Calling Maduro "a crazy conspiracy theorist" for arguing the CIA was trying to overthrow its government shows is a long-standing CIA/media tactic. As CIA destabilizes and overthrows governments in every region, the US corporate media disparages anyone who says this as a "fringe conspiracy theorist."

When CIA helped engineer the overthrow of Brazil's elected government in 1964 (replaced by a pro-US military junta), the NYT maligned as anti-American crazies those (in Brazil and the US) who insisted the CIA was centrally involved. (Of course, such people objecting to the CIA role also got accused of "denying agency to the Brazilian people" (standard propaganda line still used now for those opposed to CIA regime-change efforts)).

Much of the CIA file on Brazil's 1964 coup was declassified and released a decade later. Almost all of it now is. The proof of key CIA involvement and directing of the coup under first JFK and then LBJ is overwhelming.

Indeed, even the US Govt admits it played a decisive role in Brazil's coup after spending a decade angrily denying it and having the NYT and TIME do so as well (this same cycle repeated itself, and still does, in multiple countries).

But it never matters: the next time someone says "the CIA is trying to regime-change country X," their friendly media call everyone "conspiracy theorists" until the full files are released the next decade.

Murphy, the Kiev Coup Clown brother of John McCain, appears to be biting his nails in orgasmic anticipation.

Meanwhile Russia has called for the immediate release of Maduro. Wicked tongues suggest Trump will have to obey. Because puppet.

It's almost like they learned nothing from their exploits in Central America and just moved a little further south.

Persistent paranoiacs accuse Maduro of (CIA) paranoia despite being obviously right.

So, unless I have missed something, I have heard no reports on the US bombing any Venezuelan drug boats since Maduro’s removal.

I guess the farce of taking out drug boats to protect US citizens has run it’s course since we seized the “prize” or maybe Venezuelan cartels just stopped manufacturing drugs altogether when they realized what a bad-ass Trump is.

So Trump convened a Who’s Who of all of the top oil CEOs looking for fawning approval of this actions in Venezuela and a commitment to invest in the Venezuelan oil industry.
 
…and got nothing. How could that happen?
