51. After all, it's not as if our government has been trying to destroy that government from the moment

Fri Mar 1, 2019, 06:22 PM

Mar 2019

it was learned Hugo Chavez was going to run for the Presidency.

That just wouldn't happen, would it?

"Make the economy scream" HAS worked perfectly for them before, but nooooo, they aren't interested in destroying ALL leftist governments and controlling every government in the Americas, are they?

Many serious adults have learned about Richard M. Nixon's order to his CIA chief, Richard Helms whe he told him he intended to "make the economy scream" in Chile, just as other economies have been made to scream around the world when they got on the wrong side of a belligerent anti-Democratic Washington administration. People who don't spend their lives drunk have time to study, and think, and go ahead and learn those things the corporate media never felt like sharing with the US population.
