Rick Sanchez spills the beans!

On 20 October 2019, at the Ron Paul Institute's conference on 'Breaking Washington's Addiction to War,' Rick Sanchez, one time top presenter on CNN and Fox News, spoke out powerfully on American regime change policy in Latin America and the mainstream's sanitised coverage of that policy.

"Countries in Latin America... are ruined to this day because of actions that really had more to do with power and might and greed than just about anything else. And then you ask yourself, does the United States still engage in this type of meddling, this type of intervention?
You know, we still selectively remove elected Presidents... Do we still remove them by coup, backed by the CIA, despite what we promised with the Church Committee in 1975 when we said we're not going to be the kind of country that does this any more? Yeah, yeah, if you watched my interview with President Zelaya, I mean, we did it in Honduras. He was removed by a military coup. In 2009, we removed somebody with a military coup, where the hell is that story? You know? Fomented, of course, by the CIA and some Secretary of State, I think some of you guys might know her in here, her name is Hillary Clinton...
What became of his country?... Our President calls it a shithole country. And here's what Mr Trump and many in the media won't tell you, WE MADE IT A SHITHOLE COUNTRY! We made it a shit hole country! Honduras, today, is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. And, because of that, it sends more immigrants to America per capita than just about any country in the world. They weren't coming here before we did that! They were happy there! In fact, their economy was doing pretty good!
See, those are the unintended consequences of our foreign policy! The unintended consequences of our foreign policy which isn't good for most of us Americans but it's good, as we know, for The Few, and especially those in the business of war.
I think just about everybody in this room loves this country... I guess (mainstream journalists) Cooper, Cuomo, Maddow, Tucker, those guys love this country too, I think. You know? I'm sure they do, I wish they'd love it enough to tell us the truth though. That's the real sign of love... Maybe they're not allowed.
By the way, with those guys, it's not about what they tell you, it's really about what the DON'T tell you... You know, it's funny, I often tried to tell these stories on CNN, when I was there... They always got shot down. There was always like a fight just to be able to put stories on the air that I knew were important... WE DON'T TELL THE TRUTH. OMISSION, man, omission, omission, omission, THE LIE OF OMISSION, in journalism it's what we don't say that becomes our destiny! What we don't say that becomes our destiny... 
Where's the story about our interference in elections in Iran in 1953? Where's that story, that gives you perspective why we're having the problems we're having today with Iran?
Where's the mention of the UK's interference on behalf of Obama? Or Israel's meddling on behalf of Mitt Romney? ... And, for that matter, can you be elected for a seat in Congress without the tacit approval of, or being heavily influenced by, Israel in this country? Where's that story?  (APPLAUSE)  Foreign policy's foreign policy and any country's foreign policy should be criticisable."

Good for you, Rick. 

Nice to know there are journalists out there who still give a damn.
