The front cover of the paperback edition of William Blum’s “Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War Two (Updated Edition). Blum documents the long history of illegal, violent, terrorist, espionage, political and military interventions against foreign governments that pursue socialist objectives or even nationalist interests that don’t perfectly align with the interests of the rich U.S. economic ruling class and their monopolistic corporations. Blum reveals that up to 70 nations have been the victim of U.S. aggression since the end of WWII. He also shows the various elaborate ruses the U.S. government employs to prepare the “reasons” for invasion and foreign coups. Including the secret creation, funding, and arming of militarized drug cartels in foreign countries to destabilize “enemy” governments, then cynically using the presence of these violent criminal capitalist operations to justify the “need” to intervene. Read Blum’s books now to understand what the fascist Trump U.S. government is doing TODAY in Venezuela and Latin America. Venezuela owns the WORLDS LARGEST OIL RESERVES and Venezuelan governments have refused to allow rich U.S. billionaires to steal this resource for themselves. So now Trump has shamefully ordered the US military and its personnel to engage in pursuing a lie to conceal a crime. Theft of these oil reserves from the socialist Venezuelan government and the common people of Venezuela to benefit the criminal cartel of U.S. billionaire owned and operated oil corporations!

Don’t believe our U.S.A. is the #monopolycapitalist #imperialist #fascist danger? Ready to coup or invade any govt. that suits our US billionaire ruling class. #WilliamBlum has written on our extensive history of rogue state behaviour. The worst such state in world history. #AmericanExceptionalism.
