Today, the ghosts of Bolivia’s 180 years of simulated democracy will haunt the empty halls of the Bolivian Congress in
La Paz at 10:30 a.m. as the Senators and Deputies of the disgraced official parties convene 740 kilometers away, in
Sucre, to sign a death warrant on a nation’s hopes for authentic democracy.
The legislators had to be flown to Sucre in military airplanes to pull the underhanded maneuver that is on today’s
docket: the installation of an unpopular, indeed reviled, politician and oligarch, Hormando Vaca Diez, as illegitimate
president.
Read all about Vaca Diez's "Doctrine of Authoritarian Government" and our intelligence information on what his first
moves will be a "president."
Read, in detail, about the rise of the Bolivian majority that all night has traveled to Sucre in order to stop him.
And read, especially, about the role that Washington is playing in this dirty scheme to bring civil war - and justify
U.S. military intervention - in Bolivia.
It's all on The Narcosphere:
Luis Gomez and the Narco News team is on the scene in Bolivia, and will update this story throughout the day.
