They claim to have evidence that at least 3,000 votes were altered in the  TSE  computer system that did the counts. See  Bolivian Elections - Renán Cabezas and Ramiro Venegas Denounce Alleged Electoral Fraud Scheme . Apparently the TSE system is hosted on an AWS cloud service located in the USA. It is not clear how to me how they can prove that their evidence is genuine. They are planning to send examples via WhatsApp to their membership as proof, but I don't see how anyone will be able to know that this is evidence of fraudulent vote counting by the TSE. They would need to explain exactly how they obtained them and from what system, and then those claims would have to be evaluated by someone who is a trusted authority on digital forensics. I don't know anyone who could do that. They also claim that the data center in La Paz had a copy of the electoral roll and they are demanding that the TSE explain how this was obtained.

This is about the sale of data resulting from a hack on La Agencia de Gobierno Electrónico y Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación . The data includes a list of known vulnerabilities in the National Police system. They're selling copies of this data for $150. Not only could people make false statements, but the data about who made the statements could be revealed. See my blog post of April 2015  Developing Secure Communications  and  Maria Ressa's UN Address . The executive director, Vladimir Terán, says that these were copies of historic documents that had been downloaded to an employee's home computer and that the hackers only accessed that machine and the data that was on it. But then he goes on to admit that the employees access credentials to the AGETIC network were compromised, but that they were changed within a matter of days after the breach.  Interview with Renzo Mercado, National Director of Technology and Telematics for the Police. He states categoric...

See  Angela Collier on Physics Conspiracies (and Grifters)  and  What is Physics Really About? I don't have the wits to follow this, but it sounds much more interesting to me than most of the ideas I hear about these days. The thing I like about it is that it takes the role of the experimental observer seriously. See  Curt Jaimungal Intervew with Jenann Ismael  and her paper (2024)  A Participatory Universe in the Realist Mode . Skimming through that again I get the feeling that I would know that I was a physicist if I could reproduce my experiments: so the physicist, in doing experiments, is engaging in autopoeisis: experimental physics is autopoetic.  Subscribe to Gabriele Carcassi .

Carlos Aranda Herrera  is an independent economic analyst. 20:48 He makes an interesting observation about how rebates and subsidies are calculated. It must be a hang-over from the days when people didn't have access to mechanical calculators! The same argument applies to taxes and interest. The scales should slide smoothly, without "breaks" which cause completely artificial barriers which people invariably try to exploit. Subscribe to Unitel Bolivia .

People are writing whole books and making careers about stuff that was completely obvious a decade ago. See  Maria Ressa’s UN Address . I have not listened to more than the first 32 minutes, where he starts stating facts about what most people on social media thought. Data? Fuck that! Subscribe to LSE .

They are unconvinced that either candidate will fairly represent the indigenous population. Aspects of this rhetoric remind me of Obama’s identity politics. Subscribe to Bolivia Info Ninawa .

Why is it so easy to falsify the accounts of these government funding institutions? Why is investigation of the expenditure on these projects left to political opposition? It’s not only Bolivia that has this problem. Subscribe to Bolivia Info Ninawa .

This appeared on YouTube in 2009 as part of some publicity for a reissue of  Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea . That day, I was coming back down from the summit of Huayna Potosí, having just narrowly avoided killing myself on the penitentes. See  La Emprendadora de Alto Milluni . This post was her idea . You have to check the timestamps on these videos. A friend and I went to hear her live in Gunnersbury Park in London last year: C'mon Billy: As we were leaving the park one of the marshals (is that what they're called? The people in high-vis with radios that stand around telling people where to go, ...) said "Don't make any bad decisions" just as we were passing.

This was posted on 23 March, 2024. El Dia del Mar in Bolivia. 35:03 I had this idea that Bolivia could have negotiated with Chile on the basis of joint development projects. That coastline and the Atacama desert is a unique geographic phenomenon which surely provides unique opportunities for human development. I hadn't considered the possibility of doing some sort of three-way development with Peru involved as well.
