Honduras Fail?

Zalaya is back. And that can't be good , especially when you've got NGO assholes saying things like this:

"...coordinator for DanChurchAid (DCA) Katja Levin, who is actually visiting Central America. ... also tells that there is an increasing conscience within the democratic movement in Honduras about the need for constitutional changes that can further a more democratic and just society.

'The positive aspects of the actual crisis are that a lot of Hondurans no longer passively are sitting and looking at corrupt politicians and an elite that is getting still richer. Now the Hondurans have grasped the opportunity and the courage to react and to think that a change is possible' says Katja Levin from Central America.

That is Communist code-speak. Got all the right words: "increasing conscience", "democratic movement", "constitutional changes" (the pesky constitution that legally prevents Zalaya from proclaiming himself "Dictator for Life"), "more democratic and JUST society"

Oh, and don't for get the "the opportunity...to think that a CHANGE is possible..."

Yes we can.

And an entire world of incipient dictators - now including Europe and the United States, apparently, persist in calling the removal of the Chavez imitator, Zalaya, a "coup". Doesn't that mean they're calling the Honduran Supreme Court, national Legislature, Army, and the Constitution....illegal? Am I missing something?

And they call the Zalaya supporters "rights activists". Whose "rights" exactly?

Those of Communists who feel they have the "right" to enslave another population? Who feel they have the "right" to violate their national constitution? Who feel they have a "right" to declare their boy President for life"....no matter what every branch of a duly constituted constitutional government has decided?

The People of Honduras are in for a shit-storm. And if they prevail, they'll be our hemisphere's Israel...where every surrounding country is hostile and major players in their world are out to destroy them. Of course, it won't be Iran as the biggest threat and bully in their neighborhood threatening their soverignty and freedom...it'll be the United States.

When the fuck did THIS happen?

2009 NewSpeak: "Tyrannizing" is "Democratizing"

Chavez Minister Vows More Radio Closings

Chavez calls this "democracy"....just like Obama's FCC "Diversity Officer" Mark Lloyd!

(George Orwell's 1984 "Newspeak" had nothin' on these guys!)

Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was "democratizing" media ownership.

Reuters reports the "critics" view as though it were just another side of the argument:

Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.

Yeah...forcing voices you don't like off the air is either "democratic" or "limiting freedom of expression".

Com si, com sa....whichever...

How would they report the Holocaust?

Chancellor Adolf Hitler is planning to eliminate all Jews from the Fatherland, saying he will "free" Germany of unsavory, anti-German elements.

Critics say the bloody slaughter of millions of Jews is hellish genocide, against all the laws of God and man.

(We at Reuters don't have an opinion on this matter. We don't take sides in political squabbles.)

*Mark Lloyd, Øbama's new FCC "Diversity Officer" who has publicly professed profound admiration for Chavez's treatment of the media, and is chomping at the bit to do the same thing in America. His idea of "democratizing" the radio stations is exactly the same: Get rid of private ownership, and give total power over all media to the government.

I guess he figures Øbama will stay in office forever. If he believed a Conservative—or even a Republican— would ever be elected again, would he really want the Imperial State running all Media?

Apparently the tumult in Honduras, and Venezuela's (and Obama's) support for the incipient dictator, Zeleya, is turning out the folks in Latin America into the streets for Freedom.

Chavez's remarks sound eerily familiar, dismissing the protesters and calling them names, particularly "right wing extremists".

Øbama's Dreams

U.S. Officials to meet with criminal Zelaya.

They don't seem to be able to distinguish between a "democratically elected" president...and one that has violated the Constitution of his country, defied the Supreme Court and the law, and therefore has forfeited all rights to his office.

Apparently, this administration and their drones, believe that once "democratically" elected, a President may do whatever he wants, regardless of its constitutionality, legality, morality, criminality.

Hitler believed the same thing. Chavez, too.

Øbama's minions have said as much...that because Øbama was elected, the people have given him permission to do whatever he wants...and that he should not be limited by that pesky, boring, old-fashioned Constitution.

So it makes perfect sense that he would support a fellow criminal law-breaker and scofflaw.

I believe Øbama sees himself in Zelaya and Zelaya' ambitions, which is why he lept to his defense immediately, and persists in calling his ouster a "COUP", when it is clearly no such thing.

"Democratically elected" is only good so long as the elected official acts within the limitations of the system that elected him. He does not become a dictator with a free hand to flout the law and the Constitution just because managed to get himself "democratically elected" once.

