His name is Fernando Cerimedo. The Economist calls him "MAGA's man in Latin America." He's an Argentine political operative, dirty war specialist and disinformation expert. He worked for Bolsonaro, Milei, Kast in Chile, and Asfura in Honduras. Now he's the personal advisor to Bolivia's president Rodrigo Paz.
His business partner? Brad Parscale. Trump's former campaign manager. They run a consulting firm together called Numen.
🔸 Bolivia in its fourth week of general strike — 60 highways blocked, 4 dead, 90+ arrested 🔸 Law 1720: indigenous land used as collateral for bank loans — legalized land theft 🔸 Milei sent "frozen chicken" to Bolivia — Argentine congressman says it was riot gear 🔸 Evo Morales: the US ordered a DEA/SouthCom operation to detain or kill him 🔸 The Wiphala burned — same as the 2019 coup 🔸 Rubio called indigenous miners and teachers "criminals and drug traffickers" 🔸 Elon Musk: "We'll coup whoever we want." Bolivia has the lithium. 🔸 250 years of resistance — Chayanta, 1781. They're still fighting.
It's a small club. And we're not in it.
