Expect to find CIA behind Morales' ouster: When an Elected Government Falls in Latin America, Look for US Role

When it comes to politics in Latin America, what initially seems clear is usually anything but.

And when that some complicated political event happens and is reported about in the US, the last place to look for clarity is the US media, which almost universally parrots the Washington line an imperialist one that takes as its premise the so-called Monroe Doctrine that all of Latin America is "the US backyard."

For well over a century, the US has played a corrupting hand throughout Latin America, often well hidden, sometimes in a hard-fisted manner. The military juntas in Brazil, in Argentina, in Chile and in Nicaragua, the overthrow of democratically elected governments in Honduras, in Nicaragua, in Guatemala, in Haiti, in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, the failed invasion attempt in Cuba shortly after the successful Cuban Revolution, the brutal civil war in El Salvador and the Contra War against the Sandinista revolutionary government in Nicaragua, the hunt and eventual murder of Che Guevara in Peru, Operation Condor, which tracked and murdered thousands of revolutionaries as the CIA coordinated the reactionary forces of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay"

It's an almost endless list, behind which one always finds the US Counter Intelligence Agency, US AID, the State Department and of course, the US military and its School of the Americas still a training ground for South American fascist military leaders ready to do the bidding of the region's fascist tyrants, or to help overthrow democratically elected leaders unwilling to kowtow to US empire.

1. So far, at least,

this appears to be a popular peopls's uprising against a dictator that was violating the Bolivian Constitution.
Even the OAS said there was irregularities with the voting in favor of Morales.

I know the US has done awful things in the past in LA and CA, but sometimes it just is what it is, the people uprising against an unpopular dictator.
