Bolivia has entered the final moments before an outcome of a complex sequence of events. The possibility of reaching an agreement has been buried after the right ignored the call made by President Evo Morales to constitute a new Supreme Electoral Tribunal and call for new general elections. The response led by Fernando Camacho, the main leader of the escalating coup, left no room for doubt: he demanded that Evo Morales, the senators, deputies, members of the Court of Justice, the Electoral Tribunal, resign, create a transitional government board and call for elections within 60 days.

November 11, 2019 Staff, Resumen Latinoamericano, translation North America bureau Educate! Bolivia, Electoral Politics, Fascism, Latin America, Regime Change

The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, has announced his resignation from office after opposition groups, who do not want to recognize the election results of last October 20, launched a wave of violence. The escalation of violence by these groups attacked militants and leaders of the Movement towards Socialism (MAS). They are intimidating journalists, burning residences of MAS members, including Evo’s sister, and attacking anyone who looks indigenous. Some political allies and the National Police have gone over to the side of the opposition. The country is in a complete crisis.

Ecuador: More Uprisings Ahead As Moreno Fails To Listen To The People

November 8, 2019 Juan Manuel Boccacci, Pagina 12, translation Resumen Latinoamericano, North America bureau Resist! Ecuador, Electoral Politics, Latin America, Lenin Moreno, Regime Change

Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno seems to be determined to not listen to the claims being demanded across the country that began only 20 days ago. Revoking Decree 883, which eliminated fuel subsidies, led to a struggle between the Government and indigenous organizations headed by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE). As this issue is still under political discussion, the Government continues bowing to the dictates of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Bolivian Right-Wing Activates ‘Electoral Fraud’ Contingency Plan Against Morales

November 6, 2019 By Zoe PC, Peoplesdispatch.org Educate! Bolivia, Electoral Politics, Latin America, Regime Change

Tensions have been rising in Bolivia following the general elections conducted on October 20. The right-wing opposition has refused to recognize the results which saw president Evo Morales of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) win 47.07% of the votes cast to clinch a first-round victory over Carlos Mesa of the Citizen Community alliance who won 36.52%. Opposition sectors have claimed that as initial results indicated that a run-off election would be necessary, electoral fraud was committed in order to give Morales the 10-point margin he needed to win in the first round.

Positive Signs That The Tide Is Turning Towards Humanity In Latin America

November 4, 2019 Alicia Jrapko, Resumen-english.org Educate! History, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism

As we are gathering today, in my country Argentina, there is a very important presidential election taking place. If there is no fraud, it appears that the progressive formula of Alberto Fernandez for President and Cristina Fernandez for Vice-president have won. This is a good sign and very close to my heart. I left Argentina in the seventies at the time of bloody military dictatorship in South America, I was one of the lucky ones that was able to survive to tell the story. This election is one example of the push back against the imperial advances in Latin America...

Max Blumenthal Arrest Exposes Hypocrisy Of Western Media And ‘Human Rights’ NGOs

November 1, 2019 Joe Emersberger, Fair.org Educate! Journalism, Latin America, Regime Change, Repression, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Blumenthal is a bestselling author whose work has appeared in such publications as the New York Times, CJR, The Nation and Salon. DC police arrested him at his home on a five-month-old arrest warrant, charging him with simple assault for his attempt to deliver food to the besieged Venezuelan embassy; he was held for two days, and for the first 36 hours was not allowed to speak with a lawyer. (In an interview with FAIR, Blumenthal noted that keeping arrestees—generally poor and African-American—from speaking with lawyers or family is par for the course in the DC criminal justice system.)

By Protecting Syria’s Idlib, The US Created A Safe Haven For Baghdadi And ISIS

November 1, 2019 Dan Cohen, Thegrayzone.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, ISIS, Middle East, Regime Change, Syria

October has been a tough month for the motley crew of self-styled Syria experts and regime-change diehards who spent years cheering on the so-called “moderate rebels.” First, the “Free Syrian Army” fighters they had long championed were finally and undeniably exposed as the brutal extremists they always were. All it took for the curtain to be pulled back was for President Trump to green-light a Turkish invasion of Syria, and those once-“moderate” CIA-trained contras that had long terrorized civilians in Syrian government territory were revealed to be Turkish-backed mercenaries...

