    A memory-jogger and update for you to,er, Peruse:

    Sashimi's been on the case (almost a lone voice here?) ..but the December coup is getting little coverage - and can be relied upon to stay off the MSM and even alt-media radar - thanks to the US's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

    So a memory-jogging sort-of update.
    (So much BS going down all over -
    too little BS(as in Brain Space) to absorb and keep track of it all.)





    Reminder: CIA agent turned U.S. ambassador Lisa Kenna met with defense minister day before president overthrown.
    But as with Nuland et al a physical visit was not essential to make the coup happen - the CIA obviously actually wants the alert few to know they're involved - wants to give the finger to critics, opponents and send a clear FU warning to other would-be leftist leaders:

    "The day before, US ambassador Lisa Kenna, who worked for nine years for the CIA and was executive secretary for Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, met with Gustavo Bobbio, who had been named Defense Secretary a day earlier. Bobbio, as described in an interview with RPP Noticia, gave the “indication” to the military command to disobey Castillo’s orders on December 7 and keep the troops in the barracks that day. Bobbio’s predecessor had resigned earlier that week, and the chief commander of the armed forces resigned hours before Castillo’s speech to dissolve Congress.

    Almost immediately after Castillo’s speech, Kenna tweeted condemning the action, which was followed shortly after by a joint statement of the Peruvian military and police vowing to defend the “constitutional order,” the expedited impeachment of Castillo by Congress and his arrest under the orders of the high command. Then the State Department and the European Union quickly recognized Boluarte as the new head of state."
