One of USAID plans, as they tried in Venezuela in 2018, is for the opposition to boycott the election since they know they will lose, then call it illegitimate and create a political and economic crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The real goal is not a democracy but domination so US transnational corporations can profit from the second poorest country in the hemisphere by putting in place a <span>neoliberal economy to privatize public services, cut social services, and purge all traces of the Sandinistas.

The opposition <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/nicaraguan-opposition-misrepresents-government-response-to-covid-19\/\">misrepresents the government\u2019s response<\/a> and puts forward <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/us-led-nicaraguan-opposition-inflates-covid19-death-lists\/\">false death statistics<\/a> in an attempt <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/nicaragua-us-backed-opposition-exploits-pandemic-to-create-chaos\/\">to create chaos<\/a>. <span>As <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/us-launches-brazen-interventionist-plan-to-overthrow-the-fsln\/\">Wiston L\u00f3pez points out,<\/a> \u201c<\/span><span>Since March the US-directed opposition has focused 95% of their actions on attempting to discredit Nicaragua\u2019s prevention, contention, and Covid treatment.

Nicaragua has been building its health system for the last 12 years and took rapid action to prepare for the virus. Nicaragua did not impose a lock down because it is a poor country where 80 percent of people are in the informal economy and 40 percent live in rural areas. People must work in order to eat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tortillaconsal.com\/tortilla\/node\/9944\">Stephen Sefton<\/a> puts the failure of the United States so far in context. At its root, the US does not understand the people of Nicaragua, their history of fighting US domination, and their ability to overcome right-wing puppets. It also misunderstands what the Sandinista government is doing to better the lives of the people in every sector of the economy. Sefton concludes, \u201c<span>The US government has failed notoriously to meet the needs of its own people during the current pandemic but can still find money to try and destroy a small country whose success makes US social, economic and environmental policy look arbitrary, negligent and criminal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_152769\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"32\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewworldorder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/era-of-us-domination-of-latin-america-coming-to-an-end-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-152769\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jewworldorder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/era-of-us-domination-of-latin-america-coming-to-an-end-1.jpg\" alt width=\"620\" height=\"372\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicolas Maduro kicks out Donald Trump. Photo by Ben Norton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Venezuela: Bipartisan Failed Regime Change<\/h3>\n<p>Ever since the 1998 election of Hugo Chavez, successive US administrations have tried and failed to dominate Venezuela. The bipartisan nature of this policy was on display on August 4, when Elliot Abrams, the notorious coup-monger for multiple presidents, testified in Congress. Not a single Senator criticized the attempt to illegally overthrow a democratically-elected government.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for his inability to remove President Maduro from power. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) was most open about the coup attempt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telesurenglish.net\/news\/The-US-Is-Desperate-to-Provoke-Government-Change-in-Venezuela-20200805-0013.html\">describing it<\/a> as \u201c<span>a case study in diplomatic malpractice\u201d and claiming Trump botched a winning play in a comedy of errors that strengthened Maduro. After the hearing, Murphy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/497111-trump-ruined-venezuela-coup\/\">posted a series of Tweets admitting the coup<\/a> and how it could have been done