peru is bigger than venezuela in population and has a shitload of mines. it's the sixth largest gold-producing country in the world. a lot of copper. what if he nationalizes the gold mines? they're thinking hell no, they don't want this guy getting into power

also the same coca farmer dynamics are at play as in bolivia in many areas

this poo poo is going to get out of control. the NED is gonna flood the zone, and his wikipedia entry (which i don't believe even existed a week ago) is now full of quotes from some georgetown university guy saying he's NOT a leftist and wants to beat women and other crap, so the progressive thing to do is vote for the mendaciously corrupt right-wing televangelist death squad party

lol you got it made if you got the CIA to already load your wikipedo page with lies.

I think Latin America is in many ways at the leading edge of this trend. Brazil is a notable exception though.

Just look at indigenous candidate Yaku Pérez in Ecuador, social-democrat interim president Juan Guaidó in Venezuela, or Bolivian environmental activist Jhanisse Vaca Daza.

https://kawsachunnews.com/president-arce-accused-of-discrimination-against-the-oligarchy posted:

Two lawmakers of Bolivia’s right-wing opposition are filing a lawsuit against President Luis Arce for ‘racism and discrimination’ due to a comment made by Arce at a campaign rally regarding the manner in which vaccines were being distributed and prioritized.

The comment was made at a MAS rally in the city of Tarija on April 8th, in which President Arce said, “There is a lot to coordinate, on economic matters, on health matters. We’ve just sent vaccines, for the people and for medical staff, not for rich families nor the oligarchy of Tarija! We’ll continue supporting the people of Tarija to resolve problems in healthcare.”

Healthcare workers and vulnerable groups continue to be prioritized at this early stage of the vaccine rollout, however, the two oppositionists say they consider the comments a form of ‘racism and discrimination’ against rich families and the oligarchy of Tarija.

Crazy how all the regimes that are pliant to US interests are also openly corrupt. And even though the US criticizes them, they never get pressure put on them that Venezuela and Cuba face.

Something I've been wondering is why does the state department bother manufacturing consent for foreign intervention, such as what we are going to be seeing about Castillo? It is not like public opinion is relevant for any Washington policy, the fraction of people in the US who cares about what happens in Latin America is not large enough to influence elections (other than pandering to the Gusano demographic in Miami, I guess?) and almost no one would even know what they are doing if they didn't have op-eds from Mengele-Eichman saying how important it is to support a coup or rat-fuckery in the Americas. It is not even relevant for the legitimacy of the foreign policy itself, as the politcally relevant characters often already have their minds set. Even as propaganda it is kind of dubious, because here in Brazil I only see the clearly devout parroting those points.

Is it like a vanity project? Another form of Wingnut Welfare? Did someone at the CIA figure out they could get paid to post?

Why don't you think public opinion is relevant? Yes there is an extremely bipartisan agreement that the interventionist foreign policy is great, but that didn't happen on its own, it's the result of decades of propaganda.

And it's the difference between a population that realizes they live in a fascist dictatorship vs a mostly compliant population. The fascists would very much prefer to create the latter.
