The US perfected the art of the coup to push out leaders it didn’t like and install leaders it did. In this story I go through some of the major US-led coups to explore how the US rose to power and stayed there.

This is why I laugh when I hear about American politicians complaining about other countries trying to “interfere” in their elections.
100%
Well… that’s America for ya
@@Feashis Absolutely
@@Feashis Bullies and the rest of the world watched and enabled this arrogance to grow beyond measure
Young leaders particularly in Africa are now standing up against this, and I fear that they will be assassinated or toppled to suit America's foreign policy
Who gave America the Big Brother Status?
Americans still think every illegal is Mexican for some reason
Part of being American is thinking your country is Superman but slowly realizing that it’s actually Homelander
There’s a way you Americans can stop the government and is if you do what the first generation of Americans did to the British in 1775
jingoism!
True
Well its all good and fine when the citizen thinks he is being benefited, it's not good tho when you realize you have nothing, and USA billionaires have it all
Sorry, what’s Homelander ?
You should include Indonesia. There are declassified CIA documents showing the CIA involvements in Indonesia's 1965 coup. In 1966-67 US gained most control over Indonesian oil & minerals explorations, most notably the once biggest gold mine on earth: the Grasberg gold mine in Papua, Indonesia. Just only recently Indonesia gets 51% share of this mine, previously Indonesia only got less than 4% 👍🏻🇮🇩🏆
He excluded a lot. He is a textbook fig leaf.
100% correct: President Suharto's 30 year reign and the Coup against Indonesia's first democraticaly elected President Sukarno was heavily backed by CIA money and weapons.
@@eimsbush05 Nope. I live in a small Indonesian city called Jogjakarta. Here the infamous Allen Lawrence Pope detained after his B25 bomber (if im not mistaken the bomber type) was shot down by an Indonesian Air Force P51 Mustang during her bombing raid in Ambon island back in the 60s. Even we have a monumental diorama on that excact event, and btw back then in the 90's when i was a kid my dad bring home a pair of dog pup and he named 'em Allen & Pope.
@@eimsbush05what does this mean?
Memang perlu di katakan bahwa tanpa CIA Soeharto nggak mungkin nyorot kekuatan
Ths video did a great disservice to Gaddafi. Not one mention of the fact that the coup revolved around the use of their own currency and not the dollar. Ask HRC.
Single phone call by Lady Rothschild to Hilary Clinton complaining Tut Tut about Gadaffi's Pan African bank to compete with the Rothschilds financing everybody. Hilary couldn't jump high enough to take down Gaddaffi ! And now millions of sub Saharan Africans have migrated thru unbordered Libya to Europe to go onto social benefits.
Ask kissinger.
johnny boy is an apparatchik propagandist of usa leftists
The Gold Dinar that he was going to put into play with the coalition from Africa. Debt based system can have that, so now he becomes a “terrorist.”
@@0onpoint more lies
You didn't mention that education, electricity, medical insurance, and gas were free during Qaddafi's rulership. The reason why they wanted him out was that he tried to establish an African Union which has a currency connected with gold reserved instead of the petrodollar.
Thank you
Gaddafi was taking great xare of his people. Free electricity free housing free education free medical support in marriages support to women biggest canal system in desert ... list goes on
His Story Producer, Rafaela Siewert (with the second billing under his own name), is literally the Associate Podcast Producer for the Council on Foreign Relations. That's why the video does a ridiculous job framing the US's coup against Ghaddafi as a fight against terrorism. And why he says "no one really knows the reason the US decided to use a coup" for every modernish coup. We all know it's economic still, and Ghaddafi was a Pan-African Unity supporter who wanted to create a Pan-African currency that would undermine the US dollar.
If life was so great under Qaddafi's reign then why were so many countrymen murdered and why was his body desecrated by his people?
@@thedick8243 ight, then explain why Libya is such a terrible place now?
It baffles me that many Americans still believe their government is doing only good by getting involved in foreign conflicts.
You know the media isn’t going to outright tell the truth to American citizens.
Because in school and TV growing up it is imbedded to us.
the current Israel palestine situation shows how indoctrinated they are.
