In September 2023, "Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of US Empire" by Anya Parampil was published.
Based on four years of original investigative work and interviews with diplomats from across the globe, "Corporate Coup" uses the case of Venezuela to examine the West’s blueprint for modern regime change war: the hybrid diplomatic assaults, economic terrorism, covert destabilisation tactics, and information warfare that the US and its allies unleash against all governments that continue to resist the "Washington Consensus".
While exposing the human cost of the West’s criminal quest to maintain its hegemonic hold over the world, Parampil reveals the limits of Washington’s imperial policy in the 21st Century, illustrating how developing powers from Moscow to New Delhi to Tehran–and yes, Caracas–are working to establish a multipolar world that honours the territorial sovereignty, political independence, and self determination of all nations.
Tributes
“Anya Parampil is one of the most insightful people I’ve ever met. I’m proud to say I’ve stolen much of my understanding of the world from her. I can’t recommend this enough.”
“I met Anya Parampil when she interviewed me on RT in 2016, I remember thinking, “wow they’ve got a live one here.” When the US attempted a coup in Venezuela in February 2019, I got stuck into that idiot Richard Branson with his ridiculous rock show for freedom on the Colombian border. Anya was of course way ahead of me, she was boots on the ground in Venezuela itself, and later protecting the Venezuelan embassy in DC. She knows all there is to know about ‘the coup that never was’ and its grubby aftermath. Her book "Corporate Coup" is eye witness, boots on ground, credible, essential reading for anyone who actually cares about democracy and freedom. Viva Venezuela.”
— Roger Waters, Musician and Activist
“Anya has a great ability to identify and interview key actors, as well as a capacity that not all researchers and foreign policy analysts possess: pure intuition characteristic of a woman who believes in liberation and respect for all peoples.”
— Jorge Arreaza, Foreign Minister of Venezuela (2017-2021)
“Anya Parampil’s progressive and great journalism on The Grayzone has been an eye opener for years. She truly understands the modern world and its stakes. Why don’t we have more young journalists like this?”
— Oliver Stone, filmmaker and director
“'Corporate Coup' is a careful and meticulous work of investigative reporting that exposes the dark side of the United States’ foreign policy towards Venezuela. With much of the corporate media’s coverage of Latin America heavily slanted by corporate and political agendas, 'Corporate Coup' offers a novel perspective on how US foreign policy decisions created space for unscrupulous political actors to conspire to plunder Venezuela’s wealth. Parampil’s work epitomises the best in the American tradition of politically committed investigative reporting which hearkens back to the times of Upton Sinclair.”
— Francisco Rodríguez, Rice Family Professor of the Practice of International and Public Affairs, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver[3]
