In November, December 2019, an Argentine delegation visited Bolivia, including Juan Grabois (CTEP), Roberto Carlés (a lawyer), Pablo Pimentel (APDH), Mauricio Rojas (APDH), Victoria Freire (Observatory of Gender and Public Policies of the City), Daniel Catalano (ATE), Marianela Navarro (FOL) and Sergio Smietniansky (CADEP).

At that time already 31 protesters were killed and hundreds wounded, since Bolivian President Evo Morales was ousted in the US-backed coup on 10 November 2019.
The Argentine delegation were told of disappearances, murders, arbitrary detentions, rapes, torture and hospitals that refuse to care for the wounded caused by the brutal repression.

The Argentine delegation were held and kicked at the airport by a mob. According to Carlés they pushed and hit them, with Daniel Catalano being kicked.
Carlés said:

From the apparel they wore, we assume they were civilian police forces. Meanwhile, the uniformed police were there witnessing all the harassment and doing nothing.

Then Minister Arturo Murillo came to threaten them: “Be careful, we are watching you”.

Lawyer Luis Arias, who was also part of the Argentine delegation, says that they faced attacks and threats from the “interim” government of Jeanine Añez.
Arias said:

This government has unleashed a huge racial hatred. They opened Pandora’s Box and a thousand demons came out who are expressing themselves in situations of profound violence.

Public hospitals do not want to treat the wounded and the public defenders do not want to defend the victims. There is a deep racial hatred that is directed especially against the most vulnerable sectors and women.

The stories are frightening. There are reports of disappearances, arbitrary detentions – among which are the case of three young people with Down’s syndrome - , torture of children, murders as a result of repressive actions by police forces, injuries by lead bullets, fires, among other things.

Illegitimate usurper president Jeanine Anez (again) breached article 169 of the Bolivian Constitution:

In the event of an impediment or definitive absence of the President, he or she shall be replaced by the Vice President and, in the absence of the latter, by the President of the Senate, and in his or her absence by the President of the Chamber of Deputies. In this last case, new elections shall be called within a maximum period of ninety days.

In case of temporary absence, the Vice President shall assume the Presidency for a term not to exceed ninety days.

If I've calculated correctly, that should be 8 February 2020 at the latest, while the elections are planned for 3 May…

Since Jeanine Anez was installed as puppet president it has launched a crackdown on all “hostile” media , closing down TV stations like TeleSUR. Critical journalists have even died under suspicious circumstances.
The Anez administration has also set up new SWAT-like secret police battalions to suppress “subversive voices”.

Bolivia pulled out of several international organizations (Morales was allowed to run based on an international treaty signed by Bolivia), has expelled thousands of foreigners, has recognised Israel and invited the Israeli Defense Forces to train the Bolivian security services and has even recognised the much despised Juan Guaidó as the head of state of Venezuela.
Earlier this month, a USAID team arrived in Bolivia to advise the government on how to stage the upcoming election.

The “interim government” led by Añez administration has started a privatisation program, aimed at selling Bolivia’s natural resources.

The Socialist MAS party (of Morales) announced for its candidates for the May elections Luis Arce Catacora for president and David Choquehuanca for vice-president. MAS leaders met in Argentina due to the repression in Bolivia.
Several MAS leaders couldn’t attend the meeting in Argentina. Walter Ferrufino was arrested when he tried to travel to Argentina for the meeting and Andrónico Rodríguez could not attend after he was accused of crimes by the new Anez administration: https://www.mintpressnews.com/bolivi...eaders/264240/

Illegitimate usurper president Jeanine Anez (again) breached article 169 of the Bolivian Constitution.

According to art. 169:

In the event of an impediment or definitive absence of the President, he or she shall be replaced by the Vice President and, in the absence of the latter, by the President of the Senate, and in his or her absence by the President of the Chamber of Deputies.

The general elections in Bolivia that were scheduled for 3 May 2020 were postponed to September 2020, for which the coronavirus “pandemic” was used an excuse (what else?).
Newly installed “interim” Bolivian president, Yankee puppet Jeanine Anez, has announced that she and another 7 “interim” ministers in her government tested “positive” for COVID-19. It looks like the election will be postponed again (and again and again) in a wonderful example of “democracy”: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...ction-12935564


The “mainstream” New York Times reported that the Organization of American States (OAS) claims that Evo Morales won the elections by fraud was severely flawed, as the OAS used incorrect data and inappropriate statistical techniques to manipulate the numbers to artificially create the appearance of a break in the voting trend.

Morales Tweeted in response:

Another independent student, adding to the many that already exist, shows that there was no fraud in the elections of October 20, 2019 in Bolivia, MAS-IPSP won cleanly. The people know they were cheated, they are wise and will be able to recover democracy.

The Puebla Group requested the “OAS validate the electoral results of the October 20, 2019 elections and declare the legitimacy of the election to the presidency of Evo Morales” and demanded from the Jeanine Áñez government to “immediately hand over state power, due to the systemic and inexplicable delays to hold elections in said country”: https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/06/...ectoral-fraud/

On July 24, 2020, Tesla’s Elon Musk tweeted that: “Another government stimulus package is not in the best interests of the people”.
Someone quickly replied to Musk on Twitter, “You know what wasn’t in the best interest of people? The U.S. government organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there”.

