SANTO DOMINGO.- Rear admiral John Sydney McCain II, father of Republican Party presumptive presidential candidate John McCain, commanded the U.S. occupation forces that invaded Santo Domingo April, 28, 1965, to prevent the victory of colonel Francisco Alberto Caamaño’s constitutionalist forces, said newspaper Nacional.

The revelation is from former Cuban president Fidel Castro published Friday morning in the official newspaper Granma.

In the article Castro said he knew Caamaño, who he defined as a “great hero” who always trusted Cuba.

Thousands of U.S. soldiers disembarked in Dominican Republic April 28, 1965, to ostensibly protect its interests here, but the intervention squashed the constitutionalist rebels’ effort to return president Juan Bosch to office, ousted in a coup September 25, 1963.

The U.S. magazine “Reason” in an article published this week also confirms McCain senior’s participation in the invasion of Dominican Republic, and notes that he defended the occupation saying that: “Perhaps people don’t like the strong when they’re taught to behave.”

The aim of the 1965 imperialist attack, occupation, and genocide was the destruction of any emerging and nascent democracy in the DR.

Democracy, on the representative rather than participatory side, is defined as a form of state in which:

(1) Supreme power resides in the body of citizens entitled to vote in the DR, [not the White House]

(2) Citizens elect their Dominican representatives [not the imperialist leader in Washington picks them]

(3) The representatives are accountable to the Dominican citizens [ not to the arrogant US imperialists who control the Dominican police and military]

(4) The representatives exercise power in accordance with the rule of law. [not with the will of the US invader, mass murderer, and occupier.]

John Jr. also hates democracy in poor and underveloped countries when it's defined this way. Like his father, John Jr., the GOP nominee, is quick to resort to genocide if democracy, as defined here, threatens to break out.

"Probably?" the ignoramus GC says. Well, ignoramus and crackpot is certainly wrong.

But GC's crackpot point, is -- if a US commander manages a network of US concentrations camps in the DR where over 100,000 people were rounded up, jailed, tortured, some 40,000 murdered, raped, humiliated, and degraded with extreme vileness, it's OK ... it's no big deal ... if the US commander works out of an office in Virginia.

Genocide, torture, mass murder, human slaughter, human massacre, holocaust to clean out those alleged "Reds" in the DR?

"So what?"

After all, the US savages in charge of the barbarity work out of an office in Virginia.

If a US imperialist-generated virus were to wipe out the whole population of Canada, GC, the Crackpot of the Yukon, would say "So What?" The virus comes out of Virginia.

The "commies" who were tortured and slaughtered by tens of thousands by the US imperialists under the command of Adm. John McCain turned out to be mostly PRD members who in 1965 and 1966 were a little different ideologically and politically from what they are today. Today, most PRD members follow bourgeois reactionaries who are to the right of A. Hitler, but in the 1960s, the PRDs mostly followed bourgeois liberals. Essentially, they were Dominican patriots in the '60s who believed in and defended Dominican sovereignty from US imperialist domination. The US imperialists simply called Dominican patriots "commies," rounded up the patriots, and slaughtered them to the loud cheers of Dominican bourgeois reactionaries who saw the Bosch liberals and their supporters as too strong at the polls.

Nothing has changed.

Foul and vile reactionaries in the USA and DR today openly celebrate and feel joy over the 2,000,000 Iraqi people killed as a result of US lies and aggression.

0000

The US Army customarily writes histories of the instances in which it mass murders and slaughters people on a grand scale, once a couple of decades have passed after the massacres.

The imperial history of the US 1965 aggression against the DR or Operation Power Pack, as US imperialists call their Dominican aggression, claims "3000 civilians" were killed.

This is bigger lie than today's casualties counts by pro-imperialists of war-related deaths in Iraq where something like 2,000,000 people have been killed as a result of the US lies and aggression while imperialist apologists and reactionaries claim only 60.000 to 80,000 have perished.

In the DR, the US savages in1965 slaughtered people left and right. The US savages didn't even care which side -- i.e., constitutionalist or loyalist -- you were on. They had a job to do ... i.e., murder a lot of people

Pappabowie is saying George Jr. hanged Saddam after his father, George Sr. failed to hang Saddam.

