Following the conviction of former Honduran coup president Juan Orlando Hernandez in a US court on drug-trafficking charges, the LMC speaks with both Adrienne Pine and Karen Spring about how JOH turned Honduras into a narco-state.
Adrienne Pine is an anthropologist & co-coordinator of the Intl Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine. Karen Spring is a researcher, host of the Honduras Now podcast, and co-coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network (HSN).
Often overlooked in Central American history, the struggle for social justice in Honduras in the 80s is given a deserved spotlight in this episode from the LMC as we spend the hour with Michael Fox on Honduras’ forgotten history of social resistance.
Michael Fox is a freelance writer and the host of the new podcast, “Under the Shadow.”
As the militarization of the border in Texas continues to increase under governor Greg Abbott, the LMC spends the hour with Heidi Beirich, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate & Extremism, about how continuing militarization has become a magnet for armed hate groups.
