She got it right for better and worse

Balaguer was no day at the beach either

We Dominicans don't miss the brutality of being sent to concentration camps, being tortured savagely and murdered, for just stating your opinion. Or having your daughter kidnapped and raped by the Trujillo gangsters. Or having slow moving cars patrol the streets looking for patriots, like they were rats to throw them in the ocean full of sharks. Or being subjected to the most nightmarish tortures in Trujillo's prison, that not even Hitler in his hey day had the stomach to use. Or living in the constant state of daily fear, that his sycophants jealous of you could accuse you of being an "enemy of the state", just to take over your business or your possessions.
Yes, Dominicans do still remember the nightmare that Trujillo, the devil incarnate, brought upon a generation of Dominicans, and the thousands upon thousands of Dominicans and other nationalities, that where brutally murdered by this "gavillero" and cheap cattle rustler.
May Trujillo rest in hell with all his henchmen.

where can i get this book? DT where is the link?

Fue tremenda hembra la vieja............

Yep a True Tyrant. Hmm I wonder who where the Puppet Masters,that placed him in power and let him ride it out for 31 years?

In 1916, the U.S. occupied the island due to threats of defaulting on foreign debts. The occupying force soon established a Dominican army constabulary to restore order. Seeing opportunity, Trujillo impressed the recruiters and was soon promoted through the ranks. When U.S. troops left the island in 1924, they left Trujillo in charge

Dont try to blame your Uncle the public went along for the ride as well .......and then even elected Balaguer .....your Uncle looks out for himself and others the commies are in it for power and themselves only

Freedom are you referring to the "good ol boys of the US of A". Like the members of the CIA and other Federal agencies that had their lackies in the DR, put him in power. I ronically those same lackies grew tired of his crap, and turned him into swiss cheese after 31 years, in which a people lived to see the depths of hell on earth.

snoopyy3k yep i sure am

Trujillo used his political control to obtain great personal wealth. He achieved support from the United States by becoming Latin America's leading anti-communists. Cordell Hull, US Secretary of State (1933-1944), defended Trujillo by saying: " He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he is our son-of-a-bitch."

President Dwight Eisenhower began to change his opinion of Trujillo after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista by Fidel Castro in January, 1959. Eisenhower observed that: "It's certain that American public opinion won't condemn Castro until we have moved against Trujillo."

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) also warned Eisenhower that Trujillo was so unpopular in Dominican Republic that it was only a matter of time before he became the victim of a left-wing revolution. Therefore it was suggested that the CIA should become involved in replacing him with a more suitable pro-American supporter. CIA's Black Operations (Executive Action) was brought in to remove Trujillo.

If it is something good we did it.

If it works out badly it's always someone else's fault.

carlosfranco still makes us feel perejil's terror

This plan had the support of President Romulo Betancourt of Venezuela. He told Eisenhower: "If you don't eliminate him, we will invade". A training camp was setup in Venezuela by Dominican exiles flown there from the United States and Puerto Rica by the CIA. This group had been recruited from the privileged sectors of Dominican society in order to make sure that the overthrow of Trujillo did not result in the establishment of a communist government.

In the end Trujillo was a positive force for the country... not at an individuals level! and some of his policies would be most helpful in these times we live in!

If only Haiti can produce a Trujillo, thats the only way to get that miserable country out of the poverty it is....


Stand at attention and say PEREJIL.... (BANG, Bang, BOOM)

ajjajajajajja

Trujillo should and can not totally take all of the blame for the atrocities commited against Dominican society. If there are any added responsibilities, it must go to the US government who knowingly allowed and permitted a demented-megalomaniac leader to rule as a despot as long as he (like every other Latin American dictators at the time) supported American interests. It was only after Trujillo turned against "los yankis" did the US decide to get rid of him, but instead of doing the dirty work themselves washed their hands and through others carried out the assasination of the Goat.

Lazy, scums, thief, thugs, drug traffikers, corrupt and modern politicians cannot agree more with Alburquerque.

The only period of time in History of "The Hispaniola" that RESPECT meant something was during his reign.

Respect !!!!!

"Macana, Macana" !!!!!

trujillo was a phycho maniac, a napoleon wannabe it was only a matter of time that someone would killed him. but his 30 year reigh was incredible.

Aqui decimos que hombres como Trujillo solo nacen cada 100 Anos.

Trujillo would've been a great dictator if he hadn't abused his powers. I been told that crime was so low (if there were any) that a drunk person can be sleeping on the sidewalk without being interrupted. people in the countryside slept in their homes with the door open!. Man!! there were that much respect!. It's a pity trujillo endangered females everyewhere!

Viva Trujillo he was the only president to HAVE THE VISION TO GET THIS COUNTRY TO WHERE IT IS TODAY!


UN PATRIOTA

for those of you who dont know your history..... trujillo was toppled with help from the cia..... and if you know that you will know that upto the point to where trujillo was liked by the americans he was a good dictator because the north americans had him under their thumbs.

when trujillo started talking about the north americans, he became the tyrant he is known today.... just like noriega torrijos and any other latin american head of state who defies the americans....the cia has done so much damage wake up and their still running our country.

trujillo was nationalistic. dominicana for dominicans! viva la patria

Que vivan los heroes que mataron a ese asaroso!!!

he left us a country that still is afraid of black people, for his sour soul and the killing of those haitian we are view as racist people..thanks god leonel fernandez is cleaning this mess.

