Bolivia: Remember the Moneda Declaration

Thank you to the many readers who have sent on the link of the interview given by now dead terrorist cell leader Eduardo Rozsa-Flores (ERF) in which he states that he was in Bolivia to organize a militia in order to force the separation of Santa Cruz (and/or the rest of the 'medialuna' region) from the rest of Bolivia.

In the interview (here in full on youtube, thanks MH) ERF claims his actions to be legal. Fortunately, we can point to a clearly defined document that shows he is wrong. The Moneda Declaration of September 15th 2008 came in the wake of the attempted coup and violence in perpetrated by the authorities in East Bolivia. Here's the link to the whole thing in English, but here are points one and two of the nine point declaration:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1. Their fullest and decided support for the constitutional government of President Evo Morales, whose mandate was ratified by a wide margin in the recent referendum.

2. They warn that its respective governments energetically reject and do not recognize any situation that implies an intent of civil coup d'etat, the rupture of institutional order, or that compromises the territorial integrity of the Republic of Bolivia

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This makes it abundantly clear that the whole of the continent of South America and other guest states such as Mexico categorically reject the separatist movement of East Bolivia, headed up by the people who funded ERF and his gang of now dead or arrested insurgents. ERF's interview makes it abundantly clear that he was working to illegally divide Bolivia with the full knowledge of people such as Prefect Costas and Branco Marinkovic. There is now plenty of evidence for arrest of these people and I'm quite sure there's more evidence to come.

As I mentioned before, I'm quite sure that foolish wannabe Dwyer had no idea what the hell he was getting involved in.

MEANWHILE, I received the following text and photo this morning as forwarded by a friend. Very interesting. so much for all that crap about them being unarmed in the hotel.

There is a photo Bolivian media today that has not yet been covered in
the international media. The photo can be found in the archives of
Eduardo Rozsa Flores blog from December 2008. It shows Rozsa Flores
sleeping almost naked with two automatic weapons in his bed.

The Bolivia right wing newspaper El Deber claims the photo is a fake
and not on the blog, but indeed it is on his blog, its just buried in
the archives. I found it there and the link is below. The text in
Hungarian seems to indicated that he published the photo to show his
friends what life in hiding is like. The news media in Bolivia has
confirmed the the furniture and walls match the Hotel Buganvilla in
Santa Cruz, a location not previously identified.

Regardless of why Rozsa Flores posted this photo, it does seem to lend
credence to the idea of a shootout rather than a cold blooded killing
of Rozsa Flore and companions in their underwear in the Las Americas
Hotel room.

Here is the link on the blog you need to scroll down:

The Bolivian mercenary terrorist cell and how they were funded: A primer for journalists

I've been moaning to a couple of mailpals this last 24 hours that know the mediaworld about the ongoing harassment (there is no other word) I'm getting from English language journalists about this Bolivian mercenary Evo assassination death terror squad thing. I mean, when (as one example of many) I write a polite but direct reply to the WSJ's hack in LatAm telling him that I don't want to be famous, I have no wish to be interviewed or mentioned in his rag and ask him specifically not to write again and he then sends not one but two more mails, the lack of respect oozes through his pores.

My pals (who know the world of media) don't really understand why I should be bugged like this, either. For one thing, I just ran a couple of posts on the issue...no biggie. For another, it's not as if the blog coverage here on Martin Dwyer was some kind of unearthly secret, either. It just happened to get out there first via this humble corner of cyberspace, but it's all public domain stuff anyway and any decent reporter wouldn't need to waste his salaried time on a free-to-access blog and its unpaid blogger. So rather than put up with this shit any longer, here are a few pointers for those that would rather drink FruityRumPunch and regurgitate other people's work than actually do their own investigation (I mean...perish the thought). What follows are pointers to the real big story that will unfold in the next few days but I'm not going to spoonfeed you the thing. And by the way, all links are in Spanish (one's in Portuguese in fact) so you need to know a bit more than "Quiero una cerveza" to get to the bottom of it.

1) This is the link to an ABI report that has an un-named source (who was clearly a witness to the closed session committal hearing of the two terrorist survivors in La Paz yesterday) saying that the terrorist cell was being funded by the Santa Cruz secret masonic lodges. These lodges are not affiliated to the official Bolivian Freemasons because the official people don't like how they were formed, what they say and what they do in their meetings.

2) This is the link to a page on which you can find Reymi Ferreira's 1994 study of the Lodges of Santa Cruz, 100% essential background reading into these pieces of shit.

3) This link and this link are where you can read that since 1994, the Toborochi lodge (one of the two secret lodges under question here) has been taken over by Branco Marinkovic, the opposition leader, oil magnate and thoroughly unlikeable racist turd who has been organizing both legal and illegal resistance to the government of Evo Morales these last few years.

