Biden's regime change agenda

While vice-president, Biden's administration also oversaw the 2009 overthrow of the democratically-elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, aiding in his ouster and replacement with a brutal military dictatorship that continues to rule the country to this day. In her memoir, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton boasted that she helped "render the question of Zelaya moot." She did so by blocking action from regional bodies like the Organization of American States.

Wednesday's events also resemble a number of other U.S.-planned coup d'etats, including that of Venezuela in 2002. With help from the American embassy in Caracas, right-wing and far-right forces marched on the Miraflores presidential palace, joining up with sympathetic military units to storm the building and capture President Hugo Chavez. In the melee, dozens of people were killed and Chavez was overthrown, replaced by a well-known businessman with no political experience. The White House immediately welcomed what it euphemistically called a "change in the government." (Two days later, the coup was reversed by a huge popular uprising).