They’re literally in the comments of this video hating in the replies, like dude have you watched the whole thing, at this point you’re choosing to be ignorant
They are not but they are powerless to stop it
Actually under Gaddafi, Lybia was a pretty good society. Under Gaddafi, Libya had free healthcare, free education for both men and women, free housing, and ultra-cheap electricity. Libya under Gaddafi had some of the highest rates of life expectancy, literacy, and per capita GDP in all Africa.
I don't know much about Gaddafi and also used to think he was a completely bad guy, but he made me realise how the United Nations was built in a completely unfair way for the majority of the world, it is mainly benefitting a handful of countries who have more powers than others, namely the US & Russia.
This video was very insightful and @JohnnyHarris I truly thank you for what you do!
Videos like this and the conversations they encourage give me hope that we can fix humanity's trajectory and eradicate the hate we have for one another.
If it were voting wo veto, the US eould have bought every voice 😢. In this circumstances fair voting is not possible.
UN created by bankers
As a Chilean I feel sad that the military coup in my country was not presented. Letting history out is one of the few ways to make amends for the brutal damage the US has inflicted on my people.
Yeah, the same for Brazil
there is just no way there is "no solid evidence" of US government involvement in Pinochet's coup. "Operation Condor" is a historical fact accepted even by the US agencies.
There should be a whole video about the Plan Condor only
There are those of us who know and remember, across the world. But also, these voices are actively being silenced. We're at a turning point in history and im very worried we've made the wrong turn.
Have you ever read 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' by John Perkins? It is a must for every anti imperialist and general history enthusiast
Many Americans still don’t know what the U.S. did to other countries. Thank you for this video, it’s important we talk about history even if we don’t like it.
For Americans this is a new revelation to them.
Naw we know but to stomp out communism we had to we couldn’t do boots on the ground and risk a nuclear war
@@just-some-muslim
Most people are ignorant by design. Who benefits from the general populace being incompetent?
The irony is just monumental. In a country that literally non stop goes on about freedom and democracy and the dangers of brain washing, they are the most brainwashed people by far.
@@just-some-muslim Only for those that have not been paying attention. Sadly, that is most of us. "Ignorance is bliss" should be our motto.
You only missed some 40-50 more coups. And also managed to mischaracterize most of those presented.
Other than that, everything's spot on!
The outro was the most significant thing about this video. What's the point if you don't include important details. Can't tell if it's intentional white wash or just plain lazy.
The intro is very clear. Failed and unconfirmed coups are not presented. If its not on the list, its probably not confirmed. You should go recheck your sources, most likely you got a bunch of things wrong
@@ziglaus no, most was confirmed, they just don’t want to truly show the extent of crimes. Even these coups were heavily white washed. Making American history easier to digest for Americans when truly it’s more insidious than that
What you expect this guy is an American that tries to minimize the guilt and sins of his country as much as possible! The stories that this guy tells is a sugar-coated version of the vices that the US has committed! He didn’t even list 1/10th of the coups and assassinations that the US has done around the world! The true scope of the US’s crimes is much more vicious and evil than what he is willing to reveal! But then again if he reveals too much they would take his videos down like so many other videos that have already been taken down for revealing too much about the mafia godfather’s crimes!
@@ziglaus Wikileaks and declassified CIA documents say otherwise. This is just another whitewashing psyop
Let's not forget our own corporate coup that happened in 63'
And 2020
@@bilindamueller3154That was facilitated by the fact that 2018-2019 regulations were slashed in every sector (so severely that even the greedy ghouls in charge begged Trump to stop bcs his actions would destabilize the entire industry for years to come) Regulatory bodies were gutted & their boards filled with sycophants & ghouls from the very industries they were meant to regulate (including the CDC. So bad that legit members fled in protest refusing to take part in harming the public by fully obliterating Covid task forces, data collection, removing health protocols and guidelines from their database entirely. Not just for covid but now for MANY public health issues that could lead to missed work if citizens follow proper instructions) These changes were thought to go under the radar and lead to EVENTUAL slow full corporate takeover but when covid hit full force BCS of the previously mentioned gutting & continued meddling with proper mitigation (also done to boost corporate profits) everything came crashing down swiftly bcs all of the rules regs & precautions previous gen’s put blood sweat and tears into winning for us to prevent everything we are dealing with now had been carelessly done away with. Trump was the bull in the China shop unleashed by corporate ghouls both foreign and domestic with the aid of multiple dictators who not only financially profit just like our ghouls, but also the added benefit of the swift destabilization of a once super power.
