Which US-backed coup will be the model for Bolivia?

• Chile: Pinochet’s reign of terror
• Guatemala: Ríos Montt’s genocide of indigenous
• Honduras: Hernandez’ violent narco-state
• Haiti: Brutal misery long after Aristide’s ouster

Denounce this Trump-backed right-wing takeover now!

Why was Evo Morales overthrown? He was nationalizing the highly profitable lithium industry and planning to deal directly on the international market rather than exporting the commodity at bargain prices to Western corporations

Mining industry website notes Bolivia is part of “lithium triangle,” where 75% of world’s lithium comes from. This is needed for electronics, batteries, etc.

It lamented that Evo Morales was “no friend to mining” and had nationalized the natural resources

Evo Morales, the elected leader of Bolivia, will probably be murdered tonight, in a US-instigated coup in Bolivia.

So if y’all could stop expecting me to be super-duper excited about American “freedom” for a little while, that’d be cool.

Another US-backed military coup in Latin America and another grave tragedy that will spill innocent Bolivian blood because Washington power brokers think it’s “our backyard.”
