4. She leaves out Honduras!

It's otherwise a fairly comprehensive list of why you should support Hillary Clinton if you love Neo-Con war. And it is damning! One other thing Martin leaves out, Clinton's weapons deal with the woman-hating Saudis, in what looks very like an exchange for a $10 million Saudi donation to the Clinton Foundation (which is mostly a slush fund for buying support for Clinton's campaign).

Pretty odd bedfellows: 'feminist' Clinton and the Saudi sheiks.

About Honduras: Clinton supported the fascist coup that destroyed Honduran democracy in June 2009, and that is cementing its power by assassinating lots of women, including, in March of this year, Berta Caceres, an indigenous woman and environmental and anti-coup activist (and winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize). Many women lead these movements in Honduras and are suffering a systematic program of rape, imprisonment and murder. Many gay leaders are also being targeted. Caceres fingered Clinton for her support of the coup, before Caceres herself was shot and killed.

THAT ALONE should disqualify Clinton from the Democratic nomination, and from the White House, unless we accede to the White House being Murder, Inc. I don't accede that. I will never accede to that. I want a president who doesn't go around killing innocent people, and killing alleged 'enemies' without benefit of trial, or supporting those who do in other countries because they've agreed to ravage their own people with "free trade for the rich"!

As for WOMEN supporting Hillary, all I can say is WAKE UP, SISTERS! I am not only a 50+ year member of the Democratic Party, I am a 71 year old woman who has been fighting for women's rights throughout my life. Sisters, you have bought into faux feminism. You have been fooled. You need to look into your hearts and ask yourselves about Berta Caceres. Do you support this? Clinton does! She actively supported the fascist coup d'etat, with political support and OUR tax money, and even to having the U.S. State Department run a phony election in Honduras, under martial, with many leftists being murdered, when no other elections group on earth would touch it. That's how much she supported it! And she admits her support of it in one of her damn emails!

I'm going to go back to this Abby Martin interview and transcribe the list she gives that condemns Clinton as an unregenerate war hawk. If you want another Neo-Con war in the Middle East, Clinton is your candidate.

And if you don't, and you live in California, Oregon or the other remaining Democratic Primary states, you have a chance to defeat Clinton. Bernie Sanders can win the nomination in the remaining states and don't let the Corrupt Media tell you otherwise. They are lying!

California will likely have ONE MILLION new voter registrations before the May 23 deadline--an unprecedented surge! We had 850,000 from January to March. This included a 150+% increase in young voters. Most of the new registrations are Democratic. And Oregon has had a similar amazing surge in new registrations. We can do it! We can give Sanders the nomination and send this war hawk back to private life where she can wallow in the half a billion dollars that Wall Street has given her for pocket change.

And Bernie Sanders will demolish Trump, as ALL match-up polls have been telling us since January, and are still telling us right now today.

The Corrupt Media and the Clinton campaign have been trying to drum it into peoples' heads that this primary is over. IT. IS. NOT. OVER.
