Disinfo: US controls Latin American countries by organising coups

Summary

The US controls “disobedient countries” in Latin America by organising coups, bribing corrupt politicians and financing pro-American-leaning opposition groups. The Bolivian Revolution is very similar in character to the Ukrainian “Orange Revolution” and “Euromaidan” and it is clear that the US is behind it as the main creator of colour revolutions.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. No evidence is provided to support the claim. This is part of a disinformation narrative about US-led regime change operations against left-wing governments in Latin America. You can see other examples of this narrative in the EUvsdisinfo database, such as the alleged presence of a US marine in the Venezuelan barricades and the promotion of a Ukraine-style 'colour revolution', the training of Venezuelan exiles in Guyana for military operations inside the country, preparations for a military intervention after forcing Brazil to join NATO, deliberate blackouts in South America caused by the US, or the existence of plans for the secession of oil-rich regions in both Venezuela and Mexico. This narrative also falls within the broader pro-Kremlin disinformation efforts attempting to deny the existence of genuine grass-root protests, portraying them as foreign-led efforts and fake colour revolutions.

US wants to provoke new religious wars in the world

The idea of ​​the United States is to begin an era of religious conflicts and sectarian wars. Because religious wars are the most severe, uncompromising and even the bloodiest, Washington will use the economic factor. For example, programmes to help “favourite” representatives of religious denominations. The plan is humanitarian assistance to countries, but the US can expand these programmes to include military support.

Disproof

A conspiracy theory presented without any evidence and a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western attempts to instigate colour revolutions and wars in the world. See here for the most common pro-Kremlin narratives. USAID announced in September new financial assistance to support ethnic and religious minorities displaced by the genocide perpetrated by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Beneficiaries will include displaced people who are living in camps and non-camp locations in Northern Iraq, as well as disadvantaged members of host communities. The activity will fund two stationary clinics and one mobile medical team. There is no evidence to support the claim that humanitarian aid will be followed by military support. See similar cases on how Washington uses religious sects for destructive purposes, attacks Eastern Orthodox Churches to create instability in Europe and plays the “religion card” against societies.

Washington stages coups attempts against leftist leaders of Latin America

The two main [Bolivian] opposition figures Mesa and Camacho are a sort of marriage of business and fascism to pursue pure capitalistic interest, simply because the Morales government was left-wing and rather socialist. This is typical for the entire region, as attempts against the Nicolas Maduro government in Venezuela are still on-going, for 9 months straight, but with limited, if any, success. On the photograph are all democratically elected South American leaders against whom there were coup attempts simply because they weren’t politically aligned with the Washington-led establishment and were left wing.

US Intelligence co-opted Bolivian security services

President Morales stood no chance of surviving the crisis from the get-go since US intelligence had already co-opted his security services, which likely passed on information about his officials’ families to the right-wing mobs and thus facilitated their de-facto hostage-taking as a form a blackmail against their civil servant relative.
