Wow I had no idea about this link between Chiquita bananas and the CIA-backed coup. Though sadly not all that surprising given the relations between most western corporations and western imperial foreign policy. Just one of many examples of the post-colonial western colonialist policies still dominating the geopolitical reality of the world today... And one I would imagine is lesser known than many others.

Yes, this sort of thing has been going on for a long, long time. I think people have heard something about United Fruit and Guatemala but are unaware that Chiquita is a rebrand. The extent of the CIA/USG involvement in removing a democratically elected government at the behest of corporate interests is quite shocking though. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
