    The Obama administration has now joined the likes of Clinton, Bush 41, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, and Eisenhower. Under the cover of the "war on drugs", the US is actively backing a known cocainne trafficker's war against the peasantry.

    Miguel Facussé Barjum, in the embassy’s words, is “the wealthiest, most powerful businessman in the country,” one of the country’s “political heavyweights.” The New York Times recently described him as “the octogenarian patriarch of one of the handful of families controlling much of Honduras’ economy.” Sound familiar?

    No surprise there as that is the noraml operating mode of the US government. What has happened in Latin America is that Americas long time domination is falling as various Latin American states give them the cold shoulder. They have even set up their own version of the OAS and have not invited America or Canada. The times are changing down there and America wants so much to keep a foothold there. They supported the coup against Chavez but that did not work out for them so when they had the chance to get Honduras back from land reformers, they took it. They are the lowest of the low when it comes to human rights.

    All empire's act violently. It's not unique to the US. It's just the natural order of things. The great American philosopher John Dewey observed that:

    The Honduran military shouldnt be operating in the country anyways. I dont remember ever seeing tanks and soldiers patroling my neighborhood. The Honduran regime has become a military junta, run by oligarchs backed by the United States.
