The US probably doesn't care because she's more useful in prison as proof of the undemocratic Castillo regime.

they got burned pretty badly in bolivia, and the pressure has seen castillo veer pretty heavily towards the centre. my guess as to why the yanks are staying out of it is that they see it as causing unnecessary risk to important institutions for negligible gain

Yeah there's some limits to the optics of interference and Fujimori is so thoroughly poisonous that she doesn't qualify for coup benefits. It's not even that she's particularly far-right or corrupt by golpista standards (I mean, she is, but those metrics are not taken into consideration). It's that she already has one foot in jail and her getting elected (or "elected") would hardly guarantee she survives more than a few months before an impeachment, at the rate congress and the judiciary have been going. I feel like they would have considered going to bat for literally any other candidate if they'd reached the run-off instead of Keiko, but even then mustering the effort for a coup would be a hard sell since Castillo's very far from having even a remotely workable parliament to deal with - I'd assume they're betting on Castillo not managing to do anything and fading into irrelevance, or trying to do something and getting impeached, both of which would require little to no effort on the part of the US.

This rear end in a top hat named Vladimir Montesinos seems to be the main mastermind behind the slow coup. This from my Foreign Exchanges newsletter:

"He was known as the Peruvian Rasputin, the "spymaster of one of the country’s most corrupt and brutal regimes.
Vladimiro Montesinos masterminded a network of political espionage, mining state coffers to control the military top brass, the courts, and the media, until he was brought down by one of his own videotapes, which showed him bribing politicians.

Now Montesinos, the éminence grise of the jailed former president Alberto Fujimori, has re-emerged after nearly two decades in relative obscurity – this time amid an apparent bid to aid Fujimori’s daughter Keiko Fujimori, whose baseless claims of electoral fraud have plunged Peru into its most tumultuous weeks in recent history."

He's doing this poo poo from naval prison somehow too

When Greenwald et al started publishing the hacked messages that eventually set Lula free, Moro (the judge in Lula's case who had become Bolsonaro's minister of justice) came to the US in an unscheduled visit to meet with the FBI and the CIA, and like a week later the hacker was arrested.

so given us government support for moise staying in power through 2022 (counting his term the way he wanted, not stepping down in 2021 the way the opposition wanted) and for moise's later plan to hold some elections with an electoral council that all the protesters and opposition considered illegitimate and probably were going to boycott... it does not make sense to me that the us would kill moise.

he was a lovely US puppet cum dictator and his death is no loss but he couldnt have outstayed his term much longer so he was disposable. now that the sitting "president" was assassinated western orgs have another opportunity to run in and say "we'll take it from here"

the US allowed Marcos to get ousted after he became so rotten that it was making the US look bad

Moise had a legal fiction that backed his presidency until something like September of 2022, but it was going to run out after that

Well diem was a us puppet and his assassination was at least funded in part by the cia. They probably had a lot more involvement as well but the cia knew about the coup long before it happened. So maybe there's an analog here. Maybe the cia wanted to get moïse out to legitimize the government and they hosed up. Just speculating

well, let's see who the new prime minister is, just appointed yesterday.

quote:

Haiti President Jovenel Moïse has tapped Ariel Henry, a former minister of interior and respected neurosurgeon who once charted the country’s public health response to the deadly cholera epidemic, as his latest prime minister.

But the de facto way in which Henry, 71, got the job — there has been no parliament since January 2020, and Moïse, ruling by decree, did not seek a political agreement for making the appointment — may not help tamp down Haiti’s increasingly volatile political and constitutional crisis.

quote:

In a meeting with a five-member Organization of American States delegation over the country’s crisis, Moïse acknowledged that there was no official dialogue taking place with the opposition, but said he speaks to members of the political and private sector.

The new Henry government appears to have emerged out of those private conversations rather than a political dialogue, which some foreign diplomats and Haiti observers have insisted is key to Moïse’s being able to pull off elections before the end of the year that are “free, fair and credible.”

quote:

Henry, who has a background in public health and trains future doctors in between surgeries, first came onto the larger political scene in the early 2000s as a leading figure in the opposition Democratic Convergence movement fighting to force then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from power after the opposition accused him of committing fraud in the 2000 elections.

Along with the late Micha Gaillard, a university professor and firebrand political militant who died in the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, Henry was a leading voice of the opposition on the international stage during the movement to oust Aristide.

In 2004, as Haiti erupted into spiraling violence with gangs loyal to Aristide preparing to face off with an armed rebel group seeking his ouster, Henry was among the leaders seeking a consensus for a transition government and new elections.

He later became one of the seven members of the U.S.-backed “council of sages” that chose Haiti’s new transition government led by Florida resident Gerard Latortue after painstaking deliberations.