Øbama clearly, shares Zelaya's misapprehension.

He, too, bears watching.

Last Until Something New Happens

And finally, the Heritage Foundation on Honduras:

Honduras Fires Its Runaway President: Constitutional Order if Preserved

The military's actions, while swift and arbitrary, came after President Zelaya defied virtually every Honduran political and legal institution and propelled his citizens to the verge of polarizing violence. Zelaya's swift removal from Honduras probably saved many lives.

The events of June 28 mark the culmination in a series of confrontations between Zelaya and virtually all of Honduras's political and judicial institutions, including the congress, the supreme court, the two major political parties (including his own), and the military. At issue was Zelaya's effort to convene a non-binding public referendum that, he believed, would open the doors for major constitutional revision. Given that the Honduran constitution does not grant its president the power to convene such referenda, there is no question that, while the response of the Honduran military may have been rash, President Zelaya was fired for a legitimate reason....

....There is little doubt that President Zelaya was emboldened to challenge the institutions of Honduras by the support of Hugo Chávez and other ALBA members. On June 25, ALBA members issued a public statement claiming that a coup was already underway, and they backed the June referendum, despite lack of institutional support. In short, they endorsed Zelaya's defiant and reckless strategy....

....The U.S. can ill afford to open the door to a counter-intervention by Hugo Chávez, one that would deliver Honduras into the Chávez brand of "democracy."

Until "Stink-Eye" Søeterø makes his next stupid move on this issue...this is my last word.

Micheletti Warn Zeyala to Stay Away

The new Honduran president, Roberto Micheletti (is he Italian?) has said that if Zeyala returns to Honduras, he'll be arrested and put in prison.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, June 30 -- The newly appointed president of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, is warning that if ousted president Manuel Zelaya attempts to return here, he will be immediately arrested and sent to prison.

"If he comes back to our country, he would have to face our tribunals and our trials and our laws," Micheletti said in an interview with The Washington Post late Monday night at his residence in the hills overlooking the capital. "He would be sent to jail. For sure, he would go to prison."

Micheletti was named the new president of Honduras by the National Congress on Sunday, hours after soldiers burst into the presidential palace, detained Zelaya while he was still in his pajamas and then put him on a plane to Costa Rica.

The new Honduran president said he did not see any way to negotiate with the Obama administration and international diplomats seeking a return of Zelaya to power because Micheletti insisted that Zelaya was guilty of crimes against the country.

"No, no compromise, because if he tries to come back or anyone tries to bring him back, he will be arrested," Micheletti said.

The streets of Tegucigalpa were empty Monday night because of a curfew, but the city is awash in rumors that Venezuela is marshaling its forces for a possible invasion. Micheletti was meeting with Honduran congressional leaders and others at his house, as soldiers stood guard outside.

Micheletti cautioned the world that his army was on alert and prepared to defend the country against any invasion.

"Our army also consists of 7.5 million people prepared to defend freedom and liberty," said Micheletti, who stressed that Hondurans were a peaceful people.

I'm glad they're standing firm against the Marxist dictators, Castro, Ortega, Chavez and Øbama.

At least somebody in the hemisphere understands obeying the constitution.

Wouldn't it be nice if WE had someone like that?

Honduras Coup Prevented

Gustavo Coronel at Human Events on the Honduras situation. He makes it clear that it was Zeyala that attempted a coup!

That the American "President" should be in league with notorious Latin American dictators to back a Marxist insurgent does not come as surprise, I suppose, considering he is a demonstrated Marxist himself.

I suggest that the American People keep a sharp eye out for this sort of thing from their very own incipient tyrant.

...Therefore, when Zelaya put his plans in motion the Supreme Court issued a judicial order to stop the referendum and ordered the army to prevent it. In parallel the National Congress of Honduras, including members of the government party, declared Zelaya’s pretension unconstitutional. Zelaya responded by dismissing the military chief and by pushing forward with his plans. In answer, the Supreme Court ordered the military chief reinstalled in his position since he was only following their orders.

Sunday June 28, President Zelaya tried to put the referendum in place and the Army, acting on orders by the Supreme Court, stopped the event. President Zelaya was placed in a plane, unharmed, and sent to neighboring Costa Rica. The same day the Honduran National Congress decided, with the votes of the members of the government party, to unseat him as president. The reason? President Zelaya had tried to place himself above the laws of the country. By trying to pave the way for his re-election he had attempted a coup.

