Soon after the 2004 U.S. coup to depose President Jean-Bertrand Aristide of
Haiti, I heard Aristide's lawyer Ira Kurzban speaking in Miami.  He began
his talk with a riddle: "Why has there never been a coup in Washington
D.C.?"  The answer: "Because there is no U.S. Embassy in Washington D.C."
 This introduction was greeted with wild applause by a mostly
Haitian-American audience who understood it only too well.

Ukraine's former security chief, Aleksandr Yakimenko, has reported that the
coup-plotters who overthrew the elected government in Ukraine, "basically
lived in the (U.S.) Embassy
<https://rt.com/op-edge/mercenaries-at-maidan-ukraine-558/>.  They were
there every day."  We also know from a leaked Russian intercept
<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957> that they were in close
contact with Ambassador Pyatt and the senior U.S. official in charge of the
coup, former Dick Cheney aide Victoria Nuland, officially the U.S.
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.  And we can
assume that many of their days in the Embassy were spent in strategy and
training sessions with their individual CIA case officers.

To place the coup in Ukraine in historical context, this is at least the
80th time the United States has organized a coup or a failed coup
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coups_d'%C3%A9tat_and_coup_attempts>
in a foreign country since 1953.  That was when President Eisenhower
discovered in Iran that the CIA could overthrow elected governments who
refused to sacrifice the future of their people to Western commercial and
geopolitical interests.  Most U.S. coups have led to severe repression,
disappearances, extrajudicial executions, torture, corruption, extreme
poverty and inequality, and prolonged setbacks for the democratic
aspirations of people in the countries affected.  The plutocratic and
ultra-conservative nature of the forces the U.S. has brought to power in
Ukraine make it unlikely to be an exception.

*Noam Chomsky calls William Blum's classic, Killing Hope: U.S. Military and
CIA Interventions since World War II,
<https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Hope-Military-Interventions-Since/dp/1567510523/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=064GA0M04G74H2S1MMKE>
"Far and away the best book on the topic."  If you're looking for
historical context for what you are reading or watching on TV about the
coup in Ukraine, Killing Hope will provide it.  The title has never been
more apt as we watch the hopes of people from all regions of Ukraine being
sacrificed on the same altar as those of people in Iran (1953);
Guatemala(1954); Thailand (1957); Laos (1958-60); the Congo (1960); Turkey
(1960, 1971 & 1980); Ecuador (1961 & 1963); South Vietnam (1963); Brazil
(1964); the Dominican Republic (1963); Argentina (1963); Honduras (1963 &
2009); Iraq (1963 & 2003); Bolivia (1964, 1971 & 1980); Indonesia (1965);
Ghana (1966); Greece (1967); Panama (1968 & 1989); Cambodia (1970); Chile
(1973); Bangladesh (1975); Pakistan (1977); Grenada (1983); Mauritania
(1984); Guinea (1984); Burkina Faso (1987); Paraguay (1989); Haiti (1991 &
2004); Russia (1993); Uganda (1996);and Libya (2011).  This list does not
include a roughly equal number of failed coups, nor coups in Africa and
elsewhere in which a U.S. role is suspected but unproven.*

*The disquieting reality of the world we live in is that American efforts
to destroy democracy, even as it pretends to champion it, have left the
world less peaceful, less just and less hopeful.  When Harold Pinter won
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, at the height of the genocidal
American war on Iraq, he devoted much of his acceptance speech
<https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2005/pinter-lecture-e.html>
to an analysis of this dichotomy.  He said of the U.S., "It has exercised a
quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a
force for universal good.  It's a brilliant, even witty, highly successful
act of hypnosis… Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be, but
it is also very clever."*

*The basic framework of U.S. coups has hardly evolved since 1953.  The main
variables between coups in different places and times have been the scale
and openness of the U.S. role and the level of violence used.  There is a
strong correlation between the extent of U.S. involvement and the level of
violence.  At one extreme, the U.S. war on Iraq was a form of regime change
that involved hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops and killed hundreds of
thousands of people.  On the other hand, the U.S. role in General Suharto's
coup in Indonesia in 1965 remained covert even as he killed almost as many
people.  Only long after the fact didU.S. officials take credit for their
role <https://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/Indonesia65_KH.html> in
Suharto's campaign of mass murder, and it will be some time before they
brag publicly about their roles in Ukraine.*

But as Harold Pinter explained, the U.S. has always preferred
"low-intensity conflict" to full-scale invasions and occupations.  The CIA
and U.S. special forces use proxies and covert operations to overthrow
governments and suppress movements that challenge America's insatiable
quest for global power.  A coup is the climax of such operations, and it is
usually only when these "low-intensity" methods fail that a country becomes
a target for direct U.S. military aggression.  Iraq only became a target
for U.S. invasion and occupation after a failed CIA coup in June 1996.
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/sep/28/iraq.military>  The U.S.
attacked Panama in 1989 only after five CIA coup attempts
<https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/gilboa.htm> failed to remove General
Noriega from power.  After long careers as CIA agents, both Hussein and
Noriega had exceptional knowledge of U.S. operations and methods that
enabled them to resist regime change by anything less than overwhelming
U.S. military force.

