Congratulations! This is wonderful journalism! Fact after Fact of documented Evil Machinations.... Knowing the people of several of the Nations victimized by CERIMEDO and Company (yes, that Company), I can say for sure that none of their working-class would vote fo the Compradors lately engineered into Power and again selling out their peoples.

Colombia’s election, was a filthy circus rigged to shove a crooked bastard into power. the new president as a sleazy cheerleader for drug mafias, a wannabe American patriot waving MAGA trash like some deranged cult mascot. he’s a dual‑passport clown, a bought‑and‑paid‑for puppet who sold Colombia’s spine for foreign approval and cartel crumbs, a joke of a leader stumbling into office on fraud fumes.

since them killed Allende and USA FMI Cia sett the lines for the Economy through the Plan Condor. Nothing new under the sun. Only more of the same.

Procedures are well explained by John Perkins books..

Shows what a vicious piece of corruption the far right is. They get into office steal all they can from the people and let the people sit with nothing. Might I add just like Trump and his administration

WTF. It's not bad enough that the US under Trump has screwed up the US economy (eviserating the American middle class), not to mention the damage he has done to the world business community), he is subjecting Latin America to evil or right governments.

Thank you Ben Norton for a thorough well written article on an important subject that no one else is covering.

You must have been under a rock, if you're blaming trump's neo-fascist regime, for the US's 80 years of imperialism and neo-colonialism, that the world has been subjected to.

Trump's the tip of the spear of US imperialism and the difference, is that he's dropped the facade of diplomacy and NGOs, that have cloaked the terrorist actions of previous regimes in Washington.

I'm well aware of US imperialism since WWII and before; however, Trump has intensified this mistaken policy, and has as you mentioned done it blatantly and without the facade of the previous US regimes.

It is wrong to assume that the USoA manipulated (which often suggest some level of brainwashing) the people of South America to vote for a criminal. If you pay attention to history, you will realise that because of the removal of any functional left movement from these countries, only the right-wing can organise. You will also realise that except Cuba, Haiti & Nicaragua, no other South American country has had a culture of resisting colonialism & imperialism in the past decades. This lack of cultural resistance is the main reason why these countries turn to their conquistador & fascist pasts (many of the elites are fascist). It is not a conspiracy of the USoA which only exploits the fertile ground these societies represent for racism & fascism. As long as these are not addressed, Latin America will remain a wretched place.

Ah yes, the legacy of Operation Paper Clip and the long list of regime change operations continues. Remember Giorgios Lambrakis. Thanks, Ben.

This is disturbing. It puts more pieces together, and validates suspicions that Trump has a whole international crime syndicate going.

Well why am I not surprised!
