    Ah, I see the US still hasn't accepted that a democratic election can lead to a leftist leader? Wouldn't surprise me if the CIA had it's hands all over this. For some reason the US has a real hard-on particularly for Bolivia.

      I think it's that Bolivia keeps threatening to shake US control, but otherwise the same economic BS that's seen the US destabilizing regimes across Latin America.

    On Sunday footage circulated of what appeared to be a serving Bolivian soldier who claimed that Interior Minister Arturo Murillo was conspiring with army generals in a sinister plot to massacre indigenous people and launch a coup, should Mas win the election.

    The unidentified soldier said that Mr Murillo has armed paramilitaries with weapons and ammunition supplied by the US.

    “We have been ordered to shoot to kill indigenous people,” he appears to say in the recording.

    “We come from families in the countryside, and if we shoot indigenous people, it is the same as shooting our own parents or the parents of our soldiers who are doing military service.
