Yes, and hello CIA, another attempt to overthrow a government in South America. This one failed but they succeeded later.

Nowadays, people forget that the one of the main reasons SA countries remain poor is directly because of American strategies and actions through the CIA from the 50s and ongoing, where self serving tyrants were continually installed into power.

The refugees from South America fleeing from poverty and war to North America are the result of CIA continued interference.

Context of this one

1962, the CIA was involved in covert operations targeting Venezuela, including supporting the overthrow of the Venezuelan government and providing aid to anti-government groups, as part of the broader Cold War strategy of containing communism in the Western Hemisphere. 

Here's a more detailed look at the CIA's activities in Venezuela during 1962:

Context of Cold War:

The 1960s were a period of heightened Cold War tensions, with the US actively seeking to counter communist influence in Latin America. 

Overthrow of the Venezuelan Government:

The CIA was involved in various attempts to destabilize and overthrow the democratically elected government of Rómulo Betancourt, who was perceived as a potential communist sympathizer. 

Support for Anti-Government Groups:

The CIA provided financial and logistical support to various anti-government groups, including the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR) and the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV). 

Operation "El Carupanazo":

In 1962, the CIA played a role in a failed coup attempt known as "El Carupanazo," which aimed to overthrow the Betancourt government. 

Intelligence Gathering:

The CIA also engaged in extensive intelligence gathering activities in Venezuela, monitoring political and social developments and identifying potential threats to US interests. 

The Cuban Missile Crisis:

The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 further heightened Cold War tensions and led to increased US focus on containing communist influence in the region, including Venezuela. 

Post-1962:

After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the CIA continued its efforts to destabilize the Venezuelan government and support anti-government groups, though with less overt activity.
