Records Demonstrate that the Secretary Has Hands-On Control of the Fund that Gave $6.5 Million to the Regime After the June 28 Coup

In recent days, Narco News has reported that, in the three months prior to the June 28 coup d’etat in Honduras, the US-funded Millennium Change Corporation (MCC) gave at least $11 million US dollars to private-sector contractors in Honduras and also that since the coup it has doled out another $6.5 million.

The latter revelation – that the money spigot has been left on even after the coup – comes in spite of claims by the State Department that it has placed non-humanitarian funding “on pause” pending a yet-unfinished review.

Narco News has further learned – based on a review documents available on the websites of the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the US State Department – that Secretary Clinton, as chairman of the MCC board, is not just a figurehead in name only. She has played an extremely active role in governing and promoting the fund and its decisions.

3. Lot's of change

Amazing contortions coming from the Obama administration on the coup. Now they are saying it was a coup but that it would be "inappropriate" for the US government to get involved in reinstating Zelaya.

Doh. US government involved in Honduras? That would be new huh?

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday it was hypocritical for critics of Washington's response to a coup against Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to demand a more forceful U.S. role in returning him to power.

Zelaya, an ally of anti-U.S. leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said last week the United States needs "only tighten its fist" to evict the de facto government installed after he was overthrown in June.

"The same critics who say that the United State has not intervened enough in Honduras are the same people who say we are always intervening and the yanquis need to get out of Latin America," Obama said told a closing news conference at a U.S.-Mexico-Canada summit in Guadalajara.

"You can't have it both ways," he insisted, without naming names. "We have been very clear in our belief that President Zelaya was removed from office illegally, that it was a coup and that he should return. We have cooperated with all the international bodies in sending that message."
