A wave of
neoliberal onslaught shakes currently Latin America. While in
Argentina, Mauricio Macri allegedly took the power normally, the
constitutional coup
against Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, as well as, the usual actions of the Right opposition in Venezuela against
Nicolás Maduro with the help of the US finger recently, are far more
obvious.
The special
weight of these three countries in Latin America is extremely
important for the US imperialism to regain ground in the global
geopolitical arena. Especially the last ten to fifteen years, each of
them developed increasingly autonomous policies away from the US
close custody, under Leftist governments, and this was something that
alarmed the US imperialism components.
Brazil
appears to be the most important among the three, not only due to its
size, but also as a member of the BRICS, the team of fast growing
economies who threaten the US and generally the Western global
dominance. The constitutional coup against Rousseff was rather a
sloppy action and reveals the anxiety of the US establishment to
regain control through puppet regimes. This is a well-known situation
from the past through which the establishment attempts to secure
absolute dominance in the US backyard.
The
importance of Venezuela due to its oil reserves is also significant.
When Maduro tried to approach Russia in order to strengthen the
economic cooperation between the two countries, he must had set the
alarm for the neocons in the US. Venezuela could find an alternative
in Russia and BRICS, in order to breath from the multiple economic
war that was set off by the US. It is characteristic that the
economic war against Russia by the US and the Saudis, by keeping the
oil prices in historically low levels, had significant impact on the
Venezuelan economy too. It is also known that the US organizations
are funding the opposition since Chávez era, in order to proceed in
provocative operations that could overthrow the Leftist governments.
Regarding
Argentina, former president, Cristina Kirchner, had also made some
important moves towards the stronger cooperation with Russia, which
was something unacceptable for Washington's hawks. Not only for
geopolitical reasons, but also because Argentina could escape from
the vulture funds that sucking its blood since its default. This
would give the country an alternative to the neoliberal monopoly of
destruction. The US big banks and corporations would never accept
such a perspective because the debt-enslaved Argentina could become a
golden opportunity for a new round of huge profits. It's happening right now in eurozone's debt colony, Greece.
But why do
we see now a culmination of sloppy efforts by the US imperial
mechanisms to get rid of the Leftist governments in these countries?
Could it be related with the oncoming US elections? Probably yes.
As the
establishment fully promotes its most faithful puppet, Hillary Clinton, the
simultaneous re-shaping of the political landscape in Latin America will give her space to focus on the big enemy: the Sino-Russian
alliance. The US imperial mechanisms are doing "whatever it takes" to
relief Hillary from an additional "headache" in the US
backyard. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to overthrow any
Leftist governments and replace them with neoliberal puppet regimes.
Quite
recently, an unknown (until now) hacker, Andrés Sepúlveda, admitted
that he has rigged many elections in Latin America in favor of
Right-Wing parties, using various dirty methods. In the revealing
article by Bloomberg, we read that Sepúlveda is
“serving 10 years in prison for charges including use of
malicious software, conspiracy to commit crime, violation of personal
data, and espionage, related to hacking during Colombia’s 2014
presidential election. He has agreed to tell his full story for the
first time, hoping to convince the public that he’s
rehabilitated—and gather support for a reduced sentence. Usually,
he says, he was on the payroll of Juan José Rendón, a Miami-based
political consultant who’s been called the Karl Rove of Latin
America. Rendón denies using Sepúlveda for anything illegal, and
categorically disputes the account Sepúlveda gave Bloomberg
Businessweek of their relationship, but admits knowing him and using
him to do website design.”
At the end
of the article “Rendón says he’s in talks with another
leading U.S. presidential campaign—he wouldn’t say which—to
begin working for it once the primaries wrap up and the general
election begins.” So, we can only guess who that candidate
might be.
Nevertheless,
the sloppy actions by the neoliberal opposition, especially in
Venezuela and Brazil, reveal that the US empire is quite nervous and
it has a good reason: it starts "feeling the Bern". The
unexpected strength of Bernie Sanders and increasing support by the
American people sets the biggest alarm for the establishment.
Although the
odds are now against him, it seems that he managed to set the
foundations for a massive movement against the neoliberal
establishment of destruction. Combine this with the fact that the
neoliberal dominance in Latin America is very far from being certain,
despite all the sloppy, dirty actions, and you have a perfect
nightmare for the neo-Feudal banking-corporate America.
