Our government is officially held together by scotch tape and sheer audacity. According to a bombshell report, The New York Times and The Washington Post knew about the secret U.S. raid on Venezuela before the first bomb dropped. But guess who had no idea? The U.S. Congress.
On January 3, the Trump administration was busy executing a secret military operation to kidnap the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Meanwhile, the two biggest media “watchdogs” were sitting on the news, allegedly to “protect U.S. troops”. It’s a touching sentiment, really, if you ignore one minor detail. Newsrooms were clued in on a secret operation, but the actual elected representatives in Congress were kept in the dark. How democratic.