Can’t find anything on it link?
What happened?
@@benpoke daily Plaza in Dallas
In general, the people who benefitted from these coups were American corporations at the expense of the civilians living in those countries. Also, these coups often crushed political movements that may have increased democracy and/or improved the living conditions of the poor and working class people of those countries. These coups are why Central America is such a dangerous place to live today and why so many people are fleeing to America. The U.S. govt, for the benefit of American corporations, is responsible for today's migrant crisis at the border. Greed.
And that is why American politics is working so hard on convincing the population that outside ppl bad. So that they can crush them even harder.
Yes the poor civilians never benefit ever realize thugs are running the show
And the poor soldiers that "served" their country.
Funny how America fought for independence from Britain because of their colonialism and then went on to do this stuff
@@markironside9818 I mean after that with the Native American and the Black people. Can't say I'm surprised
As a Mexican I’m disappointed you didn’t mention the 1913 coup on President Madero which was carried out with support by the U.S. ambassador to Mexico in order to install General Victoriano Huerta. It instigated a second phase of the Mexican Revolution in which all the warring factions united in order to overthrow Huerta from power.
Successful you won that round, now we just do buissiness and kinda wanna turn you into the new China.
Yeah... That turned into a shit show. "The Ten Tragic Days." After everything that went down Madero actually thought he would be fine after stepping down, exiled but fine... He thought very very wrong.
He didn’t have to do that 😂 quite down Mexicans
The sheer amount of latinx people that have been victimized in one way or another buy the US government over the last 80 years is absolutely staggering. And this happened in both foreign and domestic settings. I’m not just referring in terms of coups but anytime the US has been able to exploit something for the benefit of the country, they have gone for it regardless of any moral objections. Truly it does bring me great fear of what my country is capable of and makes me realize that I’m not built for a world that is capable of such things. I don’t want to support that kind of predatory behavior. Ofc this is only par the course for us a a species and as social creature. I just don’t wanna associate with it any longer should it come to that once again.
@@nickmartin5568 please don’t use the term “Latinx” cuz it’s cringe. Stop trying to anglicize my native language!
hilarious that Dulles is your thumbnail for government officials involved. He should be considered Mr.Coup
Initially, I read it as "McCoup"; works either way.
Please do one on Chile! Its story gave my goosebumps.
You forgot about Dr Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana in 1966. One of the most important coup of the African continent.
And Sukarno in Indonesia. They killed a MILLION people for literally no reason except appearing on a CIA list...
he has not mentioned other prominent coup d' etats .... JFK for a star.
As a Guatemalan the multiple coup that the USA has perpetrated have traumatized our country.
I concur,I remember reading a Newsweek decades back and it said "Guatemala and DRC (then Zaire) will never know peace.I wondered how such prediction was coming real every other year.
No arguing this !!!
lol you guys have crippled your own country. Its so convienent to blame big bad USA.. but what about YOUR corrupt officials ?! What about YOUR CORRUPTION ? Your crime... drugs... gangs... its not the USA's fault its your peoples fault. Truth hurts.
@@FadedResolutions Unless you have done research on the subject ... you are really not qualified to argue the subject ... If you had done research on the subject you could not have the same defensive position !!! Sorry ...
@@superdivemaster like i said before, truth hurts.
Wild that you missed operation Condor. One of the most brutal and inhuman coups tied directly to the US.
Series of coups
You failed to mention the Maidan Coup in Ukraine in 2014 which is still causing huge problems today.
I commented the same thing!!! I wonder why they didn’t bring it up!?!?
@@amber.jokinen I think it's pretty obvious, he complains about 'interference' at the end of the video. I'm sure the sta te dept. has quite a few youtube channels putting out their messaging.
It's truly heartbreaking just how much misery and bloodshed have been forced upon the world. Millions of lives destroyed, resources pillaged, entire nations ruined forever. All in the name of profit and greed, with the aid of taxpayer money, while hiding behind ideals of liberty, democracy and "civilisation".
It seems like Karma is in play 🤗
Grow up kid,it has allways been thus ! A lot of people have reason to be gratefull to The USA,especially its people.
My reletives saw and knew young men go to Europe and never come back along with our own and allies. I have had a good life I will allways be gratefull to people I never knew. Its only when you get old you realise how lucky you have really been.
