Bolivia boil-over & Hong Kong bedlam

The big Picture bolivia

Holland Cooke welcomes activist, author and professor Jeb Sprague to talk about the political turmoil enveloping Bolivia, where a military coup has replaced the democratically elected Evo Morales with interim president Jeanine Chavez, to the dismay of thousands of citizens who have put themselves in harm’s way protesting in city streets. Sprague likens this military-based activism to the Chilean coup, referring to soldiers now sweeping Bolivia as “mini Pinochets” who have been trained in violent tactics at the infamous School of the Americas.
