US-Dollars zur Finanzierung der Destabilisierung Nicaraguas im Wahljahr
Bis dahin hatte die Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) diese Art der Finanzierung durchgeführt. Ab den 1960er-Jahren war die CIA jedoch in Skandale verwickelt, die den Kongress veranlassten, ihre Aktivitäten einzuschränken.

The Making of Juan Guaidó: How the US Regime Change Laboratory Created Venezuela’s Coup Leader
(29.1.2019) Before the fateful day of January 22, fewer than one in five Venezuelans had heard of Juan Guaidó. Only a few months ago, the 35-year-old was an obscure character in a politically marginal far-right group closely associated with gruesome acts of street violence.

Anointed as the leader of his country by Washington, a previously unknown political bottom-dweller was vaulted onto the international stage as the US-selected leader of the nation with the world’s largest oil reserves.
