How Joe Biden’s privatization plans helped doom Latin America and fuel the migration crisis

On the campaign trail, Joe Biden has boasted of his role in transforming Colombia and Central America through ambitious economic and security programs. Colombians and Hondurans tell The Grayzone about the damage his plans did to their societies.

At the bottom I'll post time Abby Martin spent in Columbia to provide a visual and reflections from the people there and what they face now. It's a story with a history going back decades. A story that found an abundance of truly horrific outcomes since the Reagan era. Have no doubt about it, this is a story of devastating causes towards death, oppression, denial of rights and unions, night raids of paramilitary leading to murder and missing people who attempt to voice any sense of dissent, by both parties. This is the very same agenda being played out against Venezuela now since Chavez under both party control. This only benefits the westernized ruling class, the international financial institutions and their false narratives towards socialism.

While the US flames a false narrative of Venezuela shipping tons on cocaine here, they collaborate with Columbia who provides 97% of the routes that cocaine uses to get to the US. Essentially what this means is that it's the same story Gary Webb and Robert Parry exposed on crack during the Iran-Contra affair in today's time.

{By 2014, the blowback of the Obama administration’s coup had caused a national emergency. Thousands of Hondurans were winding up in cages in detention camps run by the US Department of Homeland Security, and many of them were not even 16 years old.

That summer, Obama went to Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funds to ramp up border militarization and deport as many unaccompanied Central American minors as possible.

Biden used the opportunity to rustle up an additional billion dollars, exploiting the crisis to fund a massive neoliberal project that saw Honduras as a base for international financial opportunity. His plan was quickly ratified, and the first phase of the Alliance for Prosperity began.}

Sound familiar? If you’re willing to sacrifice all principles, all sanity and all morality to get rid of Trump, what exactly is the point of getting rid of Trump? When will we being willing to turn the upward levels this has been going downward? If anyone thinks Biden is the one..... "Out Of The Illusion " Group