FUMF
@@philiprufus4427 ofc you can be grateful for having a good life in a decent safe country like America. but in reality that has nothing to do with war at all because war is something not to be grateful for There are a few wars that America did that we should 100% be grateful of like the Civil War, the war that gave us independence wars that helped us. but there are wars where we just go to countries and say that we "help them" but in reality, we just kill innocent civilians and kill our own people in the process wasting a lot of money that could have made our country a better place like having better healthcare system fixing homelessness and adding a better transportation system. and I'm not saying that I am not grateful for what the American people did they did a lot of stuff that I could not imagine like the computer which is one of my favorite inventions. is that I want this country to be a better place and not destroy other countries in the process.
it was much before usa
"Okay, we got to move a little quicker here, or we're not going to get through all these coups."
🤣🤣🤣
Understand why foreign countries have to do how they do know? You ne corrupt and serf "ours' of we will... Democracy lmao. Ome wat or the other we will get a leader in that benefits our elites that should not be. With your money paying for it. Not in your or the nations best interest. Not for the people in that country. Go figure why the world hates us and our muppet states.
there are far more on the list than that....canada was a "soft coup" complete with dual citizenship "Canadian-American" who live here and hold positions of real power.....usually bankster family's kids....canada is being looted worse than any african country and they flood the country with hard drugs and use the profit to buy guns and canadian real estate...our "dollar" is fake and manipulated to make us poorer
He never mentioned the coup in Ukraine in 2014.
He never mention Yugoslavia.
He never mentioned many of the other coups directly made by the US.
He also was talking about some phantom terrorist organisations.
This is obviously an incomplete video, and not a very truthful one.
At least he acknowledged at the start that there’s more he’s not covering. I agree because there’s more in Africa like Congo
You’re right re Ukraine in 2014. If only more ppl knew of this, when a greedy Vogue posing gnome begs USA for billions of dollars, it should be a sign that something stinks !!!
If anything, this whole thing has made me
He’s definitely not depicting USA as a reasonable country of good guys that’s ffs
@@bmsuperstar1 He does this a lot sadly
Many people mention the 22 Feb 2014 coup in Ukraine, where the death toll has now climbed to 500,000, and many people fault your characterization of Gaddafi, but no one mentions the 1965 coup in Indonesia, where the CIA overthrew Sukarno, installed Suharto, and provided Suharto with the names of 500,000 who were then executed.
Nice narrative😜 but the insurrection in Ukraine was not induced by the US.
Ukrainians were just fed up with the exploitation and corruption of Russian oligarchs. That movement already started in 2004/2005. In 2014 Ukrainians were fed up when the pro-russian President suddenly denied to sign a cooperation agreement with the EU they had been fighting for. That was the reason for their protests. This was the will of the Ukrainians.
And the snipers that killed more than a hundred protesters
were later identified as russian FSB agents.
wow i didnt know suharto came in power because of the CIA. it was a very dark time for indonesia especially the chinese immigrants. A lot of bloodshed during Suharto regime.
@@calavino223 Bangladesh also witnessed coup because of CIA.
@@calavino223its really bloody, not just 500k but around milion, it was a dark time
Johnny we need a deep dive into the vietnam war
Watch pbs a history of Viet Nam war ...& Ho chi mein / Viet Men
Coups are terrifying, the fact that governments and countries could just dissolve...
Gov is just a group of people. How easy is it to dissolve that? Very.
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Get a job
Even more scary when they happen from within and a bunch of rich tax evaders hijack xenophobe tendencies to avoid upcoming tax bills.
Looking at you Britain.
It also serves as a reminder that people as whole are very easily manipulated
If you control the money you control the world
How did you skip Argentine and Uruguay? with Kissinger fingers at the same time with
the heads of Montoneros Tupamaros, at the same time mobilizing Armies of both countries
the Called Operaciòn Condor.
Too many U.S. coups to mention them all...
The US wasn't indirectly involved in either the Uruguayan Coup of 1973 or the Argentine Coup of 1976. They were certainly pleased with the results, for a while Argentina supplied military advisors to US backed repressive regimes in Central America, teaching torture and CRW methods.
