Honduras Needs World Support

The situation in Honduras is critical. Not because the now deposed ex-president Zelaya was removed from office and the country, or the isolated protests from some of his few supporters. The situation in Honduras is critical because the entire world, without knowing the realities of recent events, and what brought it to this point, has united to condemn and punish the Honduran people for enforcing their constitutional laws. It seems like the entire world is willing to show support to an individual who was removed for abusing his presidential powers/authority trying to hold a national election he has no power to conduct. It also seems as if the world is willing to support the intentions of the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Communism masked as socialism is the last thing we need in Honduras, or Latin America.

What Can We All Do?
If you really believe in freedom of expression, and a nation's authority to enforce its constitutional laws, then support Honduras in its efforts. Call your ambassador wherever you are. Contact your representatives in your local governments and Congress . Tell them to know the facts of what has really happened in Honduras before they condemn and punish a country for enforcing its laws. Obligating Honduras to put Zelaya back in office will bring greater chaos in Honduras and Central America.

Honduras Necesita El Apoyo del Mundo

La situacion en Honduras esta critica. No porque el depuesto presidente Zelaya fue expulsado del pais o por las aisladas protestas de sus pocos apoyantes. La situacion en Honduras esta critica porque el mundo entero, sin saber los verdaderos detalles de la situacion, se ha unido a castigar al pueblo Hondureño por enforzar sus leyes constitucionales. Tal parece que el mundo entero esta dispuesto a apoyar a un individuo que fue expulsado por abusos de autoridad en querer ejercer una eleccion ilegal. Tal parece que el mundo entero esta dispuesto a apoyar las intenciones de el dictator Venezolano Hugo Chavez. Comunismo enmascarado de socialismo no es lo que necesitamos en Honduras, mucho menos Latino America.

Que Pueden Hacer
Si de verdad apoyas la libertad de expresion y la autonomia de una nacion a enforzar sus leyes constitucionales, unete a Honduras. Llama al consul o embajador de tu pais en donde sea que estes y pideles que no condenen Honduras, y su nuevo presidente, sin conocer las realidades de la situacion. Obligar a Honduras a poner a Zelaya como presidente destruira la paz en Honduras y Centro America.

Hugo Chavez Threatens Honduras

Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez, has once again made threats against the people of Honduras for their behavior against his "friend" the now deposed ex-president Zelaya. National newspaper La Prensa reports: Hugo Chavez stated today that an "agression" against Manuel Zelaya will obligate a "military intervention by the United Nations." That's quite interesting. We must be reminded that Chavez had already made threats of bringing the Venezuelan military into Honduras to support Zelaya.

Exactly, how does Mr Chavez think that he'd be able to do such thing? The moment military members from Venezuela step into the country, illegally, and with the intent to establish, and to empower an individual that the country has rejected, it'd be the moment his country has officially declared war against Honduras. I don't think Chavez will dare to do such thing. It's possible, if he in fact has the sufficient "minerals", that he'd use Nicaraguan Daniel Ortega, another one of his ALBA puppets, to enter Honduras and realize his ideals of creating chaos in Honduras.

But, why is it that world organizations like the UN and OAS is not asking what is Mr Chavez's interests in Honduras? Why Honduras? And also, why is it that no one has questioned his constant threats of invading the country with his Venezuelan military? It's hard to believe that someone like Chavez is allowed such abusive behavior against the sovereignty of another country. Why aren't these world organizations questioning his abuses in Venezuela?

President Micheletti Speaks at Central Park

The recently appointed President of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, spoke publicly at the Central Park in Tegucigalpa. Among many issues, he expressed gratitude to the Honduran people for all their support. He also emphasized that the country will hold presidential elections on January 2010, as already scheduled, and that the title of President will be given to whomever voters decide to appoint as their new president.

Members of the church were also present stating that the only person who can be accused of illegal acts against the country is the now deposed ex-president Zelaya.

Presidente Micheletti Habla en el Parque Central

El recien nombrado Presidente de Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, hablo publicamente en el Parque Central de Tegucigalpa esta noche. Entre los temas que toco fue darles las gracias al pais por su apoyo. Tambien hizo emfasis en que el pais va a tener elecciones presidenciales en Enero 2010 y que el titulo presidencial sera entregado al individuo que el pueblo elija como su nuevo presidente.

Miembros de la Iglesia tambien estuvieron presentes para recordarle al publico de el unico que ha cometido acciones ilegales en el pais es el depuesto ex-presidente Zelaya.

Hugo Chavez Amenaza a Honduras

Hugo Chavez a vuelto a repetir su amenaza contra el pueblo de Honduras por su comportamiento en contra de su "amigo" el depuesto presidente Zelaya. La Prensa reporta: Hugo Chávez afirmó hoy que una "agresión" contra Manuel Zelaya obligaría a una "intervención militar de Naciones Unidas." Muy interesante. Hay que mencionar que Chavez en si ya habia hecho amenazas de llevar el ejercito militar Venezolano a Honduras para apoyar a Zelaya.

