I hope you understand that Benjamin/CodePink are FakeLeft. Benjamin used to work for USAID. She’s a spook.

We could very likely see another massacre here and battles in El Alto/Cochabamba. A week ago I was pleading with journalists and activists to get down here. Few answered the call. The people require coverage from the platforms available.

I understand but I’m not sure how more cameras and fake-Left infiltrators will change the situation. Who will come to the aid of the Bolivian Left? Morales fled the country (a mistake in my opinion). Look at the history of South America. No one intervened to depose Pinochet et al

Right now there are no cameras outside of La Paz. Media outlets aren't showering journos on Bolivia, still nearly no coverage. No foreigner should play any role in trying to help the people. Our sole role is to document what the Bolivian media is forbidden from showing.

Many logistical issues to having personnel here. Mass violations will take place & the world won't know til it's too late. When I'm gone, when these horrible Qatar-based outlets are gone, etc. I can only hope that Bolivian independent media can safely let us know what's going on

It took a massacre of 9 people in Sacaba to get the attention of journalists to head the department of Cochabamba. All journalists were sitting in their hotel rooms in La Paz. I'll provide what help I can to anyone willing to cover.

I understand the human toll involved. Our “awareness” of the situation will not “change” it. Bolivians, however, are aware since they’re living in it. The US via the CIA and its Bolivian assets will do its best to ensure any sort of resistance is tamed/neutralized.

There's no press freedom here. Bolivians are only aware of what they see first hand but aren't receiving reports from other areas, it's been completely restricted. Press think they'll be kidnapped/murdered. The people have told us: the role of reporting, documentation is crucial.
