In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Ollie Vargas, a journalist with Radio Kawsachun Coca, to talk about protests demanding elections and an end to hunger on the six-month anniversary of the coup in Bolivia, why the new decree criminalizing misinformation amid the pandemic is likely to be aimed at giving cover to the AƱez regime's efforts to persecute dissidents, and what explains the lack of pushback to new agribusiness-friendly legislation by the "environmentalists" who used the fires in the Chiquitania to pave the way for the ouster of Evo Morales.
