Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup

Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup STORY MARCH 11, 2016 Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing a new round of questions about her handling of the 2009 coup in Honduras that ousted democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. Since the coup, Honduras has become one of the most violent places in the world. Last week, indigenous environmental activist Berta Cáceres was assassinated in her home. In an interview two years ago, Cáceres singled out Clinton for her role supporting the coup. “We’re coming out of a coup that we can’t put behind us. We can’t reverse it,” Cáceres said. “It just kept going. And after, there was the issue of the elections. The same Hillary Clinton, in her book, 'Hard Choices,' practically said what was going to happen in Honduras. This demonstrates the meddling of North Americans in our country. The return of the president, Mel Zelaya, became a secondary issue

Just a reminder!  All too often we watch as religious zealots seek to impose their values and beliefs on others, many of which are not found in the Bible.  Bill Hupp April 2, 2016  ·

URGENT RE: Syria Strike

Last night, Donald Trump bombed Syria in a dangerous, reckless, and  illegal strike. And today, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said the United States is “locked and loaded” for a second strike on Syria if the Syrian government uses chemical weapons again.  [1] A second strike will not prevent horrifying chemical weapons attacks or hold Bashar al-Assad accountable.  We cannot let Trump bomb Syria again. Tell Congress: Debate and vote on this illegal war in Syria before Trump launches a second devastating strike. — Stephen ————— Donald Trump just bombed Syria. This strike will only create more destruction, chaos, misery, and death in Syria. It will neither ease the devastating humanitarian crisis nor hold Bashar al-Assad accountable.  The only way to end the terrible war in Syria and bring justice to the victims of war crimes — is to end the war in Syria. But with warmongering National Security Advisor John Bolton egging Trump on, today’s attack could lead to an eve

Late last night Donald Trump addressed the nation — surrounded by a dark cloud of investigations and corruption charges — and announced the United States was undertaking further military action in Syria. For years, well before his presidential campaign even began, Donald Trump assailed the Obama administration for intervening in the Syrian civil war, especially without Congressional authorization. His action last night is exactly what he promised the American people he would not do. It is also a clear indication of what many have warned, with the hiring of John Bolton, and nomination of Mike Pompeo to Secretary of State – Donald Trump has assembled a neocon war cabinet. Further, what does it say about a nation who bombs a country, exacerbating a humanitarian nightmare, and then refuses to help the innocent victims looking to flee, often with young children? And finally, we continue to be concerned about a