But most U.S. coups follow a model that has hardly changed between 1953 and
the latest coup in Ukraine in 2014.  This model has three stages:

*1) Creating and strengthening opposition forces*

In the early stages of a U.S. plan for regime change, there is little
difference between the methods used to achieve it at the ballot box or by
an anti-constitutional coup.  Many of these tools and methods were
developed to install right-wing governments in occupied countries in Europe
and Asia after World War II.  They include forming and funding conservative
political parties, student groups, trade unions and media outlets, and
running well-oiled propaganda campaigns both in the country being targeted
and in regional, international and U.S. media.

Post-WWII Italy is a case in point
<https://polisci2.ucsd.edu/kash/142Q/Miller%201983.pdf>.  At the end of the
war, the U.S. used the American Federation of Labor's agents in France and
Italy to funnel money through non-communist trade unions to conservative
candidates and political parties.  But socialists and communists won a
plurality of votes in the 1946 election in Italy, and then joined forces to
form the Popular Democratic Front for the next election in 1948.  The U.S.
worked with the Catholic Church, conducted a massive propaganda campaign
using Italian-American celebrities like Frank Sinatra, and printed 10
million letters for Italian-Americans to mail to their relatives in Italy.
The U.S. threatened a total cut-off of aid to the war-ravaged country,
where allied bombing had killed 50,000 civilians and left much of the
country in ruins.

The FDP was reduced from a combined 40% of the votes in 1946 to 31% in
1948, leaving Italy in the hands of increasingly corrupt U.S.-backed
coalitions led by the Christian Democrats for the next 46 years.  Italy was
saved from an imaginary communist dictatorship, but more importantly from
an independent democratic socialist program committed to workers' rights
and to protecting small and medium-sized Italian businesses against
competition from U.S. multinationals.

The U.S. employed similar tactics in Chile
<https://www.fas.org/irp/ops/policy/church-chile.htm> in the 1960s to
prevent the election of Salvador Allende.  He came within 3% of winning the
presidency in 1958, so the Kennedy administration sent a team of 100 State
Department and CIA officers to Chile in what one of them later called a
"blatant and almost obscene" effort to subvert the next election in 1964.
The CIA provided more than half the Christian Democrats' campaign funds and
launched a multimedia propaganda campaign on film, TV, radio, newspapers,
posters and flyers.  This classic "red scare" campaign, dominated by images
of firing squads and Soviet tanks, was designed mainly to terrify women.
The CIA produced 20 radio spots per day that were broadcast on at least 45
stations, as well as dozens of fabricated daily "news" broadcasts.
Thousands of posters depicted children with hammers and sickles stamped on
their foreheads.  The Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei defeated Allende by
17%, with a huge majority among women.

But despite the U.S. propaganda campaign, Allende was finally elected in
1970.  When he consolidated his position in Congressional elections in 1973
despite a virtual U.S. economic embargo and an ever-escalating
destabilization campaign, his fate was sealed, at the hands of the CIA and
the U.S.-backed military, led by General Pinochet.

In Ukraine, the U.S. has worked since independence in 1991 to promote
pro-Western parties and candidates, climaxing in the "Orange Revolution" in
2004.  But the Western-backed governments of Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia
Tymoshenko became just as corrupt and unpopular as previous ones, and
former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich was elected President in 2010.

The U.S. employed all its traditional tactics leading up to the coup in
2014.  The U.S. National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has partially taken
over the CIA's role in grooming opposition candidates, parties and
political movements, with an annual budget of $100 million to spend in
countries around the world.  The NED made no secret of targeting Ukraine as
a top priority, funding 65 projects there
<https://www.ned.org/fa/where-we-work/eurasia/ukraine>, more than in any
other country.  The NED's neoconservative president, Carl Gershman, called
Ukraine "the biggest prize" in a Washington Post op-ed
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/former-soviet-states-stand-up-to-russia-will-the-us/2013/09/26/b5ad2be4-246a-11e3-b75d-5b7f66349852_story.html>
in September 2013, as the U.S. operation there prepared to move into its
next phase.