@@user-bo5dl9hr8k "wasn't indirectly involved, just trained the military in clandestine operations and the playbook of doing a coup" I'm assuming it was a typo, but I'm from Brasil and here was indirect involvement as in they just said that if the coup went bad they'd sent an aircraft carrier and pushed the idiots in the army to actually act, besides the training and financial support of operation condor. But Argentina was definitely more direct, kinda halfway to the style that happened in Chile. The US is definitely the most terrorist and criminal organisation of the 20th century
@@zedascouve2180 OK we could quibble about what constitutes direct and indirect assistance but in the case of the 1964 coup in Brazil it is absolutely clear that Vernon Walters played a very direct and influential role in effecting the coup. He travelled up and down the country bolstering support amongst the military and providing them with guarantees of military and diplomatic support. It's arguable that many if not most would have lacked the courage without the green light from the US.
Argentina in 1976 was already a shit show (a near perpetual state of affairs) although it would get infinitely worse under the junta. I have seen no evidence that there was direct involvement by the US in the coup itself. Operation Condor is a quite separate topic.
Quite agree about the old Estados Unidos criminal culpability. A cheer was raised along with several glasses in this household the day that Kissinger died.
Cara, eu morei no Brasil, gastei muito tempo lá e conheço bem o país e sua história.
Um abraço
J
@@user-bo5dl9hr8k yeah, you are right, I guessed i mixed things up, just get really upset with this topic.
Haha I also cracked a beer and put some political songs from these times, specially the hopeful ones, when Kissinger finally went to sit on Satan's lap.
Posso perguntar de onde você é?
Abraço
I wish you made this longer and more detailed. Even if you didn't want to go in depth, you should have mentioned even more coups that many of younger generations and people around the world don't know about. A part 2 really should be made.
Great video. Just stumbled across your channel today. Got yourself a new subscriber!
A follow-up video including failed coups would be legendary
And where would we be today if coups had failed like Iran 1953 and Ukraine 2014
@@davidayers5173 i dont know. You tell me
hopefully the failed psy ops and lawsuits vs a USA political opponent will go down as a failed coup. people need to wake up because what our government has done to countless other countries (seen in this video) it'd doing to the republican party now
To follow up on the Chilean coup that is really interesting because out of the coups on here, it was the only one with political hits on American soil.
Just two years ago in Venezuela? lol 😅

Six minutes in and it has been a total education:- I have eight 'O' levels; two 'A' level; TWO undergraduate degrees AND have read HUNDREDS of books but am hearing about these coups for the very first time (I always wondered how Hawaii, out in the Pacific ocean became associated with America enough to become a state(!).
This video is a real service to modern history and anti-imperialism.
It is quite scary how America managed to in, effect, DISAPPEAR from world history between reconstruction in 1870 and entering WW1 in 1917 while all the time cutting its teeth in the deadly games of deceit and death which we know to have been its primary contribution to the world since 1945.

Imagine if this was a full list. It would be hours long.
Yeah for example the last coup attempt in turkey
@@SixWasTakenThat’s actually not the US’s fault. Turkey has a history of military coups against governments that espoused politics that weren’t secular because of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s policy of tasking the army with upholding state secularism.

🙄And _doubtless_, Allende and his comrades were *absolutely* faultless too, right?
Yeah this dude johnny Harris is friggin CIA - there's obv so much evidence for the us backed coup, pinochet waa basically a paid actor of the CIA, Allende was democratically elected.
I mean yes, he's probably not CIA, but even with his trying of doing a video ok the astrocities of the US he's romanticizing capitalist agenda, because he's overlooking facts and trying his best to defend the US - listen to him how he says we have no idea how NATO got involved in Libya.
Wasn't the president of ukraine also installed by the west?
Yes He Was. The Clinton’s/ Obama & Gloria Newland
General Gaddafi was a well loved leader. He was generous and his people prospered under him. He was showing the world how leaders should look after their people but the Americans didnt like that. So they smeared him savagely before killing him.
Uruguayan here. I'm I a bit disappointed that Uruguay didn't make the video, nevertheless in real life we usually get sweeped under the carpet. Both my Gradparents spent time in hard labor/concentration camps, and my parents started their early years fatherless. I'm glad someone is talking about this. I think that when an average person thinks of Latin America they usually think of poverty and domestic violence yet usually don't know why. I live in California and there are many great things about the USA, but it also has many problems (like every other country) that it needs to solve. Addressing this is one of them. 🇺🇾🇺🇾
Let’s bring some attention to this then, try and surface this comment.
