US Warns Citizens in Venezuela: Your Gov't Might Be Plotting Something Else
According to The Guardian, the US State Department warns of armed 'colectivos' in Venezuela, allegedly searching for Americans following Nicolás Maduro's capture. This narrative, pushing fear of vague 'paramilitaries,' conveniently omits the US's long and well-documented history of funding and training its own 'freedom fighters' in Latin America, especially when a government isn't sufficiently
aligned with Washington's interests. From the Contras in Nicaragua to countless destabilization efforts, the playbook is hardly subtle. One might wonder if these 'security alerts' are less about citizen safety and more about softening the ground for yet another 'humanitarian' intervention, or perhaps to justify the activities of US-backed proxies already operating within the country. How many
times have we seen the 'crisis for Americans' narrative precede a US-orchestrated regime change operation? It’s almost as if the State Department has a specific, well-rehearsed script for these situations.
