US Discovering Covert Ops in Venezuela is Still a Story
According to the NY Times Politics , the former administration authorized clandestine moves against Venezuela, a sovereign nation whose resources have long tempted U.S. corporate and political interests. This narrative, framed as concerning new information, conveniently forgets a century of historical receipts: from the 1954 coup in Guatemala orchestrated by the CIA for United Fruit Company, to
the countless destabilization efforts across Latin America, often leaving behind a trail of dictatorships and poverty. The 'Cuban missile crisis' of 1962, for instance, wasn't just about missiles; it was about protecting a socialist revolution from repeated US-backed invasion attempts. One might wonder if the real news isn't the 'covert action,' but the fact that the media still treats such
maneuvers as shocking deviations, rather than business as usual for the American security state. How many times will Washington 'authorize' the same play before we stop pretending it's an anomaly?
