If you need to convince someone of this who believes immigrants are evil and stealing jobs, tell them that closed borders are why so many Mexicans move here. Before borders were strictly enforced, seasonal workers would come up to America to do stuff like harvesting crops, and would then go home once the season was over.

This is in fact something that used to happen, and it neatly avoids mentioning how the CIA systematically destabilized Central and South America and all the fallout from that.

(Btw, check out the School of the Americas on a public computer if you want to learn just how deep that rabbit hole goes! But watch out; if you start talking about it in public in America people think you're crazy. Like every other awful thing the CIA has admitted to doing.)

my personal argument for open borders is really simple it just boils down to "i believe restricting human movement and barring certain people from certain places on this earth is a human rights violation"

I am called soul reaper by everyone at WHINSEC because my stepdad heard my basic training callsign and loved it.

I’m a medic, so it’s a little bit ironic.

The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), formerly known as the School of the Americas,[2] is a United States Department of Defense school located at Fort Moore in Columbus, Georgia, renamed in the 2001 National Defense Authorization Act.

The institute was founded in 1946; by 2000, more than 60,000 Latin American military, law enforcement, and security personnel had attended the school. The school was located in the Panama Canal Zone until its expulsion in 1984.

The United States played a key role in the military coup in Bolivia, and in a direct way that has scarcely been acknowledged in accounts of the events that forced the country’s elected president, Evo Morales, to resign on November 10.

Commanders of Bolivia’s military and police helped plot the coup and guaranteed its success. They were previously educated for insurrection in the US government’s notorious School of the Americas and FBI training programs.

[tomsecker]

For anyone who doesn't know, WHINSEC is the infamous US govt terrorist training school formerly known as the School of the Americas. This documentary was rejected for DOD support for blatantly political reasons, even though it's obvious and indisputable that the Patriot Act has been and is being used to stifle dissent and remove civil liberties. #whinsec #schooloftheamericas #DOD #CIA #latinamerica #patriotact https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Le1TaJkH_/?igshid=199cf1ixqgx2z

The U.S. played a key role in the military coup in Bolivia, and in a direct way that has scarcely been acknowledged in accounts of the events that forced the country's elected president, Evo Morales, to resign on November 10.... At least six of the key coup plotters were former alumni of the infamous School of the Americas, while [commander of Bolivia's armed forces Williams] Kaliman and another figure served in the past as Bolivia's military and police attachés in Washington.... As this investigation will establish, the coup plot could not have succeeded without the enthusiastic approval of the country's military and police commanders. And their consent was influenced heavily by the US, where so many were groomed and educated for insurrection. Leaked audio reported on Bolivian news website la época (and by elperiodicocr.com and a range of national media outlets) reveals that covert coordination took place between current and former Bolivian police, military, and opposition leaders in bringing about the coup.... In the recently leaked audio recordings, coup plotters discuss plans to set ablaze government buildings, get pro-business unions in the country to carry out strikes, as well as other tactics – all straight out of the CIA playbook. Also alluded to in the leaked audio is that the coup attempt would be supported by various evangelical groups as well as by Colombian President Iván Duque, ex-Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, and most notably Brazil's neo-fascist President Jair Bolsonaro. The plotters also mention the strong support of ultra-right U.S. senators Bob Menéndez, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, who is said to have the ear of U.S. President Donald Trump when it comes to U.S. foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere.

from what i understand (i'm not an expert):

prussian/german influence of armies, proto-facism germ.

(chile first and the most, but not the only country)

these armies welcomed fascist ideas with open arms from their teachers the following decades, until the countries aligned with the allies.

(these armies did golpes de estado later on, cold war context. could be argued some could've been already fascistic... apparently klaus barbie cooperated with la escuela de las américas, the WHINSEC made by usa)

barbie that was just one of many nazis hiding in sudamerica thank to the ratlines...

coup in bolivia.

not only that, but surprise surprise (not to anyone), USA is involved, once again, in staging a   right wing coup in a country of América Latina.  this has happened before, this is NOT NEW.

did Evo Morales resign? he was forced to. when the army “suggests”, it isn’t a suggestion. 

after the 78k fraud, the OEA (organism that we should remark has remained quiet upon the rise of a fascist like Bolsonaro in Brazil and hasn’t asked for Piñera’s resignation in Chile but oh goody, a sindicalist, indigenous president in a country that doesn’t allow the stablishment in is suddenly intervened), from USA and biased, intervened and Evo allowed for a recount of the votes, making it so that the results would be binding.

he called again for elections. and hours later, a right-wing group of religious fundamentalists “suggested” that Evo should resign.

let’s take a bite out of any Latinamerican history book: what happens when there’s strong socialist/socialist-like governments in América Latina for long periods of time? USA intervenes. Condor Plan (1970 dictatorships), the (WHINSEC-dependant) Army School of the Americas (1946, created by the USA in Panamá, the SOA called for every middle-range of latin armies to be instructed in the annihilation of the “inner enemy”, which at that point was the advance of communist and socialist tendencies), to mention a couple.

we know that when the army gets involved in politics, they are easy to take the power because, well, guns and force. it’s not a decision made by the president, then, to resign, but an open threat that forces him to leave. previously, senators of the MAS (the Morales party in Bolivia) had been attacked, the intendent of Cochabamba (also from MAS party) was kidnapped by extremists of the right wing, they cut her hair and threw red paint on her (VIDEO HERE). the extremists that now have effectively exhorted the coup had done attempts to burn Evo Morales’ house down.