...And this time the U.S. went along. President Obama has just asserted that the weekend outing of Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya was a “not legal” coup and that “he remains the democratically elected president”. Apart from the fact that no coup is ever legal and that no one disputes the fact that Zelaya was elected democratically, President Obama neglects the fact that Zelaya was not ousted by a coup but by the National Congress and the Supreme Court of Honduras, acting together as legitimate institutions of the country. This is what independent powers in a democratic country do to a president that attempts to be above the law. In the light of this President Obama’s unfortunate assertion it now seems clear that lovers of democracy in Latin America will face an uphill battle, surrounded by governments that prefer to discard principles in favor of pragmatism.

The world is indeed upside down. I suppose the faster it burns, the sooner we can start over, and get it right.

Pretty much my best hope at this point.

Øbama Does Not Speak For Me!

PRESS RELEASE to the World

from an American Citizen

The current occupant of the American White House, Barack Øbama, aka Barry Soetero, who has recently endorsed the attempted establishment of a Marxist dictatorship by the criminal Manuel Zeyala—and indeed, insisted on his reinstatement— in concert with Marxist Dictators, Chavez, Ortega and Castro, and has thereby shown himself to be against the upholding of the legal government of Honduras,

DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

Manuel Zelaya attempted, against the will of the People, the Legislature and the Supreme Court, to take Honduras from freedom and democracy, to Marxist totalitarian slavery. The duly elected and Constitutional government of Honduras, appropriately and legally, prevented him from doing so.

There was no military "coup". The government was not brought down, it was preserved!

The military merely obeyed the orders of the Legislature and the Supreme Court—peacefully and lawfully—it did not take over the government!

Barack Øbama has shamed America by supporting Zelaya in concert with Ortega, Castro and Chavez. He has chosen Marxist Dictatorship over Constitutional Democratic Government.

HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

Øbama's New BFFs

I glad to see that I'm not alone in my analysis of the situation regarding the Iniquitøus Pig* Øbama and his reaction to the situation in Honduras.

(You'd think that after a good night's sleep, I'd have gotten over last night's name-calling rage...but you'd be wrong.)

Douglas O'Brien writes Dancing to a New Tune in Latin America

While it took days for Obama to pass judgment on events following Iran's presidential election, he swiftly expressed "deepest concern" over Zelaya's ouster at the hand of the Honduran government. A few hours after the ouster, Obama called on leaders in Tegucigalpa to "respect democratic norms," which would seem to be a call to restore Zelaya to power.

There is one small problem. Zelaya's removal from office was precipitated by his own illegal actions and attempts to undermine his nation's fragile democracy. Granted, any time a Latin American army takes a president into custody we hearken back to simpler times when generals hand picked presidents and if they got out of line, they lost their jobs, if not their lives. This situation is far more complex. And while Zelaya's ouster is an extreme reaction, the president's own moves are far more injurious to real democracy than those that the military, the Honduran attorney general, and supreme court took in trying to enforce the law...

...In Honduras, the Supreme Court declared Zelaya's moves illegal and ordered the military, in a law enforcement capacity, to prevent the referendum. The legislature has followed the law by naming an interim president and declared that this fall's scheduled presidential election will go forward as planned. And the courts have declared the military's actions legal.

The facts of this situation point to a president who abused his power, sought to circumvent the nation's constitution, ignored the ruling of the courts and incited lawlessness. The country's fledgling democratic institutions provided checks and balances to the president's power and stood up for the rule of law. In a region with a long history of left and right coups and iron-fisted rule, the United States should applaud the functionality of Honduras's government.

Sadly, the knee-jerk reaction in Washington has been to follow the lead of Chavez, Castro and Ortega, who will now, apparently call the tune in our Latin American policy.

I Just Can't Take It

The people and the Supreme Court of Honduras have made it clear they will not allow the rogue president to violate that country's constitution.

And our rogue "president", with his brother dictators of Cuba and Venezuela, has the temerity, the venality, the wickedness, the pure evil to publicly say that Manuel Zelaya is the "rightful" president of Honduras, and should be reinstated.

I was screaming at the television. Mr. Reasonable Sounding, the filthy, lying, totalitarian is saying that an incipient dictator, who, in defiance of the will of his people, the constitution of his country, and the decision of its Supreme Court, was seeking to extend his term of office, no doubt with exactly the same goal as his buddy in Venezuela is in the right.

I am convinced that Høllow Man is afraid the American people may, within the next three and a half years, rise up in the same way and remove his own, damned, traitorous self from office and hang him from the closest tree.

