How did a CIA-backed military coup in 2009 turn Honduras into a violent, repressive dictatorship and lay the groundwork for the civil strife seen there today? RT America’s Michele Greenstein explains. Then former President Manuel Zelaya joins Rick Sanchez to explain how he was ousted and his progressive government dismantled for the sake of US-based transnational companies.
Zelaya reveals:
I had joined the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas and people from the United States threatened me. Including president Bush. They asked why was a friend of Chávez ... the United States warned me: 'if you sign the Bolivarian Alternative to the Americas, ALBA, you're going to have problems with the United States.' I signed it, and six months later I had problems. They kicked me out.
