Overthrow >>/55061/ - the case of Prez Arbenz and Guatemala.
In the 50s starting from the presidency of Eisenhower, with a Dulles at the helm of the State Dept and another Dulles at the CIA If this is not a mob then what is? the idea that every obstacle the US faces is created by the SU, and that everyone who disagreed with them was a SU agent got really entrenched in the minds of the US elites. Whole paragraph from the book:
No evidence ever emerged to support that “deep conviction.” Not in the vast archive of files the CIA captured after its coup, nor in any other document or testimony that has surfaced since, is there any indication that Soviet leaders were even slightly interested in Guatemala during the 1950s. Dulles could not have fathomed that. He was convinced to the point of theological certainty that the Soviets were behind every challenge to American power in the world. So was the rest of the Eisenhower administration. It believed, as one historian has put it, “that it was dealing not with misguided, irresponsible nationalists, but with ruthless agents of international communism.”
This is still true today in the minds of Western elites and their hired pen, who blame Russia for every mishap happening to them. They do this so routinely that it's easy to imagine they really believe in this. Unless directed from Moscow noone can disagree with them. Unless not Russia organized an event that effects them negatively it could not have happened otherwise.
And ofc this can be used well to false flag too, but that's another story.
