in the form of young men who are carrying clubs wrapped with barbed wire which they use to attack indigenous people when they get the chance. They also pile into trucks occasionally and drive into their neighborhoods where they lay waste to as much as they can get by with each time.

Don't forget the ongoing femicide which has been terrorizing the lives of indigenous women from the tip of Chile, throughout the Americas, all the way to Alaska. There is that! Very, very few people are ever arrested for these atrocities.

















Branco Marinkovic, whose fascist parents moved to Bolivia right after WWII, is a mega-powerful wealthy political man in Santa Cruz who organized this "Youth Union" group which works like Hitler's Youth group, and terrorizes relentlessly the native population.

Please take time to scan his Wikipedia, you'll see he is without a doubt beloved by the US right-wing's worst monsters:

Branko Marinković

Branko Goran Marinković Jovičević[1] (born 21 August 1967) is a Bolivian electrochemical engineer, economist, businessman, and politician who served as the Minister of Development Planning and Minister of Economy and Public Finance during the interim presidency of Jeanine Áñez.

Branko Goran Marinković Jovičević was born on 21 August 1967 in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. He is the son of a Croatian[2][3][4][5][6] father and Montenegrin[6] mother emigrated to Bolivia from Yugoslavia in 1954. Marinković also holds Croatian passport.[7]

He studied electromechanical engineering and economics and finance at the University of Texas in the United States. Marinković is important in the Oilseeds Industry in Bolivia since 2000 and is president of the Federation of Private Entrepreneurs since 2004 and vice chairman of Banco Económico.

He was elected President of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee in 2007.[8]

Marinković was an opponent of President Evo Morales.[9]

In the documentary, Who is Branko Marinković , which aired on Bolivian national television, Marinković was depicted as pro-Ustaše, although his father reportedly was as a member of the Partisans.[10] In that same documentary, Marinković is shown as a citizen of Croatia.[7]

In December 2010, Bolivia's prosecutor had filed charges against 39 people, including Marinković, for 2009 alleged plot aimed at killing Evo Morales and starting an armed rebellion. Marinković, and other leading opposition leaders argued that in no way were they are associated with the plot. Marinković was forced into exile in Brazil while fearing for his life. He claimed his innocence and has said the following: "The Bolivian government pursues me and forced me to live outside my beloved Bolivia, because in Bolivia my life would be threatened. I have no guarantees that I would be allowed a fair trial."[3]

The congenitally criminally insane fascists and total racists in the Americas have always been protected, advanced, supported financially, materially, politically, militarily by their allies in the US right-wing, from the very FIRST.

Thank you, niyad.
