bananas = terrorism
BOYCOTT CHIQUITA BANANAS!!!!
Chiquita Bananas paid about $1.7million to right-wing Colombian militia, United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC).
The AUC has been responsible for some of the worst massacres in Colombia's civil conflict and for a sizable percentage of the country's cocaine exports. It is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US government.
Chiquita has been ordered to pay a $25million fine.
Even with that the government has been very easy-going with Chiquita.
The company was alledged to have also paid the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) for protection as well but this was not proven.