Barack Øbama is intolerable, execrable, unendurable, insupportable.

Every word out of this douchbag's mouth, and every action he takes, is an insult and a threat to our heritage, our history, our Founders, our exceptionalism, our parents' & grandparents' sacrifices, our faith, our values, our Republic, our liberty, our lives, and our future.

It has got to the point that I cannot bear the sight of him or the sound of his voice. No matter what he says, he's lying, no matter what he does, he harms our country.

That he can sit in the sacred White House, polluting it with his filthy presence, and declare that a lawfully removed criminal be reinstated as "leader" of a country against which he planned treason by disobeying it's highest court and shredding its constitution is beyond insufferable.

I despise him with as strong a feeling of loathing as I have ever felt for any human being. He repulses me almost to the point of physical illness.

If he touched me, I'm sure my skin would shrivel permanently at the spot.

I used to laugh at the crazies who called him the anti-Christ. But, honestly, I'm starting to wonder...

Please Note:. He's said not another word for the Iranians still dying in the streets for a shred of freedom. That's the only thing about which this Rat-Bastard Cøcksucker hasn't been all over the televison—at all times and on every station (ruining every meal you try to eat)—to endlessly blab his vile bullshit.

But he just couldn't WAIT to make a strong statement in favor of a Latin American Dictator.

It's the LAW

More on Honduras from Red State.

As I pointed out in a previous post. The Honduran Supreme Court ordered Zelaya out of office because he was proceeding with an illegal election in order to extend his own rule beyond that allowed by the Constitution.

And that provision of the Constitution, by law, cannot be amended!

Unlike unfortunate Venezuela's, whose Chavez did exactly the same thing, and got himself instituted dictator for life.

Now...who's more "democratic"? Assuming of course, you reject the idea that free people can "democratically" elect a dictator that does away with the democracy that elected him.

Chavez defends Zelaya

Chavez has plenty to say about his buddy's ouster in Honduras.

The socialist Chavez has in the past threatened to use his armed forces in the region but never followed through. He said that if a new government is sworn in after the coup it would be defeated.

"We will bring them down, we will bring them down, I tell you," he said, while hundreds of red-shirted supporters gathered outside Venezuela's presidential palace in solidarity with Zelaya.

Chavez poses as a defender of liberty and democracy, while threatening interference into a foreign country for his own aims, to support his own pals, and further his socialist totalitarian policies.

Isn't this the asshole that explodes if another leader even says something about his precious self? Yet he'll talk of invasion because he dislikes the situation in another country.

All the same. Super-sized egos for whom the rules do not apply.

Honduras Freedom Fighters Win

I hope our military will be as vigilant as the Hondurans when the shit comes down!

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The Honduran army ousted and exiled leftist President Manuel Zelaya on Sunday in Central America's first military coup since the Cold War, triggered by his bid to make it legal to seek another term in office.

President Barack Obama and the European Union expressed deep concern after troops came for Zelaya, an ally of socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, around dawn and took him away from his residence. He was whisked away to Costa Rica.

Zelaya, who took office in 2006 and is limited by the constitution to a four-year term that ends in early 2010, had angered the army, courts and Congress by pushing for an unofficial public vote on Sunday to gauge support for his plan to hold a November referendum on allowing presidential re-election.

Why is Øbama "concerned" that the military is defending the Honduran constitution? Zelaya is an ally of Chavez, who's made himself 'president for life' in his own tin pot dictatorship. I guess the Hondurans weren't that crazy about the idea. At least those who undoubtedly swore an oath to "defend the Constitution" of Honduras.

I guess big fat, powerful tyrants never like to see other big, fat, powerful tyrants go down.

From Yahoo News:

Zelaya denied resigning and insisted he would serve out his term, even as the Supreme Court backed the military takeover and said it was a defense of democracy.

His ouster came hours before polls were to open on a constitutional referendum that Zelaya was pushing ahead even after the Supreme Court and the attorney general said it was illegal. The constitution bars changes to some of its clauses, such as the ban on a president serving more than one term, they said.

More from BBC News

Chavez and Øbama have found more common cause. Calling this a "coup". Me, I suspect freedom and real democracy has been served.

And on CNN

The coup came on the same day that he vowed to follow through with a referendum that the Honduran Supreme Court had ruled illegal.

So...the Military is bad because it prevented the wannabe dictator from breaking the law in order to make himself an actual dictator??

Typical argument of the Left. Make the good bad and the bad good.
