US Warns of Bad Airspace, Ignores Its Own Jamming History
Bloomberg points to Venezuela's GPS interference as a grave concern, citing US warnings of hazardous airspace. The narrative implies a mysterious, internal failing or a nefarious, unnamed foreign actor—anyone but the usual suspect. This framing conveniently omits decades of US intelligence operations, where 'electronic warfare' is not just a concept but a documented tactic for destabilizing
perceived threats. One might recall the 2011 Libya intervention, where NATO – with heavy US involvement – employed sophisticated jamming technologies (Reuters, 2011). Or the numerous reports of GPS spoofing and jamming used globally by major powers. To present Venezuela's issues in a vacuum, devoid of the historical context of US interference in Latin American nations, is less journalism and more
selective amnesia. Perhaps the safest skies are those without Western 'aid' packages or freedom-spreading intervention.
