What began three weeks ago as a wave of economic discontent has curdled into something uglier and more deliberate: a coordinated campaign of violence designed not to win concessions from a government, but to destroy it. On Saturday, as Bolivia's Minister of Public Works led a humanitarian convoy flying white flags down the La Paz–Oruro highway, he was ambushed — not once, but twice — by protesters wielding dynamite.

Y según el ministro de la Presidencia de Bolivia, José Luis Lupo, las manos que tiran de los hilos no son todas bolivianas.

Coup in Plain Sight: Bolivia Is the Front Line of Latin America's Ideological War

The Paz government, backed by an increasingly alarmed international community, is sounding the alarm: what looks like a spontaneous uprising is, at least in part, an orchestrated attempt by former president Evo Morales to topple a democratically elected government and claw his way back to power.

A sudden strike on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) has shut down the nation's busiest commuter rail line, stranding hundreds of thousands of riders who typically travel between Long Island and New York City—and many of them are Latino workers who keep the city running.
