Best news on Bolivia to day since the racist, fascist European-descended wealthy landgrabbers of the Half-Moon area finally got the breaks they needed to steal power all over again.
Bravo, and very best hope for the real Bolivian people, the authentic, wildly abused people. This time is so important. No matter what, the dirtbags of the Media Luna are still going to lose, no matter how long it takes. They are so wildly outnumbered, and they have killed, tortured, abused, tormented anyone who could have been one of their friends already.
Bolivia coup led by Christian fascist paramilitary leader and millionaire – with foreign support
November 11, 2019
Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.

When Luis Fernando Camacho stormed into Bolivia’s abandoned presidential palace in the hours after President Evo Morales’s sudden November 10 resignation, he revealed to the world a side of the country that stood at stark odds with the plurinational spirit its deposed socialist and Indigenous leader had put forward.
With a Bible in one hand and a national flag in the other, Camacho bowed his head in prayer above the presidential seal, fulfilling his vow to purge his country’s Native heritage from government and “return God to the burned palace.”
“Pachamama will never return to the palace,” declared the pastor to his side, referring to the Andean Mother Earth spirit. “Bolivia belongs to Christ.”
. . .Virtually unknown outside his country, where he had never won a democratic election, Camacho stepped into the void. He is a powerful multi-millionaire named in the Panama Papers, and an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist groomed by a fascist paramilitary notorious for its racist violence, with a base in Bolivia’s wealthy separatist region of Santa Cruz.
Camacho hails from a family of corporate elites who have long profited from Bolivia’s plentiful natural gas reserves. And his family lost part of its wealth when Morales nationalized the country’s resources, in order to fund his vast social programs — which cut poverty by 42 percent and extreme poverty by 60 percent.
. . .
The presidential candidate Bolivia’s opposition had fielded in the October election, Carlos Mesa, is a “pro-business” privatizer with extensive ties to Washington. US government cables published by WikiLeaks reveal that he regularly corresponded with American officials in their efforts to destabilize Morales.
Mesa is currently listed as an expert at the Inter-American Dialogue, a DC-based think tank funded by the US government’s soft-power arm USAID, various oil giants, and a host of multi-national corporations active in Latin America.

Why does Luis Fernando Camacho feel he needs to wear a bullet-proof vest around? It's HIS people who do the assassinations, always has been. He and all other racists probably secretly fear all the rage is going to explode someday on the ones who abuse people the most. I hope his fear keeps him sleepless for the rest of his life.
