The U.S. government does not stop in its continuous high-profile campaigns against Bolivia, utilizing as its instruments this Andean nation's fractional and weak opposition and the various right-wing media groups that act as political parties.

In the last couple of hours, by means of its diplomatic seat in La Paz, the Washington regime evidently instructed its national mercenaries to run the rumor that the White House will freeze foreign relations with President Evo Morales’s government for five years.

The daily right-wing newspaper El Diario initially spread the news over the supposed intention of the North American administration. By the way, it did so once the Bolivian authorities told the newspaper that it could be embargoed if it did not pay the taxes it owes to the treasury, almost $190 million.

Many mediocre opposition voices immediately joined in the new crusade orchestrated against Bolivia. These echoed El Diario’s report, and their speculations went even further, prognosticating that Washington's eventual decision would isolate the executive Morales from the world, as if the United States were the universe.

The objective of this clucking by adversaries to the process of change underway in this South American country is to build worry among the population and those who still see the U.S. regime as their master after many long years of imperialist dominion by way of submissive and neoliberal governments.

However, nothing could be further from the truth than the information and rumors launched in La Paz regarding Washington's supposed freezing of its ties with Bolivia.

It is well known in this capital that for months the Obama administration has been trying, almost begging, for the executive Morales to grant his blessing to America's designated ambassador to this Latin American country, something which it has not obtained yet.

On the other hand, it is known that its withdrawal would limit the subversive actions of the United States in Bolivia and, at the same time, its public objective to try to overthrow from power the current president in the 2014 elections for his clear anti-imperialist conduct and acceptance of a greater Latin American integration.

The U.S. regime is not so dumb as to retreat from a country with immense natural resources and a prosperous economic future, as well as a geopolitical situation that is vital to its destabilization plans in Latin America.

The murmur created by Washington is just that, and if we talk about freezing foreign relations, Bolivia is the one to put the U.S. in the freezer for its conspiratorial and meddling conduct.


El gobierno de Estados Unidos no para en sus continuas campañas mediáticas contra Bolivia, para las cuales utiliza como instrumentos a la fraccionada y debilitada oposición de esta nación andina, y varios medios de prensa derechistas que actúan como partidos políticos.

En las últimas horas el régimen de Washington a través de su sede diplomática en La Paz instruyó evidentemente a sus mercenarios nacionales correr el rumor de que la Casa Blanca congelaría por cinco años las relaciones con el gobierno del presidente Evo Morales.

Las noticias sobre la supuesta intención de la administración norteamericana fueron difundidas inicialmente por el cotidiano derechista El Diario, el cual, por cierto, lo hizo luego que las autoridades bolivianas le anunciaron a ese medio que podría ser embargado si no paga los impuestos que debe al fisco, cuya suma asciende a casi 190 millones de dólares.

A la nueva cruzada orquestada contra Bolivia se sumaron inmediatamente varias voces mediocres de la oposición, las cuales se hicieron eco del reporte de El Diario, y sus especulaciones fueron incluso más lejos, al pronosticar que la eventual determinación de Washington aislaría al ejecutivo de Morales, del mundo, como si Estados Unidos fuera el Universo.

El objetivo del cacareo de los adversarios del proceso de Cambio en curso en este Estado sudamericano es crear preocupación en la población, y en aquellos que aun ven al régimen norteamericano como su amo, luego de prolongados años aquí de dominio imperialista a través de gobiernos entreguistas y neoliberales.

Pero nada está más alejado de la verdad que las informaciones y rumores lanzados en La Paz acerca de un supuesto congelamiento por Washington de sus nexos con Bolivia.

Bien conocido es en esta capital que la administración del mandatario Barack Obama lleva meses intentando, casi suplicando, que el ejecutivo de Morales le conceda el plácet a su designado embajador en esta nación latinoamericana, lo cual no ha conseguido hasta el momento.

De otro lado, es sabido que una retirada de Estados Unidos limitaría su accionar subversivo en Bolivia, y a su vez su público objetivo de tratar de destronar del poder en las venideras elecciones de 2014 al actual presidente, por su clara conducta antiimperialista y en favor de la integración de la Patria Grande.

Tampoco el régimen norteamericano es tan tonto de replegarse de un país con inmensos recursos naturales y un futuro económico próspero, además de una situación geopolítica que es vital para sus planes de desestabilización en Latinoamérica.

El murmullo engendrado por Washington, es solo eso, y si hablamos de congelamiento de relaciones, más bien es Bolivia la que ha puesto en la nevera a Estados Unidos por su conducta conspirativa e injerencista.
