Bolivia: Same story - different Latin American country

The twins, Greed and Corruption, got tired of waiting

The same ghouls slavering after Venezuela (Canada's own foreign minister having been highly instrumental in the attempt to bring down the Chavez/Maduro government) have now set their sights on Bolivia.

OneNewsPage: Evo Morales - Bolivian Politician
  • Juan Evo Morales Ayma is a Bolivian politician and former cocalero activist who served as the 80th President of Bolivia from 2006 to 2019. Widely regarded as the country's first president to come from the indigenous population, his administration has focused on the implementation of leftist policies, poverty reduction, and combating the influence of the United States and multinational corporations in Bolivia.

Take a look at who was running against Morales in the recent election. Carlos Mesa failed to hold onto power in the past because he catered to US interests, particularly with regard to Bolivia's natural gas!

AlJazeera: Bolivia: The end of Evo Morales?
  • He is credited with bringing political and economic stability to the country, which had five presidents in as many years before he came to power in 2006.

When Morales came to power the country was considered to be ungovernable. Most of the people were poor and, as with Chavez in Venezuela, they could not identify with leaders who derived from the "white", wealthy "upper class" - and before the Morales and Chavez years - the owners of everything.

Outsiders use the ruse of a 3-term period of office being transgressed by Morales, but surely the people themselves should decide whether or not there are time limits to holding office.

Seems more like the greedy got tired of waiting.

Latin Dispatch.com: Evo Morales Wins Bolivia’s Election, but Fraud Allegations ...
  • Under Morales, one of South America’s poorest countries has consistently shown some of the region’s highest economic growth rates, according to the IMF. The economy has expanded three-fold, and investment in public services and infrastructure has been unparalleled in the country’s history. Poverty has decreased by half under Morales. 
  • Social inclusion under the Morales government has been striking. Signs proclaiming “all of us are equal under the law” hang in many businesses and public spaces, in an effort to diminish Bolivia’s entrenched racism towards its Indigenous population, the highest percentage in the Americas. The current dispute over the vote reflects the deep historic divides over future directions in Bolivian society, often along race and class lines. A successful professional who is Indigenous told me, “When Evo was elected, the world got better for Indigenous people like me. All the privilege the light-skinned upper class in this country had was suddenly threatened.”
  • The rights of women have also expanded. Legislative parity for women is the law, although at the municipal level achieving parity has been fraught with violence against women. The government passed one of the region’s strongest laws against violence against women, but the country still struggles with an alarmingly high rate of femicide. 
  • Mesa’s alliance, Citizen’s Community (CC), had announced that they expected fraud even before the voting began. “The civil disobedience that accompanied the election was a chronicle foretold, as the opposition planned to react in the event of any Morales claim to victory, fraudulent or not,” said Bret Gustafson, associate professor of anthropology at Washington University.

See this short YouTube video of Evo Morales speaking with Oliver Stone where he says that the media have always been his worst enemy.

The Indigenous population of Bolivia are the majority, so it's very likely that Morales was legitimately re-elected.

SottNet: Rafael Correa: Morales forced out by 'coup';
  • OAS an instrument for 'US domination' ... democracy is only valid when it serves the interests of the right.

SottNet:  Bolivian coup comes less than a week after Morales stopped multinational firm's lithium deal
  • The Morales move on Nov. 4 to cancel the December 2018 agreement with Germany's ACI Systems Alemania (ACISA) came after weeks of protests from residents of the Potosí area. The region has 50% to 70% of the world's lithium reserves in the Salar de Uyuni salt flats.

Comment under this YouTube video: Bolivia's Subway in the Sky/The New York Times:
  • Bolivia is not a poor country... It was poorly managed by military dictators who were clueless about economic, social justice and human rights. Bolivia is so rich  it has 67% of the world's lithium.  Tesla Motors wants to buy lithium from Bolivia for their modern cars.
  • Bolivia has every mineral you can imagine and think of ...

It appears that the Brave New answer to "climate change" -- electric vehicles -- is in danger of being delayed due to makers being unable to control the power source, buy dirt cheap and sell expensive.

Chycho, guess what I'm doing right now. I'm watching your 3rd video regarding Julian Assange! I'm at the Chris Hedges interview, but something told me to check my mail and my blog.

Presumption of innocence. Yeah, Assange cannot get a fair trial.

Thanks for thinking of me while I was thinking of you. LOL
