Bolivian Brief

Of course the item retreats to a brief after a colossal bunch of disinformation and propaganda yesterday.

Did you click the link and see why?

Case closed and entombed, BG and Amerikan MSM.

"Morales, rivals seek to lower tensions

LA PAZ - Bolivian President Evo Morales and opposition regional governors agreed yesterday to meet to try to ease a bitter power struggle that has gripped the South American country all year. The announcement followed a weekend recall vote in which both Morales and his biggest rightist rivals were confirmed in their jobs, a result some political analysts said would only serve to deepen their standoff. Governors in four of Bolivia's nine regions want more autonomy and a greater share of the country's booming energy revenues. They are demanding that Morales scrap a plan to redistribute farmland among the poor (Reuters)."

I'm all for local autonomy, etc, but this article fails to tell you that the resources are already concentrated in the US-allied sector of the country.

Besides, the US is involved in coup machinations against Morales... at least, that's what I've seen and heard on the blogs.


To get at Venezuela, of course!
