Reprising the role of imperial proconsul that she perfected in the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland wrapped up her June 27-30 tour of South and Central America with one-day visits to Panama and El Salvador, threatening those governments that if they failed to bow to the State Department’s democracy and “anti-corruption” agenda, Wall Street and London financial interests would make them pay. In El Salvador, whose President Nayib Bukele has been labeled an “authoritarian” for making sovereign political decisions not to Washington’s liking, she delivered a barely-disguised threat of regime change, should he fail to follow the “rules-based” order.
In an interview with Panama’s La Prensa, Nuland baldly threatened that unless President Laurentino Cortizo were more aggressive in punishing money-laundering and related crimes, this would send the “wrong message” to international rating agencies which want assurances that Panama is a “good investment risk.” Since Panama is one of the world’s largest offshore banking centers, set up as such at the behest of the City of London and Wall Street, Nuland’s sanctimonious remarks have more to do with roping Panama into a regional alliance of “democracies” to advance the globalist Malthusian depopulation agenda using “corruption” as a bludgeon. Money laundering has little to do with it.
