Mainstream Media Discovers CIA Playbooks Are Repeattable
The story focuses on how the US move against Maduro mirrors the CIA's past actions in Chile, including economic strangulation and support for opposition figures. What the FT carefully omits from its 'revelation' is the historical tapestry woven with countless other threads: Nicaragua, Guatemala, Iran, Cuba, Indonesia, and Afghanistan, where the US has consistently leveraged economic blockades and
covert operations to destabilize governments not aligned with its interests. This isn't a new playbook; it's the only playbook they seem to own for 'democracy promotion' abroad. Instead of merely identifying a 're-run,' perhaps the mainstream press could scrutinize why this particular show keeps getting renewed, regardless of who's in the Oval Office. It almost suggests a system designed for
perpetual intervention, where 'democracy' is a convenient label for compliance. How many 'eerie parallels' does it take before it's just considered standard operating procedure?
