but most Trujillo titles are actually published by his enemies and people that simply don't like the man. Every year new books on Trujillo are published too.
They need to keep the distorted revisionist history alive.................

Thanks for reminding me how closed minded and stupid racists areBetter to have no hearts than to have no brains to be capable of discerning through the hypocrisy of some people, to whom Haitian lives only matter when the Dominican pendejos are the ones to take it. When the case is Americans, Euros, or even themselves being the victimizers, noooooooo, pa' lante, down with nigs, everything else be damned.

Apply that to yourself for it shows in ALL your posts about Dominicans.
Wasn't Luis Amamia Tio one of them? That's the official name of Camino chiquito in Arroyo Hondo.When I lived in Santiago, I took a concho in which the driver had a 20 peso bill with Trujillo on the bill, hanging on the rearview mirror. I asked him if it was real, he said it was. I've seen it online but dont know if it was real. Anyway he told me Trujillo started out fine and did all the right things. But after one or two presidential periods he had had a taste of power and didnt want to relinquish it of course with the help of MANY stayed in power all those years doing all those atrocities. I wonder how MANY of those many were still living in DR and maybe even running the country? And maybe now their sons and grandsons inherited the benefits and have certain positions(social, economic and /or politically) to this day? The Trujillos left but how about all of those who benefitted from him all those years. I lived in Moca for awhile and there are a lot of streets have the names of Trujillo's assassins, heroes of the nation. Why don't they have streets named after them in the capital or in other parts of the country? I know in Santiago some of them do? Its almost like their sacrifice is being slowly erased or forgotten. Does anyone know?
Hi Mauricio. I don't know the capital too well. how about Imbert Barrera?
There is a street called Imbert, but no idea if that's referring to Imbert Barreras.
Seeing the names I recognize the following street names:
- Tunti Caceres (Ensanche la Fe / Villa Juana
- Roberto Pastoriza
- Pedro Livio Cede?o
- Luis Amiama Tio (a grandson or cousin of him is in my church, he's a painter or so)
- Estrella Sadhalla (Santo DOmingo Este)

You missed my point...they all have streets in their hometowns, and in some dark corners of the capital...fine.... BUT
they should all be honored and remembered, just like the Mirabal Sisters are, every year....all were victims of Trujillo before or after his death...those guys who had the balls to go after el chivo were then BETRAYED, HUNTED DOWN,TORTURED AND MURDERED and most likely some of their families as well. Yet they picture them in the "most wanted" poster fashion when they do show them on the media. I feel they purposely do that. What a slap in the face. That has got to change.

Hi Mauricio. I don't know the capital too well. how about Imbert Barrera? They both survived. The others were all murdered by Ramfis and his Thugs. Ramfis's "accident" was payback IMO. There should be bigger honors for all of them. It seems to me that whoever is writing history is trying to forget them. Only more recently are they being more recognized. Are there books by close relatives or friends of the conspirators? or is there only "official" version of the story? Like the one below.... CIA was involved, etc.... and why is daughter of Trujillo's book not permitted in DR but other books are?

In this picture Luis”Tio” Amiama and General Antonio Imbert Barreras they were two of Trujillo’s assassins. Trujillo was shot dead by members of his own armed forces Modesto D?az, Salvador Estrella Sahdal?, Antonio de la Maza, el Teniente Amado Garc?a Guerrero, Manuel “Tunti” C?ceres Michel, Juan Tom?s D?az, Roberto Pastoriza, Luis Amiama Ti?, General Antonio Imbert Barreras, Pedro Livio Cede?o, Hu?scar Tejeda y otros., on May 30, 1961 while traveling in an automobile. It has been said that his killers uttered the words "This is the end, Bottlecaps" just before the assassination. He was shot five times at point blank range, then his body was thrown into the trunk of the car and taken from the scene. The CIA had provided weapons, which were kept by Simon Thomas Stocker, an American citizen, code named "Hector" by the CIA, and resident of the Dominican Republic since 1942, who declined CIA compensation for his efforts. The weapons were hidden for more than two months, at his own risk, inside a small closet in his personal study at his private residence, previously located on Independencia Avenue, near the crossing with General M?ximo G?mez Avenue. My uncle General Imbert told me that one on one he was a great person, a person who took care of his family and would do anything for his people. He also said that in his early years as president he only wanted to make Dominican Republic one of the great nations in the world. He improved the military and organized a government to help the people, General Imbert also said that it is no mistake that Trujillo brought the country out of a depression. It wasnt till later in his rule that he became a vicious dictator "enotonces fue que a via que controlar lo" ( it was then that he had to be controlled). "lo que yo heice fue por la patria" (what i did was for my country).
