• There was the situation in Nicaragua where the Sandinistas had taken over a couple of years earlier. There was a civil war going on in El Salvador and there was a similar situation in Guatemala. So Honduras was in a rather precarious geographic position indeed.

• Honduras has become a murder capital of the world; there's horrible atrocities, infanticide, murder of women is way up, and people are fleeing in desperation. They come to the border, and we put them in trucks and send them back to Mexico to die. And here people are scared of illegal immigrants - that's what we're doing. It's pretty shocking.

• I was born in Honduras, that's where I was born. I live in California, where no matter what you say, you're Mexican. You understand that? It doesn't matter what you say. See - you don't understand that, white people, because wherever you go, you're white. You're here, you're white. You go to L. A., you're white. You go to Denver, you're white. You go to Miami, you're still white. In L. A. I'm a Mexican, In Florida, I'm a Cuban. In New York, I'm a Puerto Rican. And when I come to Canada and I find out I'm an Eskimo.

• Going to places like Honduras, Nicaragua, and various African countries you get to see very clearly what the cause and effect is. We finance the obnoxious elites in those countries and they exploit their people so we don't have to say that we're doing the exploiting but nevertheless we are benefiting from it.

• Berta Caceres was a Lenca Indian activist well-known in her country, shot in her home. She was not only known in Honduras, she was one of the world's best-known environmentalists and had recently opposed plans for a dam on a river considered sacred by the Lenca. Honduran police have said they are investigating the murder as a botched robbery, but many of her colleagues believe Caceres was targeted.

• In Latin America, in the past, it was almost impossible to guarantee democracy. There were military dictatorships, and nowadays there are not so many military dictatorships. Although we have a dictator in Honduras, as a result of a coup, now as a president, he is almost the only one I would say. But again led or managed, gestated by the U.S. government.

• No one is concerned with Central America anymore. If a million people are facing starvation in northern Nicaragua and Honduras, it's none of our business. Few people even recognize that this situation is in part an outgrowth of US policies going back to the 1980's. Nobody is concerned because Nicaragua is technically stable.

• Noam Chomsky has a book, which I read for the first time when I was in Spain, called 'Fear of Democracy'. There is your answer. Fear of democracy. In Honduras, they had a sham democracy. It was run by elites, what was called a liberal democracy, but in reality was a false democracy.

• Recuerdo que le dije a una joven activista que era hija de un trabajador indocumentado y, por tanto, podía hablar desde una perspectiva muy personal y legítima: Estoy de acuerdo contigo, desde una perspectiva moral, en que un niño de Honduras vale lo mismo que mi hija. Dios no respeta fronteras; no está diciendo que los niños estadounidenses merezcan una vida mejor que los niños hondureños. Pero soy el presidente de Estados Unidos, y el Estado-nación por definición significa que los límites significan algo y las fronteras significan algo.

• El miedo y el odio son el legado de Ronald Reagan. La visión de paz y libertad de Estados Unidos [está siendo] destrozada por los cañones de la marina estadounidense en el Líbano, los cañones de los paracaidistas estadounidenses en Granada y los cañones de los helicópteros estadounidenses en Honduras y El Salvador.

• I think California is playing a game of brinkmanship that's very dangerous. Why is it 50 or 60 years ago we had the capacity to lay down the physical, psychological, cultural, public infrastructure of a global mega-state, and today we are on the verge of being Honduras?

• Hay filtraciones de la Embajada en Honduras. Hubo un golpe de estado en 2009. Obama rompió con la mayoría de América Latina e incluso Europa y apoyó el golpe militar, todavía lo hace. El embajador en Honduras envió de vuelta un análisis detallado diciendo que el golpe fue militar, ilegal, inconstitucional, y que el presidente legítimo fue echado. Bien, ahora sabemos que Washington era perfectamente consciente de ello y decidió apoyar el golpe militar de todos modos. Deberíamos haberlo sabido en su momento. El gobierno no tiene derecho a mantener esa información en secreto.

• Doctor Jones, we're all vulnerable to vicious rumors. I seem to remember that in Honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist. Indy: Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerated the incident.

• It's a real misconception that water is a problem in Africa only. It's also an issue in Nepal, in Honduras, and in the United States of America. If we don't start paying attention now and curb our use and stop taking it for granted, we're going to be in a bad place, like everyone else.
