The U.S.-backed right-wing coup government of Jeanine Añez continues its moves against media and other dissenting voices.

‘Killing His Own People’ – Previous Regime-Change Lies And Their Consequences

January 11, 2020 By Gavin O'Reilly, Ahtribune.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Middle East, Regime Change

Prior to his assassination in a US Drone strike in Baghdad last Friday, Qasem Soleimani would perhaps not have been the most well-known of figures amongst Western onlookers, despite the crucial role he played in Middle Eastern geopolitics. As commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp’s (IRCG) elite Quds Force branch, General Soleimani was instrumental in destroying the Caliphate that Islamic State (IS) had established in Iraq and Syria; with Iraq having been destabilized following the 2003 US-Anglo invasion, and Syria suffering a similar fate...

This Might Be The Final Episode Of Juan Guaidó’s Surreal Venezuela Regime-Change Reality Show

January 10, 2020 Leonardo Flores, Thegrayzone.com Educate! Juan Guaido, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Fistfights and screaming matches broke out at Venezuela’s National Assembly on January 5, when the legislative body was scheduled to elect its leader. But the melee was not what the corporate US media has portrayed it as. The fights weren’t between the Chavistas who support the Bolivarian Revolution and President Nicolás Maduro on one side and opposition members on the other, but rather between competing members of the opposition itself.

January 4, 2020 By Marco Teruggi, Workers.org Resist! Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Five major violent right-wing operations in Venezuela were put out of commission in 2019. That explains, in part, why the country is ending the year with a tranquility that many find surprising. The last major operation was supposed to take place Dec. 15. No one could have known at the beginning of 2019 how the year would end. Juan Guaidó had proclaimed himself “president” of Venezuela in an operation created and publicly supported by the U.S. under President Donald Trump. The country appeared to be heading for a violent confrontation with no end in sight.

Crisis & Critique: Venezuela, A Paradox Of Stability?

January 4, 2020 By Ociel Lopez, Venezuelanalysis.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

For Venezuelans, the start of 2019 was perhaps the tensest moment in the past seventeen years. Unlike the political violence of 2017 and the electoral abstention drama of 2018, we faced a real scenario of foreign military intervention in Venezuela. And for the first time, Washington’s long repeated threats to use military force, like in Iraq, Libya, Panama, etc., appeared credible. As the year wore on, the errors and miscalculations implicit in the US strategy became increasingly evident. A “parallel government” headed by Juan Guaido was created, but it had minimal capacity to shape events inside the country...

In the morning of Friday, December 20, the media in Bolivia highlighted the attack on the house of Juan Ramón Quintana, a Minister in the administration of Evo Morales, until the coup d’état. It was a clear threat not just to Quintana but all supporters of Evo and the Movement towards Socialism (MAS). “The goal is to be able to locate and proceed to kidnap any element that is related to him or the facts that are being investigated,” said Colonel Iván Rojas, national director of the Special Force Against Crime and one of the participants of the coup d’état that interrupted the institutionality in Bolivia.

The Coup In Bolivia: Lessons For Our Movement

December 28, 2019 Stansfield Smith, Orinocotribune.com Strategize! Bolivia, Latin America, Regime Change

The US engineered another coup, this time Bolivia, and again our movement could not effectively counter pro-coup propaganda the US was selling to the public, let alone taking any action to stop it. There is an imperative need for much greater long-term cooperative work to combat US interventions. Needed is a qualitatively higher level of unity of action among our networks to combat imperialism. Lenin, one of the most effective leaders of the struggles against the ruling classes, emphasized that “The proletariat has no other weapon in the fight for power except organization.”

Cochabamba, Bolivia — Known as Bolivia’s Chapare region, the Tropico of Cochabamba is a sanctuary for elected President Evo Morales’ most dedicated base of support. Since the November 10 coup, it has effectively become a self-governing territory where the military junta is absent.

The Real Lesson Of Afghanistan Is That Regime Change Does Not Work

December 21, 2019 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Nationofchange.org Educate! Afghanistan, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Middle East, Regime Change

The trove of U.S. “Lessons Learned” documents on Afghanistan published by the Washington Post portrays, in excruciating detail, the anatomy of a failed policy, scandalously hidden from the public for 18 years. The “Lessons Learned” papers, however, are based on the premise that the U.S. and its allies will keep intervening militarily in other countries, and that they must, therefore, learn the lessons of Afghanistan to avoid making the same mistakes in future military occupations.

Bolivia’s New US-Backed Interim Gov’t Wastes No Time Privatizing Economy

December 20, 2019 By Alan Macleod, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Bolivia, Latin America, Privatization, Regime Change

It has been barely one month since the administration of Jeanine Añez seized power in a military coup in Bolivia, but it has wasted no time in attempting to transform the economy and society. Its latest move is aimed at privatizing the country’s economy. A government spokesperson confirmed the fears of many, claiming that “I believe the government should reduce its own size” and a protagonistic role should be given to private enterprises. In case that was not clear enough, he emphasized, “Yes, I’m talking about privatization.” Bolivia’s economy is dependent on its nationalized oil and gas industries.

Bolivia: “We Are Not Afraid”

December 17, 2019 Cindy Forster, Resumen-english.org Resist! Bolivia, Latin America, Regime Change

The stamina of the people has prevented the victory that the U.S.-backed coup regime expected in Bolivia. Resistance to the coup has been successful via three strategies –road blockades, nonviolent protests of thousands that gathered force rather than diminishing in the face of massacres, and intensely collective decision-making. “We the Aymaras, Quechuas, all the Indigenous and original peoples, we have suffered discrimination for centuries,” said a Bolivian who was entering with streams of people to the city of La Paz, the center of governance, to protest the army’s ousting of president Evo Morales on November 10.
