Obama Chavez's Book Choice is not to be desired; Eduardo Galeano’s Hate Book led hundreds of Innocent Americans/Europeans to their Unfortunate Doom:
By Marc Chamot

What Hugo Chavez, and Eduardo Galeano’s book to President Barack Obama represents, should be very troubling for Americans and Europeans. It could be of real concern for the future of the United States and Europe.

“Eduardo Galeano’s book is a hate book.

The book alone that this man wrote about Americans and Europeans as being the “the evil rich American and European thieves, who are stealing and raping our lands.” Accusing them of exploiting and raping their lands, like thieves that come into the night, and who keeps them poor.

His book caused so much damage; it caused so much unnecessary grief, and hatred towards Americans and Europeans that it is still going on today.”

Most illegal immigrants from Central and South America who come into the United States, they still carry their Anti-American, left-wing resentments towards America, because of this book.

I was born in Latin America back around 1958. My first childhood years there, as a white fair skinned individual of European descent, I felt those anti-Gringo racism of hate which persisted.

Back in the sixties, while still living in Latin America, there were always these anti-American and anti-European sentiments among Latin Americans, but they never were so bad, until after this racist, journalist/writer Eduardo Galeano’s 1971 book, which infuriated many Latin Americans, and created so much hate, anger, and resentments towards Europeans, but mainly Americans, from the coast of Brazil, Colombia, to Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and other countries.

This book alone caused the unnecessary confiscations of thousands of American/European industries and investments, kidnappings and including the murders of many innocent Americans, and European tourists, and businessmen through out the decades, from Central America to South America, ever since the book was published.

Right after World War II, the United States and Europe had an industrial revolution, all of the war effort industries, were converted for civilian use. With this entire explosion came the demand for more affordable oil, gas and other natural resources. And at the time, Latin America was ripe for the oil industries to blossom.

The American and the European oil companies and other industries all went to Latin America; where they mainly went to Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela and Chile. They made their deals with despots and dictators of these banana republics at the time. Other natural resources were in high demand, like copper, sulfur, lumber and others.

But no sooner a deal was being made, these oil companies after investing millions upon millions of dollars, where these unstable governments would overthrow their leaders through coup d’états, and they would immediately nationalize, legally steal their oil and gas industry and other investments.

They were all basically stealing these companies’ oil rig equipments, machinery, transportation logistics, pipelines and so forth. Other industries were also being affected by some of these despots, such as copper mining, banking and other industries.

Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is a prime example of one of those thieves in action, who sucked in foreign investors and their money dry, then to steal it all away from them. Fidel Castro did it in 1959, Chile’s Salvador Allende tried to do it in 1970, and Chavez did it around 1998.

The rise of Cuba’s Fidel Castro in 1959 and the communist movement in Latin America were the start of anti-American and Anti-European movement.

However, the United States government couldn’t sit still and watch their industries being STOLEN by these GREEDY despots. Under presidents John F. Kennedy to Richard Nixon, we did have some American government sanctioned and a foreign political assassinations and backing up coup d’états.

An attempt on Fidel Castro’s life for one, and the other was the CIA sanctioned overthrow of former president of Chile’s Salvador Allende in 1973.

This leftist president was elected in 1970 and immediately nationalized, stole, American copper mining industries and banks, but President Richard Nixon wasn’t about to let that happen, the CIA in conjunction with Augusto Pinochet, then leader of the Chilean army orchestrated the 1973 coup d’état that killed and got rid of this leftist scoundrel Allende.

And also according to Wikipedia “Allende, upon assuming power, he began to carry out his platform of implementing a socialist program called La vía chilena al socialismo ("the Chilean Path to Socialism"). This included nationalization of large-scale industries (notably copper mining and banking). The Allende government also announced it would default on debts owed to international creditors and foreign governments.”

“Allende was accused of disregarding the courts, attempting to restrict freedom of speech, and supporting unauthorized seizures of farms and private industry for the purpose of establishing state control of the economy. The Chamber of Deputies also attacked Allende for seeking to "establish a totalitarian system absolutely opposed to the representative system of government established by the Constitution." However, a majority in the Senate still held firm for Allende.”

Unfortunately for Chile, they were gripped with years of relentless authoritarian and deadly dictatorship rule under Augusto Pinochet.

The sad truth about Eduardo Galeano’s Book that was given to President Barack Obama by Hugo Chavez:

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent (in Spanish Las venas abiertas de América Latina) is an essay written by Uruguayan journalist Eduardo Galeano in 1971.

“In Open Veins of Latin America Galeano analyzes the history of Latin America as a whole, from the time period of the European discovery of the New World to contemporary Latin America arguing against European and later U.S. economic exploitation and political dominance over the region. The Library Journal review stated, "Well written and passionately stated this is an intellectually honest and valuable study."

His book also caused so much unnecessary damage to many American and European tourists all around Central to South America. Relentless kidnappings and even murders were very common. And now illegal immigrants are coming here, with their anti-American, take everything, give me; you owe me, mentality that this book portrays.