And McCain Jr. may finally enslaved the DR totally and permanently after his father McCain Sr. failed to finish the job the father started in 1965.

By "our back yard," what pappabowie is saying is that not only is the Dominican Republic the property of the US imperialists, but also the Dominican people [... "you ARE" ... ] are the property of the US imperialists.

Pappabowie gives good advice when he says "best to watch yourselves," because the US imperialists intend to use what's in their backyard.

What is the significance of "our" as in "our back yard" or, in other words, who is "our?"

"Our" is the reationary sector of the US people, about a third of the population or 100 million US citizens, who are rotten to the core with imperialist mentality and morality.

The other two-thirds of the US people detest this foul "our or this foul "we" as they like to call themselves.

Most US citizens are not imperialist lunatics, but many are.

An interesting report out today (English version here) by the Spanish news agency EFE that points out Fidel's "Reflections" columns are no longer running in Cuba's official Communist Party newspaper, Granma, which has hosted them for almost two years. Fidel's observations are on the web for foreigners and people with Internet access, which pretty much shuts out most Cubans.

Is it a sign that trouble is brewing between Raul and Fidel? Or perhaps even Raul couldn't stand reading his brother's diatribes any longer.

"Belial are you including the current killings of civilians, currently taking place in Iraq as well?"

time2rize asks.

oooo

Yeah.

I really begin with John Hopkin II study [ also called Lancet II] released in Oct. 2006 which found 650,000 war-related Iraqi deaths after 2003.
http://www.thelancet.com/webfiles....nals/lancet/s0140673606694919.pdf

This was the PRE-SURGE rate of US genocide against the Iraqi people when you consider that John Hopkins University I [or Lancet I] found 100,000 war-related deaths in Oct 2004.

So the PRE-SURGE rate of US genocide was as of Oct 2006 determined as follows:

(650,000 less 100,000) divided by 24 months is 22, 916 Iraqi war-related deaths per month.

In Sept 2007, Opinion Research Business in the UK found that over 1.2 milion Iraqis had perished as a result of the war since 2003.
http://www.opinion.co.uk/Newsroom_details.aspx?NewsId=78



Written by: Belial, 4 Jul 2008 6:06 PM
From: United States, Texas
p. 2 or 2

To determine the SURGE rate of US genocide against the Iraqi people:

(1,200,000 [ORB] less 650,000 [John Hopkins II] divided by 9 months [ the period from the Oct 2006 John Hopkins II release to the Sept 2007 ORB survey release ] yields a US genocide rate of 61,111 Iraqis murdered per month.

Your question is: ought we use SURGE or PRE-SURGE rate of genocide to estimate casulaties for the 10-month period following the ORB survey.

So, EITHER:

61, 111 [ the surge rate of US genocide] X 10 months [period between Sept 2007 and July 2008] = 611,110 [the number killed after Sept 2007]

Thus, the 1,200,000 [the number killed before Sept 2007] + 611,110 [ after Sept 2007] = 1.8 million Iraqis have died as a result of US lies and aggression since 2003.

OR

22,916 [PRE-SURGE rate of genocide] X 10 momths = 229,160 [the number killed after Sept 2007]

So, at the pre-surge rate, the total number of Iraqi deaths in around 1.4 million since 2003.

There is something perceptive about pappabowie, this extreme reactionary who is extraordinarily candid about the adventures of US imperialism.

"If only 1 in 4 of those Iraqis are alquad sympethizers ," he says.

Exactly, murder four Iraqis at random, you are bound to get at least one Iraqi who at least "sympathizes" with the Iraqi patriotic resistance against foreign aggression and occupation.

In other words, US imperialists' strategy is the extermination of the Iraqis and so far about 1 out every 25 Iraqis has perished as a result of the Bush's lies and aggression.

The same strategy of US-inflicted genocide was used in the DR in 1965, but the Dominican patriots, then, weren't as tough as the Iraqis today.

Even with WWII type genocide, McCain argues "we" must stay in Iraq; for otherwise, there be a "bloodbath."

As if almost 2,000,000 dead is not a "bloodbath."

The mere presence of the troops ended the worst of the bloodshed that characterized the first phase of the civil war.

