At Wednesday’s debut of the impeachment hearings there was one issue upon which both sides of the aisle seemed to agree, and it was a comic-book caricature of reality.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff led off the proceedings with this: “In 2014, Russia invaded a United States ally, Ukraine, to reverse that nation’s embrace of th…[Read more]

Thank you for your insights – still have a 2004 Prius with about 60,000 miles. When I bought it, I lived in the Washington, DC area and I had to wait months until the one I have became available and I had no choice in color so I got it in gray. I’ve replaced the battery, tail lights and the dash-board mechanism/computerized system, a…[Read more]

A coup took place in Bolivia on November 10. The fact that the president of the country, Evo Morales, resigned does not contradict the fact that a coup has taken place. Morales was forced by the military to resign. The perpetrators of the Hybrid War were envisioning this same scenario for Venezuela but failed while they succeed in Bolivia. What…[Read more]

Yes those are all good points and no one has the answers.

I think that climate change is a good common enemy and that would also be my first guess at where Sanders is going and what needs to be done. Having said that (the guillotines) – still so many deniers and this is what makes me so cynical. Also, although I’m a fan of XR -…[Read more]

I found this part very provocative – there is no doubt in my mind that Bolivia will become a neo-liberal hell and a quasi dictatorship…
Evo Morales found asylum in Mexico. Bolivia will now turn into a neoliberal hell and a quasi-dictatorship. It will take time, a lot of effort and probably a civil war to regain what was lost…[Read more]

The coup in Bolivia is devastating for the majority of the people in that country. Are their lessons to learn from it?

Andrea Lobo writes at WSWS:

Bolivian president Evo Morales of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party was forced to resign Sunday evening by the Bolivian military in a coup backed by the United States. Last night, Morales…

Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.

(no sxxx Sherlock!)

Multilateral organizations like the Organization of American States (OAS) have a certain perceived impartiality because they are, in theory, controlled by a diverse group of nations. But sometimes a great power can wield a disproportionate influence. It could theoretically be a coincidence that both the Trump administration…[Read more]