4) This is the link to a video interview with an ex-secret lodge member who decided to betray them because he saw they were working to illegally destabilize Bolivia.

You also note along the way just how many times the word "Croatia" comes up in polite conversation. Branco is Croat blood, so was the leader the mercenaries. His cohorts with the exception of Dwyer all fought in the Croatian war and the same battalion (and according to shared tattoos also trained in the same training centre). If you check out this link you'll even find out the term for the region, "media luna", was co-opted from Croatian history. Also, take a wild guess as to where the expelled US Ambassador to Bolivia, Phillip Goldberg, was stationed in the 1990's.

The rest is up to you, hackos, but all roads lead to the same place and the same person, who is also a person with extreme both racist and anti-communist sentiments, a lot of money and a lot to lose under Evo's land reform. The next one of you to bug me with your inane line of questioning (with the notable exception of the three reporters who were polite and respectful... you know who you are because I mentioned that your good manners were appreciated in my replies) gets flamed on the blog, including name, name of editor, e-mail address and the rest.

Bolivia goes to the polls tomorrow

In a couple of pretty classless moves to try and affect the vote tomorrow, foreign press are getting in on the Whack-An-Evo game. Firstly CNN, which tried its very hardest to lay out the non-existent terrorist trail between Bolivia and Iran. CNN also wheeled out the usual biased, uninformed bullshit about the narcotrafficking in Bolivia. His Evoness himself said that "everyone knows what CNN's orientation is."

Secondly, El Pais interviewed racist leader the Santa Cruz thugs, Branko Marinkovic. Not one difficult question about his UJC hit-squad or a mention of how they terrorize and beat up indigenous locals. Nothing about the attempted coup or how he's refused to answer court orders to explain his role in last year's insurrection. All El Pais threw to the shit were softballs, but even then he couldn't help but show his non-democracy. At the end, Branko signs off with, "The government must understand that it can't govern against the will of half the country."

Now even if that "half the country" thing were true it would be a call to ignore a democratically elected administration, but this illusion of a country torn in half has long since been proven false. As seen in this post at the time of the recall referendum, the only place in the whole country with significant opposition majority is Santa Cruz, and then it's not even the region but the city we're talking about. It's like supposing a political spat between New York and the USA means "A Country Torn in Half".

But never, mind, because media can bleat all they like; tomorrow Evo wins by legal, decent, honest and truthful democratic one-person-one-vote means. So screw the racist scumbags and the lapdog media they ride in on.

Wow, Buffalo

A mighty surprise this morning. Some dude at the Buffalo News called Newton Garver has written this note on Bolivia under Evo Morales, the US role in the destabilization plan of the half moon states, the eventual Morales victory and the state of play today.

Newton has obviously done plenty of homework on this, as it's pretty darned accurate (bar the mis-spelling of Oruro, but that's very easily forgiven) and really is a very good potted history of the country since Evo came to power. Refreshing to see some accurate journalism on Bolivia from the pen of a US citizen. Go have a read yourself...here's the link again.

Bees 1, Racists 0

In Bolivia this morning there's an event going on that that's sweetly symbolic. Plan 3,000 is the working class enclave that's home to many Evo supporters in otherwise hostile Santa Cruz. The people there are sick of the way white racist scum continue to try and lord it over them and so they're fighting back...with honey.

Eduardo Loayza is director of Radio Integración (yeah you got it, Radio Integration) and from 8am to 3pm today, November 30th 2008, anyone who turns up at the door of the radio station will be "vaccinated against racism" with a spoonful of honey. Here follows the words of Loayza, because his words are better than mine on this subject (translation; Otto guilty as charged):

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"(This is a) symbolic act that is also interesting and curious. For the first time there is a vaccination with a spoonful of honey against racism in Santa Cruz and it is taking place in Plan 3,000. This dosage will protect people from all racist discourse, from all violent attitudes, it will sweeten the soul and the spirit, the person will live longer and will respect others.

We have lived through very difficult times in September when institutions were violently assaulted. Every day the media brought us more violence. Messages charged with hate poison our families and our children, every day they poison the soul. We want to say "enough!" to all this. It is a rejection in a different way; not answering (violence with) violence, but trying to reply with sweetness. This is why we are going to use honey as the antidote to sweeten the spirit and soul of many people."

Each person will receive a certificate of vaccination that says, amongst other things, "vaccinate once a year. With this vaccine you will respect others and their opinions. You will obtain spiritual peace and live longer. With this vaccine you are protected from the "civics and unionists" (ottonote; main racist organizations in Santa Cruz) and from any racist or discriminatory discourse."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Otto sez: Eduardo Loayza totally but totally rules. Yay, yay and three times YAY for the dude. Make love not war.
