How Bolivia\u2019s 2019 coup exemplified millennia of global history<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Eric Zuesse<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Throughout thousands of years of human history, dictatorships have been the norm, not the exception, and all of them have been by the aristocracy, against the public. (Sometimes, the aristocrats are led by one person, a \u201cmonarch\u201d or \u201cFuehrer\u201d or etc.; but he or she then REPRESENTS the aristocracy, NOT the public.)<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Aristocrats are the nation\u2019s few super-rich; the public are everyone else.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Usually, the aristocracy \u2018justifies\u2019 its \u2018superiority\u2019 as being god-ordained, and they hire (donate to) some clergy to allege this in order to keep the public fighting for them and maybe dying for them, in their wars of conquest, against the aristocracies who control foreign lands. Another way to fool their publics is to declare that these conquests will \u2018free\u2019 those foreign publics by replacing their local aristocracy with the invading country\u2019s aristocracy (a \u2018better\u2019 one; those others are instead being called \u201coligarchs\u201d), and so creating an empire, which represents \u2018us\u2019 against the foreigners\u2019 \u2018them\u2019, while also making those foreigners \u2018free\u2019 from their \u201coligarchs.\u201d This is called \u2018spreading democracy\u2019.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Throughout thousands of years, aristocracies have operated this way, deceiving masses of people so as to create empires, which expand the local aristocracy\u2019s thefts, from being merely thefts against their local public, to\u00a0becoming<\/i>\u00a0thefts against\u00a0an entire empire\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0public (using those local \u201coligarchs\u201d as their vassals).<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Here is how this worked out recently in Bolivia:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

On 11 November 2011, The U.S. White House issued this\u00a0\u201cStatement from President Donald J. Trump Regarding the Resignation of Bolivian President Evo Morales\u201d<\/a>:<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The resignation yesterday of Bolivian President Evo Morales is a significant moment for democracy in the Western Hemisphere.\u00a0 After nearly 14 years and his recent attempt to override the Bolivian constitution and the will of the people, Morales\u2019s departure preserves democracy and paves the way for the Bolivian people to have their voices heard.\u00a0 The United States applauds the Bolivian people for demanding freedom and the Bolivian military for abiding by its oath to protect not just a single person, but Bolivia\u2019s constitution.\u00a0 These events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in Venezuela and Nicaragua that democracy and the will of the people will always prevail.\u00a0 We are now one step closer to a completely democratic, prosperous, and free Western Hemisphere.<\/i><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

On 13 November 2019, the billionaire Rupert Murdoch\u2019s Fox \u2018News\u2019 headlined\u00a0\u201cBolivia interim president declares ‘Bible has returned to the palace’ amid growing uncertainty\u201d<\/a>, and reported<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

A day after brandishing a giant leather-bound\u00a0<\/i>Bible<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and declaring herself\u00a0<\/i>Bolivia\u2019s<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0interim president, Jeanine A\u00f1ez set to the task of trying to steady a nation divided by bloody\u00a0<\/i>political<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0disputes and create the stability necessary to organize national elections.<\/i><\/h4>\n

The 52-year-old second-vice president of the Senate\u00a0<\/i>claimed the presidency on Tuesday<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0following the ousting of socialist leader Evo Morales due to alleged election fraud and resignations from several high-ranking successors that left a power void in the country.<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Bible has returned to the government palace,\u201d A\u00f1ez declared as part of an effort to separate herself from Morales, who had banned the Bible from the site after he reformed the constitution and recognized an Andean earth deity instead of the Roman Catholic Church<\/i>.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Then, two days later, on November 15th, Anti-War dot com bannered\u00a0\u201cFinally Got Him: The Bolivian Coup\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and reported:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The U.S. says it wasn\u2019t a coup.<\/i><\/h4>\n

Trump\u2019s\u00a0<\/i>official statement<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0“applauds” the Bolivian regime change for preserving democracy. Trump identifies the event as “a significant moment in democracy” because it stymied Bolivian President Evo Morales\u2019 attempt “to override the Bolivian constitution and the will of the people. …”<\/i><\/h4>\n

But all three White House claims are false: Morales didn\u2019t go against the constitution, he didn\u2019t override the will of the people and it was a coup.<\/i><\/h4>\n

