SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: If a nation seeks true independence, if it dares to feed its own people, nationalize its resources, or choose leaders Washington disapproves of, the price is siege, sabotage, and slaughter.

You’re absolutely right, my friend, and that is the curse of Latin America. For five centuries, this hemisphere was never sovereign. It was a raw material to be processed, a market to be conquered, a people to be tamed. First came the Spanish, obsessed with gold and blood. They plundered and slaughtered, then handed the keys to London, British financiers, not conquistadors, now decided whose ports would open, whose debts would crush, whose caudillos would reign. Independence was a mirage. The flags changed, the chains stayed. Then came the Americans, bearing the Monroe Doctrine like a holy writ, brandishing "liberty" as a cudgel. They overthrew, installed, blackmailed, and blockaded. They turned republics into plantations for United Fruit, Standard Oil, and Anaconda Copper. They called it freedom while they trained torturers and armed death squads. They praised "democracy" as they hunted poets, peasants, and priests. And always, the same logic: If a nation seeks true independence, if it dares to feed its own people, nationalize its resources, or choose leaders Washington disapproves of, the price is siege, sabotage, and slaughter. Bolívar saw it all before it happened. When he warned that "the United States seems destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty," He wasn’t making prophecy. He was defining the pattern, the eternal masquerade of empire in republican clothes. The U.S. didn’t "liberate" Latin America. It perfected the machine of foreign rule, hiding the whip in the rhetoric of free markets and human rights. No empire has been more hypocritical, More sanctimonious in its violence, Or more relentless in punishing any attempt at dignity. They installed compradores and viceroys, Dressed them as "partners" and "allies", And called the result a rules-based order. This is not history. It is ongoing theft. The U.S. exports dependency the way it exports weapons: As policy. As business. As gospel. The greatest shame is not that Latin America’s pain began with Spain, But that it continues, uninterrupted, under the shadow of Washington, Still dressed as "freedom", Still enforced at gunpoint, Still sold as civilization to a world that knows better.

Economically, socially, politically, Spanish America was always full of problems. Read Humboldt! The white powers abused it as resource colony. Independence from ESP brought dependence from UK, then dependence and oppression from US. All installed compradores and viceroys.
