This video describes the spread of Evangelicalism in Latin America by the CIA in support of right-wing dictatorships and US imperialism. What started in the 60s led to wars, torture, and genocidal regimes in the 70s and 80s funded by the US and explicitly supported by the likes of Billy Graham and Pat Robertson. While it doesn’t touch on the rise of Evangelicalism in the US, we are all aware of the deep ties between Christian Nationalism and fascism at home, which was supported by a small army of right-wing American oligarchs. Evangelicalism is a tool of exploitative capitalism.

4. Politics and religion use each other to gain power and wealth.

5. Wish they had spread liberation theology instead.

As if.

Instead, Latin Ametica got the evangelical opiate of the masses instead - just like at home.

7. Yes. The video explains that the CIA program was in direct response to the rise

of liberation theology.

8. Nixon actually said he was worried about...

"Priests stand[ing] with the workers and peasants against the oligarchs and the armies".

What could be worse for the empire controlled by oligarchs and wholly dependent on the feeding of its war machine?

Chavez co-opted liberation theology, to his great success. For that, Chavismo and Venezuelans had to be starved, sanctioned, invaded, their riches stolen and their country about to be subsumed into the empire.

9. The brain rot exists for itself, like a virus.

The CIA is just another symptom.

10. They Did The Same Playbook With Africa

Ever notice how many insane evangelicals are in Africa? Especially homophobic and transphobic ones? That's all because of the unholy alliance between American evangelicals and the CIA.
