Reply #144: It's not a conspiracy theory, it's our policy.

You can go to the State Department site and look up the money they allocate for "building democracy" via USAID and NED and then track that money to opposition groups. You can probably go to the Pentagon site and check out our facilities in the region, too, including the seven new ones we will be using in Colombia. And why are we giving "military aid" to Peru? No one is threatening Peru. That money and those weapons are used by the government to keep the population in line when they protest their own exploitation by mining companies that have bribed the government. You get the idea.

I wish it were a conspiracy theory, seriously.
