2 days before coup, U.S. ambassador in Peru, veteran CIA agent, met with defense minister

By Ben Norton

The U.S. ambassador in Peru, a veteran CIA agent named Lisa Kenna, met with the country’s defense minister just two days before democratically elected left-wing President Pedro Castillo was overthrown in a coup d’etat and imprisoned without trial. The coup set off mass protests all across Peru. The unelected regime has unleashed brutal violence, and police have killed numerous demonstrators. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has staunchly supported Peru’s unelected coup regime.

How the CIA Cultivates a Fake Left: From the Cultural Cold War to Intersectional Imperialism

Published: May 11, 2021

Ben Norton was invited to give this talk about the fake left and imperialism. He discusses how the CIA's "woke" recruitment ad is not new; it is rooted in an "intersectional imperialist" history going back to the first cold war, in which the CIA poured money into cultivating anti-communist, pro-imperialist progressive groups, using fronts like the Congress for Cultural Freedom and billionaire-funded foundations like Ford and Rockefeller.

Ben goes through the book "The Cultural Cold War," and talks about supposed "leftist" CIA assets like feminist leader Gloria Steinem and Trotskyite civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, then analyzes examples of astroturfed, Nonprofit Industrial Complex-backed pseudo-left campaigns in the US, Western Europe, and Latin America.