*2) Violent street demonstrations*

In November 2013, the European Union presented President Yanukovich with a
1,500 page "free trade agreement
<https://rbth.com/international/2013/12/02/ukraine_does_a_u-turn_on_europe_32179.html>,"
similar to NAFTA or the TPP, but which withheld actual EU membership from
Ukraine.  The agreement would have opened Ukraine's borders to Western
exports and investment without a reciprocal opening of the EU's borders.
Ukraine, a major producer of cheese and poultry, would have been allowed to
export only 5% of its cheese and 1% of its poultry to the EU.  Meanwhile
Western firms could have used Ukraine as a gateway to flood Russia with
cheap products from Asia. This would have forced Russia to close its
borders to Ukraine, shattering the industrial economy of Eastern Ukraine.

Understandably, and for perfectly sound reasons as a Ukrainian president,
Viktor Yanukovich rejected the EU agreement.  This was the signal for
pro-Western and right-wing groups in Kiev to take to the street.  In the
West, we tend to interpret street demonstrations as representing surges of
populism and democracy.  But we should distinguish left-wing demonstrations
against right-wing governments from the kind of violent right-wing
demonstrations that have always been part of U.S. regime change strategy.

In Tehran in 1953
<https://robinlea.com/pub/WilliamBlum/killing-hope/chapter-9.html>, the CIA
spent a million dollars to hire gangsters and "extremely competent
professional organizers", as the CIA's Kermit Roosevelt called them, to
stage increasingly violent demonstrations, until loyal and rebel army units
were fighting in the streets of Tehran and at least 300 people were
killed.  The CIA spent millions more to bribe members of parliament and
other influential Iranians.  Mossadegh was forced to resign, and the Shah
restored Western ownership of the oil industry.  BP divided the spoils with
American firms, until the Shah was overthrown 26 years later by the Iranian
Revolution and the oil industry was re-nationalized.  This pattern of
short-term success followed by eventual independence from U.S. interests is
a common result of CIA coups, most notably in Latin America, where they
have led many of our closest neighbors to become increasingly committed to
political and economic independence from the United States.

In Haiti in 2004
<https://www.democracynow.org/2004/4/7/witnesses_u_s_special_forces_trained>,
200 U.S. special forces trained 600 FRAPH militiamen and other anti-Lavalas
forces at a training camp across the border in the Dominican Republic.
These forces then invaded northern Haiti and gradually spread violence and
chaos across the country to set the stage for the overthrow of President
Aristide.

In Ukraine, street protests turned violent in January 2014 as the
neo-NaziSvoboda
Party <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party)> and the Right
Sector militia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Sector> took charge of
the crowds in the streets.  The Right Sector militia only appeared in
Ukraine in the past 6 months, although it incorporated existing
extreme-right groups and gangs.  It is partly funded by Ukrainian exiles in
the U.S. and Europe, and may be a creation of the CIA.  After Right Sector
seized government buildings, parliament outlawed the protests and the
police reoccupied part of Independence Square, killing two protesters.

On February 7th, the Russians published an intercepted phone call
<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957> betweenAssistant Secretary
of State Nuland and U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.  The intercept revealed
that U.S. officials were preparing to seize the moment for a coup in
Ukraine.  The transcript reads like a page from a John Le Carre novel: "I
think we're in play… we could land jelly-side up on this one if we move
fast."  Their main concern was to marginalize heavyweight boxing champion
Vitali Klitschko, who had become the popular face of the "revolution" and
was favored by the European Union, and to ensure that U.S. favorite Arseniy
Yatsenyuk ended up in the Prime Minister's office.

On the night of February 17th, Right Sector announced a march from
Independence Square to the parliament building on the 18th.  This ignited
several days of escalating violence in which the death toll
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_killed_during_Euromaidan>
rose to 110 people killed, including protesters, government supporters and
16 police officers.  More than a thousand people were wounded. Vyacheslav
Veremyi <https://rt.com/news/ukrainian-journalist-kiev-attack-739/>, a
well-known reporter for a pro-government newspaper, was dragged out of a
taxi near Independence Square and shot to death in front of a crowd of
onlookers.  Right Sector broke into an armory near Lviv and seized military
weapons, and there is evidence of both sides using snipers to fire from
buildings in Kiev at protesters and police in the streets and the square
below.  Former security chief Yakimenko
<https://rt.com/op-edge/mercenaries-at-maidan-ukraine-558/> believes that
snipers firing from the Philharmonic building were U.S.-paid foreign
mercenaries, like the snipers from the former Yugoslavia who earn up to $2,000
per day shooting soldiers in Syria
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Syrian_Army>.

