Another Government Overthrown - Herbert W Armstrong - September 1975

Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Major news headlines this morning read: Another government overthrown - this time in Peru, and a new premier and government in riot-torn Portugal. Governments are being overthrown at the rate of one or more a month. This morning banner headlines report a bloodless Coup over-throwing President Juan Velasco Alvarado of Peru. It was a coup by left-wing military officers. These same officers had staged a previous Coup in October 1968, overthrowing the government of President Fernando Belaunde Terry. Apparently the left-wingers felt that President Alvarado was not making fast enough progress toward communism. General Francisco Morales Bermudez has now taken over as head of state. He has been prime minister since the 1968 government was overthrown. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