If it wasn\u2019t a coup, why was Morales forced from office by the military? Why was he driven out of office in Bolivia and into asylum in Mexico for the sake of his safety, while a coup leader announced that the police and military were\u00a0<\/i>hunting Morales down<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and putting Bolivia into lockdown? Why as he fled and sought asylum was his house ransacked,\u00a0<\/i>his sister\u2019s house set on fire<\/i><\/span><\/a>, and the families of his cabinet ministers kidnapped and held hostage until the ministers resigned? Though reported in the mainstream media as abandoning Morales, Victor Borda resigned as president of the Bolivian congress and resigned his position as MP because his brother was kidnapped to force him to do so.<\/i><\/h4>\n

If it wasn\u2019t a coup, why did the opposition assume power before the legislature voted on approving Morales\u2019 resignation as the constitution demands? Why did Jeanine A\u00f1ez declare herself interim president\u00a0<\/i>in the absence of the quorum<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0that is legally required to make that decision after meeting with the military high command for over an hour? And why did the opposition force Morales out and assume power before Morales\u2019 term in office would end in January?<\/i><\/h4>\n

If it wasn\u2019t a coup, why did Morales\u2019 opponent, Carlos Mesa, begin his claims of fraud\u00a0<\/i>before the voting began<\/i><\/span><\/a>, before he could know there had been any fraud? Why did Mesa insist, according to Mark Weisbrot, that he would not accept the election results if Morales wins long before the votes were even counted?<\/i><\/h4>\n

And why, perhaps most damningly, did a cabal of coup plotters discuss between October 8th and 10th \u2013 days ahead of the October 20th election \u2013 a plan for social disturbance that would prevent Morales from staying in power, as revealed by\u00a0<\/i>leaked audio of their conversations<\/i><\/span><\/a>?\u00a0<\/i><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Then, on 24 July 2020, the Twitter site of an American centi-billionaire, Elon Musk, received a tweet from an \u201cArmani\u201d saying, \u201cYou know what wasnt 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.\u201d Later that day, Musk replied:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\u201cWe will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.\u201d<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Why, then, was the Bible being presented, on 13 November 2019, as the coup\u2019s justification?<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Not enough suckers would have been fooled to support this fascist coup as having been a fascist coup \u2014 a coup\u00a0by an aristocracy<\/i>. It was actually even\u00a0a racist-fascist coup<\/i><\/a>, a \u201cnazi\u201d coup (a coup by a racist aristocracy), which aimed to steal from the native-Indian masses in Bolivia, for the benefit of the supremacist-White aristocracy there, who were subordinates, or vassals, of America\u2019s own overwhelmingly White aristocracy, its billionaires, such as the racist-fascist Elon Musk. Fox \u2018News\u2019 had broadcast that biblical display to its own overwhelmingly White Christian audience so as to portray that theft against Bolivians as having been in service to their god and consequently \u2018justifiable\u2019. It\u2019s simply the way that aristocracies have functioned, for thousands of years.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Then, on 14 July 2022, the \u201cDeclassified UK\u201d investigative-news site headlined\u00a0\u201cEVO MORALES: \u2018WE LAMENT THE ENGLISH WERE CELEBRATING THE SIGHT OF DEAD PEOPLE\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and delivered from Matt Kennard a terrific, linked-to-sources, extensive interview with the U.S.-UK-Bolivian aristocracy-overthrown former Bolivian President, who explained, as Kennard\u2019s summary at its front stated:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\u2022 THE COUP: \u2018The UK participated in it \u2013 all for lithium\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 THE BRITISH: \u2018Superiority is so important to them, the ability to dominate\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 THE US: \u2018Any relationship with them is always subject to conditions\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 NEW MODEL: \u2018We no longer submit to transnational corporations\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 JULIAN ASSANGE: \u2018The detention of our friend is an intimidation\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 NATO: \u2018We need a global campaign to eliminate it\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

\u2022 BOLIVIA: \u2018We are putting anti-imperialism into practice\u2019<\/i><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Morales, while he had held power in Bolivia, had produced, for the Bolivian people, results that publics elsewhere could only dream of.<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Of course, the U.S.\/UK regime will be trying to reconquer Bolivia.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

History teaches lots of lessons, to whomever in the public is open-minded to it and who is lucky enough to become exposed to its truths (despite the aristocracy\u2019s\u00a0overwhelming censorship against those truths<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 which are historical truths).<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse\u2019s next book (soon to be published) will be\u00a0AMERICA\u2019S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler\u2019s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change<\/i>. It\u2019s about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world\u2019s wealth by control of not only their \u2018news\u2019 media but the social \u2018sciences\u2019 \u2014 duping the public.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
