“Leadership” by Whimsy Exacerbates Causation (preexisting conditions), Casts Blame on Victims of its Prior Assaults

Whimsy
 
Never admits Wrong
Never Takes Responsibility for its Actions 


“Economic conditions that drove many migrants north” have worsened under successive US regimes. Since the early nineteenth century, United States entities have meddled in and muddled, destabilized and thrown into chaos the institutions and essential advancement, domestic and governmental affairs of Latin American nations — often in the interests of “North American capitalists” and whimsical ideological siding with or against one or another variously labeled (understood or not understood) “right,” “left,” “popular,” “democratic” personality, party or entity.



REIGN OF TERROR
Always
Blames those it Terrorizes


USA Versus Americas of the Global South


USA v. Mexico 1846

Invasion of Mexico, price of forced peace: U.S. takes possession of more than half of Mexico’s territory, “what is now most of the western United States.”

 

USA v. Cuba 1903 -

 Post- Spanish American War forced treaty results in “near total U.S. control of Cuban affairs” and “U.S. establishment of (US war machine) naval base at Guantanamo Bay.”

[US “restrictions” on Cuban economic and political freedom… lasted until the Castro revolution of 1959”]

 

USA v. Panama 1903 – late 1970s-1980s-1990s-2020s

Post-Panamanian Revolution, US assumes “control of vital trade route of the Panama Canal.”  In 1979, the U.S. government “returns the Panama Canal Zone to Panama. On December 20, 1989, the United States invades Panama. In 1999, the USA and Panama end their “joint partnership in controlling the strategic waterway,” the Panama Canal. In 2025, the forty-seventh US president, in public statements, threatens “to reclaim the Panama Canal—by force if necessary”

 

USA v. Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti from 1934 – present

Under occupation by US military forces

 

USA v. Guatemala 1954

CIA-backed coup overthrows government of “Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz”

 

USA v. Brazil 1964

U.S.-backed coup overthrows government of Brazilian President Joao Goulart, “installs military dictatorship lasting until the 1980s.”

 

USA v. Dominican Republic 1965

U.S. forces land, intervene in internal unrest

 

  

USA v. Chile 1973

U.S.-supported military coup overthrows democratically elected president Salvador Allende, replaced by Augusto Pinochet dictator who “imposes a brutal military regime, embarks on U.S.-guided program of extreme economic privatization and de-regulation”, seeding model for later “neo-liberalism”

 

USA v. South American peoples 1970s

US-aided “Operation Condor, a “brutal campaign of repression and assassination aimed at perceived ‘leftist’ threats”

 

USA v. Nicaragua 1980

USA [fortieth president, “Iran-Contra Affair”] “backs ‘anti-Communist’ Contra forces against Nicaragua’s Sandinista government”; backs “Salvadoran government against leftist FMLN rebels.”

 

USA v. Grenada 1983

US entities accuse government of the Caribbean islanded nation of Grenada of “allying with Cuba” and U.S. military forces execute a violent invasion of the nation.

 

USA v. Panama 1989

U.S. entities invade Panama to oust “rogue CIA agent” aka “strongman” Manuel Noriega.

 

USA v. Haiti 1994

USA leads invasion to overthrow government of Haiti “installed by coup”; then, ten years later (2004), US-backed coup/invasion overthrows government installed after previous invasion and overthrow.

 

 

 

USA v. Venezuela 2002

U.S.-backed coup ousts government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (after two days, massive domestic support reverses restores President Chavez to office

 

USA v. Honduras 2009

U.S.-supported coup overthrows government of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya

 

USA v. Venezuela 2017 –

US entities interfere in Venezuelan domestic and governmental affairs by aggressive backing a non-entity named “Juan Guaidó as [non-existent] ‘interim president’ of Venezuela

  

  

USA v. Cuba and Cubans 2017 -

 

Between 2017 and 2024, in an attempt “to strangle” the Cuba’s economy, the US regime cuts migrant “remittances” sent to their homeland from approximately “$800 million” to “$35 million.” US entities further tighten “economic embargo,” “expand sanctions,” and increase “restrictions on foreign investment.”

 

USA v. Venezuela and Venezuelans 2017 -

 

US leadership slanders Venezuelans with unfounded accusations of criminal or gang-related behaviors, denounces Venezuelans as “invaders” of the United States, falsely claims that the Venezuelan government is affiliated with “the violent ‘Tren de Aragua’ gang”

 

 

USA v. Immigrants and migrant-originating countries 2025

 

US government entities’ attacks on migrants struggling to survive include greater taxes on remittances sent to their homeland (in Central America these remittances reportedly provide 23 percent of that country’s GDP). Wealthy migrants are able to avoid such penalties by moving money “through bank wires, investment accounts, shell companies, and real estate purchases.”

 


The United States of America

This great nation (as originally envisioned) and its people, as well as peoples and nations across the world could use (indeed they deserve) a far better caliber, a higher quality in all respects of leadership than the caliber of leadership that has been allowed position and power particularly in Federal Washington.
