CIA in Honduras: the Practice of Selective Terror

by Nil Nikandrov from Strategic Culture Foundation

This is a very good update on the Empire's latest subversion of a government in Latin America that strayed from neo-liberalist dogma.
President of Honduras Manuel Zelaya was displaced slightly over a year ago in a coup staged by the local oligarchy and the US intelligence community. The coup came as a punishment for Zelaya's alignment with H. Chavez and other populist Latin American leaders. Since the time, the news flow from Honduras abounds with stories of political assassinations, the victims being activists of trade unions, peasant and student organizations, and the National Popular Resistance Front opposing the pro-US regime of Porfirio Lobo. Ten journalists who expressed support for the ousted Honduran president have been killed this year alone.