Exactamente como es que el señor Chavez cree que va poder hacer tal cosa? El momento que miembros militares de su pais entren illegalmente al pais, especialmente con intenciones de establecer, y forzar, un individuo que ha sido rechazado por el pueblo, seria el momento en que el en si esta declarando guerra oficialmente en contra de Honduras. No creo que se atreva a tal cosa. Es posible, que si de verdad el tiene los "minerales" suficientes, que el use a Daniel Ortega, otro titere de Chavez, para amplificar sus intenciones de crear una crisis en Honduras.

Todo esta participacion publica de Chavez crea la pregunta que organizaciones como la OEA y ONU no se hacen: cual exactamente es el interes de Chavez en Honduras y porque se le es permitido amenazar la soberania y paz de otro pais sin ningun "detente" de nadie. Es increible que alguien como Chavez, es permitido tal abuso. Por que estas organizaciones no investigan a Chavez y los abusos que el lleva cometiendo en Venezuela?

La Realidad En Honduras

Destituido Presidente ZelayaEl mundo esta en completo desconocimiento a lo que en realidad esta sucediendo en Honduras en estos momentos. La realidad es que el "presidente" Zelaya (foto) fue destituido por tratar de tener elecciones para, eventualmente, extender su presidencia, tal como sus "amigos y aliados" Hugo Chavez lo ha hecho en Venezuela. Pero, como lo dice el dicho "dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres" Pero, los amigos de Zelaya no era lo unico que le molestaba al pueblo Hondureño; sus acciones de remover/desacerse del general de rango militar mas alto en el pais, el cual no apoyaba las acciones/intereses.

Lo Que Paso
Venezuelan president Hugo ChavezQue fue lo que paso? Zelaya estaba tratando de tener una eleccion de "consulta al pueblo" en la cual el proponia, por medios de cambios a la constitucion, terminar el limite presidencial de re-elecciones. Bajo la ley constitucional de Honduras, el presidente no tiene ni el derecho/poder a organizar ningun tipo de elecciones. Pero, con el apoyo financiero de su "amigo" Hugo Chavez (foto), Zelaya trajo todo el equipo necesario, desde Venezuela, para que mencionadas elecciones se efectuaran. Las urnas fueron distribuidas por todo el pais. Asi que en realidad, Zelaya y Chavez estaban trabajando mano-a-mano para asegurarse una victorias a sus aspiraciones.

"Mel" como el depuesto presidente es conocido en el pais, estaba tambien usando sus poderes presidenciales para ganar apoyo, y destruir oponentes, al rededor del pais. Hasta despidio al general de rango mas alto en el ejercito, el cual se oponia a las intenciones de el ahora depuesto presidente. Mel lo despidio, para despues regresarlo a su posicion. Pero no lo hizo por buen corazon. Mel lo regreso por presion.

A sido tambien reportado que un numero de oficiales alrededor de el pais se han quejado de haber sido amenazados si no apoyaban las intenciones de Zelaya. Han habido casos de quejas de personas que se reportaban a los hospitales para recibir servicios medicos, los quales le eran negados si no votaban a favor de el presidente.

Se ha reportado que Zelaya tambien tenia planes de disolver el Congreso Nacional, el cual estaba en contra de el.

El President Ha Sido Destituido - No Golpe de Estado Por Militares
Nicaraguan Daniel OrtegaEn las horas temprano de el domingo, bajo ordenes de el Congreso y cuerpos judiales, miembros militares entraron en la Casa Presidencial y arrestaron a Zelaya y lo embarcaron en un helicoptero en camino a Costa Rica. Una vez afuera, Zelaya procedio a contactar a Chavez y Daniel Ortega (foto) para apoyo. Como era de esperarse, Nicaragua y Venezuela hicieron su oposicion a lo acontecido bien claro. Costa Rica le permitio a Zelaya a "pintarse" se victima de un golpe militar. En Honduras nunca hubo un golpe militar. El ejercito ejecuto una orden hecha por cuerpos judiciales del pais.

Una vez que Zelaya fue expulsado del pais, el Congreso nacional nombro a Roberto Micheletti como el presidente intermedio. En otras palabras, Micheletti servira como presidente hasta Enero 2010 cuando las elecciones presidenciales ya estaban programadas.

De nuevo, nunca hubo un golpe de estado militar en Honduras. El Congreso, y otros cuerpos judiciales, ordernaron al ejercito a actuar y remover al presidente por violar leyes constitucionales del pais.

Lo Que Tenemos Ahora
Lo que esta sucediendo en Honduras ahora es un caos fabricado/organizado por Hugo Chavez, el cual, en dias anteriores a estas elecciones, mando a Honduras un grupo de expertos "organizadores de disturbios" para crear una situacion de "por si acaso no ganamos." Algunos Hondureños han llegado a sospechar de que el presidente Nicaraguense Daniel Ortega, quien es parte del grupo "amigos de Chavez" a enviado tropas adentro de Honduras para trabajar junto con la gente de Chavez en crear caos en Honduras.

Un numero de protestas han estado sucediendo en Honduras. Pero, tales protestas han sido organizadas por Venezolanos infiltrados en el pais. Reporteros han sido atacados. Propiedad publica y privada a sido destruida.

