Latin America is in an interesting position.
It's indigenous population is the furthest east that Asian and Pacific peoples reached, and its white population is the furthest west that European colonial groups established some foothold in the northern hemisphere.
The relationship of African and indigenous Australian peoples to North America appears to be a complex mystery that is still developing, based on genetic studies.
The Organization of American States is a group created, and headquartered, in Washington D.C.

The O.A.S.is considered a post Banana Wars project.

But there is an extensive history of U.S. government agencies using the O.A.S. to further U.S. corporate and strategic interests.
This history has been sanitized by official sources.

But there is a substantial body of evidence indicating that the O.A.S. has been, and still is, largely under the control of the United States, and that its purpose was, and is, to promote a climate favorable to U.S. corporate interests.
This is very difficult to research on Google. If you Google 'OAS CIA' the first page of results lead to the CIA website and are mild declassified documents. Results after that are other mild documents.
For a number of years there was an increasing transparency regarding past U.S. government activities, but in recent years that has shifted considerably to a very cleverly crafted obfuscation of history promoted by search engines like Google, and others.
A person who does not know the history will not learn it via Google.

Bolivia is a country that recently elected an indigenous leader, Evo Morales. Several weeks ago there was an election.

Today, news that the O.A.S. found irregularities in his election, and he is resigning.

In other words a) 'somebody' tampered with some election results, and b) he is the one who appears to benefit from the tampering, therefore c) the public is led to believe that he was the one who did the tampering.
The general in charge of the armed forces in Bolivia had charges brought against him several weeks ago, and both the national prosecutor and the military declined to pursue the charges. Now the U.S. has legitimized the apparent coup, but it remains to be seen if the military takes overt power.

Both Morales and Maduro in Venezuela were elected initially in elections that were judged fair by impartial observers, but efforts to paint Maduro as a tyrant who stole an election are ongoing. Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and it is becoming increasingly urgent for oil companies to stop the flow of Venezuelan oil to make room in the market for U.S. shale oil exports.

So it may seem complicated at this point, but in fact it is even more complicated than it appears.
The supposed irregularities involved a statistical observation about the results. In fact it was the same observation made in the hours after Donald Trump was elected.
Specifically, statistics has evolved as a science, but also as an art.
When Trump was elected, among other issues, there was statistical evidence that the vote was not consistent with polling, for example, done previously. The two possibilities being either the polling had not been representative, valid, or the election was rigged, thrown.
What is developing is a clash not of political or corporate interests, but of cultural tactics.
The west appears to be in a favorable position at first glance, but the more you zoom out the more a different landscape emerges.
https://news.yahoo.com/us-creates-monsters-trump-talk-110039862.html
Ultimately the west has expanded into the far reaches of the world, made western languages widely used across the planet, western medicine the first choice for those in any country with western cash, etc.
The flip side of that though is that western strategies are not obscure to the eastern observer.
If an indigenous rural hill person in Bolivia wants to understand what is going on in La Paz, all he or she has to do is find an indigenous person who has studied the colonial language, gone to colonial school etc.
