Do everything - Regret nothing

Opposition killed their own

Last time I wrote about Bolivia and the events taking place over there was 26/11-2007. I wrote about the three people that had been killed. Two civilians, a student and a lawyer, supporters of the opposition were killed. Rumours started to spread, the rumours told that the police or military had shot them to death. Therefore, the third person that was killed was a police, he was attacked by a mob who wouldn’t stop till they could take out a revenge on the two civilians that had died earlier on Saturday completely but lynching the police man, outside the military base where the elected representants of the constitutional assembly. On Sunday morning, the body of the police was found, barely recognizable. bigeyes The world is cruel, we have to face the truth! sad However, the vice president of Bolivia (Álvaro García Linera [picture]) was interviewed late on Sunday evening about the events where people had to die in Sucre, and he stated that he had overheard a conversation of “La Media Luna”, a movement in the eastern parts of Bolivia who want to create their own country (they are rich in natural resources and those involved in the movement are mostly foreigners from Yugoslavia and some Arabic countries), were they mentioned two people who had been killed by the police/military. But their conversation happened a couple of hours before the real event took place! yikes And it was revealed on Monday morning, the shots didn’t belong to the weapons used by the police nor military! It seems like the opposition decided to kill people of their own to blame it and it would not be the first time!

The opposition is claiming that Bolivia needs help from abroad since decisions shouldn’t be taken in military bases, but what can be done if the parliament is stopped by people who don’t want to admit the procedure of a democracy. confused

A new referendum will be held, to state whether the proposals made for exactly twoo weeks ago by 136 out were sane or something against the Bolivian benefits. This referendum was proposed by “La Media Luna” and Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia accepted their demands to show that democracy does exist in the country opposed to what the opposition claims. This unnecessary referendum will take place within 4 months, it can’t take place earlier since a lot of money needs to finance, an amount of around 50 million Bs (around 5 million dollars).

The opposition is also criticizing the decision of MAS to have the constitutional assembly in Chapare, Cochabamba. Before, when the assembly was moved to the military base, a leader of the opposition said that he would never send members of his party to that meeting since decisions had to be taken in a building with good reputation where independence was created. scared And now, when the assembly has been moved to another place with a wonderful nature, people of the opposition start to criticize. yikes

The most dangerous creatures are ticks. Polo-ticks are the worst.

Believing so much in the media is a bit dangerous as well whistle

Qlue: yep! smile

Ripp: I like Qlue's quote too! wink

Dannii: what are you implying? right

Mad Scientistqlue Saturday, December 8, 2007 9:47:42 PM

Dannii is merely trying to remind us that every newspaper or tv station exists for only one of two things. Either they are a commercial venture in which case they will publish whatever sells more copy, or they exist as a state entity with a biased agenda and publish whatever promotes there cause. They all claim to be unbiased observers but it would be naive to believe that. Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes. This is why I seldom quote from the media.

I'm not exactly quoating at the moment, but I admit...it's never good to believe in the media, not completely. Anyways, most of what I've written about has been told by my friends who live in Bolivia. I may not experiencing the events but I'm hearing about them very often! smile

Christopher DaSilvadannii Saturday, December 8, 2007 10:18:58 PM

LOL, no we might not quote from the media but some make an idea of things from the media, that is quite dangerous as well right

America is very proud of there first amendment, the right to free speach, but it's only through an open medium like the internet that it can trully be given a voice.

Christopher DaSilvadannii Sunday, December 9, 2007 2:28:57 AM

Ehm yeah, I think the first amendment is something to really be proud about happy http://www.nec.co.jp/community/en/tennis/images/usa_flag.gif -

Whaaaaattttt???? lol

First amendment of USA? Sure, it's something perfect! In the theory! bomb

We have something similar over here, and I definitely think that we are able to express our personal ideas, thoughts and believes more than in USA. Why do you want to embellish USA and their 'First amendment'?

Mad Scientistqlue Monday, December 10, 2007 5:03:43 PM

It's merely an example that everyone is aware of. The South African constitution also entrenches the rights to free speech, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of religion etc. But let's be honest, how many people outside of South Africa even know about the South African constitution? However, anyone who watches american movies and tv shows is reasonably well versed in both the 'first' amendment as well as the 'fifth' amendment. So I will now take the 'fifth' before I further incriminate myself.

Y como siempre esta noticia no pasa por CNN y así el resto de Latinoamérica tiene una imagen errada de lo que pasa realmente en Bolivia, pero como tú misma dijiste no se puede creer en todo lo que dicen los medios especialmente multinacionales manejados por grandes conglomerados de la derecha.

Saludos