better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A<\/span><span> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/go.ind.media\/e\/546932\/tatus-1290799892470923264-s-21\/gcppb1\/669583294?h=jffPoKYfq_PPseFC4-CrKXhCc85QKDwVdVuSvppJpJM\">clip<\/a><span> <\/span><span>from Murphy\u2019s embarrassing comments was shared widely including by the Venezuelan Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/go.ind.media\/e\/546932\/tatus-1291108784950124544-s-21\/gcppb3\/669583294?h=jffPoKYfq_PPseFC4-CrKXhCc85QKDwVdVuSvppJpJM\">Delcy Rodr\u00edguez <\/a>and Foreign Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/go.ind.media\/e\/546932\/tatus-1290829788383514624-s-21\/gcppb5\/669583294?h=jffPoKYfq_PPseFC4-CrKXhCc85QKDwVdVuSvppJpJM\">Jorge Arreaza<\/a>. When <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/how-the-us-failed-at-its-foreign-policy-toward-venezuela\/\">Vijay Prashad asked Arreaza his reaction,<\/a> he described the US openly admitting crimes and said the \u201cconfessions\u201d of Murphy, Gen. John Kelly, John Bolton, and Elliot Abrams \u201care priceless evidence for the complaint we raised at the International Criminal Court.\u201d<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elliot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telesurenglish.net\/news\/The-US-Is-Desperate-to-Provoke-Government-Change-in-Venezuela-20200805-0013.html\">Abrams testified that he would continue to work very hard<\/a> to remove Maduro hopefully by the end of the year. This echoed a <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/trump-tells-florida-crowd-something-will-happen-in-venezuela-soon\/\">statement by President Trump at SouthCom<\/a> headquarters in Florida. Sen. Murphy\u2019s comments are consistent with those made by Joe Biden who <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/venezolanosconbiden-and-magazuela-two-sides-of-the-same-coin\/\">says he would be more effective <\/a>at removing Maduro than Trump. Biden described Trump as soft on Maduro because he considered talking to him.<\/p>\n<p>Elliot Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/after-23-years-of-media-warfare-against-venezuela-us-says-it-will-start-a-media-war\/\">announced<\/a> the US will be starting a media war against Venezuela. The reality is the US has been conducting a media war against Venezuela for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Venezuela is <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/venezuela-moves-toward-elections-us-seeks-to-undermine-them\/\">moving ahead with elections for the National Assembly on December 6, 2020<\/a>. Unlike 2018, more parties are agreeing to participate <span>including the larger Democratic Action and Justice First parties, as well as<\/span> a new Communist Party alliance and the hard-right Popular Will party, which was US puppet Juan Guaid\u00f3\u2019s former party. There will be <span>105 political parties contesting for 277 National Assembly seats, 110 more than the current term. Venezuela uses a combination of majority winners and proportional representation. Venezuela also requires half the candidates to be female, and they use <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/on-the-technical-aspects-of-voting-venezuela-does-it-right\/\">electronic voting confirmed by paper ballots<\/a> with a public citizen audit on Election Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Juan Guaid\u00f3 and others allied with the United States said they would boycott the election. Guaid\u00f3 cannot risk running because he is likely to be defeated. The US is encouraging a boycott and then will claim the election was not legitimate as it did in the last presidential election. After December, Guaid\u00f3 will not hold any elected office making his fraudulent claim to the presidency even weaker.<\/p>\n<p>These events come after two major embarrassments for the US in Venezuela. <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/operation-gideon-shows-us-aggression-against-venezuela-is-not-about-human-rights\/\">Operation Gideon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/venezuela-foils-mercenary-incursion\/\">an attempt<\/a> by mercenaries to invade Venezuela was foiled on May 4, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/venezuela-more-mercenaries-arrested\/\">their arrests<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/venezuela-makes-fresh-arrests-as-opposition-splinters-over-failed-coup\/\">the arrests<\/a> of their co-conspirators.