Dozens of factions not under Camaacho were indiscriminately shooting and looting. Add to that the deaths by tigueres unleashed in the anarchy that reigned for weeks into months.
McCain's purported comment can also be translated to mean "people lose their desire for strongmen when they have education and know how to perform civic duties civilly". Not inappropriate under the extreme disorder at the time.

Dozens of factions not under Camaacho were indiscriminately shooting and looting. Add to that the deaths by tigueres unleashed in the anarchy that reigned for weeks into months.
McCain's purported comment can also be translated to mean "people lose their desire for strongmen when they have education and know how to perform civic duties civilly". Not inappropriate under the extreme disorder at the time.
The pseudo intellectuals posting their agitprop here shall, as history demonstrates, be the first to be marched to the wall in their new socialist paradise, should it befall them."....THANK YOU PELAUT

Curious!!
Just when the Obama surrogates start working down their list of hits on McCain (what they call 'smears' when it's done to them), the near comatose Comandante Fidel rouses himself to write an editorial exposing McCain as the scion of a gringo Latino-eating ogre. They've also hired Torito -- a TRULY magnificent stroke the country club Repubs can't begin to comprehend. That took discriminating musical appreciation and some grip on Latino culture. Let's hope it brings bachata to mainstream US music.
However, that they were able to conscript the surrogates of El Maestro de La Habana to their cause demonstrates a degree of ideological intercourse that's scary.

"The purpose of the military occupation was to keep rabid mad dogs like you out of power."

oooo

"Rabid mad dog."

Surely, not me.

Nor were the Dominicans who Dec. 20, 1962, democratically elected Juan Bosch by a landslide to serve as their president "mad dogs" whether rabid or otherwise.

The "mad dogs" were the US imperialists who with saliva dripping from their mouths overthrew Dominican democracy on September 25, 1963, using pro-imperialists puppies in Dominican military.

Nor was Francisco Caamaño who on April 24, 1965, led the struggle to restore democracy, the constitutionality and the rule of law by dismanling the puppet dictatorship the US imperialists imposed on the Dominican people.

Four days later, April 28, 40,000 the slimy dogs, malignant hypocrites, and "democracy-talking" scum of the US imperialism ... the armed forces of the US imperialists ... invaded, occupied and slaughtered Dominicans, installing another puppet dictatorship in the process.

Written by: Belial, 5 Jul 2008 3:17 PM
From: United States, Texas
The gist of the imperialist argument against the patriot Juan Bosch was and is:

"During the seven months Bosch held power he repeatedly refused to do what the US imperialists told him, claiming, like a fool, that he was only accountable to the Dominican people in whom supreme power resided and who elected him president of the DR. He unequivocally and categorically refused to serve as a puppet of the US imperialists. So, we had no choice but to go in, remove him, put in our people, and shoot everybody who dissented and then some. We deeply regret that an accommodation couldn't be worked out, but under no circumstances will we let a Dominican president tell us what he can and cannot do in the Dominican Republic. "

Naturally, the US imperialists haven't repented in the least, for on Feb. 24, 2004, they did the same thing in Haiti, under the cover of their usual pack of lies.

Merit.

Five top ranking "Granma" commanders among the Cuban revolutionaries -- (1) Fidel, (2) Che, (3) Camilo, (4) Raul, and (5) Juan.

Che and Camilo are not the replacement because they are dead. Perhaps you accept death as a disqualification for public office.

When Fidel got under the weather, only Raul and Juan were left of the original revolutionary giants.

They ... the deputies in the national legislature ... went for Raul because he for 50 years has held more important posts than Juan and Raul performed extremely well on numerous
missions assigned to him.

But in you simplistic head, they went for Raul over Juan solely or chiefly because Raul is a Castro.

You suffer from a disposition to repeat every lie you read in the cappie press as if it were your original thought.

Identical to Enron's "free" and "de-regulated" energy market propaganda which as usual was a cover for operations, accounting, and securities fraud.

Once the bourgeoisie in the energy industry got itself de-regulated, it stole from everybody and electricity rates rose considerably.

Right now, oil speculators are "competing" in the free market with one another to raise ... not lower ... oil prices. As a result, the fuel bills, including electricity, have risen and the number of business and individual bankruptcies have soared during the first six mmonths of this year due to this "competition" that reactionaries palmed off as a panacea for economic ills.

The "un-regulated" market place presupposes that the capitalist is honest when in reality the most cappies are thieves, looters, and liars.

