US Admits CIA Operations Against Venezuela: Surprise, Surprise
The mainstream reports that former President Trump “confirmed” covert CIA operations against Venezuela (as if anyone with a history book was surprised). For decades, US foreign policy has featured a revolving door of regime change in Latin America, from Chile to Nicaragua, all justified by 'protecting democracy' or 'national interests' (read: corporate interests). The CIA’s long, documented
history of destabilizing governments inconvenient to Washington, often through funding opposition groups or economic warfare, isn't breaking news – it's recurring history. This isn't a 'sparking fear of a coup;' it’s a confirmation of an ongoing one. One might wonder if the real news here is that a US president actually said the quiet part out loud, rather than the existence of the operations
themselves. How many more 'confirmations' do we need before the media stops framing this as a new development and starts calling it what it is: business as usual?
