By Pamela Spees for Center for Constitution Rights - Tomorrow, June 28, 2016, marks seven years since the coup d’etat in Honduras – the day that former President Manuel Zelaya was kidnapped by the Honduran army and then flown out of the country from an air field controlled by the U.S. military. That event sent shockwaves through the region and the world and was denounced by the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the European Union. Honduras was suspended temporarily from the OAS.

June 21, 2016 Staff, www.ccisf.org Resist! Regime Change, US Foreign Policy

By Staff of Center for Citizen Initiatives - “More than 50 State Department diplomats have signed an internal memo sharply critical of the Obama administration’s policy in Syria, urging the United States to carry out military strikes against the government of President Bashar al-Assad to stop its persistent violations of a cease-fire in the country’s five-year-old civil war. The memo, a draft of which was provided to The New York Times by a State Department official, says American policy has been “overwhelmed” by the unrelenting violence in Syria.

U.S. Sets Stage For Libya-Like Regime Change In Eritrea, “Africa’s Cuba”

June 16, 2016 Glen Ford, www.blackagendareport.com Educate! Africa, Regime Change, US Foreign Policy

By Glen Ford for Black Agenda Report - The U.S. is moving towards war against Eritrea, a fiercely independent African nation of only six million people. Washington has deployed its UN “human rights” proxies to justify another “humanitarian” military intervention, remarkably like the UN-sanctioned aggression against Libya, in 2011. The UN panel charges Eritrea with “enslaving” and murdering its own people – a pack of imperial lies. Obama is set to add another war to his bloody legacy.

May 30, 2016 J. Patrice McSherry, www.telesurtv.net Educate! History, Latin America, US Foreign Policy

By J. Patrice McSherry for teleSUR - Operation Condor was a covert, multinational “black operations” program organized by six Latin American states (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, later joined by Ecuador and Peru), with logistical, financial, and intelligence support from Washington. In the Cold War climate of the 1960s and ’70s, when U.S. leaders and Latin American militaries regarded popular movements and political dissidents as “internal enemies,” any methods were considered legitimate in the “war against subversion.”

May 22, 2016 Telesur, www.telesurtv.net Educate! Latin America, NSA, Regime Change, US Foreign Policy

By Telesur. National Security Agency documents revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden on Monday show that the NSA offered tailored training to staff on national security issues in Latin America in an effort to steer the region toward U.S. interests. A June 2003 edition of the SIDtoday newsletter, an internal publication run by the Signals Intelligence Directorate, the electronic eavesdropping division that The Intercept describes as “arguably the NSA’s most important,” announced a training opportunity for NSA staffers on Latin American strategic intelligence issues. The course, titled “Latin American Futures Project” and offered through the Strategic Intelligence National Intelligence Officer Council and National Cryptologic School, promised to “analyze potential developments in the Andean region and Brazil over the next five years along with their implications for U.S. interests in the region.”
