The coup was largely the result of CIA covert operation code-named PBSuccess.
The 'Global South' has been feeling miserable because most of their voters preferred fascism in a democratic election?
That's a strange take.

Operation PBFortune, also known as Operation Fortune, was a covert United States operation to overthrow the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz in 1952. Actual History
Declassified documents are wrong is a strange take.
Okay, so how does that relate to how Americans are feeling right now, in which most of our voters preferred fascism in a democratic election?
Did they though?
And, if not for the mass purge of voters of color, if not for the mass disqualification of provisional and mail-in ballots, if not for the new mass “vigilante” challenges in swing states, Harris would have gained at least another 3,565,000 votes, topping Trump’s official popular vote tally by 1.2 million.
That article has no citations. It quotes many things and makes claims but doesn’t provide any references for those claims. Without a link to the data they used, their conclusions are not substantive.
Are you seriously questioning whether or not voter suppression exists in the USA? May want to learn about Oppositional Conversational Styles.
No I am not and I would thank you not to put words in my mouth. What I’m saying is that article makes claims but provides no data to backup the claims.
The data claimed in the article. Take the initiative, be curious, look things up.
Those 78 restrictive voting laws account for over two-thirds of all restrictive laws enacted since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013. In the 11 years since the Shelby County v. Holderdecision removed a key check against voting restrictions, at least 31 states have enacted 114 restrictive voting laws.
What you linked doesn’t provide any data that Kamala would have 3.5 million more voters, or that 4.7 million voters were purged from the rolls prior to the election. That claim was also made by the article, and it said that information was from the US Elections Assistance Commision I couldn’t find that report anywhere. Best I could find is a blank survey for the 2024 election and a report from the 2022 election.
Do you understand how to properly cite and source the information you are trying to use to make an argument? Be better, provide sources so people can go to the data and make their own conclusions instead of wanting them to believe whatever was written. My whole issue doesn’t have anything to do with the election or voters, I just dislike articles that claim something and don’t actually provide data.
Palast cites multiple sources in the article. Including the US Elections Assistance Commission, the NAACP of Georgia, an audit by the State of Washington, the Brennan Center for Justice, Georgia’s SB 202 law, an NPR study, an MIT study, and the United States Civil Rights Commission.
Just because it doesn’t have indexed and linked citation references, doesn’t mean it is inaccurate. If you feel that it might be, I would encourage you to fact check it yourself.
But, we’ve deviated, unintentionally (right?), from the original meme and the fact that Operation Condor happened and devastated South America. Maybe that was the intention of the previous commenter.
