   The US has been organized in over 600 coup d'etats/regime change operations around the world since WWII. A good book on that is Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer:

   Anyone interested in reading more about Angola and the U.S.'s involvement should check out the book "In Search of Enemies" by John Stockwell who was a manager in the CIA, and involved in the Angola operations.

   The author of “In Search of Enemies”:

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stockwell_(CIA_officer)

   “Stockwell was one of the first professionals to leave the CIA to go public by writing a bestselling book, In Search of Enemies. The CIA retaliated by suing him in the 4th District Court in Washington, D.C.. Part of the suit intended to eliminate the possibility of selling the story for the purpose of making the movie and requested all future publications be submitted to the CIA for review. Unable to afford the travel necessary to contest the case, Stockwell filed for bankruptcy in Austin, Texas. After the litigation was processed through the bankruptcy, the CIA eventually dropped the suit.”

   and of course Julian Assange..... The most prominent news breaking publisher of the 21st century....

   Publish so long as you don’t challenge authority or the ruling elites or their narrative.
