I denounce to the world and the Bolivian people that a police officer publicly announced that he is instructed to execute an illegal arrest warrant against me; likewise, violent groups assaulted my home. The coup destroys the rule of law.

"My sin is to be indigenous, union leader, coca grower," said Evo Morales, at the end of his "thirteen years, nine months and 18 days" in power since he took office on January 22, 2006.

Why was Evo Morales overthrown? He was nationalizing the highly profitable lithium industry and planning to deal directly on the international market rather than exporting the commodity at bargain prices to Western corporations

Hindu nationalism: India’s Soundtrack of Hate, With a Pop Sheen
http://archive.is/BRscq
LAXMI DUBEY

Bollywood clips to dance beats — with added lyrics that in some cases openly call for the slaughter of nonbelievers, forced conversions, or attacks on Pakistan. The songs are amassing huge numbers of views on YouTube — Dubey’s most popular song has more than 50 million on its own. Most of the songs prominently feature the call of “Jai Shri Ram!” Meaning “Hail Lord Ram,” a major Hindu god, it has become the battle cry for Hindu nationalists. Mobs have attacked Muslims who refuse to chant it along with them. In her songs, Ms. Dubey exhorts Hindus to “perform ceremonies with bullets,” “fight proudly against ungodly religions” and “cut off the tongues of enemies who talk against Ram.”

Her performances draw thousands of people. One show in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, was marketed as a jagrata, an all-night vigil dedicated to deities.
For a couple of hours, she sang about the goddess Durga. Performers dressed as Hindu gods twirled a giant gold trident and lit torches.
Ms. Dubey transitioned to one of her most popular songs, “Every House Will Be Saffron,” a YouTube juggernaut that has inspired covers sung by children. During interludes, the singer promised to target those “living in Kashmir, exploding things” and to “spill blood in mother’s holy court.”
The song’s tempo picked up. Clusters of men rose and danced. Ms. Dubey drew her arm back and let go of an imaginary arrow.
“People who don saffron will rule!” she screamed. “Only one slogan, only one name: Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram!”

Tory stitch up. Zero chance Corbyn will win the election now to have a chance of implementing more reasonable foreign policy. No Brexit either
- Conservatives are sticking with Boris' Brexit in name only deal, and even then it's said the transition of leaving the EU structure could take until 2022 and therefore it could be stopped entirely before that time expires. So it's worst of all worlds.

Let us be very clear in our words. Evo is nothing but the democratically-elected president. What we’ve just witnessed is nothing but a coup. The forces now looting Bolivia & attacking the poor are not protestors, but armed terrorists. A fascist takeover in broad daylight. https://t.co/Q8o8WtGj70
