An Entire Continent Tells The Bushistas To Go To Hell
Bolivia's balkanization won't be allowed. The presidents of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela are meeting to give their full support to president Morales who faces a coup from rich landowners and their thugs supported by the fascists.
Latin American presidents meet with Bolivia on brink of civil war
"The presidents of nine Latin American nations assembled in the Chilean capital of Santiago Monday for an emergency summit of the recently created Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) to deal with the crisis in Bolivia.
The Bolivian government of Evo Morales has been under attack by a right-wing coalition of landowners and businessmen in the eastern part of the country with covert backing from Washington. They have launched a series of violent demonstrations, the looting of government offices, sabotage of the economy and a massacre of peasants supporting the government."
Morales Confronts the Insurrection
"As Bolivia teeters on the brink of civil war, President Evo Morales staunchly maintains his commitment to constructing a popular democracy by working within the state institutions that brought him to power. The show down with the right wing is taking place against the backdrop of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the overthrow of Salvador Allende, the heroic if tragic president of Chile who believed that the formal democratic state he inherited could be peacefully transformed to usher in a socialist society.
Like Allende, Morales faces a powerful economic and political elite aligned with the United States that is bent on reversing the limited reforms he has been able to implement during his nearly three years in power."
The massacre referred to above happened last thursday and deserves to be elucidated. Democracy from the bottom up has to be crushed by fascism at all costs. For decades this has been the standing policy of US interests in Central and South America - destroy any threat of a good example.
"On September 11, a column of 1,000 peasants on their way to a pro-government rally in the city of Cotija in the northwest corner of Bolivia was intercepted by paramilitary gangs while crossing the Tahuamanu River. The peasants were met with indiscriminate machine-gun fire. Witnesses at the scene describe how women and children were gunned down as they fled toward the river. Many of those who managed to reach the bridge across the river were pushed into the water, while gunners fired from above. The death toll now stands at 25, with 106 missing. Cotija is the capital of Pando Province. President Morales accused Leopoldo Fernandez, Pando’s governor, of organizing the massacre."
