Anya Parampil's 'Corporate Coup' book launch in NYC
Watch The Grayzone's Anya Parampil discuss her new book, "Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of US Empire" with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate at the Francis Kite Club in New York City on May 15, 2024.
Parampil's book blends bracing on the ground journalism from Caracas to Washington with history and analysis to tell the story of the failed US regime change attempt against Venezuela and how this episode foretells a new, multipolar world order.

Got my book two days ago. Haven't had a ton of time to allocate to reading it ( just got to chapter one) and so far i have had to put this book down so many times to just reflect on the things consolidated in print that have been rattling around in my uneducated brain that are finally starting to make sense. Im only on chapter 1 so thank you for your work. You have been and are a journalistic treasure and i look forward to finishing this book. Thank you again.
Thanks for educating the world on the corporate coup.

Congrats on the book launch, Anya! I pre-ordered it long ago and expect it to arrive shortly. This was a great conversation. Really enjoyed it. One note: Chavez did NOT nationalize Venezuela's oil. It was already nationalized when he was first elected. But Big Oil (mostly Exxon Mobiil) was taking 90% of the profits anyway. What Chavez did was bargain for 50/50 (half to go to new social programs). Exxon Mobil walked out and got Venezuela's foreign reserves 'frozen' on the way out. France's Total and others agreed and things were okay for a while but not in DC which was out for blood and did the sanctions. Important to note: A resource like oil SHOULD BE a sovereign resource. Venezuela's pre-Chavez government (liberal not socialist) was just doing what Norway and others have done. But for such a resource to benefit the people, they need a fighter like Chavez on their side.
Brilliant
I'll get the book ASAP. Great break down of the United Snakes vs Venezuela. Greetings From Bogotá.
Glad to see more for than just The Occupation runs through the Max Blumenthal household.
Dopest couple
Great talk, sounds also like it's a great book! There's just one catch: Without expropriating and thereby disempowering the corporations (aka socialism) necessitating these aggressive policies, the US and the other NATO powers can never be peaceful states in the world. It really is socialism or barbarism as Rosa Luxemburg said.
Audio very poor and hard to understand. Subject matter way to important to let this happen. Love you guys, truly you are hero’s and truth tellers but you dropped the ball with the poor quality. Again, way to important of a subject to let this happen.
