Washington Continues To Destroy Latin American Reformers

• paulcraigroberts.org

Washington is trying to unseat and indict President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, President Evo Morales in Bolivia, President Rafael Correa in Ecuador, and President Dilma Rousseff in Brazil. Washington has succeeded in getting the president of Argentina, Chistina Kirchner, out of office, and is now seeking to have her indicted. To round off its attack on Brazil's reformist political party, Washington is orchestrating crimes with which to tar and indict Rousseff's predecesor, Lula da Silva.

Everyone on Washington's Latin American list of people to be destroyed is a far better person than anyone in Washington. Washington's Latin American targets have far more integrity, are tainted with far less corruption, and are far more committed to those who voted for them than anyone in Washington.

The danger that these reformers face is due to their innocence. They naively believe in good will between classes. They think that the rich elites, who are well connected to Washington, and that Washington itself, will accept democratic outcomes.