That is not a “suggestion” to resign presidency, that’s a threat.

Bolivia, a Plurinational Country.

Bolivia is constituted as a plurinational country, sovereign and de-centralized. as far as i know, and as far as i’ve found of information, in 2006 there’s a constituent assembly and the new Constitution, the Plurinational Constitution is approved. This, for indigenous people (in which we can count the aimara, quechua and guaraní), was an unprecedent thing: they had representation, their costumes and cultures, which make up most of the population of the country, were seen and recognized by the constitution.

To this point, we can’t forget the history of colonization of South America isn’t the history of colonization of North America: Here, the spanish used brute force, genocide, they did not bring in the amounts of slaves that the yanquis did (because spaniards and “the bible isn’t ok with slavery” half-assed shit), so they used to natives, especially in the mines.

To have recognition, after 500yrs of erasure, colonialism and neo-colonialism, is huge, and has angered the religious fundamentalists in Bolivia, and Evo Morales’ social politics have angered the USA, and Bolivia has natural resources and, well, let’s look at Venezuela, because Venezuela has petroleum.

As Bolivia constituted a plurinational country, the WIPHALA, the flag and symbol utilized by some of the communities of the Cordillera de los Andes, became a symbol for the country. Let’s think representation.

Evo Morales, a proletariat, sindicalist, indigenous president, not allowing the nasty yanquis into the economy and taking populist (social welfare) measures, giving voice to the once-erased native communities, giving them dignity and possibility of ascending in the social scale. Populism has a long run in América Latina. I’m personally not a fan, but i am not a fucking asshole.

Who are the ones doing this coup?

Evangelist groups that have stated that “Pachamama is out, we anwer to Christ”, the right-wing, primarily the cops and now the army too. 

Camacho, the prime face of this coup, has gas business that weren’t being fruituous due to Morales’ control of the economy. William Kaliman, leader of the Bolivian Army, was formed by the SOA. Recently, it has leaked that USA has hands in it. This was anticipated by Morales himself.

The Wiphala has been removed from the govt house, replaced by a bible. Wiphalas are being burned by religious fanatics that support the inconstitutional regime, cops are cutting them out of their uniforms, and people respond to the burn of their symbol: La Wiphala se respeta, carajo.

Jeanine Áñez, an evangelist senator, has declared herself “Constitutional President of Bolivia”, without enough quórum (the MAS representatives of parliament, who have majority, couldn’t come in), the presidential band was placed on her by a dude from the army. She demanded the army take an active role in repressing the manifestations against the coup, calling the army traitors for (initially under Kaliman’s leadership) refusing to take part. Kaliman has “resigned” two days ago.

The MAS representatives weren’t allowed entrance to the Senate and violently handled by the “security” forces.

This is a civic-military coup d’êtat.

The fundamentalists are now trying to implement a mediatic wall and isolate the country, they’ve already murdered people that have been protesting, they’re burning long-distance transports, they’re forcing international news reporters to quit reporting, and the return of said reporters isn’t granted either.

Meanwhile, international media is biased between two stories: this is/isn’t a coup. So let’s be clear: when the army “suggests”, they’re never suggesting. When USA is involved, it’s for economic reasons, it’s for resources, it’s for exploiting us as they have always, historically done. When the Church is involved, they’re accomplices. The media that doesn’t call this as what it is, a coup staged by the empire and the right-wing, is also an accomplice. The media that portrays the protesteres as “violent” and “deviating the purpose of protests” are also accomplices. The media that talk about the actions of the protesters and not the extreme violence exhorted by the oppressors, are accomplices. The media that don’t talk about this, are accomplices.

We need to talk about this, with the right information, we can’t let this happen. We can’t let a coup settle in power. We need to understand, without a “nationalist” blindness, the roles that are being played here, the pattern of behavior, the brute violence of the oppressors.

Globalization and technology makes it so it’s easy to get information and to viralize things. We need to viralize the violence, we need to not stop talking about the coup in Bolivia.

History has already told us how this goes.

[lairofsentinel]

i'm looking at the stuff you're showing about chile and tbh. i just. why are cops always on the side of the government, and never on the side of the very fucking people they're supposed to protect and whose money is used to pay them. why do they always beat up people. why are they like that in pretty much every single protest ever every fucking where. literally why. (tho yours are especially fucking bad, they sure as hell are using the fact that it won't get as much reporting or punishments)

In a oversimplified way to answer this: because the system allows the accumulation of power and resources of a small group [rich people, bourgeoisie, corporations, external interests, pick the one you want, in all cases, all of them are part of the 90% of the political system/parliament/executive power of the country, so this idea of democracy has always been a lie] and they are  protected by their "dogs" [cops, military shit, soldier crap]. Those dogs are also poor people who are paid to beat, kill, and rape other poor people in order to protect the group with accumulated power/resources.

