When MTG Gets It Right, Media Scrubs The 'Why'
Newsweek highlighted Rep. Greene's assertion that a 'Venezuelan operation' doesn't benefit America. What the mainstream media *won't* connect is the long, sordid history of US interventions in Latin America, often fueled by corporate interests, not genuine national security. From the 1973 Chilean coup (supported by the CIA against democratically elected Salvador Allende) to the Bay of Pigs, these
operations rarely serve the American public, but undeniably enrich defense contractors and destabilize sovereign nations for resource control. Instead of critiquing the sentiment, which aligns with a non-interventionist foreign policy that many Americans across the political spectrum support, the focus is on the source. It's a classic media maneuver: discredit the voice to avoid discussing the
uncomfortable truth—that US foreign policy repeatedly prioritizes geopolitical chess over the actual interests of its citizens or the sovereignty of other nations. One might wonder if the 'American interest' always aligns with 'corporate profit.'
