Numerous reports in major media outlets have documented how the US government has used the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in order to spy on and try to destabilize left-wing governments in Latin America.

DEA meddling schemes have targeted Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, Bolivia’s President Evo Morales, and Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO).

In these scandals, the DEA has collaborated with known criminals, including drug traffickers and money launderers, to launch sting operations against leftist politicians.

The US used its veto power to block a fourth UN Security Council resolution that called for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

The US has sent Israel more than 100 arms shipments since October 7, to bomb Gaza. Polls show 52% of North Americans and 62% of Democrats oppose these weapons sales.

An economist calculated that US average daily income would fall by 27-57% if the dollar lost its "exorbitant privilege" as the global reserve currency.

US Senators sent a letter to the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, threatening to impose sanctions and even invade the Hague if it issues arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

US Big Tech corporations are like the feudal landlords of medieval Europe. These Silicon Valley monopolies own the digital land that the modern global economy is built on, and are charging higher and higher rents to use their privatized infrastructure.

A top Israeli military official admitted the war on Gaza is only possible due to US support and arms supplies, and Israel would be forced to end it if Washington withdrew support.

A former US secretary of state and NATO commander boasted that "Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk".