This show of power is Shock Doctrine in its finest. This is all about keeping the masses filled with fear and paralysed [after all, poor people are a LOT more massive than rich groups and could seize a whole country with a massive coordination of disobedience]. Powerful groups know this. And they FEAR this. This is why they use a lot of money in security that reinforces all types of fears and fear to retributions.Of course, their first step is propaganda.

First, they want you to convince you with capitalist propaganda that this is the ONLY system which gives you happiness if you work hard enough, and "freedom" and "peace" and a lot of crap so you focus on it. You keep breaking your bones with three or more jobs so you can “reach” happiness, eventually, since you are working hard like hell. This system also reinforces the individuality, the self-made man [you need to behead everyone to be successful, no matter the cost] and tries to isolate you [this is why the system hates unions and cooperatives or any action that means empathy and cooperation with others].

A lot of poor people share this idea and defend it. This is explained in a sentence by Simon de  Beauvoir: “the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed themselves”. That's why they want to engrave such propaganda in everyone, it guarantees “social peace” at the expense of many many social groups under terrible living conditions. However, things can't be endured forever, and they explode. And when that happens, you need to install fear in the masses, in order to paralyse them and make them betray each other [Shock Doctrine again. Remember this doctrine was crafted in Canada and USA around the 50-60's and applied, first, in Birmania, aka Vietnam with the terrible war there, and later in South America under the several dictatorships in the region.]

Latinoamerica never liked neoliberalism. This is why the Plan Condor was applied all over the region: to force the neoliberalism in all of its countries. Chile could return to "democracy" with a neoliberal system around 1990 [check dates, I'm rounding everything]. Chile was a social-democracy before their dictatorship, so you can see why it was needed a dictatorship with gringo puppeteers that wanted to destroy “the red”.[A lot of people will say it was communist or some other bullshit... “opinions” go wild here depending of how much History you read].

During the terrorism of State [please, don't call it dirty war – a terrible translation used in books of History written in English, NOT by chance--, it was never 2 armed sides in a battlefield, it was the state [army] massacring and torturing its population], the level of torture and the torture systems used and the dire perversion in it that our parents suffered is something that I CANNOT explain [not because I dont know, I read a lot of heavy stuff related to it, and I tell you, it's impossible to speak these things without feeling your humanity breaking into pieces]. It's because it's too horrible for someone who is not asking details. If you read Shock Doctrine from Naomi Klein, she narrates the slightest versions of it. If you want to know about it from raw material, check just one page of the book Nunca más (Never Again), a report of how the Gov. went savage against their own people. Chile, Brasil and Argentina have a book of this type narrating the atrocities that each dictatorship did on their people, since in those countries it was where the dictatorship was more brutal.

What these pacos [these military shit] is doing is just reopening the fear of all that [as you can imagine, this is more than simple fear. It’s terror.]. Our parents are the traumatised one, and all of them are feeling the looming threat that it was supposed to be closed by now. There is a deep deep scar in South America social memory on this matter. and they are using it to spread fear, and also, to revive the old methods of torture that latinoamerican millenials only read [after all, our parents were the one who lived those shitty times].

Police and military never were supposed to "protect" people in south america. They are sustained by the gov. to repress people. They are the tool for the foreign interests and the bourgeoisie to control the massive poor people. I want to make this clear: they never were meant to defend people. Like gringo army was never meant to “defend” democracies elsewhere.

Military here [in Chile, in Brasil, in Argentina] were instructed in the 70′s in the School of Americas, a fucked up gringo military school where they learnt all the torture system that they used back then [they kept using it in Afghanistan and in Guantanamo, so it’s not “ancient history”].  It's not by chance that Chile had been sending military in the last 5 or 8 years to the SCHOOL OF AMERICAS again! [now under the fancy fucked up name of The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) . They are supposed to “teach” our army to “defend democracy and life and freedom” and all that shit. You can see it. Lol. No latinoamerican will believe that shit that says wikipedia about them.

So, you can see the context. Military and cops never were meant to protect people. They have never been trained for that. They are meant to protect the bourgeoisie, the corporations, the big companies that are preying on Chile, on its sea and mining resources, on its water, on its mountains.That’s why this phtoshop is so on spot:

Tell a latino that cops protects them... they will laugh [if they are adult enough to understand the dark layers of our History]

[by the way, just to clarify, I'm not from Chile, but the country beside them: Argentina. Still, everything that's happening in Chile is touching a LOT this side too because both countries share the same scars with the same level of dehumanisation [and to be honest, this country has been boiling shit for a long time and it's just a matter of time to explode too]. I'm just trying to spread the word of my Chilean fellows. And considering how their media blockage is working, I'm afraid many people around the world are receiving a gov. version of the disaster happening there. Something that also happened during the dictatorship times, and before anything, I defend human rights. And what's happening there is a total massive violation of the human rights, and opening festering wounds that are hitting us all.]
