Bolivia VP Alvaro Garcia Linera on the ebbing Latin American tide

"In cultural terms, there is a determined effort by the media, by NGOs, by organic right-wing intellectuals, to devalue, to call in question, and discredit the idea and the project of change and revolution. They are targeting what can be considered the golden, virtuous Latin American decade."

Behind the Bolivia Miner Cooperatives’ Protests and the killing of the Bolivian Vice-Minister

"So far the US anti-war, anti-interventionist movements have not strongly responded to the escalating US coup attempts against progressive elected Latin American governments."

WATCH: The CIA and the National Endowment for Democracy

Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, declared in 1991: 'A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.'"

Western Intervention and The Colonial Mindset

"Those of good will in the imperial cultures might like to reflect on the need to decolonise the western mind."

The Dirty Hand of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in Venezuela

"The NED, a “foundation” created by Congress in 1983 to essentially do the CIA’s work overtly, has been one of the principal financiers of destabilization in Venezuela throughout the Chavez administration and now against President Maduro. According to NED’s 2013 annual report, the agency channeled more than $2.3 million to Venezuelan opposition groups and projects. "

Amnesty International: Infamous Tool of Conspiracies

According to Dr. Boyle’s confession the main objective of “Amnesty International” is to facilitate money laundering and execute orders from the governments of the US and the UK, and especially from THE CIA. Francis Boyle says “The stance our organization took in defending the now defunct Apartheid regime in South Africa and Israel emanates from the directives it received from the US Central Intelligence Agency.”

Thirty Years After the U.S. Invasion of Grenada, the First Neoliberal War

"Therefore it is with considerable nostalgia that I look back on this period, this before the Western left’s spinal cord had been surgically removed and its head compressed into its waist, forming a monstrous human starfish that reaches out in all directions (having little of its own). However, to end on a more productive note, the Latin American left has never been stronger, more dominant, and more unified..."

End to USAID Spying Looms in Latin America

"In June 2012, foreign ministers of the ALBA bloc countries passed a resolution on USAID. It read: «Citing foreign aid planning and coordination as a pretext, USAID openly meddles in sovereign countries' domestic affairs, sponsoring NGOs and protest activities intended to destabilize legitimate governments which are unfavorable from Washington's perspective. ...In most ALBA countries, USAID operates via its extensive NGO networks, which it runs outside of the due legal framework, and also illicitly funds media and political groups."

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, POPULAR SUPPORT IS AUTHORTARIANISM

"NGOs operate in much the same way today, facilitating imperial designs which only bring war, instability and misery first to the majority people’s of the South behind the mask of those people’s “human rights”. It is a mask however that is being ripped off, first with the call by ALBA for member countries to expel US AID and its representatives, and then this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin signing a bill that will make all NGO’s that receive external funding register as foreign agents, and most recently with Chavez pulling Venezuela out of the OAS’ Inter-American Human Rights Court. The OAS is of course another tool of western domination of the region, a body that is supposed to promote democracy is itself undemocratic and continues to violate the majority will of its members to end the criminal blockade on Cuba."

Open Eyes

"Watching the privileged and powerful at the climate change talks in Cancun, religious bigotry took a back seat to state and market propaganda, but the contempt for indigenous peoples and their sense of the sacred was front and center. With only the state of Bolivia dissenting from the state and market narrative, the concept of saving the planet or extending human rights through this international forum was trampled by hoards of self-congratulatory bureaucrats and career activists whose funding depends on maintaining this progressive hoax."