Nada, hermano. Ustedes nunca son olvidados, lo siento mio español no és muy bueno, salutos de Brazil!
You are right..Most of the world kinda dont understand the influence of Estados Unidos on south American countries.Almoast like C.Columbos statues and history attached to his name.
@@seadfacic2924 🤣🤣🤣
100% agree. My uncle is currently the Charge at the US embassy in Uruguay and I've had discussions with him specifically on US involvement. Johnny was pretty irresponsible with how he handled and breezed over US involvement in Latin America in this video. Pretty pissed off with this video.
Thank you very much for this video. Everyone should know about this. My family was exiled from Guatemala when the coup happened and the country still has not gotten back on its feet. The coup literally plunged my country into decades of civil war
It hasn't because Guatamala is probably controlled by the USA behind closed doors. It seems like there are a lot of issues when a country lets the USA control it. USA literally promote this idea of the right to bear arms, despite it not being a right or a law in that country. That is why all the countries south of the USA, like Gautamala, are experiencing a lot of death by guns, which causes people to leave.
@Chris P are you saying that "the right to bear arms" isn't a right in the U.S or Guatemala? It may not be in Guatemala but it certainly is in the United Statea
@@chrisp7110 you’re partway there; think past right to bear arms that US imposed upon Guatemala and you’re on the right track!

No CIA & MOSSAD,No coup
One thing left out about Grenada; the Soviet involvement. I know a Marine who served in the invasion and he talked about shooting it out with Soviet military. This was left out of individual military records which he was not happy about. While still on Reserve status the Iraq war broke out and he recieved a knock on his door. It was the military telling him to report in. He told where to go and slammed the door. This was in Alaska where two other Marines also took part in the invasion of Grenada. They were all promised jobs by the Mayor of Anchorage, Tony Knowels. He lied. Also you left out how Reagan used Manuel Noriega in the Iran/Contra debacle forcing him to sell drugs. When the U.S. came after him he contacted Attorney Edgar Paul Boyko (Frank Senatra Jr kidnapping case) but made the mistake of admitting to using a landline to call him so Boyko couldent help him and urged him to run.
As a dominican I find it weird that you mentioned the assasination of Trujillo instead of the 1965 intervention and coup where there were US troops deployed. Also they were not hitmen, they even rejected CIA pay on moral grounds.
Each coup should be a series on its own. I've watched the whole video without realizing it's almost half an hour long. I'd watch the whole series if it would be made. Thank you JH for this amazing work!
Thank you! It’s true each of these could be a video itself
Would you consider a series on individual coups.
To Harris
@@johnnyharris , I'm SO DOWN to watch a full series on US backed coups... It would be fascinating to dive into each country for 20-25 minutes, explore the history of the country before the coup, the coup itself, and the political aftermath that we are left with today. And then there is a WHOLE other discussion about the Eisenhower administration and coups...
@@johnnyharris it should be and would be worthwhile for any studio/news outlet/video documentary publisher
@@johnnyharris To be honest my country the Philippines has a lot of American influence and we are thankful because of the different way western nations think that seeks logic and truth. The Spaniards were too religious and kept us ignorant. But knowing that the US employs a coup d etat and easily throws a government that does not seem to agree with them, (to me) is like a candle being lit up in the dark. It kinda opened a lot of ideas which I find no longer farfetch.
To give you an example is the previous Duterte government. His strategy was opposite of the previous Aquino government and he is pivoting towards China. In some of his speeches, he will tell crazy tales like he will be overthrown, impeached or even assassinated by the CIA. Many dismissed it because of his popularity and high approval ratings. But thinking about it after watching your video, there's some truth to it. He was a strongman and a strongman was needed to fix and shake the ailing country.
Many people are shocked by the fact Americans don't know what America did, but what I am shocked by more is how all the world's countries get mass reprimand and backlash for even the slightest of mistakes and errors (let alone declarations of war, war crimes, accusations of propaganda etc.) but the US is just allowed to walk off without any punishment time and time again.

I wish you had covered the Chilean coup a bit more, and there IS rock solid evidence. I was able to even find classified documents about Operation Condor and Chile for the research I had to do for college.
