Speak Softly Carry Big Stick - JLS
A US Intervention in Latin America themed video for the track "Speak Softly, Carry Big Stick" off the Un Año de ODIO, Un Siglo de Miedo album by Dominican Republic metal band, JLS.
The video begins with this quote from the Monroe Doctrine :
"We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety."
and ends with Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.
"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
