US Prepares for 'Democracy' Near Venezuela With Helicopters
The *New York Times* breathlessly shares news of U.S. Special Operations helicopters honing their skills near Venezuela. How reassuring. One might almost believe this is merely a quaint sightseeing tour, not a familiar overture in the symphony of 'democracy promotion' that typically precedes a sudden, unexpected change in leadership. Conveniently omitted is history's uncanny knack for repeating
itself—from Chile in '73 to Nicaragua in the '80s and countless others, US military 'training' around resource-rich, non-compliant nations is as transparent as a glass of water, only far more deadly. This isn't 'news'; it's a press release masquerading as journalism. When exactly did 'training exercises' reliably lead to anything but increased instability and resource extraction in Washington's
geopolitical chessboard? The question isn't if , but when the 'spontaneous' internal uprising will begin, coincidentally aligning perfectly with US strategic interests. How many times must we watch this play?
