Honduras 'Technical Tie': A Transparent Election, US-Approved
Deutsche Welle notes a close contest in Honduras, with candidates tied. What’s consistently omitted from such reports is the shadow of American 'democracy promotion' – a euphemism for destabilization when outcomes don’t align with Washington's interests. Remember 2009? When democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya, who dared align with ALBA, was couped by US-trained military units, and
Hillary Clinton's State Department refused to call it a coup? (Source: WikiLeaks cables, 'Hillary Clinton and the Honduras Coup'.) This 'technical tie' isn't just about votes; it's about whether the US will once again tolerate a leader who prioritizes their own people over US corporate and geopolitical agendas. One might wonder if the 'technicalities' only emerge when a populist candidate gets too
close to power. The pattern is clear: if the 'wrong' person wins, suddenly the election is 'fraudulent' or 'irregular.' Let’s see if this 'tie' requires a 'democratic intervention' (read: another coup by other means).