Musk then replied:

We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.

Elon Musk quickly deleted this (last) tweet, but not before it was archived:
http://web.archive.org/web/20200726182019/https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1286866843307737088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Evo Morales responded to Musk’s tweet (translated from Spanish):

Elon Musk, the owner of the largest electric car company, says about the coup in Bolivia: ‘We will coup whoever we want.’ Another proof that the coup was about Bolivian lithium; at the cost of two massacres. We will always defend our resources!

Tesla of course uses Lithium that is mined in Bolivia for its highly polluting electric cars.

The illegal Jeanine Áñez government bought 170 ventilators from a Spanish supplier for $27,000 a piece. These could have been produced in Bolivia for $1,000 per ventilator.
Health minister Marcelo Navajas was arrested for this scandal: https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/07...cy-in-bolivia/

More than 10 months have passed since Evo Morales was ousted in an OAS-organised coup...
According to the Bolivian constitution, general elections should have been held within 90 days of Morales fleeing the country. The beginning of February at the latest, before the start of the coronavirus “pandemic” (it’s that long ago).


In July, the Bolivia general elections were postponed for a second time, this time to 18 October.
There is no guarantee that they won’t be postponed again.

Evo Morales responded on Twitter:

The de facto government wants to win more time to continue persecuting social leaders and MAS candidates.
It's another form of proscription. That's why they don't want elections on September 6.

And then (despite the coronavirus hysteria) protests broke out.


Morales's supporters claim the election is only delayed because Morales’s MAS party candidate Luis Arce is leading in the polls.

Suspicious?!? Former minister in the Morales government, Eugenio Rojas, died “of COVID-19” at the age of 57: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...il/ar-BB17okz1

Protests continued and even intensified in August.

The illegal usurper government responded with threats, criminalisation of blockades, a dialogue without key actors and the mobilisation of the same armed “civilian” groups that were used during the coup.
These “civilian” groups during the coup attacked Morales supporters and attacked the homes of MAS leaders and kidnapped their relatives.

Edmundo Juan Nogales Arancibia explained:

These are groups that use violence, in many cases armed violence, with the complicity of state authorities, especially the police.
They appear in public wearing bulletproof vests and carrying small caliber weapons, and act with impunity, attacking popular sectors protesting against the de facto government.

After illegal president Jeanine Anez promised that the general elections won’t be postponed again, on 14 August the protest leaders promised to suspend the protests until 18 October (the day the general elections are now planned).
They warned that they would again go to the streets, if the coup-installed government will delay elections again or refuses to accept its defeat in the elections (which according to them is inevitable): https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/08/...ift-blockades/

On 17 September, Bolivia’s coup-president Jeanine Áñez, announced to withdraw from the general elections scheduled for October 18 (originally she promised not to enter at all).
Because she was a low fourth in the polls: https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/09/...ber-elections/


In early August, the International Rights of Nature Tribunal released a troubling report, concluding that the recent fires that burned close to 16 million acres of forest in Bolivia in 2019 were "ecocide provoked by Bolivian authorities and agro-industry".

The bishops urged voters to take the environment into account and asked the de facto Jeanine Anez government to review laws that allow individual farmers to clear around 40 acres of land (for which they often use fires) and other laws that have opened the way for genetically modified crops (particularly soy beans): https://www.ncronline.org/news/earth...tions-approach


The following suggests that the Brazil of Zionist Trump-connected president Jair Bolsonaro also played a major role in the Bolivian coup.

The same day of the coup, 11 November, the presidential jet was on its way to Brasilia (Brazil’s capital).
Since then, the plane made 25 separate visits to Brazil.

Why did the Bolivian presidential jet make so many trips to Brasilia?
Who travelled on the plane (it couldn’t have been Jeanine Añez, who remained in the presidential palace in Bolivia): https://www.mintpressnews.com/flight...brazil/268464/

Guess what? The US-orchestrated coup has made the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS-IPSP), for which Evo Morales ran last year, more popular than ever.

The Bolivian elections held on October 18, ended with a victory for Luis Arce and running mate David Choquehuanca with 55% of the vote, making a second round unnecessary as the 50% barrier was crossed.
This confirms once again that the results of last year’s election, which ended in a coup d’état, was not a fraud but based on unfounded accusations by the Organization of American States (OAS).

Even Jeanine Áñez herself conceded:

We do not yet have an official count, but from the data we have, Mr. Arce and Mr. Choquehuanca have won the election. I congratulate the winners and ask them to govern with Bolivia and democracy in mind.

On 9 November, Evo Morales made a triumphant return from Argentina to Bolivia, one day after President Luis Arce’s inauguration. He was welcomed by tens of thousands of supporters.
Morales said to the adoring crowd:

We have to keep working, our task now is to protect President Arce and our process of change, because the right doesn’t sleep and the empire is always looking at our natural resources, but we use our experience to go forward even stronger…

The coup was for lithium, imperialism doesn’t want us to develop value-added products within Bolivia, they want the transnational corporations to take it all.
