In Honduras, as many as 25,000 people marched Friday demanding the resignation of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández. The protests come six years after a coup ousted Honduras's democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. In an exclusive interview, Zelaya talks about the new protest movement, the fallout from the 2009 coup, and Hillary Clinton's role in his ouster. "On the one hand, [the Obama administration] condemned the coup, but on the other hand, they were negotiating with the leaders of the coup," Zelaya said. "And Secretary Clinton lent herself to that, maintaining that ambiguity of U.S. policy to Honduras, which has resulted in a process of distrust and instability of Latin American governments in relation to U.S. foreign policies." While the United States publicly supported Zelaya's return to power, newly released emails show Clinton was attempting to set up a back channel of communication with Roberto Micheletti, who was installed as Honduran president after the coup.

Q: Why would Hillary support the overthrow of a democracy in Honduras, yet support democracy here in the US?
A: Hillary is against ALL democracies, no matter where they may be. She is beholden to oligarchs, bankgangsters, corporations, and their collaborators in the one percent. All they want is stability (i.e., a license to plunder and kill and the ability to enjoy the fruits of their crimes). They don't want any stinking "democracy" that gets in their way.
Her apparent participation in the US "electoral process" is just a poorly tolerated inconvenience to her as she attempts to ascend to the throne of power and privilege, where she can continue to loot and kill with impunity.
