Hillarys Link to Honduran Violence
March 15, 2016
By Marjorie Cohn
...
By supporting the June 28, 2009 coup détat in Honduras when she was secretary of state, Clinton helped create the dire conditions that caused many of these children to flee. And the assassination of legendary Honduran human rights leader Berta Cáceres earlier this month can be traced indirectly to Clintons policies.
...
Hillary Clinton was probably the most important actor in supporting the coup [against the democratically elected Zelaya] in Honduras, Pine noted. It took the United States two months to even admit that Honduras had suffered a coup, and it never did admit it was a military coup. That is, most likely, because the Foreign Assistance Act prohibits the U.S. from aiding a country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree.
Although the U.S. government eventually cut nonhumanitarian aid to Honduras, the State Department under Clinton took pains to clarify that this was not an admission that a military coup had occurred.
Hillary Clinton played a huge role in propping up the coup administration, Pine said. The State Department ensured the coup administration would remain in place through negotiations that they imposed, against the OAS wish, and through continuing to provide aid and continuing to recognize the coup administration.
And so if it werent for Hillary Clinton, Pine added, basically there wouldnt be this refugee crisis from Honduras at the level that it is today. And Hondurans would be living a very different reality from the tragic one they are living right now.

Yes. Someone "thinks" that. Two different user names posted it, but I think it came from the same person, if you know what I mean.

(5,217 posts)choose from it is still sometimes easy to spot twin puppets by the way they string them together.
When comments like the one(s) you mention are made it is pretty clear that you are not dealing with a rational, logical person. They must have lost their forking mind(s).
