Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Lying about it being a coup for openers.
In her own words: http://www.democracynow.org/2016/4/13/hear_hillary_clinton_defend_her_role

Then there's this:
How Hillary Clinton Militarized US Policy in Honduras

She used a State Department office closely involved with counterinsurgency efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq to aid the coup regime in Honduras.


In 2012, as Honduras descended into social and political chaos in the wake of a US-sanctioned military coup, the civilian aid arm of Hillary Clinton’s State Department spent over $26 million on a propaganda program aimed at encouraging anti-violence “alliances” between Honduran community groups and local police and security forces.

The program, called “Honduras Convive,” was designed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to reduce violent crimes in a country that had simultaneously become the murder capital of the world and a staging ground for one of the largest deployments of US Special Operations forces outside of the Middle East.

It was part of a larger US program to support the conservative government of Pepe Lobo, who came to power in 2009 after the Honduran military ousted the elected president, José Manuel Zelaya, in a coup that was widely condemned in Central America. In reality, critics say, the program was an attempt by the State Department to scrub the image of a country where security forces have a record of domestic repression that continues to the present day.

“This was all about erasing memories of the coup and the structural causes of violence,” says Adrienne Pine, an assistant professor of anthropology at American University who spent the 2013-14 school year teaching at the National Autonomous University of Honduras. “It’s related to the complete absence of participatory democracy in Honduras, in which the United States is deeply complicit.”

“With the coup, Clinton had a real opportunity to do the right thing and shift US policy to respect democratic processes,” added Alex Main, an expert on US policy in Central America at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, after being told of the program. “But she completely messed it up, and we’re seeing the consequences of it now.”

Honduras Convive (“Honduras Coexists”) was the brainchild of the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), a controversial unit of USAID that operates overseas much like the CIA did during the Cold War.

Sanctioned by Congress in 1994, OTI intervenes under the direction of the State Department, the Pentagon, and other security agencies in places like Afghanistan, Haiti, and Colombia to boost support for local governments backed by the United States. Sometimes, as it has in Cuba and Venezuela, its programs are directed at stirring opposition to leftist regimes. Clinton gave the office a major boost after she became Secretary of State; its programs are overseen by an under secretary of state as well as the top administrator of USAID.

Right out of Henry's fucking playbook.
New She has a time machine like Obama now?
The coup was in 2009. How is something that supposedly happened in 2012 an indication that she "lied" about what she said about it in 2009?

An opinion piece years later doesn't change what was actually said about it at the time, as I documented above.

(sheesh)

Cheers,
Scott.
New Sheesh Indeed.
Did you watch the video? Or are you on full-on apology mode now?
New No I didn't watch the April 13, 2016 video. All I saw was a link and a bunch of text.
The contemporaneous statements out of the State Department were clear as day. Do you dispute them?

Nothing I saw in the contemporaneous State department statements contradict what she said in that interview with Gonzales in spite of Amy coloring the events as Hillary being "involved in" the coup.

See the link at #410987 for what was going on then.

Cheers,
Scott.
