Bolivia this week has gone
full-communist. It has created a state church and criminalized Christianity.
Jail for anyone doing a religious gathering/ceremony is 7-12 years. Anyone with a
Bible is being denied entry into the country. Apparently they are now heading for
strikes and civil war. The “news media” is dead quiet about this. But I am
getting this from a saved brother in Brazil and confirmed by another saved
brother in Peru. And the media is saying NOTHING.
Below are the some of the messages I've received, coming out of Brazil, which is on the Bolivian border.

NEWS FROM BOLIVIA, NOW UNDER COMMUNIST REGIME.
“In Bolivia, there is no upheaval, there is a conspiracy of right-wing groups
against our CULTURAL POLITICAL REVOLUTION.” - Evo Morales.
The bestialization of the Latin American left blows in Bolivia. President Evo Morales
has criminalized evangelization in the country, with a hefty sentence of seven to twelve
years in prison; prohibited religious meetings in public houses and religious
demonstrations; created the Renewed Apostolic Catholic Church of the Plurinational State [sic.], to replace the Catholic Church in Bolivia;
demanded the meticulous registration of all the churches in the country;
statized ALL private schools, ALL the media and ALL the companies; eliminated
university autonomy; and ANY protests, demonstrations and demonstrations
against the government will be considered serious crimes - treason to the
motherland.
The changes in the Penal Code and the Bolivian Constitution will have “a
period of one year to be socialized,” President Morales said. There are strikes all over
the country. The doctors have been standing for more than 45 days.
This is an exact and explicit repetition of what happened in Albania in 1967 (by the bloody hands of Henver Hoxha) in communist Russia in 1918, and in the
regime of the French revolutionaries at the end of the eighteenth century.
Post 2 (17 Jan 2018)
Latest news from Bolivia: Brazilians with Bibles are being prevented from
entering Bolivia on the border with Mato Grosso. If a church is closed by the
government and the religious leader returns to worship services, he will have
his property taken by the government, as well as those owners who hold
religious meetings in their homes.
Only the Bolivian Episcopal conference manifested against the government. For
now there is no official Vatican statement.

Socialism in practice: Evo Morales wants imprisonment from 7 to 12 years for
those who start religious ceremonies in Bolivia
BOLIVIA - To ensure that Bolivia fits into the socialist ideal, a new Penal
Code was proposed in December 2017 and is under consideration in Congress.
Article 88 of the new legislation provides for imprisonment from 7 to 12 years for those initiating religious meetings or ceremonies in the country. The 12th paragraph characterizes the attitude as crime “the recruitment of people for participation in religious or cult organizations.”
For Evo Morales, the current
“president,” freedom of expression is a “concession of the state.” And with
that, another South American country is headed for a communist dictatorship,
like Venezuela.
Post 4 (17 Jan 2018)
In Bolivia, Christian leaders protest against Evo: “we will only have peace in
the cemeteries.”
Sermon of archbishop sends a hard message to the president, but Pope is
silent.
In recent weeks, Bolivia has been seized by protests against the New Criminal
System Code, which violates individual freedoms. In addition to the
prohibition of evangelization, the new law (which has not yet been voted by
Congress) can legalize abortion, censor the press and virtually establish the
dictatorial regime of Evo Morales.
Pastors held parades and prayer drives in the middle of the streets. So far
the Catholic Church, majority in the country, was not speaking. The pope, who
has been with the president five times - the last few days after the release
of the new summer terms of the Bolivian Penal Code - has not yet ruled on the
matter.
Since 2013 President Evo Morales has signaled that he intended to curtail
religious freedom. Following the Chinese Communist model, he proposed the
creation of a "Plurinational State Catholic Reformed Apostolic Church", which
would be a religious form controlled by his government.
On the occasion, Bishop Cristobal Bialasic of Oruro diocese warned that
Morales had plans to divide Bolivians by attacking his religion. In the past,
the Bolivian president called the Catholic Church an "instrument of
domination."
On January 9, the Bolivian Episcopal Conference made a public statement and
issued a document condemning various articles of the controversial law, saying
it "violates human rights and fundamental rights," including religious
freedom.

I just spoke with a pastor on the border of Acre with Bolivia. In Cochabamba
one already speaks in civil war and State of Siege.
There are rumors and threats that
tomorrow there will be armed conflict with the Government because of the
paralyzes and strikes. La Paz is in the same situation. Strong indications
that communications, especially online, are being monitored.
