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.

Myanmar army takes power in coup as Aung San Suu Kyi detained

Myanmar’s military has taken power in a coup and declared a state of emergency, hours after detaining Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior figures from the ruling party.

Phone and mobile internet services in the city of Yangon were down on Monday morning and military trucks, one carrying barbed-wire barriers, were parked outside City Hall. The state-run MRTV network said it had been unable to broadcast. Banks were closed across the nation.

Military television said the army had taken control of the country for one year, with power handed to the commander-in-chief, Gen Min Aung Hlaing. It said the army had detained senior government leaders in response to “fraud” during last year’s general election.

A statement attributed to Aung San Suu Kyi said the military was trying to reimpose a dictatorship. “I urge people not to accept this, to respond and wholeheartedly to protest against the coup by the military, the statement said.

The military’s actions brought swift condemnation from leaders and human rights experts around the world. ...
