June 28 marked the six year anniversary of the military coup in Honduras – the day that a democratically elected left wing government was ousted by a US-backed, US-trained cabal of generals and right wing politicians and landowners. It could correctly be called a “Quiet Coup” primarily because it took place with very little fanfare from the corporate media which, to the extent that it covered it at all, did so mostly from a distorted perspective which spread more misinformation than truth. Today, six years (and many innocent lives, and billions of dollars) later, this shameful moment in recent history still remains largely forgotten.Also, I recommend this piece from Al Jazeera entitled "The Honduran meltdown: Made in USA" which reports that Honduras is another disintegrating society and failed state "made in the USA" and created to serve US corporations.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
