In this article, we will examine the backgrounds of these individuals, the platforms they use to disseminate their message, and the tactics they have employed to clamor for an embassy seizure that
violates international law. We will also address how they may stand to benefit directly from an escalation of
Washington's hybrid war and a potential regime-change scenario in Venezuela.
Washington serves as a magnet for many elite and upper-middle-class professionals from countries that have been targeted by U.S. regime-change efforts.
In their home countries, some of these elements may function as the shock troops or intellectual beacons of empire, forming the front lines of American-backed color-revolution-style destabilization campaigns. In the U.S., some
upwardly mobile members of the diaspora also become lobbyists for regime change. They position themselves as the true voices of "the people" of their nation, while the poor and working class majorities of those countries are left behind, ignored by the corporate media and unable to travel north.
