The US-backed regime of Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia has returned the country to a police state, with masked agents seizing the Attorney General and offices of 3 separate public prosecutors — likely to prevent the emergence of key evidence in a top-level government conspiracy to murder a witness to their international cocaine trafficking plot. The story burst into public view last month when Attorney General Roger Mariaca indicted presidential advisor Fernando Cerimedo (seen on the right posing with Donald Trump, Jr. below). A growing body of evidence indicates Cerimedo ordered a hit on his pregnant mistress after she discovered he was raking in millions by covering up hundreds of flights by cartel-linked planes smuggling cocaine from Bolivia’s Beni province. When he realized she might turn him in, Cerimedo messaged Bolivia’s anti-drug intelligence chief to inform him that his mistress had “sold us out.” “Either we eliminate her or we’re all fucked. Do you know anyone who can do the job?” Two minutes after the hit was carried out, Paz’s intelligence chief texted Cerimedo: “Brother, they just shot her.” Instead of pursuing Trump-tied Cerimedo for this horrifying crime, the US tried to turn the tables, banning Mariaca from the US and claiming it was *actually* the Bolivian AG who was “soliciting and accepting bribes to facilitate narcotrafficking and helped violent criminals evade justice.” Now, Mariaca has been disappeared, and public prosecutors who may have evidence of the regime’s crimes are being targeted across the country. Thanks to regime’s ongoing state of exception, “unauthorized” non-family gatherings are illegal, so anyone protesting this heinous miscarriage of justice is also subject to arrest. When Marco Rubio pledged to “transform the Western Hemisphere” last week, who knew this is what he meant?