I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't address almost anything about the coups in Brazil and Chile, it just goes to show how the US people don't care about South America.
The horrible effects America has inflicted upon my home of chile is so clear and evident i dont know how anyone could deny it or claim there is no evidence. even recently with the riots.
I am here to ask Johnny for a video on the chilean coup too.
My grandparents had to escape from Chile during Pinochet's reign as refugees with my mom when she was a baby. They watched their country, and their lives get destroyed on September 11th, 1973. My best friends grandfather was also in Santiago when the air force were dropping bombs on La Moneda and besieging the capital. He was later imprisoned at the national stadium and was then taken to the Chacabuco concentration camp where he was tortured. There are so many fucked up stories from other Chileans in my community from that time.
as someone from latin America, they cannot fit everything into one video. He already made videos about Guatemala and Panama. Hopefully in thefuture, they will make those videos.
Henry Kissinger on Chile "make the economy scream".

I appreciate you making this video. It's hard to do justice to all of these events in a short time frame. I would have preferred a more accurate framing of US presence in the Philippines and Congo. However, you left enough breadcrumbs for those interested in knowing more. Good job.
You left out the US-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014.
And you left out that there's nothing illegal about Russia buying Facebook ads for any reason at all. That's how freedom of expression works.
Except there is little to no evidence that the Euromaidan protests were US-backed???
The US, as this video shows obviously is a global power responsible for endless suffering, but its wrong to assume every single event that is oriented towards the west is somehow a CIA-coup.
You left out a big one: Indonesia, twice.
The first attempt to overthrow the left-leaning Sukarno, Indonesia's first president, in 1958 failed instantly after the Soviet Union intervened with the plans.
In mid-1960s, however, General Suharto, backed by the CIA, led the army to oust Sukarno's Old Order and get rid of the Indonesian Communist Party, resulting in the deaths of one million suspected Communists. The CIA campaign has made a long-lasting impact in Indonesian society, and the fear of Communism in the country still runs high to this day.
There are excellent documentaries and books about the '60s coup, among them "The Act of Killing" by Joshua Oppenheimer and "The Jakarta Method" by Vincent Bevins. Check them out if you haven't.
yes !!!! 😩
this coup was also used within the CIA as an example of how anti-communist coups were supposed to be conducted and the 'Jakarta method' was implemented in many asian and latin american countries afterwards. To understand how and why the US facilitated so many coup d'etats in the post-war period you really need to look at this one first.

Quite disapointed that you didn't add Argentina's last dictatorship which was a huge part of the condor plan lead by the US like you did with Chile and Brasil but so glad you cover other countries as well. My grandfather disappeared on 1976 when the coup started so if you have any questions, i'll be glad to answer :)
as Argentinian I agree 100%, we all know that US was behind the coups. Also until these years through the IMF which is controlled by US and they approve unpayable credits only to US friendly presidents (like Mauricio Macri). Thats the new way of coup: economic.
Same here. Hope he does an entire video about the Plan Condor.
The coups in Brazil, Argentina and Chile were above all organized by their own military forces. Just the same way as populist phenomena like Peron or Bolsonaro are home grown. The CIA was certainly supportive, but not at all the driving force that it was in Iran, and Plan Condor was not really central. If you do not root out the fascism in your own society, the same mistakes will happen.
Same, there’s so much stuff that wasn’t mentioned. I’m glad people are giving push back in the comment section, because the reality is most Americans aren’t even aware of these coups.

"To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal"
You should be thankful the USSR didn’t come out on top.
It's exactly what the indigenous tribes of the Americas learnt on their way to extinction at the hands of the US cavalry.
Obviously, the US made some unjustified and terrible options. The thing is, people (like you did now) took Kissinger's quote out of context.