The outcome will depend on whether the red peace marchers are armed.

If they are armed, the marines will likely turn around, go somewhere and get drunk.

On February 27, 1963, Juan Bosch and Armando González Tamayo took possession as the new President and Vice President of the Dominican Republic, in a ceremony that was attended by important democratic leaders and personalities, like Luis Muñoz and José Figueres.

Bosch immediately launched a deep restructuring of the country. On April 29, he promulgated a new Constitution, extremely advanced for its time. The Constitution for the first time in dominican history, declared specific labour rights, and mentioned unions, pregnant women, homeless people, the family, rights for the child and the young, for the farmers, and for illegitimate children.

Written by: time2rize, 6 Jul 2008 12:12 PM

However, Bosch faced powerful enemies. He moved to break up latifundia, drawing the ire of landowners. The Roman Catholic Church thought Bosch was trying to oversecularize the country. Industrialists didn't like the Constitution's guarantees for the working class. The military, who had enjoyed free rein, felt Bosch put them on too short a leash. In addition, the United States was skeptical of even a hint of left-leaning politics in the Caribbean after Fidel Castro openly declared himself a Communist.

On September 25, 1963, after only seven months in office, Bosch was overthrown in a coup led by Colonel Elías Wessin and replaced by a three-man junta. Bosch went back to exile in Puerto Rico.

Less than two years later, growing dissatisfaction generated another military rebellion on April 24, 1965, that demanded Bosch's restoration. The insurgents, commanded by Colonel Francisco Caamaño, removed the junta from power but on April 28, the United States, ostensibly to protect foreigners, intervened in the civil war and dispatched 42,000 troops to the island in Operation Power Pack, just as Caamaño (the leader of the Constitutionalists) said "war would be already over if the U.S. had not intervened." President Lyndon B. Johnson justified the invasion based on fears that the Dominican Republic was turning into "a second Cuba."

GC,

Some of the most distinguished posters in this forum told me that you belong in a zoo.

I strongly disagreed with the idea.

Most animals in zoos are well-behaved.

It will surely bring disrepute down on a zoo that gave you a cage.

For the level of civility and decorum customary at zoos far exceeds your social skills.

So, where do you belong?

You belong in a packing house that makes soap.

Exactly .. why are we celebrating July 4th in the DR? .. what's there to celebrate? .. over 4000 servicemen killed in Iraq? .. others killed in Afghanistan? .. up to a million Iraqis possibly dead since the American occupation of Iraq began .. others living as refugees in Syria and Jordan .. 62,000 Americans have lost their jobs .. the country is being run by "Bozo The Clown" who has borrowed billions more for his "stimulus package" .. Bozonomics .. and if our luck does not change the job will be handed over to "Mad Dog McCain" .. who sees a 100-years of war in Iraq .. we are bloody doomed .. there is nothing to celebrate except the death and destruction that we have so ably spread around the world .. America is a cursed land .. Americans are a cursed people .. a nation of openly and rampantly racist whites .. shame on the US ..

Now, Now, that's no way to talk about your future anglo overlords, As for 'cursed land' we have many more flush toilets than the DR and we actualy put our trash and garbage in cans and dumpsters as opposed to the street or nearest ditch. We have a big job ahead of us with Iran and Barak Osama would be a liability with his yearly pilgrimage to Mecca and all that, sort of a conflict of interest, Why can't we all be a little more optimistic about the future ? I just put 33" boggers on my H2 the ultimate Japetta ! soon we will be rolling in cheap oil once we depose and replace the govt.s of the gulf region with our chosen surrogate rulers.

The US imperialists today uses modern and cutting-edge strategy and tactics to commit genocide.

Manufactured famine is very popular with the imperialists.

Switchgrass, an extremely common kind of grass in the USA, produces 1000 gallons of ethanol per acre, compared to 665 gallons for sugarcane and 400 gallons for corn.

For every unit of energy input, switchgrass yields four units out. For every unit of energy input, sugarcane produces two units out.

Corn yields only one extra unit out over input.

Naturally, US imperialists massively subsidizes the use of corn, the least efficient bio-material, to make ethanol and appropriate only scraps and crumbs for ethanol production from grass and sugarcane.

