American-Backed Coups: How the CIA Destabilized South America

Dr.Docs' Take

This is the CIA's long record of quietly toppling elected South American governments, starting with the 1954 coup in Guatemala that basically wrote the playbook. Psychological warfare, a phantom radio army, and a democratically chosen leader gone. I do not need a theory here, this is declassified history. Watch it and understand why so much of the region still does not trust a certain three-letter agency.

This documentary examines the long history of American-backed coups across South and Central America. Beginning with the CIA's covert campaign in Guatemala, it reveals how psychological warfare and secret operations toppled governments and altered the course of nations. Drawing on declassified material, it traces the hidden hand of foreign intervention in the region's politics. Detailed and unsettling, it uncovers a pattern of interference with lasting consequences.
