More US spin on Honduras...
is brought to you by Voice of America, which starts its story from this morning with the following headline and tagline:

Honduran Congress Grants Zelaya, Coup Plotters Amnesty

Supreme Court also clears military of criminal charges; both moves seen as steps toward national reconciliation before President-elect Lobo takes office Wednesday.
Really? seen as "steps toward national reconciliation" by whom?

1. 180 degree "spin." This "reconciliation" is like the "reconciliation" thing in Congress
on health care, between health care bills that are 99% pure profit for the insurance corps (the "liberal" proposal) and 100% pure profit for the insurance corps (the Puke proposal). 199% screwing of the poor.

As to Honduras, we have the 99% screwing of the poor by global corporate predators (the Clinton policy) and 100% screwing of the poor by global corporate predators (the big boot of the coup government). 199% screwing of the poor, reconciled.
