Olympian John Carlos Speaks on Tlatelolco

John Carlos, Olympian made famous for his Black Power salute at the 1968 Summer Games in Mexico City, was asked if he knew about the Tlatelolco massacre during an Occupy Chicago rally in 2011. He gave a very interesting answer. Not only did he know about it, he has since learned some very damning details.

Dr. Carlos has knowledge of the Government of Mexico burning the bodies of student protesters killed at Tlatelolco in furnaces in order to disappear them and avoid international scrutiny days before the ’68 Summer Olympics. Sound familiar? He also has reason to believe the U.S. Navy sent ships to assist president Díaz Ordaz in dumping the protesters’ bodies in the ocean.

Worth a watch!

“A lot of people think ‘Yeah, he stood there and wore a badge, but it wasn’t a badge, it was a black badge. He was supporting American and Australian black civil rights, and for a white guy to do that in this country was dangerous,” Matt Norman says of his uncle’s actions.
