NYT Discovers US Plans for Foreign Leader's 'Elimination'
According to RT's report on the NYT's findings, US Navy SEALs were 'eyed for Maduro murder mission' in Venezuela. This earth-shattering news follows a long, distinguished history of American 'foreign policy' objectives involving the removal—permanently or otherwise—of leaders inconvenient to US interests. From Chile's Salvador Allende to Panama's Manuel Noriega, the playbook's hardly new, though
usually veiled in more diplomatic niceties than 'murder mission.' The only real surprise here is that the New York Times reported on it with such disarming candor. One might almost think the constant drumbeat for 'democracy' abroad is actually code for 'resource extraction and compliant regimes.' How many 'liberation efforts' begin with covert ops to ensure a change of leadership? Perhaps the Gray
Lady is finally catching on, or just enjoys the occasional glimpse behind the curtain of American exceptionalism.