Yes, let us give credit where credit is due. I agree, and do not deny, Trujillo was a Dominican nationalist, a patriot, an effective military leader and a very efficient administrator. The Trujillo clan placed our tiny little under developed Caribbean island on the map and the world took notice. He did enough positive things to give legitimacy to his government. However, I take this matter personal, we must NEVER forget, turn a blind eye to the injustices and atrocities committed against an uncle, my mother's brother, but above all, the abuse on Dominican society at every level with the US government as the accomplice. Tan culpable es el que mata la vaca, como el que le agarra la pata.

No surprises . It was good old Unc that installed , maintained and supported the puppet king tyrant Batista before the great beard came riding in on his white horse . It was the same Eisenhower that said '' before the revolution , Cuba was an like an American subsidiary and a great economic asset '' .
This is factual that before the revolution , about 85 % of Cubas infrastructure was owned and controlled by our benevolant Uncle and if Castro had not come on the scene , Cuba would by this time have a sign hanging on its front door that says ''Beinvenidos a Cuba , American owned and operated since 1959 ''. The reality is , that if Uncle S. had allowed Castro to be the majority share holder in his own country , he would of been just as willing to move as far to the right as he did to the left ..Unfortunatley , Unc didnt get to hang his sign on Hispanola either .( That is until the great quake of 2010 ).

"En estos momentos, según informes obtenidos, Angelita vive predicando el evangelio en una logia Católica de New Born Christians, en Miami y prefiere pasar desapercibida en los círculos sociales de la Florida, tanto así que no habla español con casi nadie. Algunos dominicanos que la han visto aseguran que parece una norteamericana y nadie sospecha que se trate de ella, igual vida llevan sus hijos, una de sus hijas es Fiscal federal en Puerto Rico ,María de los Angeles Domínguez, actualmente dirige la fiscalía en el caso que se sigue al ex-gobernador de PR Acevedo Vilá."

"Joseph Cáceres en su interesante artículo que importantes sectores de la sociedad dominicana temblarían si Angelita se decidiera a revelar algunos documentos que incluso ha enseñado a algunos amigos que la han visitado en diferentes ocasiones en la ciudad de Miami, muchos altares y santos se caerían, en caso de que a la hija de Trujillo le diera con hacer ciertas revelaciones."

trujillo the worst dictator in the history of mankind.

blame uncle sam, blame the c.a., blame the whole world.
but he was dominican was he not?

"Scratching my Head here" !!!!


I know for a fact that most of todays DR problems where non-existance then.

Anywhere in the world you're found "conspiring"if caught the authorities wont let you pack. The people who "conspired" against the regime where after "Power". See, the people who rules DR today they're "Where" communist and revolutionaries", but today they're just "Pigs".

Reflexion.

etinnc01 Oh my God you live in the DR and bought a house too !!! there goes the neighborhood......

(to freedom)*** learn your facts the americans dint send cia to replace trujillo because of revolutions fears we got nothing that americans need so they dint care the only thing was they send the cia because they feared he was turning into communist and communism messes american money and "if you mess with us money your dead or bombed" this event we see in iraq we your friends blah blah but you mest up our money your bombed

guillermone,
just kidding= I wish on a star that Fernadez should join them.

" He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he is our son-of-a-bitch." was said by FDR, every lefty''s hero, about Samoza, not about Trujillo. NOT by Cordell Hull.

You don't know history, you're going to repeat it, including the inestimable horror of the Trujillo regime, a Dominican phenomenon for 31 years tolerated by Dominicans.

Can anyone say "peregil"

Basta , '' G '
God is capitalized, but the earth and your leo is HIS foot stool ..

God is capitalized, but the earth and your leo is HIS stool ..

gullermone , I just gave you one more point, You have three points now !
You so damn funny !!!!
By the way , you are still living in Washington Heights ?

Trujilio knows that non dominicanized haitians could'nt pronounce "perejil" for the simple fact that he was 1/4 haitian himself.
So un "pichón de haitiano" tried to genocide the very people he decended from,in the name of the Dominican people.
sound familiar???
Yes!!!!
The Fuhrer Hitler had some Jew blood in him.
Very funny Uhh.

snoopyy3k!
1/4 haitian Trujillio is nothing to be proud of.

Papo!!!!

Until October 1937, perejil, the Spanish word for parsley was just an herb sold in all of the peasant markets along the border shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic (DR). But one week in October, the word "perejil" became the arbiter of life and death. Those who could not roll the "r" off their tongues to show their Spanish heritage would face the machete's blows. By the end of that month, 20,000 bodies would disappear into mass unmarked graves or travel downstream with the river.

By the order of Dictator Raphael Trujillo and under the watchful silence of the Haitian president, entire communities along the Haitian-Dominican border were destroyed overnight. Dominicans who were once neighbors, friends and even spouses of Haitians were expected now to subscribe to Trujillo's vision for a mono-cultural and unilateral nation.

He was doing the devil's work.
nothing to be proud of.
My friend.

etiennc01,
says
"I can tell what you are going to say " Fuck you etiennc01, fuck you damn Haitian, fuck fuck fuck !"

Why do you think like that????
Why you always underestimated yourself????
Do you like been an underdog?????

etiennc01,
You need to grow some gonads my friend.

Trujillo's mass murder of Haitians simply reflects the inner self-hatred personality of a sociopath.
I have provided below a summary of most common characteristics typical of sociopaths and Trujillo fits most of them to a T.

The most notable features of his behavior were: delinquent teen-ager, sexually promiscuous with no limits, grandious sense of self-worth, lacked shame and remourse, callous towards others, poor impulse control and manipulative.

But above all Trujillo falsely "believed to be all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Profile of the Sociopath:

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.


Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."


Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

(conti)
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

(conti)
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

This is a preview of how LIE-onel Fernandez's offspring will romanticize and write about his current dictatorial reign!

jose n ann,
you so funny !

trujillo was a hitler wanna be

Trujillo!
