😢😢😢😢
Could the FBI agent have been Oswald
Oswald was a patsy. The real killers got a way with it. Mafia and the exiled Cubans had a hand in the assassination.
They all are agents for the masters.
Watch the BBC Special "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" for the answer. Kennedy was going to fire Dulles as head of the CIA, and then Dulles ended up on the Warren Commission...
@@SpotterVideo Not a big deal, but Kennedy actually did fire him beforehand. So a disgruntled, former employee who didn't like Kennedy led the investigation. Not saying anyone did anything wrong, but... that's interesting.
@@trone3630 Thanks for that point. You are correct.
Amy 🙏 Super 💯
Fidel Castro 😎 Breath Taking WOW❤️ The 🌎 Is Enchanted 🌟 With His Presence Che Guevara 😎❤️ Revo The 🌎😉
Che Guevara was no hero he was a murder and scumbag
I find it hard to believe they "tried" to assassinate Castro. If they wanted to they could of. I think they made him out to be a devil and just kept putting their hands out for more funding from Congress.
this is insane to learn about now, what will we find out in sixty years they are hiding now? lol
Sickening
Beautiful life and heritage😢
Sometimes Amy is right!
She's ALWAYS right as she lets people talk.
Allan Dulles would have made an excellent Cabinet Choice in Donald Trump's Cabinet. He would be green with envy at the idea of annexing Canada or taking back the Panama Canal. Ending Democracy is the wish of every Autocrat. Once you realize that the CIA was created to protect Capitalism and not Democracy everything fits like a perfect foreign policy puzzle.
and jfk
Is their a companion show called "Republic Now"? On NPR?
I liked this book a lot and there is a female author her name escapes me she has several books about the CIA that are awesome
whitney webb
Is this second part the final part, or are there more parts?
There are three parts. Part one is "The Rise of America’s Secret Government...", part two is the one on this page, and part three is called "A CIA Tie to JFK Assassination...".
USA, "wild West" forever. 🌎💰💰💰💀💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥
dazed and confused so long have to save this 1
But what's really disgusting is the fact that Americans think the assassination of John F. Kennedy was bad thing?
An assassination of a US president could never be a bad thing.
The US will never be on the right side history. As they say A Dog's Tale can never be straightened.
This dude looks like a college professor, Professor James Moriarty to be precise.
Allan Dulles or the American Himler has quiet a bloody cv.
Even his stash is telling.
Medieval Barons? WTF?
He killed jfk
The SS.
the only cool stunt that the company ever pulled was the rescue of the Dalai Lama and paying the vegas gambling dept of his brother wally lama
Is that the same United Fruit from the Godfather 2 ? I still remember ''Chiquita Banana'' of the 1950s era movie house fame ? /
Next on Democracy Now “When the CIA coup the Ukrainian government in 2014”.
Shh those segments have been lost.
Sounds like an interesting book, but who on Earth invents such frivolous titles for non fiction, as if it were the latest Frederick Forsyth novel ? Editors really can't resist adding a cheesy sauce to increase sales....
Are you going to cry?
@@Seraph89_ OP does make a good point tho! that Title is cheddar!
It is quite fitting though
Steed: I admit that title attracted me (which was its intent, of course) but the substance of the book is superb.
It's an awsome title
Castro was never a US hero. These old hippies are hilarious.
Elite global
Dulles also caused world war 2
Devil.
This is a crazy video
And just maybe JFK
still waiting for that democracy
Im a io in a certain group and agency told me flat out dulles and johnson hoover. Texas oil men big group all about to lose money and power.
Democracy never its a consitutional republic was anyway now majority rules and enough mony makes a majority brainwashinng
Democracy -system of government by the population or elected representatives.
pro castro? what? confusing
just wondering, how many people did castro murder?c
How many have the american government killed?
Creep template.
he seems like a Kennedy apologist.
That's I thought too...
Kennedy was with Allan Dulles. So in short words, Kennedy knew about the Invasion of CIA in Guatemala?
Somewhat. Who knows? They must also realise at some level that the naked truth might be too much of a shock for fragile minds over there.
@@CavingIn2022
oh thank you.
I thought that Kennedy knew about Guatemala and he just put it aside this case.
Thanks for the data.
@@xavierlehnhoff88 yea and so what the guy got his head blown off for not following these psychopaths ideas Kennedy was a modern day profit just like trump 😊
This is the guy that helped kill JFK!
This guy is pure evil..those eyes are deep and dark .. f.. to think his ilks live till today snd in control
That is exactly how he comes across to me when I look at a picture of him. Like you say, that deep dark evil look on his face--Allen Dulles, that is. At 0;55 as he smiles while shaking hands with Kennedy, Allen Dulles' smile is really a frown up side down.
