Honduras too.

EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Clinton sold out Honduras: Lanny Davis, corporate cash, and the real story about the death of a Latin American democracy

It was becoming widely believed that the Clinton State Department, along with the right-wing in Washington, was working behind the scenes to make sure that President Zelaya would not return to office. This U.S. cabal was coordinating with those behind the coup, it was being rumored, to bring new elections to Honduras, conducted by an illegal coup government, which would effectively terminate the term of Zelaya, who was illegally deposed in the final year of his constitutionally mandated single term. All this as Honduras was “descending deeper into a human rights and security abyss,” as the coup government was seen to be actually committing crimes worthy of removal from power. Professor Dana Frank, an expert in recent Honduran history at UC Santa Cruz, would charge in the New York Times that the resulting “abyss” in Honduras was “in good part the State Department’s making.”

my gawd man!

The weird thing is I don't even know if that's what she's going to angle for tonight because the debate is in Milwaukee. Bernie might have her beat their because of the working class vote. She can bring up BLM all she wants, but if she's not willing to talk about the segregation within Milwaukee, it's pointless.

Its on tv though. I honestly don't think her "race card" is as strong as she thinks it is and she should play it now so she can regroup when it crashes.

Before someone misreads this link is the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, not the CBC itself.


Hillary Clinton’s Congressional Black Caucus PAC Endorsement Approved By Board Awash in Lobbyists

Members of the CBC PAC board include Daron Watts, a lobbyist for Purdue Pharma, the makers of highly addictive opioid OxyContin; Mike Mckay and Chaka Burgess, both lobbyists for Navient, the student loan giant that was spun off of Sallie Mae; former Rep. Al Wynn, D-Md., a lobbyist who represents a range of clients, including work last year on behalf of Lorillard Tobacco, the makers of Newport cigarettes; and William A. Kirk, who lobbies for a cigar industry trade group on a range of tobacco regulations.

And a significant percentage of the $7,000 raised this cycle by the CBC PAC was donated by white lobbyists, including Vic Fazio, who represents Philip Morris and served for years as a lobbyist to Corrections Corporation of America, and David Adams, a former Clinton aide who now lobbies for Wal-Mart, the largest gun distributor in America.

The caucus itself, while presenting itself as champions of progressive causes, has a mixed legislative record. As some reporters have noted, Wall Street and corporate money has flowed to the CBC, through its PAC and nonprofit arms, while a number of CBC members have taken a leading role working with Republicans to chip away at the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

The CBC PAC endorsement comes as the Clinton is working furiously to demonstrate that the African American community stands solidly behind her campaign. Shortly after her crushing defeat in the New Hampshire primary, her campaign hosted a conference call with surrogates who dismissed Sanders as being “absent” on issues important to African Americans, and belittled his role in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s March on Washington as insignificant. Hazel Dukes, the New York state NAACP leader who disparaged Sanders’s role in the civil rights movement, previously helped Wal-Mart in its bid to open stores in New York City after her group received donations from the company.

like?

speaking domestically:

first off, there was a huge fear campaign by state and business interests to get these processes started

crime was sorta high but not out of ordinary compared to other industrialized societies
see:
The Real War on Crime: The Report of the National Criminal Justice Commission

so as the report points out, FEAR OF CRIME shaped these policies more than actual crime. prison populations skyrocketed since the 80s while rates of crime essentially stayed the same.
at the end of the 80s we were well ahead of the world in incarceration with NO reduction in crime to show for it.

so now that these policies have been shown to be completely ineffective why would they continue with it? either they're completely brain dead or there was another purpose.

from their OWN studies they already KNEW for years that drug treatment and prevention was more cost effective and produced way better results. so why didn't they do it?

they spent a ton of $$$ locking people up and carrying out operations overseas with absolutely NOTHING to show for it. if they were truly concerned about crime and drugs why would they continue on with clearly ineffective methods?

to find out the intention of someone's actions you need to look at the predictable consequences of those actions. and in this case the consequences were mass incarceration of poor black and hispanic people and the feeding of the prison industrial complex <-- a concept which all black people should be familiar with.

and i haven't even spoke on the laughably ineffective foreign policies in places like Colombia which actually INCREASED production of drugs.
