> Greg Grandin: “The true ‘Latin Americanization’ of the US isn’t rehashing negative stereotypes of Latin America but understanding how the same violent economic restructuring that was imposed on Latin America in the late Cold War was imposed on the US after the Cold War.”
> It’s supremely ironic that a failed casino magnate, with former mob connections, wants to re-take Cuba. The sinister course of American imperialism couldn’t have traveled in a fuller circle.
Paria sans portefeuilleThe #LRB pod talks with historian #GregGrandin about the US attack on #Venezuela -- "what the intervention reveals about #Trump’s intentions in the region and his wider foreign policy, and why, as in the past, such adventures will ultimately expose the limits of US power."

#AmericanPrestige talks w/ #GregGrandin about the US attack on #Venezuela
"They talk about the removal of Nicolás #Maduro while leaving the existing state structure intact, implying America’s preference for coercion over governance; the role of oil in US rhetoric; internal divisions within the #Trump administration; comparisons to past interventions in the region; and the weakening of regional resistance to US dominance"

I've been wondering when someone would get around to writing out some context for Chomsky being "in the Epstein Files".. And Greg Grandin did, and Walden Bello provides an intro to Grandin's long Nation article.
Walden Bello:^1
Greg Grandin:^2
Chomsky earned a reputation early in his career as someone whose door was always open—who talked to anyone who knocked and answered any letter delivered. Then came e-mail.Still, Chomsky’s e-mails display none of the fawning chatter found in, say, Summers’s mash notes to Jefferey and Ghislaine, and none of the affective investment in Epstein that Anand Giridharadas dissects so sharply in a recent New York Times opinion piece, “How the Elite Behave When No One is Watching.”^3 And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

> I wrote Chomsky cold in the early 1990s, and within a week, I was in his Cambridge office. We spent an hour discussing Iran-contra and death squads, and before I left, he gave me his “secret” e-mail address, [email protected], which, as it turned out, wasn’t so secret. He gave that address to everyone anyway.

Escalating the Escalation
Greg Grandin provides a short history of the Long War on Drugs in Latin America from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump. By Greg Grandin TomDispatch Today, Donald Trump presides over his own Murder Incorporated, less a government than a death squad. Many brushed off his proclamation early in
"[A]s with so many Trumpian things, it’s important to remember that he wouldn’t be able to do what he does if it weren’t for policies and institutions put in place by all too many of his predecessors. His horrors have long backstories. In fact, Donald #Trump isn’t so much escalating the #warOnDrugs as escalating its escalation."

"[H]istorian #GregGrandin returns to Chapo for a history lesson about the #WarOnDrugs as well as #Venezuela’s #BolivarianRevolution. We also talk about the US’s long-running economic interests and petty feuds in #LatinAmerica, particularly regarding the region’s oil supplies. We then briefly speculate about just how bad and chaotic a regime change operation against Venezuela might be for the US and Latin America."
