A few days ago, a document surfaced online. It was a leaked police memo outlining a joint operation between the Bolivian police and the United States military to capture former president Evo Morales and, according to multiple reports, massacre the villagers who stood in their way. The response from the Bolivian people was immediate and defiant. Indigenous rural communities surrounded Morales’ residence to protect him. Workers seized Chimoré airport near his home, blocking the runway to prevent American planes or helicopters from landing. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a people fighting for their lives and the Western media is barely whispering about it.

It appears that Evo Morales used an invented USA threat to motivate his supporters. All video "evidence" is of his supporters doing stuff as prevention of that invented threat, not in reaction to an actual USA kidnapping attempt.

There is an actual Bolivian threat for Eva Morales though: Bolivian courts had first ordered his arrest in 2024 because of a rape case, but Morales holed up in a regional stronghold to avoid appearing before court. Recently the Bolivian government has been making new moves to make an actual arrest, which Morales appears to want to thwart by rallying his supporters again.

    I don't see where it "appears" Morales "invented" anything. The USA kidnapped Maduro and invented charges against him.

    It's interesting how you automatically assume the United States narrative, it's not like the United States ever lied and made up allegations to coup or foment coups in the global East or South, or Mideast, amirite? Oh wait... 🙄
