10:12Now PlayingSince the conclusion of World War II, the United States has emerged as a global economic and political force, leading to its characterization as an empire. Scholars have scrutinized the methods employed by the U.S. government, utilizing international financial institutions, the Central Intelligence Agency, and military actions to assert its influence. In this book, Timothy M. Gill sheds light on another aspect—the use of democracy promotion to subvert foreign governments, notably in Venezuela. Examining the period of President Hugo Chávez's rule from 1999 until his death in 2013, Gill reveals how the U.S. government-funded and trained opposition groups and activists, often justifying such interventions through neocolonial and racist narratives. Drawing on documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, embassy cables, and interviews, Gill provides an in-depth analysis of these operations and the imperialistic mindset driving them.
