Parting shot

To add to the Ridiculousness of the world look at the history of Iran and Guatemala. In the early 50s the British had a Stranglehold on the Iranian oil industry the leaders of Iran wanted to nationalize the oil fields and the British didn't like this so all they did was went to America's leader of the CIA and convinced him the leader of Iran is a communist he is a Soviet sympathizer so they staged a coup and knocked him out of power. A little bit later in Guatemala the fruit industry had an economic problem so they went to the CIA and convinced them that the Guatemalan General that wanted to nationalize the fruit industry and give the unused land to the peasants was actually a communist General plotting a world takeover. Guatemala really? This International fear of communism coming out of everywhere including the flower pots breakfast cereal boxes and cigarette packs laying around your house is a little bit absurd. I can understand paying attention to North Korea or red China but swearing up and down did every little Nation on the face of the Earth that barely has enough money to buy Jeeps let alone raise a standing army his communist is just ridiculous. And so is the use of a nation's strategic intelligence service by any of our allies to subvert Fair economic process. That kind of shit needs to stop
