Seperatist far right students in Bolivia attack Police in ongoing disturbances.
Supporters of pro-capitalist and pro-US seperatism in Bolivia have attacked the police headquarters of Santa Cruz province within days of a referendum which gave resounding support to the government of Evo Morales and his vice president García Linera.

According to reports from TeleSur TV, Garcia Linera has spoken of precise information that such attacks have been planned for the next week in Santa Cruz province and have been orchestrated by the defeated opposition who are using the youth group "Unión Juvenil Cruceñista" and some students from the University of Gabriel René Moreno.

Post Climate Camp Legal Call Out

16-08-2008 10:44

The climate camp was in many respects a remarkable watershed in the policing of mass public protest. Even under the spotlight of the mainstream media, police abuse of power was overt and unwavering. The unlawful indiscriminate searches along with seizure of personal property unrelated to any crime, actual or potential, should not go uncontested...

"President Bush, Will You Please Shut Up?"

"From Tbilisi to Teheran" Heightens Suspicions of Motive in Georgian Crisis

Since the attacks by Georgia which sparked the fighting (which, alone, suggests Georgia had been promised the support of a larger power) took place on the day that the last two US carrier groups started for the Strait of Hormuz, it would appear that one motive (besides the pipelines from the Caspian which rival the new ones the US built in Afghanistan) appears to be tying up and/or demonizing Russia, in order to minimize its response to US/Israeli Aggression towards Iran.

The following article from the Jerusalem Post appears to support this, as does the US/Israeli line seen today, as well as the willingness of the bulk of the Western press to so horribly misrepresent this conflict.
