So when is the CIA going to activate the Colombian-based proxy (mercenary) forces inside Venezuela pretending to be yet another home grown coup? It's like a slow motion #BayofPigs. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The history of "Self Defense" groups is fascinating. Even the FARC began as a self defense brigade waaaaay back after WW2. It took decades for Colombia to end the brutal fighting now they are being reinvented by the CIA in Venezuela. venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/11486
I spent time with the leaders of the FARC, the AUC, the military, police and government understanding how they had at war for so long and the root causes of the violence. Much of it caused by outside agitators. My best line to Mono "Stop pumping that Marxist sunshine up my ass"
FYI. All those people I argued with are now dead. I don't know if that means I won the argument. theguardian.com/world/2010/oct…
