US Embassy 'False Flag': Venezuela Knows Washington's Playbook
DW reports that Venezuela claims to have foiled a 'false flag' plot targeting the US embassy. This is framed as a potentially outlandish accusation by a 'socialist government'. What the story leaves out, however, is the extensive, documented history of US-backed coups and destabilization efforts in Latin America—including multiple attempts against Venezuela's government itself. From the 1973
Chilean coup to the 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt, allegedly backed by Washington, the US has a well-worn playbook for 'regime change' that often involves orchestrating internal unrest or creating pretexts for intervention. So, when Venezuela cries 'false flag', perhaps it's less paranoia and more a recognition of historical patterns. One might wonder why any nation, especially one targeted by US
sanctions and rhetoric, would be surprised to find such plots afoot. Could it be that for some countries, 'diplomacy' is just a prelude to 'destabilization'? The very idea of a 'false flag' seems to perfectly align with Washington's known, if unacknowledged, toolkit.
