The United
States has been intervening covertly and overtly in many countries
since the late 1800s, however the CIA's first black ops date back to
the World War II after Harry S. Truman signed the act by which the
agency was created on July 26, 1947. The Central Intelligence Agency
is responsible for terrorism, assassinations, military coups and
rebellions around the globe and has deceitfully used many NGOs guised
as organisms that promote human rights, democracy, freedom and
economic development, including USAID, NED and IRI, just to mention a
few.
Their true
objective is imperialist in nature. The U.S. has interest in every
country, be it for its natural resources, cheap labor force or
because of its strategic geographical location.
In order to
meet its goals, the CIA recruits influential, intellectual and
charismatic personalities. The agency also resorts to threats,
kidnapping, torture, enforced disappearances and assassinations. The
organization incites violence, uprisings and military rebellion, and
causes economic chaos and misery to the people through scarcity of
basic foods and so on. The CIA has been exposed on a number of
occasions through documented evidence, leaks of information and
whistleblowing by active and former agents.
Brazil
- 1964
The year of
1964 was one of incredible transformation in Brazil.
Democratically-elected President Joao Goulart implemented his “Plan
of Basic Reforms.” Even though the U.S. had exerted much of its
power through ensuring people weren't lifted from ignorance and
illiteracy, Brazil implemented real changes that made Washington very
uncomfortable.
Firstly, a
tax reform was put in place that would hugely carve into the profits
of the multinational corporations of the United States and its
allies. Washington was also very unhappy with a reform by which land
would be given back to their legitimate owners and would redistribute
other lands to poor people.
It was now
time to send in the CIA to take action against the government of
Goulart, which they did in 1964. They put in power a brutal
dictatorship that lasted 19 years. During this regime, thousands were
tortured and hundreds executed. The CIA also made sure all those
leaders who had leftist tendencies were eliminated, specially
Marxists.