The <span>self-proclaimed President Jeanine A\u00f1ez, a right-wing Christian, leads a de facto government involved in massacres, persecution and imprisonment of political leaders. It is destroying the social and economic model and achievements of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS Party) led by Morales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The OAS played a crucial role in the coup with their <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/oas-should-retract-its-press-release-on-bolivian-election\/\">false analysis of Morales\u2019 re-election<\/a>. The western media reported the false OAS analysis without criticism. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/studies-say-morales-won-fairly-un-latin-american-institutions-must-take-action-ex-un-official\/\">studies by MIT and the Center for Economic and Policy Analysis have shown<\/a> that Morales clearly won the election and should have remained in power. For months the <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/the-washington-post-must-answer-for-its-false-bolivia-coverage\/\">Washington Post<\/a> claimed Morales\u2019 re-election was a fraud, but finally, in March, it <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/months-after-supporting-a-deadly-coup-wapo-admits-bolivias-elections-were-clean\/\">acknowledged the election was legitimate<\/a>. Similarly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/nyt-acknowledges-coup-in-bolivia-while-shirking-blame-for-its-supporting-role\/\">New York Times<\/a> admitted in July that Morales won the election.<\/p>\n<p>Many have called this a lithium coup because the element is plentiful in Bolivia and critical for batteries. This was made evident when <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/we-will-coup-whoever-we-want\/\">Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, said on Twitter<\/a> \u201cWe will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.\u201d Tesla would benefit from cheap and plentiful lithium for electric car batteries.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivias-struggle-to-restore-democracy-after-oas-instigated-coup\/\">people of Bolivia are struggling<\/a> to restore democracy. The fraudulent report by the OAS led to a three-week conflict between right-wing Bolivians protesting alleged fraud and pro-government, mostly indigenous, demonstrators defending Morales. The military and police sided with the right-wing coup<span>. The coup government threatened legislators and their families while repressing the people. There were racist attacks against the majority Indigenous population and the Wiphala, the indigenous flag, was burned in the streets. When she took power, \u00c1\u00f1ez, surrounded by right-wing legislators, held up a large leather bible and declared, \u201cThe Bible has returned to the palace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The US recognized the coup government, similar to its recognition of the failed coup leader, Juan Guaid\u00f3 in Venezuela. <span>A\u00f1ez claimed she\u2019d be transitory until the next election, but <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivia-under-dictatorship-us-the-real-power\/\">at the direction of the US<\/a>, she is putting in place deep roots and has delayed elections. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The repression has galvanized the MAS party, as well as peasant unions and grassroots organizations who continue their <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivia-at-the-gates-of-an-electoral-and-political-military-coup-detat\/\">struggle to restore Bolivian democracy<\/a>. The pressure led to elections being scheduled. Initially, \u00c1\u00f1ez said she would not run but reversed herself and is now a candidate while she is<span> trying to outlaw the MAS party and its candidates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Elections were scheduled for May 3, but have been postponed twice allegedly due to the pandemic, but really because <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivias-ongoing-coup\/\">this is an ongoing coup<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is true that the <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivia-a-devastated-country\/\">COVID-19 pandemic is hitting Bolivia hard<\/a> with horror stories about people unable to get medical treatment. Immediately after the coup, the A\u00f1ez government expelled the Cuban doctors. The coup-government is unable to manage the health system. Corruption is rampant in the purchase of medical equipment. The health ministry has had three ministers during the crisis. The situation is dire with overcrowded hospitals, lack of basic supplies, and corpses in the streets and in their homes with nowhere to be buried. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The coup-government is using the virus to try to delay elections because <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivian-polls-show-socialist-candidate-to-win-elections-in-first-round\/\">polls show the MAS candidate<\/a>, Luis Arce, is far ahead and likely to win in the first round of elections with \u00c1\u00f1ez coming in a distant third. <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivia-anez-wants-to-jail-the-favored-candidate-in-the-coming-elections\/\">\u00c1\u00f1ez has sought to prosecute Arce<\/a> to keep him from running, so far unsuccessfully. On July 6, the Attorney General of Bolivia charged Evo Morales with terrorism and financing of terrorism from exile and is seeking preventive detention.<\/p>\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivians-take-to-the-streets-against-the-anez-government\/\">mid-July, thousands<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/popularresistance.org\/bolivians-reject-postponement-of-elections-with-massive-mobilizations\/\">Bolivians have been protesting<\/a> the postponement of elections<span>.

We know about the hard resistance of the peoples of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua. The struggle of our peoples is very important. The United States wants to divide us in order to plunder our natural resources. The peoples no longer accept domination and plunder. The United States is in decline, and yet it lashes out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The US is weakening as a global power and its failures in Latin America are both a symptom of this and are causing further decline. The US\u2019 violations of international law are obvious and are being challenged.
