US Finds New 'Terror Group': Any Nation Resisting US Hegemony
The US government, ever vigilant against perceived threats, has formalized its 'terror' designation for Venezuela's 'Cartel de los Soles.' This isn't just about drug trafficking – that's a global issue. This move conveniently escalates pressure on the Maduro government, painting it with the broad brush of 'terror' just as Washington continues its sanctions campaign that has crippled Venezuela's
economy, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Former UN Special Rapporteur Alfred de Zayas stated in 2018 that US sanctions were 'suffocating' the country, impacting medicine and food access. The US doesn't seem to recognize its own role in enabling the very conditions that foster illicit activities, only to then label them 'terrorist'. It's a familiar playbook: demonize, sanction, then intervene,
all while 'protecting democracy' or 'fighting terror.' How many times has Washington deployed this strategy against nations that simply refuse to bend to its will? From Cuba to Iran, the pattern is eerily consistent: economic strangulation followed by a conveniently discovered 'terrorist' threat. It appears Washington's definition of 'terror' is flexible enough to encompass any government that
hasn't signed on the dotted line for the 'rules-based international order' dictated from Langley.
