Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia, was pressured by the police and the military to resign.
Regardless of any suggestion of improprieties in the election (still unproven), he was at the point of his removal the serving president, hence, it was a coup. Since then, the new regime has threatened journalists and characterized indigenous persons as “animals.”
Once again, the administration of the U.S. is supporting the coup, and the people of Bolivia, like the people of Honduras who were similarly betrayed by the administration of the U.S., will pay the price in suffering and death.
