This week in 1928, a US-backed Colombian regime opened fire on a crowd of striking banana workers, killing up to 3,000 men, women & children. Their bodies were then buried in mass graves. The massacre was conducted by order of the US-owned United Fruit Company & US government.
The striking workers were demanding a 6-day work week, an 8 hour day, better housing & to be paid in money instead of food coupons. The US/ Colombian governments labeled the strikers communists in an attempt to discredit them & justify violence being used against them.
The United Fruit Company (now Chiquita) & the US gov demanded the Colombian regime of Miguel Abadía Méndez crush the strikes. The US threatened to Invade Colombia or cut off trade if the strike wasn’t put down. The US even sent a warship to anchor offshore during the operation.

“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” Frederick Douglass July 5, 1852 Mr. President, Friends and Fellow Citizens:

He who could address this audience without a quailing sensation, has stronger nerves than I have. I do not remember ever to have appeared as 1/
a speaker before any assembly more shrinkingly, nor with greater distrust of my ability, than I do this day. A feeling has crept over me, quite unfavorable to the exercise of my limited powers of speech. 2/
The task before me is one which requires much previous thought and study for its proper performance. I know that apologies of this sort are generally considered flat and unmeaning. I trust, however, that mine will not be so considered. 3/

On this day in 1948, Korea’s Jeju Uprising began, which the US & its South Korean junta cracked down on viciously as part of its war on communists. The US/SK unleashed a campaign of terror, massacring 30,000 civilians, using mass torture & torching 70% of the island’s villages.
Under US military occupation, US/SK forces killed 100,000 ppl in South Korea between 1945-1950, mostly alleged communists. The campaign of US/SK violence accelerated on Jeju Island on April 3, 1948, when the uprising began in opposition to US plan to separate N. & S. Korea.
The US/SK & their right-wing thugs began a campaign to cleanse the island of supposed communist agitators. The police/army declared the forested interior of the inland to be enemy territory & they executed thousands.