As violence raged in the streets, the government and opposition parties
held emergency meetings and reached two truce agreements, one on the night
of February 19th and another on the 21st
<https://web.archive.org/web/20140221182824/www.auswaertiges-amt.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/671348/publicationFile/190025/140221-UKR_Erklaerung.pdf>,
brokered by the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Poland.  But Right
Sector rejected both truces and called for the "people's revolution" to
continue until Yanukovich resigned and the government was completely
removed from power.

*3) The coup d'etat.*

The creation and grooming of opposition forces and the spread of violence
in the streets are deliberate strategies to create a state of emergency as
a pretext for removing an elected or constitutional government and seizing
power.  Once the coup leaders have been trained and prepared by their CIA
case officers, U.S. officials have laid their plans and street violence has
broken down law and order and the functioning of state institutions, all
that remains is to strike decisively at the right moment to remove the
government and install the coup leaders in its place.  In Iran, faced with
hundreds of people being killed in the streets, Mohammad Mosaddegh resigned
to end the bloodshed. In Chile, General Pinochet launched air strikes on
the presidential palace.  In Haiti in 2004, U.S. forces landed to remove
President Aristide and occupy the country.

In Ukraine, Vitaly Klitschko announced that parliament would open
impeachment proceedings against Yanukovich, but, later that day, lacking
the 338 votes required for impeachment, a smaller number of members simply
approved a declaration
<https://us-russia.org/2174-reveals-ukraine-regime-illegitimate.html> that
Yanukovich "withdrew from his duties in an unconstitutional manner," and
appointed Oleksandr Turchynov of the opposition Fatherland Party as Acting
President.  Right Sector seized control of government buildings and
patrolled the streets.  Yanukovich refused to resign, calling this an
illegal coup d'etat.  The coup leaders vowed to prosecute him for the
deaths of protesters, but he escaped to Russia.  Arseniy Yatsenyuk was
appointed Prime Minister on February 27th, exactly as Nuland and Pyatt had
planned.

The main thing that distinguishes the U.S. coup in Ukraine from the
majority of previous U.S. coups was the minimal role played by the
Ukrainian military.  Since 1953, most U.S. coups have involved using local
senior military officers to deliver the final blow to remove the elected or
ruling leader.  The officers have then been rewarded with presidencies,
dictatorships or other senior positions in new U.S.-backed regimes. The
U.S. military cultivates military-to-military relationships to identify and
groom future coup leaders, and President Obama's expansion of U.S. special
forces operations to 134 countries around the world
<https://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/175794/tomgram%3A_nick_turse,_secret_wars_and_black_ops_blowback/>
suggests that this process is ongoing and expanding, not contracting.

But the neutral or pro-Russian position of the Ukrainian military since it
was separated from the Soviet Red Army in 1991 made it an impractical tool
for an anti-Russian coup. So Nuland and Pyatt's signal innovation in
Ukraine was to use the neo-Nazi Svoboda Party and Right Sector as a strike
force to unleash escalating violence and seize power. This also required
managing Svoboda and Right Sector's uneasy alliance with Fatherland and
UDAR, the two pro-Western opposition parties who won 40% between them in
the 2012 parliamentary election
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_parliamentary_election,_2012>.

Historically, about half of all U.S. coups have failed, and success is
never guaranteed.  But few Americans have ended up dead or destitute in the
wake of a failed coup.  It is always the people of the target country who
pay the price in violence, chaos, poverty and instability, while U.S. coup
leaders like Nuland and Pyatt often get a second - or 3rd or 4th or 5th -
bite at the apple, and will keep rising through the ranks of the State
Department and the CIA.  Direct U.S. military intervention in Ukraine was
not an option before the coup, but now the coup itself may destabilize the
country and plunge it into economic collapse, regional disintegration or
conflict with Russia, creating new and unpredictable conditions in which
NATO intervention could become feasible.

