Historically, the imperial actions of US foreign policy were concealed in euphemisms of democracy and human rights. Now, they follow boasts of its invincibility.
Recently, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kurt Weldon, the Republican congressman and prominent whistleblower, narrated the US administration’s devious plan to eliminate Muammar Gaddafi. During his diplomatic trips to Tripoli, Gaddafi stated his intention to resign, contingent on the US approval of his unifying mission for African economies. He envisaged a customs and monetary union similar to the EU that facilitated the introduction of a pan-African currency backed by a gold standard.Â