The US Double Standard In Venezuela Vs. Honduras

October 31, 2019 Steve Ellner and Teri Mattson, Jacobinmag.com Educate! Honduras, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The recent conviction of Tony Hernández for massive cocaine smuggling in a federal court case in which his brother, Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, was an unindicted co-conspirator demonstrates one thing beyond a doubt: Honduras is a narco-state. The equally compelling evidence of widespread corruption, electoral fraud, and savage repression confirms Honduras’s status as a rogue state and begs comparison with Venezuela, which has faced similar accusations.

The USA’s History Of Controlling The OPCW To Promote Regime Change

You wouldn’t know it from today’s news headlines, but there’s a major scandal unfolding with potentially far-reaching consequences for the entire international community. The political/media class has been dead silent about the fact that there are now two whistleblowers whose revelations have cast serious doubts on a chemical weapons watchdog group that is widely regarded as authoritative, despite the fact that this same political/media class has been crowing all month about how important whistleblowers are and how they need to be protected ever since a CIA spook exposed some dirt on the Trump administration.

Crises In Ecuador, Chile, “Reflects The Exhaustion Of Neoliberal Policies”

October 29, 2019 Staff, Sputnik, translation, Resumen Latinoamericano, North America bureau Educate! Chile, Ecuador, Latin America, Regime Change

Several neoliberal or right-wing governments in South America are turning authoritarian in the face of mass protests taking place in their countries, undermining thus the “region’s weak democratic institutionalism,” Spanish political analyst Pascual Serrano told Sputnik. “What is going on in Ecuador, and Chile, which are currently the most visible examples, or in Peru where the Congress was dissolved a few weeks ago, is not an institutional crisis but the exhaustion of neoliberal policies undertaken by right-wing governments, which instead of correcting their mistakes are shifting to authoritarian models”...

Honduras Is Ruled By A US-Backed Drug Cartel – And The Country’s Opposition Just United To Oust It

October 28, 2019 Ben Norton, Thegrayzone.com Resist! Honduras, Latin America, Regime Change

The main forces in the political opposition in Honduras have come together in an historic unity agreement to oust the right-wing government of President Juan Orlando Hernández — one of the most corrupt regimes on Earth. Hernández, commonly referred to by his initials JOH, is a key US ally in Central America, and is notorious for his documented involvement in the international narcotics trade. While the United States federal government and military has thrown its weight behind JOH and his unpopular government, the US justice system recently confirmed his role in drug trafficking and the shocking levels of corruption festering under his watch.

Truth Is Told On National TV: US Must End Regime Change Wars

October 22, 2019 Finian Cunningham, Strategic-culture.org Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Regime Change

No wonder Democratic Party bosses and mainstream media are trying to bury presidential contender Tulsi Gabbard. She is the only candidate, perhaps the only politician in the US, who is telling the American public exactly what they need to know about what their government and military are really up to: fighting illegal regime-change wars, and to boot, sponsoring terrorists for that purpose. It didn’t come much clearer nor more explicit than when Gabbard fired up the Democratic TV debate this week.

The Latest On The Diplomatic War Against Venezuela

October 8, 2019 By Leonardo Flores, Commondreams.org Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, Sanctions, Venezuela

According to conventional wisdom, the Trump administration, as well as its regional allies in the Lima Group and the Venezuelan opposition, were set to intensify the diplomatic war on the Venezuelan government at the U.N. General Assembly. However, they only managed to demonstrate how far removed their coalition against President Maduro is from convincing the international community that deadly sanctions and a coup are the way forward for Venezuela. Their plan had several goals: increase the number of countries that recognize Juan Guaidó...
