A few days ago, a document surfaced online. It was a leaked police memo outlining a joint operation between the Bolivian police and the United States military to capture former president Evo Morales and, according to multiple reports, massacre the villagers who stood in their way. The response from the Bolivian people was immediate and defiant. Indigenous rural communities surrounded Morales’ residence to protect him. Workers seized Chimoré airport near his home, blocking the runway to prevent American planes or helicopters from landing. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a people fighting for their lives and the Western media is barely whispering about it.

      Yeah wtf this would be world news ( just another on the pile of Trump’s terribleness but at least as bad as other recent events)

      Edit: there is definitely a ton of chaos there now, protests against the new president as their economy sucks and made use by the Iran war spiking fuel prices: Banks close branches in tense Bolivia, diplomats call for calm - https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/banks-close-branches-tense-bolivia-diplomats-call-calm-2026-05-19/

        News like USA getting our asses handed to us by Iran? Like how many aircraft were lost? Perhaps news like how we couped various states? News like how US sanctions starved Cuba and DPRK? Palestinian Genocide? The kind of news bought and paid for MSM never reports until people who live there or outside read actual news from local papers and keep posting videos, photos, articles (until states kill all the reporters like Israel does on behalf of the United States)?

        That kind of world news?

          Yes, that kind of news. I can’t tell if your tone is directed at me for wondering for more details or at the world?

            Funnily enough, I work an extremely physically punishing job, I posted the same Western link when I had a chance to see your slow-federating post. But if you read on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, you find all sorts of news articles from credible sites that aren’t in bed to carry the Western narrative. El País, mronline, Middle East Eye, and multiple others.

            Yes those are sites pieFED, Nazi.world, feds.it.works, Midwest.social censor. The news articles are solid, analyses detailed, annotated, and cogent, coherent, and verifiable.

      Maybe because you didn’t read the article, with videos inside.
