Bolivian An America Coup d’état
A President who won by a margin of more than 10% which is a hell of a lot more than any of the last eight presidents in America, when a sudden uprising (AKA American coup) removed are popularly elected president of Bolivia. Not really a shocker with the fact that Bolivia, we now learn, has vast deposits of lithium. And was blocking Western mining companies from exploiting the lithium deposits arguing that if minors wanted access to the lithium and his country they would have to share the wealth with the people of Bolivia by helping to fund social programs. That did not go over well with the miners or with the bankers and not with the Western corporate interests. Morales did something that sealed his fate turn to China and accepted a deal to call off the mining of lithium by Western corporate interests. And sign a new deal with China but sharing the revenues with the Bolivian people. Morales is popular at home because he helps his people.But he stepped into that cold war fray that’s going on between the United States and China
