DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nSun, Feb 19, 2017: 10:30 am to 12:30 
 pm\n\nHonduras & Colombia\nModels of US Control; violence, poverty and 
 displacement\n\n   Honduras and Colombia are centers for US Control in 
 Latin America which has been in process over many years. The Colombian 
 elite has welcomed Plan Colombia, extensive military training and 7 US 
 military bases in exchange for "stability", class security, money, business 
 interests and help opposing the mass anti-government movements over the 
 years. The US has centers for intelligence gathering, a new "School of the 
 Americas", bases with great military capacity, ready to invade any anti-US 
 country, such as Venezuela, Ecuador, Cuba and Bolivia. The US is not 
 supporting the Peace Process in Colombia which is being attacked by US 
 created paramilitary armies, Gaintanistas and Urabeños. This is not to 
 mention the many US mining and business.  Many peasant and popular leaders 
 are being assassinated at this very moment. We need to build opposition to 
 the US wars around the world, be it in the Middle East, Latin America or at 
 home.\n   In Honduras, the "Alliance for Prosperity", modeled after Plan 
 Colombia, increases militarization and privatization, and is responsible 
 for increased displacement, and corruption, violence, and repression.\n   
 The Presentation is sponsored by Bay Area Latin American Solidarity 
 Coalition (BALASC) and The Task Force on the Americas.\n   Alice Loaiza: 
 Lived in Colombia for many years and works with Marcha Patriotica. Also 
 worked with CONAP, Coordinacion Nacional de Organizaciones Agrarias y 
 Populares and also in international accompaniment. She has lived and worked 
 in many parts of the country. In the Bay Area Alice works with BALASC and 
 The Task Force on the Americas.\n   Diana Bohn: Visited Honduras for third 
 time in December, 2016, as a member of the Root Causes of Migration 
 Pilgrimage, which visited groups affected by the policies of the Alliance 
 for Prosperity, government corruption, and violence. Diana is a Task Force 
 on the Americas Board member and Member of BALASC.\n\nNiebyl-Proctor