Hay tambien marchas apoyando a lo acontecido. Miles de ciudanos han salido a marchar para pedir paz en el pais. Los Hondureños quieren pas y le han dicho no a Zelaya y Hugo Chavez.

El gobierno Hondureño esta tratando de regresar a la calma, pero tal parece que la comunidad mundial no quiere tal cosa para Honduras.

El Mundo No Esta Bien Informado
El depuesto presidente se ha mantenido en contacto con organizaciones alrededor del mundo, inclueyendo las Naciones Unidas y las Organizacion de Estados Americanos, dandole a ellos la impresion de que Zelaya es una victima de un golpe de estado orquestrado por los militares. Tal no es el caso. Es un trajedia de que el mundo entero se una a apoyar un hombre el cual estaba tratando de violar las leyes constitucionales del pais para instalarle, perpetuamente, como president, como su amigo y complice, el dictador Venezolano Hugo Chavez.

Esperamos que la Secretaria de Estado, Clinton, y el Presidente Barack Obama, reciban la informacion correcta a lo sucedido en Honduras y que apoyen al pais en asegurarse que Zelaya no es permitido, por fuerza, regresar al pais como presidente.

Una victoria para Zelaya represanta una victoria para Chavez y Fidel Castro. No podemos permitir que dictaduras, enmascaradas como socialista, se impongan en Latino America, o el mundo.

The Reality in Honduras

Deposed President ZelayaThe world is completely unaware of what is going on in Honduras right now. The reality is that "President" Zelaya (pictured) was deposed of the title for trying to hold some sort of elections to, eventually, extend his presidency, just like his "friend and allied" Hugo Chavez has done in Venezuela. But, like the old saying goes "you can figure a few things about a person by whom he/she gets involved with." But, Zelaya's friends wasn't' the only thing bothering Hondurans; it was his actions of removing the top military general who didn't support his intentions.

What Happened
Venezuelan president Hugo ChavezSo, what happened? Zelaya was trying to hold a "consulting the people" election to see if they'd be willing, through constitutional changes, to allow him to be re-elected without any term limitations. Well, under constitutional law in Honduras, the president has no right, under any circumstances, to hold any type of elections. With the financial support of his friend Hugo Chavez, Zelaya brought in the voting supplies and boxes for this election to take place, and sent them to towns across the nation. But, all these "voting supplies" came directly from Venezuela. So, in effect, Zelaya and Chavez were working hand-in-hand to ensure a victory to their intentions.

"Mel" as the deposed president is known around the country, was also using his power to gain supporters, and get rid of opponents, to his agenda. He went ahead and fired the top general who publicly expressed his opposition to the president's unconstitutional elections. Mel fired him, to later rehire him. But, it wasn't because the president had a change of heart. No. Mel was forced to.

It has been reported by a number of small officials that they were victims of pressure from the president's supporters to sign/vote in favor of the president's intentions. Some hospitals refused to render medical care unless a favorable vote was cast right then and there. The complaints of abuse are many.

It has also been reported that Zelaya also had plans to completely disintegrate the Congress, who was against his agenda.

The President is Removed - No Military Coup
Nicaraguan Daniel OrtegaIn the early hours of Sunday, under the orders of the Congress and Judicial bodies, military members went into the Presidential House and arrested Zelaya and put him in a helicopter and flew him to Costa Rica. Once there, Zelaya proceeded to contact Chavez and Daniel Ortega (pictured) for their support. As expected, Venezuela and Nicaragua made their disgust with Honduras clear. Costa Rica allowed Zelaya to portray himself as a victim of a military coup. There was never a military coup. The military worked according to a request dictated by judicial bodies in the country.

Once Zelaya was removed from the country, Congress named Roberto Micheletti as the new interim president. In other words, Micheletti will only serve as president till January 2010 when is the already scheduled normal presidential elections in the country.

Again, there is/was no military coup in Honduras. Congress, and other judicial bodies instructed the military to arrest and remove Zelaya for violating the constitution.

What We Have Now
So, what we have now is a fabricated chaos created by Hugo Chavez who, in days prior to the election day, sent in his "professional riot organizers" to Honduras to ensure a "just in case we don't win" situation. Some Honduran have been suspecting that Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega, who is part of Chavez's group of "friends", has sent troops into Honduras to work together with Chavez's people creating chaos.

A number of protests are happening around the country. However, such protests are being organized by Venezuelans who were infiltrated into the nation. Reporters have been assaulted in the streets. Private property has been destroyed.

The Honduran government is working hard to bring itself back to normalcy, but it seems like the world doesn't want that.

The World Is Not Well Informed
The deposed president is talking to world organizations, including the United Nations, Organization of American States, portraying an image of him being the victim of a military coup. This is not the case. It's a tragedy that the world is uniting to support a man who was trying to violate constitutional law to set himself in power, just like his friend and supporter Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

We're hoping that State Secretary Clinton, as well as President Barack Obama, get the correct information and support Honduras in ensuring that Zelaya is not allowed, by force, to return as President.

A victory for Zelaya represents a victory for Chavez and Fidel Castro. The spreading of dictatorships, masked as socialism, is not what we need to spread around Latin America, or the world.
