FYI: June 2016
The leader of the coup, Honduran General Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, was a graduate of the notorious School of the Americas, a U.S. Army training program nicknamed School of Assassins for the sizable number of graduates who have engaged in coups, as well as the torture and murder of political opponents. The training of coup plotters at the program, since renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, isnt a bygone feature of the Cold War: General Luis Javier Prince Suazo, who played an important role in the coup as head of the Honduran Air Force, graduated as recently as 1996.
There is no evidence to suggest that the Obama administration was behind the coup. However, a number of U.S. officials most notably then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played an important role in preventing Zelayas return to office and the junta consolidating its power in the face of massive nonviolent protests.
Clinton insisted the day after the coup that all parties have a responsibility to address the underlying problems that led to yesterdays events. When asked if her call for restoring the constitutional order in Honduras meant returning Zelaya himself, she didnt say it necessarily would. State Department spokesperson Ian Kelly evaded reporters questions as to whether the United States supported Zelayas return, placing the United States at odds with the Organization of American States, the Rio Group, and the U.N. General Assembly, all of which called for the immediate and unconditional return of Zelaya.
After the Synagogue massacre, the MSM has suddenly decided that any Conservative criticism of ultra-Leftist George Soros is just camouflage for anti-Semitic hate speech.
The MSM is also pounding the theme of “Jewish Conspiracy Theory” hate speech by Conservatives.
Chris Farrell's remarks were something like “The Soros controlled State Department.”
Anyone with knowledge of the issue would know that Farrell was referring to the State Department documents that show American taxpayers are funding Soros political groups in Guatemala.
Of course, the MSM is counting on the fact that most people don't know that - probably because the MSM has never covered the story.
Bottom Line - just compare the intense coverage that the MSM gives to the “Conservative” Koch Brothers.
LOL!
And, the Koch Brothers aren't even Conservatives. They are “Open Borders” Libertarians.