Quoting someone:
_The context is advice Kissinger was giving the Nixon administration on handling the leader of a South Vietnamese coup:_
_"Nixon should be told that it is probably a goal of (Johnson’s Defense Secretary) Clifford to remove Thieu (South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu) before Nixon takes office. One should tell Nixon that if Thieu suffers the same fate as Diem, the nations of the world will learn that being America's enemy may be dangerous, but being America's friend is fatal.”_
_In short, he’s saying exactly the opposite of what the misquote is trying to claim. The quote likes to pretend this is Kissinger describing reality. In fact, Kissinger is describing an alternate reality that should not be tolerated (and wasn’t). It’s the difference between science and science fiction..._
_NOTE: His advice was followed. The Nixon administration made no effort to end Thieu’s regime, so Thieu remained head of South Vietnam until moments before it fell in 1975._
_I’d say, consider this deliberate deception the next time you read anything written on [the internet] by someone who likes to misquote Kissinger, because it shows they’re willing to bend truth until it breaks._
Very interesting. I'm all for making who was responsible to be responsible, but when you have two evils and have to pick one to defend - it makes sense to go with the lesser evil (which clearly is not Putin). Then again, it depends on what context and who's involved ... and some people love to overgeneralize which I hate.

I'm a big fan and the same thing happened to us in Slovakia when in 1992 under the name of the gentle revolution they changed the regime and started stealing the state because we were underdeveloped with a strong setup for economic growth and with a political coup financed from abroad they set us back 30 years and we are called a thorn in the eye of the west.
Amazing ! Real History in a powerful and concise way !
Major General Smedley D. Butler was the most highly decorated Marine prior to Chesty Puller taking the record after Butler's death in 1940. Butler fought in the Philippine-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution and World War I. During his 34-year career as a Marine, he participated in military actions in the Philippines, China, Central America, the Caribbean during the Banana Wars, and France in World War I.
He wrote a short essay titled, "War Is A Racket" that is available to read online. It details the true nature of war (*all* war) and shows how the average soldier is deceived into thinking they are fighting for some noble cause, like freedom. I highly recommend it.
Funny you made this comment about Butler. He actually was asked by secret societies (Bush and Walker and other big industrialists) to perform a coup to overthrow Roosevelt and install a nazi government. This is actually real! It's called the Business Plot.
The U.S was behind the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine hence the current conflict of today..
It is a book that truly changed my perspective on the world. It’s also only like 50 pages so a great quick read.
so crazy to see all these people know about smedley and also have read his book......and still support sending foreign aid to ukraine
He also went on to foil the Business Plot, a plan funded by powerful elites in the US to enact a coup against FDR. Fascinating guy all around
you should make a whole video about Operation Condor tbh, that shit was WILD. For those who don't know, it was a series of coups all around south america during the 70s and 80s, and go WAY deeper than that brief part he mentioned with chile.
You can even check how many of the dictators and generals involved went to the School of Americas in Giorgia, US.

Fantastic video from a history buff this video was spectacular
For a country (or at least government, I know a lot of its citizens are not aware of what their leaders are doing!) that claims to be the "World's Police", they do have this uncanny knack of picking probably the worst people to endorse to the throne of those countries where they establish a coup. Somehow, after all these, they make things worse for those directly involved and sometimes it even comes back to bite them.
A bit like the real American police I guess... ruling through terror and arbitrary violence, accountable to no-one but themselves
America as the world's police makes a lot of sense if you look at the current state of American policing
Well in my country some people called American a "world police" that make Sense replace a dictator to another dictator in name democracy

Fun Fact: Sadam Hussain was also put into place by the US government. He was meant to keep a certain country busy by attacking them (sry, I don't remember if it was Saudi Arabia or Iran) , this way US businesses were free to plunder the oil fields in Kuwait without any competitions. For his efforts, the US had promised him help, getting his very own oil springs, but as usual, they forgot about that. And so, Hussain turned around and attacked Kuwait to get the promised oil wells, the very oil wells the US claimed for themself and thus Hussain became enemy No1.
Where’s the source? BBC? lmao, Saddam Hussain was brave leader not your US puppet that’s why they killed him in first place
Yes this was a hilarious fact.
And Saddam Hussein want to nationalize the oil company, so his country could be as rich as the Uni Emirates.
@derrickbridges2611 Actually back then (being the economically backwards, not too industrialized Ottoman Empire) there weren't really oil pumps in the Middle East if any at that time.
Another fact, this one not a coup: during WW2, both the British (their empire too?) worked together to make the Nuclear Bomb. You might guess what happened next. The U.S. ripped Britain off and claimed the thing for themselves, and that's how Britain ended up as the third country to officially get nukes.
as a brazilian would like to remember the coup in brazil was not just about military and political support during the coup. after it cia trained our military and economists to keep power.
