OAS’s Insulza heading to #Honduras tomorrow
A few headlines for this Thursday afternoon:
OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza was planning to travel to Honduras on Friday, but says “we’re not going to negotiate”, and warned about sanctions.
El Salvador has reopened its border with Honduras.
The Honduran government has issued arrest warrants on Mel Zelaya and requested that Interpol arrest Zelaya. He is charged with treason, usurping power, abuse of authority, corruption and 14 other crimes.
Mel Zelaya is in Panama, where he attended the presidential inauguration yesterday.

Tell the world your disapproval with OAS’ pathetic handling of Honduras situation. Use #oassucks on Twitter.

The OAS is less than nothing. Every President seems to want to become a dictator and the people are sick of it. Tell the OAS to tend to their own countries the people of Honduras have spoken and the news media is NOT listening! That is why the Honduran Constitution is there, to protect the people. Zelaya´s wife even said that was what he wanted. I hope they arrest him and every other piece of sum politican that comes to their country. I guess they should not have been nice and exiled him, which was probaly the best choice, cause I would have hired a Guatemalan to kill him. Where does Obama get off, oh that´s right he wants to turn the USA into a socialist country too, why doesn´t he just go hold hands with Chavez and Castro! Has Mexico´s President and Belize´s PM figured it out yet? Wake up politicians the people are getting sick and tired of your stuff!
The Ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya was in violation of Honduras constitution and was dismissed for that by the nations Supreme Court.
The Honduran Constitution states a president can only hold office for one term. Mr. Zelaya was going to hold a national referendum which if passed would have required the National Assembly to meet and discuss repealing the one-term provision in their constitution. The problem is in their constitution it states if an official presents such a referendum, that person must resign so not to gain personally, but allowing future office holders to benefit.
Disposed President Zelaya refused to resign which put him in violation of the constitution. The Supreme Court ordered him out of office and ordered the military to run him out of office. The military followed the constitutional orders from the Supreme Court, disposed the communist president, and turned the government back over to the National Assembly. There was no coup or over throw of the Honduran government. It was a Constitutional process which was followed.
Communist Hugo Chaves from Venezuela, communist Fidel Castro from Cuba, communist leaning Secretary of State Democrat Hillary Clinton, all support the ousted president and label what happened in Honduras as illegal. Then leftist Democrat President Barack Obama agreed with these Marxist.

Well, there is nothing to negotiate. Zelaya proved to be a crook. He may have been a Chavista, but clearly this was for his own gain. If Insulza doesn’t want to listen, he shouldn’t come to Honduras to issue ultimatums.
As demonstrators have said here repeatedly, momths of sanctions are preferable to a lifetime of Dictatorship.
We’re better off now, with Zelaya out. Yes, I have serious reservations about the new suspension of some constitutional rights during curfew. I think this will hopefully end after this coming weekend when Zelaya and Insulza have hopefully shot their wads.
This is a country of peace and liberty. Few here will accept less.

Thank you, brave intelligent Fausta, for keeping us up to date about the real story in Honduras — and throughout South and Central America. The mainstream media here in the U.S. have no time for the truth. When they find a spare moment from 24/7 Michael Jackass coverage, they simply report Obama-ganda about the “anti-democratic coup” in Tegucigalpa (sp?).
Without your honest coverage, I would not have a clue what was really happening there.

BJ Wood-I don’t have any doubt that is correct but could you cite the relevant article of the Honduran Constitution covers such an event? It certainly makes sense, one for the distrust quite a few of these countries have of caudilloism and that second that would also be very legitimate grounds to have the military seize him preemptively. The preemptive would be to the referendum not to the legality of the referendum.
This whole mess could be compared to the hypothetical seizing of Pres Madison and his immediate impeachment if he were caught trying to exchange a third term sponsored by the British for Fort McHenry or Pittsburgh.
