to Coup leaders, assaulting democracy helping create "barbarity" that took the lives of so many Including ending the life of one of the world's top environmental activists, who also happened to be a woman A woman who before her death, pointed a finger at Hillary Yes, insulting immigrants and refugees is wrong; but creating the most desperate refugees whether by warmonginer in Iraq and Libya or by backing the Honduran coup? That's far worse and more costly than insults; It's measured in countless lost — and shattered — lives:

The international reaction to the coup was highly negative. It was condemned by the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization of American States. Every country in the EU and in this hemisphere -- except the United States -- withdrew its ambassador from Honduras. President Obama promptly denounced it as "not legal" and implied that president Manuel Zelaya must be restored to office. But very soon, the United States' position became far less clear. One important indication was the US State Department's refusal to use the term "military coup," which would have required cutting off military aid. This refusal came despite a report from the US Embassy in Honduras that a military coup, without any legal justification, was exactly what had happened. The role of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was particularly duplicitous, as she recounts in her recent memoir Hard Choices; while the United States gave lip service to the nearly universal demand that President Zelaya should return to his position, Secretary Clinton was campaigning behind the scenes to make sure that that did not happen. A few months later, the United States completed its about-face and recognized the government and president chosen in a highly dubious election managed by the coup regime itself. The US reputation in Latin America, notably improved after President Obama's April speech, fell sharply. (From truth-out article by Central America scholar Dr. John Lamperti)
In a non-swing states, always vote your values in any election; but this election...now you know the facts: Hillary in so many ways is not the "Lesser Evil" but the Greater Evil in past acts, and even more clearly, Hillary is the Greater Danger (Trump would be a more opposed, weaker, thus less dangerous — less able to do damage — president) Fight for a last-minute miracle President Jill.. A DT Presidency would increase progressive activism With Hillary, most Media would spin for her, many Americans would Go back to sleep, as in 90s, when Clintons gave us NAFTA & slashed aid to single moms Today it would mean also: $trillions on wars: devastation, death & more terrorism through Iraq-War style repeats After reviewing this, we hope you'll agree that "even" in swing states too, vote for the Greater Good: Dr. Jill Stein for President! At worst, we'll get a weaker "Lesser Evil" president in DT flooded with opposition And at Best? After all the huge Surprises (Bernie going so far, DT nomination, latest HRC health problems) we've seen? At best? We'll get a deeply progressive President Dr. Jill Stein! |