Russia has proposed a reasonable solution to the crisis
<https://newsru.com/pict/big/1638517.html>. To resolve the tensions between
Eastern and Western Ukraine over their respective political and economic
links with Russia and the West, the Russians have proposed a federal system
in which both Eastern and Western Ukraine would have much greater
autonomy.  This would be more stable that the present system in which each
tries to dominate the other with the support of their external allies,
turning Ukraine and all its people into pawns of Western-NATO expansion and
Russia's efforts to limit it.  The Russian proposal includes a binding
commitment that Ukraine would remain neutral and not join NATO.  A few
weeks ago, Obama and Kerry seemed to be ready to take this off-ramp
<https://www.moonofalabama.org/2014/03/ukraine-us-pulls-back-agrees-to-russian-demands.html>
from the crisis.  The delay in agreeing to Russia's seemingly reasonable
proposal may be only an effort to save face, or it may mean that theneocons
who engineered the coup
<https://consortiumnews.com/2014/03/14/neocons-have-weathered-the-storm/>are
still dictating policy in Washington and that Obama and Kerry may be ready
to risk a further escalation of the crisis.

The U.S. coup machine has also been at work in Venezuela, where it already
failed once in 2002
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Venezuelan_coup_d'%C3%A9tat_attempt>.
Raul Capote, a former Cuban double agent who worked with the CIA in Cuba
and Venezuela <https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/10533>, recently
described its long-term project to build right-wing opposition movements
among upper- and middle-class students in Venezuelan universities, which
are now bearing fruit in increasingly violent street protests and
vigilantism.  Thirty-six people have been killed, including six police
officers and at least 5 opposition protesters.  The protests began exactly
a month after municipal elections in December, in which the government won
the popular vote by almost 10%
<https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elecciones_municipales_de_Venezuela_de_2013>,
far more than the 1.5% margin in the presidential election last April.  As
in Chile in 1973, electoral success by an elected government is often the
cue for the CIA to step up its efforts, moving beyond propaganda and
right-wing politics to violence in the streets, and the popularity of the
Venezuelan government seems to have provoked precisely that reaction.

Another feature of U.S. coups is the role of the Western media in
publicizing official cover stories and suppressing factual journalism.
This role has also been consistent since 1953, but it has evolved as
corporate media have consolidated their monopoly power.  By their very
nature, coups are secret operations and U.S. media are prohibited from
revealing "national security" secrets about them, such as the names of CIA
officers involved.  By only reporting official cover stories, they become
unwitting co conspirators in the critical propaganda component of these
operations.  But the U.S. corporate media have turned vice into virtue,
relishing their role in the demonization of America's chosen enemies and
cheerleading U.S. efforts to do them in.  They brush U.S. responsibility
for violence and chaos under the carpet, and sympathetically present U.S.
policy as a well-meaning effort to respond to the irrational and dangerous
behavior of others.

This is far more than is required by strict observance of secrecy laws, and
it reveals a great deal about the nature of the media environment we live
in.  The Western media as it exists today under near-monopoly corporate
ownership is a more sophisticated and total propaganda system than early
20th century propagandists ever dreamed of.  As media corporations profit
from Western geopolitical and commercial expansion, the propaganda function
that supports that expansion is an integrated part of their business model,
not something exceptional they do under duress from the state.  But to
expect factual journalism about U.S. coups from such firms is to
misunderstand who and what they are.

Recent studies have found
<https://publicmind.fdu.edu/2012/confirmed/final.pdf> that people gain a
better grasp of current affairs from John Stewart's Daily Show on Comedy
Central than from watching "news" networks.  People who watch no "news" at
all have more knowledge of international affairs than people who watch
MSNBC or Fox News.  A previous survey
<https://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/IraqWMD_Jul03/IraqWMD%20Jul03%20rpt.pdf>
conducted 3 months after the U.S. invasion of Iraq found that 52% of
Americans believed that U.S. forces in Iraq had found clear evidence of
links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.  Among Republicans who said they
were following "news on Iraq very closely", the figure was 78%, compared
with only 68% among Republicans at large.

If the role of the corporate media was to provide factual journalism, these
studies would be a terrible indictment of their performance.  But once we
acknowledge their actual role as the propaganda arm of an expansionist
political and economic system, then we can understand that promoting the
myths and misinformation that sustain it are a central part of what they
do.  In that light, they are doing a brilliant job on Ukraine as they did
on Iraq, suppressing any mention of the U.S. role in the coup and pivoting
swiftly away from the unfolding crisis in post-coup Ukraine to focus
entirely on attacking President Putin for reclaiming Crimea.  On the other
hand, if you're looking for factual journalism about the U.S. coup machine,
you should probably turn off your TV and keep reading reliable sources like
Alternet <https://www.alternet.org/world>,Consortium News
<https://consortiumnews.com/> and Venezuela Analysis
<https://venezuelanalysis.com/>.
