The spokesman for the US State Department, Vedant Patel, has described #Bolivia's interest in acquiring Iranian-made drones as worrying, after La Paz has assessed their use to control borders and thus combat smugglers and drug traffickers.

"Obviously this is concerning, and we are closely monitoring any efforts by #Iran to expand its influence in the Western Hemisphere. And we take seriously any efforts by other countries that are interested in deepening military partnerships with Iran or acquiring unmanned aerial vehicles." Iranian crews," Patel declared sanctions by the US authorities," the spokesman added.

The 'Nobodies' Interviews Peruvian Women in Struggle

"The strength for the struggle emanates from Mother Earth. No one has the right to take away what belongs to us," Martha Mamani Huacca said.

On Thursday, "The Nobodies" (Los Nadies), a TV show hosted by teleSUR President Patricia Villegas, interviewed Martha Mamani Huacca.

She is one of the millions of anonymous women who have participated in the protests that erupted in Peru since December 2022 when the Congress ousted President Pedro #Castillo, a humble rural teacher who remains imprisoned and accused of attempting a coup d'état.

Demonizing Pedro Castillo, the man who wanted to end the neo-liberal death grip on Peru and the disastrous policies punishing the poor to please the corporations and the wealthy.

The level of garbage posted by Americans (mostly from so called Liberals) calling the actions of the (now) former president of #Peru, Pedro Castillo as a coup attempt when in reality what he was trying to do was to call for a national assembly to rewrite the constitution and promote social and economical reforms to help the impoverished citizens who fell victim of the conservative and neo-liberal policies of the previous leaders.

The comparison of #Castillo with the Extreme right wing group in Germany and Trump is truly sickening and is a sad example of ignorance of those who just click and share memes and nonsense they see on social media without even understanding what the story was about.

The parliament's sham #impeachment, followed by the rapid deployment of military and the police to capture and imprison him is just another example of the #CIA backed operation in south America that we have seen so many times before, the last one just a few years ago in #Bolivia (with the funding and help of #ElonMusk) and attempted coup against #Venezuela.

The coup will follow the exact footprints of previous scenario, there will be quick changes in taxes and funding and government contracts, followed by privatization, foreign contracts and other lucrative deals to right wing members of the #parliament, their families and friends.

Of course the whole thing will have the blessing and backing of the united state that will use this as the example of the triumph of #democracy with the cheering noise from the gullible people in the #US and #Europe.
