Bloomberg Hails Venezuela's Independence, Forgets 30 Years of CIA
Delcy Rodríguez tells Bloomberg 'no foreign power governs the nation,' as if the US hasn't treated Latin America as its personal banana republic for centuries. This statement follows decades of documented US interference, including the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez, directly backed by the Bush administration (see: Eva Golinger's 'The Chávez Code'). One might charitably call this
'historical amnesia' on Bloomberg's part, or perhaps, simply 'PR for the powerful.' Venezuela makes a reasonable claim to self-determination, yet any mention of US meddling is conspicuously absent from the mainstream narrative. Why does Bloomberg only question foreign influence when it aligns with perceived US adversaries, rarely scrutinizing the very real, often violent, history of Uncle Sam's
'help' in the region? How many 'color revolutions' does it take before we acknowledge the hypocrisy?
