Diego Rivera's enormous painting "Glorious Victory" showing Eisenhower's Sec. of State John Foster Dulles with Guatemala's US-installed new right-wing President, immediately after US troops overthrew the elected President Jacobo Arbenz in 1954. Also there, John Foster Dulles' brother, Allen Dulles, CIA director, and John Peurifoy, US ambassador to Guatemala. The missile bears the face of Dwight Eisenhower.
How much has really changed since then, after all?
(250,000 Guatemalan civilian human lives vaporized, mostly indigenous, in the following long war that followed. )
