1 chapters across the catalog

William F. Jasper provides historical background on the rise of communism in Latin America, citing the roles of Romulo Betancourt and Fidel Castro. He alleges that the State Department and the CIA, influenced by the Council on Foreign Relations, historically propped up communist leaders under the guise of anti-communism. This historical perspective is used to frame Trump's current actions as a departure from decades of "insider" globalist policy.
