Bush’s racist allies in Bolivia

This video from Democracy NOW! in the USA is called “Welcome to the Axis of Evil” -Pres. of Bolivia-1/2.

Part 2 of this interview with President Evo Morales is here.

As talks are under way in Bolivia now, aimed at ending the bloodshed by far Right extremists there …

From Dutch NOS TV, interviewing a sixteen year old paramilitary child soldier of the extreme right separatist movement in Bolivia. Headline:

“I am here to kill those fucking Indians”

Further, from the same interview:

We are of European ancestry.

That boy, politically, is from a lineage of the extreme Right in Bolivia, dating from Klaus Barbie and other World War II nazi criminals who fled to Bolivia; and dictator Hugo Banzer.

These are the people whom George W. Bush subsidizes with the tax dollars of the people of the United States.

Oppose the fascist coup in Bolivia! (Sign the petition)

http://links.org.au/node/626

Dear comrades and friends,

You will be aware of the US-backed “civic coup” underway in the Bolivia,
and the threats this poses to democracy and all nations’ right to
political, economic and social sovereignty.

We urge you/your organisation to sign the open petition we have
initiated in support of President Evo Morales and the Bolivian people,
and to circulate it widely among left and progressive individuals and
activists.

We hope you may also be able to use the petition to bring pressure
on the government of your own country to publicly state its support for
Bolivia’s right to freedom from imperialist intervention.

Racism, domination and revolution in Bolivia

By Adolfo Gilly

September 22, 2008 — Mexico — “The problem in Bolivia is that the
country is undergoing a process of reforms, without abandoning the
democratic framework, but both the opposition and the government act as
if they were facing a revolution”, stated Marco Aurelio García, a close
international affairs advisor to [Brazil’s president] Lula, according to
an article by José Natanson in the newspaper Pagina 12.
Allowing myself to not take this declaration literally, but instead in
an ironic sense, Marco Aurelio García, an intelligent and well-informed
man, can’t help but realise that if the two protagonists of the Bolivian
confrontation believe that they are dealing with a revolution, this
belief is the best confirmation that, in effect, it is. The
vice-president of Bolivia, Álvaro García Linera, on the other hand, has
said that what is happening is “an increase in elites, an increase in
rights, and a redistribution of wealth. This, in Bolivia, is a revolution.”

Evo Morales: Ten commandments to save the planet

By Evo Morales Ayma, president of the Republic of Bolivia
Message to the Continental Gathering of Solidarity with Bolivia in
Guatemala City
October 9, 2008 — Sisters and brothers, on behalf of the Bolivian
people, I greet the social movements of this continent present in this
act of continental solidarity with Bolivia.
We have just suffered the violence of the oligarchy, whose most brutal
expression was the massacre in Panda, a deed that teaches us that an
attempt at power based on money and weapons in order to oppress the
people is not sustainable. It is easily knocked down, if it is not based
on a program and the consciousness of the people.
We see that the re-founding of Bolivia affects the underhanded interests
of a few families of large landholders, who reject as an aggression the
measures enacted to favour the people such as a more balanced
distribution of the resources of natural gas for our grandfathers and
grandmothers, as well as the distribution of lands, the campaigns for
health and literacy, and others.
