would be in jail here. So he gets away with soliciting money to kill someone--an elected president, no less--not just a death threat, but also an assault on democracy and on the sovereignty of a people--because he happens to live here? (--as you have discovered, Judi, in Fairfax, VA.)
And then there are the 8,069 members. Have any of them contributed money? That would be another couple of felonies and a RICO conspiracy charge.
But beyond the issue of the facts as presented--and this is, after all, the Associated Pukes we are talking about--is the question of who might be behind Hony Pierola? IS he just a prankster, or a blowhard brownshirt, or a nut? Did someone put him up to this, and maybe pay him to do it, for their own nefarious reasons?
Think how this serves AP. Like Woodward and Bernstein, they're "on the case," those intrepid ahem journalists who have never met a lie about the South American left that they didn't like, or wouldn't print. Things are not going their way in South America; in fact they're going way, way the OTHER way, toward social justice, democracy and peace. So maybe they wanted this little prank, to give them a bit of a boost with the powers-that-now-be in South America, so Morales will forget all the crapola they spew about him, and give them an interview, so they can screw him over again.
They have been so bad, I would put nothing past them.
Or--a more Rumsfeldian twist--the Bushwhack coup in Bolivia in September didn't work. But that doesn't mean they won't try again--just maybe not directly out of U.S. embassy. Creating an atmosphere of death threats, instability and pending social chaos--a Rumsfeld specialty, and something that all these corpo/news organizations have stressed in articles about Bolivia (even though the opposite--social order--is what is really happening)--may be the motive, to be followed by other incidents that eventually create a drumbeat of mayhem, into which Rumsfeld or someone else can insert more brownshirts and death squads, maybe as we approach the election of president and other officials later in the year. Governments like to be quiet about death threats for this very reason--the death threat may be serious, and a quiet investigation the best method of tracking it down, but it also creates vibes in a society, can inspire unstable and violent people, and can shake the society's self-confidence. THIS death threat cannot be kept quiet. It's been put out there, and is making headlines. It overrides the Bolivian security forces and how they would likely handle a death threat. It has also occurred out of their venue (--although if Hony Pierola is a Bolivian citizen, he may be subject to deportation; if he is not, he could be prosecuted here, but I don't know if he would be--I would hope so). In any case, the IMPACT has been achieved, if that was the object: 8,069 people plus the site owner wanting Morales dead, and organizing to achieve it. People casually reading about this would get a small hit about mayhem and disorder connected to Bolivia and Morales. The drumbeat starts...
I wouldn't put it past Rumsfeld's private "Office of Special Plans" either.
I smell a rat.
