NPR Discovers Wall Street Profits From 'Intervention' Abroad
The mainstream media, ever so gently, nudges us to consider how 'President Trump's military action in Venezuela' might pad the pockets of U.S. investors, not just Big Oil. It's almost as if—and brace yourself for this earth-shattering revelation—U.S. foreign policy has a consistent, uncanny knack for enriching a select few. This pattern, however, isn't unique to Trump or Venezuela. One might
recall the conveniently profitable 'rebuilding efforts' in Iraq or the lucrative 'stabilization' contracts awarded to firms with deep D.C. connections over the decades. Instead of merely pondering the *how* Wall Street profits, perhaps we should question the *why* this isn't the lead story every time 'intervention' or 'regime change' is floated. How many 'national security' crises mysteriously
emerge in resource-rich nations or those strategically positioned for corporate expansion? The silence on this consistent historical thread is as deafening as the cheerleading for 'democracy promotion.' It seems 'democracy' is particularly attractive when it comes with a side of quarterly earnings.
