(Excerpt) President Johnson asserted again'on 2 May' that the'United States does
not 3zttend to interfere. in the domestic affairs of the Dominican Republic. What
hypocrisyt? In the same breath he stated: We must use all available means to
prevent a second Cuba from coming into existence in our hemisphere. What does
determination of nations, which it likes toIcite.so frequently, whenever a nation'
does not obligingly fit into its political schemes?
Self-determination of the nations of America is to be dictated by Washington.
Undoubtedly, this'is the main reason for Washington's intervention. Nowhere is it
better known than in the White House what a wave of hatred exists in all of
.Latin America against-U.S. imperialism. While the. United States has been 'able ..during the past 40 years to take care of its interests in these states through
.politicians and militarists dependent on it or through invasions of mercenaries,'''."
as, for example, in 1954 in Guatemala, today it can no longer use this camouflage
because the broad masses have become politically conscious and intervene
in the struggles.
.Latin America has become a volcanic continent wherein a tremox.can cause deep
earthquakes. In order to prevent them, Johnson intervenes with brutal force.
With his military force, he is currently trying to keep in power a reactionary ,
antipopular dictatorship which 'represents the interests of the United States,
and to smash the Dominican people's struggle for freedom and independence' by
disregarding their elementary rights.
After the expansion of the dirty war against the Vietnamese people, after the
bombing, attacks on the DRV,and on Laos, after the. Congo.intervention, U.S.
imperialism adds a new link to the chain of its aggressions. It will dictate
its will. to all nations and smash the national liberation movements under the
'
pretense that theyj
are'being subverted by the communists. '
Durijig;the fighting in Santo Domingo, the chief of the U.S. CIA espionage
service, William Raborn, notes that the number of communist leaders totals
two to eight. So 1LF,000:.leathernecks were used against then. The explanation
is grotesque and 'cannot cover the U.S. longing for power.;1.
