www.BooksAMillion.com![](../image-954348-3513514.gif) Narco News Commentary: Bolivian President Jorge Quiroga stepped off American Airlines Flight 628 at 7:31 p.m. last night at Washington�s Reagan National Airport for four days of meetings, including a scheduled session with President George W. Bush on Thursday, December 6th. Today he meets with the Organization of American States. Later, with DEA boss Asa Hutchinson, and high functionaries of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
He leaves behind a country completely destroyed by his own surrender of national sovereignty to the demands of the US government. As the Milenio Foundation reported this week, the US-imposed "zero coca" policy has already caused Bolivia annual losses of $655 million dollars and 59,000 jobs.
Last Thursday, transport workers paralyzed the country with a 24 hour blockade and strike, and threatened to escalate to a 48 hour strike soon, and then an indefinite national strike. The clock ticks on the deadline of early December posed by business leaders who are threatening, too, a national strike and boycott of federal taxes. Now, according to reports we translate today, other social sectors from the nation's doctors to even the rank-and-file police are threatening to join the blockades and strikes.
Tomorrow, the social sector that has been the spark of this chain of events, the 35,000 coca growing families of the Chapare region, will begin anew their campaign of highway blockades that have twice paralyzed the country. The Quiroga regime has sent 4,000 troops to try and keep the major highway unblocked. The regime's policy is reduced to its last refuge: Brute force.
The U.S. press has been silent throughout the tumult of recent weeks; the hard news is inconvenient, because it disproves years of propaganda stating that Bolivia is a "success story" in the US-imposed "war on drugs."
Even Washington Post columnist Marcela Sanchez, in a Friday puff piece about President Quiroga, chose to withhold the hard news of what is really happening in Bolivia from her readers. Tomorrow, Narco News will offer a detailed response to Sanchez's error-laden column, and we will detail an announcement that we make today:
ANNOUNCEMENT BY NARCO NEWS:
The United States press is not doing its job. US correspondents in Latin America remain mute before the social upheaval that has profound consequences for the war on drugs.
Thus, beginning this week, Narco News will launch a new project: "Live from the Andes." The newsroom is heading to South America, to break the information blockade and offer direct live reports at www.narconews.com on the immediate history shaking our Am�rica.
From somewhere in a country called Am�rica,
