Thomas; why are you so surprised about Washington’s assault on independent nations around the World? Now if some of your viewers can extend past their limited attention span, they may remember it wasn’t long ago you were calling for the overthrow of Maduro in Venezuela, justifying the Bolivian coup and the overthrow of the Morales government, and calling for the prosecution of Julian Assange who exposed crimes against democracy like these along with vicious US imperial war crimes. In your recent narrative, you have clearly shown you can certainly turn the perception of your political views and your morality on a dime for the almighty dollar.
Thomas, surely you understand the Organization of American States is just a tool of Washington; to be used where necessary to capture resources and markets for western plutocrats. Understand that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on the planet and Bolivia has some of the largest Lithium reserves on the planet; when Washington is involved, this is no coincidence. If you look around the world, most US aggression is due to resources, markets, and hegemony. Just as Trump and Bolton said the intent of their assault on Venezuela was to take their oil, the Bolivian coup has now been renamed the Lithium coup by many. Maybe you should return to an earlier time to understand the real intent of Washington. Revise the killing of Allende by the CIA because of his nationalization of his country’s copper mines and Washington’s installation of Pinochet. Surely you must remember Nixon and Kissinger’s “Make the economy (Chilean) scream” of the early 1980 where Milton Friedman and James Buchanan were sent to do Washington’s dirty work. This current Bolivian coup is just an ongoing extension of the plutocrats’ Monroe Doctrine; surely you can be this ignorant!
So Thomas, have you changed your Imperial direction for the last time or will you swing again to the dark-side if directed by your Washington masters? If Hartmann continues along this path, I wonder if he can ever coax Thomas Frank or even the great Chris Hedges on this show ever again.
