F. William Engdahl's "Manifest Destiny: Democracy as Cognitive Dissonance" presents a devastating exposé of how the United States has systematically weaponized the concept of democracy promotion to serve imperial objectives across the globe since the end of the Cold War. Published in 2018, this meticulously documented work reveals what Engdahl argues is perhaps the most sophisticated deception in modern geopolitics: the transformation of CIA regime-change operations into humanitarian missions ostensibly designed to spread freedom and human rights. Drawing from declassified documents, insider testimonies, and financial records spanning three decades, Engdahl demonstrates how Washington has perfected a template for overthrowing any government that challenges American interests while maintaining moral legitimacy through carefully crafted narratives of liberation and democratic transition. His analysis traces an unbroken line of operations from the 1983 creation of the National Endowment for Democracy through the color revolutions of Eastern Europe to the Arab Spring, showing how the same organizations, techniques, and personnel have been deployed repeatedly across different continents and cultures....Reviewed on another great substack. https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/manifest-destiny-democracy-as-cognitive
