US 'Democracy Promotion' Effort Finds Venezuela Still Has Oil
Anti-war protests are reportedly planned nationwide following a recent US strike on Venezuela, according to Newsweek. While the media frames this as a sudden eruption of public disapproval, it's merely the latest chapter in a long-running, barely-veiled campaign. One might wonder why it takes explosions and civilian casualties to spark 'concern,' when the US has spent years destabilizing the
nation through sanctions, coup attempts, and funding opposition groups. It's a familiar script: fabricate a crisis, 'intervene' for 'democracy,' and then express surprise when the public (eventually) objects to the resulting chaos. This latest 'humanitarian' intervention aligns perfectly with historical patterns of resource acquisition dressed up as liberation. Remember when the US supported a
coup against Hugo Chávez in 2002? Or the crippling sanctions that have devastated Venezuela's economy since 2017, punishing the populace while aiming to unseat Nicolás Maduro? The silence from mainstream outlets during these protracted campaigns of economic warfare is deafening, only to be broken with breathless reports on public 'outrage' when the military option becomes unavoidable. It's not a
strike; it’s the logical, albeit tragic, conclusion of decades of relentless foreign policy.