Why do the filthy and savage US imperialists pick the most inefficient kind of bio-material to make ethanol?

CON"T

Simple.

The subsidy-driven diversion of a third of the already inadequate world corn crop from food consumption to fuel production causes a tremendous famine and holocaust that will rapidly exterminate tens of million, perhaps hundreds of millions of people which capitalism feels no need to exploit but who consume.

The free trade hypocrites in the USA and EU even use stiff tariffs to block imports of cheaper sugarcane-based ethanol from Brazil while USA and EU develop their vile and inhuman corn-based ethanol industry.

The difference between US genocide today and German genocide in the 1930s and '40s is US genocide aims to exterminate the mass of the human population whereas German genocide seemed more targeted at specific groups, especially Communists. The absolutely stunning similarity between the two programs of genocide is that the mass of humanity largely denies their occurrence out of either indifference or malice.

Capitalism is filth.

" In some respects, the U S intervention in the Dominican Republic was a dress rehearsal for Vietnam."

A very faulty rehearsal indeed, were we to judge the results that weren't achieved on the vietnamese front. Plus, the vietnamese were really carrying the struggle with the will to fight up to the point of leaving their country in smoking ruins, if it meant that they'd get to deny the yankees its possession, a will that would shine for its absence on the dominican case.

On moral and legal grounds, I don't believe or indulge in torture.

Torture is a favored thing by imperialists as well as their mange and mouth-foaming running dogs.

[By the way, do Canadian running dogs of US imperialists when they meet a US imperialist still fall down on their backs, stick their four paws in the air, and expose their soft underbelly to the imperialist?]

"The United States intervention in the Dominican Republic was successful."

oooo

The above poses the US problem of evil that cripples a third of the US population.

The hard thing to understand about evil is that it's more than feeling the wrong way, namely pain about what's good and pleasure about what's rotten. And merely doing bad things. Evil requires something else -- a knowledge that something wrong, but a belief is its validity anyway or, in short, the wrong principle upstairs.

Murder is unjustified and unprovoked killing of a human being.

"So, the US murders in the DR were successful," evil believes.

The imperialists used lies about commies as a justification to crush Dominican sovereignty, democracy, the rule of rule and impose pro-imperialist dictatorship.

They used feigned "alarm" over the safety of US tourists as a provocation to murder Dominicans.

Imperialists killed at least 50,000 Dominicans.

Don't you see?

The US murders were successful.

US EVIL

You still don't get it, do it?

Try this.

"The hard thing to understand about evil is that it's more than feeling the wrong way, namely pain about what's good and pleasure about what's rotten. And merely doing bad things. Evil requires something else -- a knowledge that something wrong, but a belief is its validity anyway or, in short, the wrong principle upstairs."

(1) "feeling the wrong way, namely pain about what's good and pleasure about what's rotten"

The USAs enjoyed killing Dominicans which was a rotten thing.

(2) And merely doing bad things.

The USAs actually KILLED at least 50,000 Dominicans, a rotten thing they enjoyed.

(3) " a knowledge that something is wrong, but a belief is its validity anyway or, in short, the wrong principle upstairs."

The USAs knew what they were doing.

Don't give me the crap about "Forgive them father, they know not what they do," so, they ain't evil.

USAs knew murder was wrong, like it, and did it.

I like the way Castro described Trujillo in the Granma editorial:
"This was an uncouth Pinochet begotten by the United States in the Caribbean. The despot had been the result of one of the Yankees’ military interventions in the island that country shares with Haiti, a country which was the first Spanish colony."
The irony is that Chilean intellectuals of the 60s would write about how their country never produced such monsters as Trujillo and that such a thing could never happen there only to see a similiar monster arise in their own midst. Never look down on other societies people for you never know what the future entails for your own.

And what makes you think Fidel Castro is not a C.I.A created puppet, at least Trujillo had the balls to dictate business in the Dominican Republic while being one of the wealthiest men in the world in his time. His personal fortune was estimated at $800 million dollars, and guess what! he left the country without a debt. And on top of that the country's infrastructure was intact and expanding, while most dominicans were living in prosperity and zero crime and no social ills. Another thing dominicans living in the U.S. and Europe were treated like celebrities because everyone coming out of D.R. were mostly professionals, today different story. No wonder he was known as "El Benefactor de la Patria".
