Bolivia's new president: Latin America's dream is US' nightmare
HR: As a survivor of the CIA's and Kissinger's holocaust of President Salvador Allende and the Chilean dream in their bloodbath coup, it's with fear and pride one reads about Morales and Bolivia in the text below; I am still after 40 years hoping for a humane development; without the usual US neocon's killing and plunder.* The greedy gringos: the Federal Reserve* banking establisment's ruthless robbers and the deadly spreading of their form of 'democracy' from the barrel of a gun must be stopped. - [http://tinyurl.com/5u98v] - They are malignantly dangerous, a global cancer very fast to be cured before it kills us all, those monsters of remorseless cruelty.

Evo Morales Sworn in as Bolivia's First Indigenous President, Hails Election as End of "Colonial and Neo-Liberal Era"
WORLD LEADERS FROM 11 NATIONS ATTENDED EVO MORALES' INAUGURATION
SUPPORT FOR MORALES STANDS AT 74 PERCENT
Monday, January 23rd, 2006 - In Bolivia, the country's first-ever indigenous president - Evo Morales - was sworn in on Sunday. He focused his nearly two-hour inaugural address on bringing justice to the country's indigenous majority and reaffirmed his pledge to nationalize the country's vast natural gas reserves. We speak with author and journalist James Petras.
In Bolivia, the country's first-ever indigenous president - Evo Morales - was sworn in on Sunday. He focused his nearly two-hour inaugural address on bringing justice to the country's indigenous majority. Morales spoke of the years of discrimination against Indians and compared Bolivia to apartheid-era South Africa.
HE ALSO REAFFIRMED HIS PLEDGE TO NATIONALIZE THE COUNTRY'S VAST NATURAL GAS RESERVES AND ASKED WEALTHY NATIONS TO WRITE OFF BOLIVIA'S $3.4 BILLION DOLLARS IN FOREIGN DEBT.
Bolivia is the poorest country in South America, but it has the second-largest reserves of natural gas on the continent. The 46 year-old Morales won the presidency in December with more popular support than any Bolivian president in decades. He is the latest in a string of left-leaning leaders to assume power in South America in what many see as a backlash against U.S.-backed free-market policies. Bolivia has had five presidents in four years.
Morales rise to power began with his leadership of the coca growers union and his high-profile opposition to the U.S.-funded eradication of the coca crop. He helped to lead the street demonstrations by Indian and union groups that toppled the country's last two presidents.
During his campaign, Morales said he would be the United States' "worst nightmare." He blasted the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, saying the idea was a sure way to enslave Latin Americans to the interests of American big business.
HR: THE SHARKS IN THE U.S HAVE CRITICIZED MORALES
The U.S has criticized Morales for his close ties to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and Cuban president Fidel Castro. But on Saturday, U.S Assistant Secretary of State, Thomas Shannon met with Morales and reportedly expressed a desire to strengthen diplomatic relations with Bolivia. After meeting with Shannon, Morales told reporters: "Relations between Bolivia and the United States are going to continue."
An opinion poll released this weekend by the Bolivian firm Apoyo said that support for Morales stands at 74 percent, an unprecedented level in the country's recent history. Morales broke into tears on Sunday as he donned the presidential sash and medal.
On Saturday, a day before the official swearing in ceremony, thousands of supporters came to the Indian ceremony that was held for Morales at Tiwanaku, a pre-Incan site that Indians believe confers strength on visitors. There, barefoot and dressed as a sun priest, he received a baton, encrusted with gold, silver and bronze, that will symbolize his Indian leadership.
World leaders from 11 nations attended Evo Morales' inauguration on Sunday. They included Nestor Kirchner, the President of Argentina, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil and the outgoing president of Chile, Ricardo Lagos. Also in attendance was Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez who had this to say about Morales" victory.
