July 27, 1954 - The democratically elected Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, after receiving 65% of the vote, was overthrown by CIA-paid and -trained mercenaries. There followed a series of military dictatorships that waged a genocidal war against the indigenous Mayan Indians and against political opponents into the '90s. Nearly 200,000 citizens died over the nearly four decades of civil war. “They have used the pretext of anti-communism. The truth is very different. The truth is to be found in the financial interests of the fruit company [United Fruit, which controlled more land than any other individual or group in the country. It also owned the railway, the electric utilities, telegraph, and the country's only port at Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic coast.] and the other U.S. monopolies which have invested great amounts of money in Latin America and fear that the example of Guatemala would be followed by other Latin countries . . . I took over the presidency with great faith in the democratic system, in liberty and the possibility of achieving economic independence for Guatemala.” #Guatemala #CIA #Coupdétat #USImperialism

There are a lot of #zionists in #Argentina. Not most people, but a lot. Especially among the upper #class. And they have been involved in the #military and #government, including during the #fascist #dictatorship era. Much like how the #Maya #genocide perpetrators in #Guatemala were backed by #Israel and saw the highlands similarly to how #Israelis see #Gaza. In both cases, the #CIA and the #USA generally was an even more significant sponsor, via #OperationCondor.

Today the U.S. funds and arms Israel’s genocide against Palestinians In the past, Israel funded and armed the Guatemalan genocide against Mayans Today in Labor History July 18, 1982: Over 250 Achi Maya (mostly women and children) were murdered by the Guatemalan armed forces and paramilitaries in the Plan de Sánchez massacre. They separated the girls, who were 15 to 20 years old, and raped them. Then they broke their arms and legs and killed them. Children were smashed against the floor and then thrown into the flames with their parents. Many of the weapons used by the Guatemalan military had been supplied by Israel, particularly after the U.S. Congress banned military aid to the country because of its atrocious human rights record. One relative of the victims said, "in church they tell us that divine justice is on the side of the poor; but the fact of the matter is, it is the military who get the Israeli guns." The massacre was part of the scorched earth policies of dictator Rios Mont. Despite his history of genocidal war crimes, Rios Mont was repeatedly elected to Congress in the 1990s and early 2000’s. In 2013, he was sentenced to 80 years in prison for genocide and crimes against humanity, but his sentence was overruled by the Constitutional Court and he never served time. #workingclass #LaborHistory #massacre #genocide #maya #guatemala #imperialism #rape #torture #israel #indigenous

Land and #environmental defenders—#Indigenous leaders, farmers, conservationists, and community #activists—risk their lives opposing the destructive exploitation of natural resources. The dangers facing defenders are widespread and persistent. Since reporting began in 2012, Global Witness estimates that at least 2,253 defenders have been killed or disappeared. #LatinAmerica remains the deadliest region, accounting for roughly 82 percent of killings in 2024: #Colombia reported 48 deaths, #Guatemala 20, #Mexico 18, and #Brazil 12. The #violence is linked to land disputes, #mining, agribusiness, and organized #crime. Indigenous peoples are disproportionately affected. Although they make up only six percent of the global population, they account for roughly one-third of defenders killed or targeted worldwide. A majority of killings and disappearances in 2024 were linked to extractive activities, with mining and logging at the forefront. “These defenders are ultimately safeguarding all ways of life on this planet, and we must protect them from enforced disappearance.” “If we still have rainforests, it’s because we, the indigenous, have fought for our lives to protect them”. https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/09/indigenous-and-environmental-defenders-risk-their-lives-as-the-last-line-protecting-the-planet/ #Climate #ClimateCrisis #press #journalism #honduras #Ecuador #capitalism #ClassWar

At least 358 human rights defenders were killed last year, according to a report released last week by Front Line Defenders, a Dublin-based group that provides support for global human rights activists. Nearly a quarter, 84, were targeted because of their often unpaid work protecting land and the environment. Those killings were documented in #Brazil, #Colombia, #Ecuador, #France, #Honduras, #Guatemala, #Mexico, #India, #Indonesia, #Peru, #Philippines, #Turkey, #Somalia and #Palestine. Indigenous-rights defenders—often working on environmental issues but tracked separately from environmental defenders—accounted for another 17 percent of the killings documented by the group. There were nearly 4,000 non-lethal attacks on #humanrights defenders across 119 countries last year, a figure that includes multiple violations against the same individual in some cases, according to the report. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/22062026/environmental-defenders-are-increasingly-targeted/ Because it's not mentioned in the article: these attacks are part of the #classwar declared by the bourgeoisie against the social majority.

Guatemalan farmers are adopting organic biopesticides rooted in traditional Maya practices to replace synthetic agrochemicals. Made from local plants, these natural alternatives are safer, more affordable, and prevent the environmental damage caused by chemical farming.
