Honduran Campesinos Under the Gun
April 20, 2010
The coup in Honduras is old news, but conflicts still endure in the Central American country. One of them has been portrayed by the media in Honduras as a fight between "terrorists," possibly foreign-supported, and the law-abiding government and military. The truth, as this video from The Real News Network shows, is a little different.
Farai Chideya, Independent Voters, and Honduras
April 19, 2010
Tea Party crowds held protests last week for tax day, but recent articles and polls have laid more blame for the anger at Obama at the feet of a deep-seated racial anxiety among certain sectors of Americans.

Jobs, Thomas Frank, Copenhagen and Honduras
December 8, 2009

Rigged Election in Honduras?
December 8, 2009
The recent election in Honduras was boycotted by supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Both candidates in the presidential race were supporters of the coup d'etat, and the victors quickly declared the election free and fair, and claimed 65% popular support. Yet as this video from The Real News Network shows, the truth is much more complicated.
Local Climate Solutions, Mary McBride, and Honduras Fraud

Nothing Resolved in Honduras
November 11, 2009
The announcement that the ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, would be returned to power in a power-sharing agreement seems to have come too soon. In this video from The Real News, we learn that the agreement seems to be doing more to legitimize the coup government than to get rid of it. Citizen activists' end goal is not only restoration of the democratically-elected president but also a constituent assembly to rewrite a constitution that largely favors those with wealth and power, and they are still fighting despite pressure from outside and restrictions from Micheletti's coup regime.
