The examples were not honest at the time. They only seem so to you through the lens of history. You think the banana companies plainly said "we want to change the government, kill any opposition if necessary, just to make more money"? That's just our view now. Because there's nothing more to be gained from clouding the issue. They made the money, time has passed, there's no way to reach back and change anything. At the time, they pretended they had other reasons, to get support from people who didn't understand the situation. Just like it happens now.
