HONDURAS OUTRAGED BY OBAMA-CHAVEZ ALLIANCE

I continue to receive messages from Honduran citizens upset at the international media for their distorted coverage of the situation in the Central American country. The people support the ouster of Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, who is considered a puppet of Venezuelan Communist ruler Hugo Chavez. They are mystified that an American president would want to return this Chavez puppet to power in Honduras.

Honduran wrote: “The recent action taken by our Congress is highly
supported by several organizations in support of peace and democracy:
the State General Attorney, the Supreme Court, the Armed Forces, the private
organizations and especially many young people. Mr. Zelaya broke the law
on several occasions even after the Supreme Court stated that it was illegal.
He had no respect for our laws and our Constitution.
“It’s not a new fact to the international media what are Chavez
intentions over Central and South America. And we in Honduras don’t
want that. We don’t want to go back to socialism or communism. We
still believe very strongly in our democracy and very strongly in our
freedom…We should be an example to Central American countries as
well as South American countries who have not yet been influenced by Chavez.
“May God bless our small but courageous country. And I hope the
international media investigate very deeply. Send your people here and
interview people from Congress and Supreme Court. Thank you again for
reading our side of the story. We want a democracy, peace, freedom, and
a president who doesn’t believe he is above the law.
“Many people don’t know where Honduras is, but after this,
they shall remember that Honduras said no to socialism and communism.
“I’d also like to say that I am shocked by Mr. Obama’s
comments. Doesn’t he know Mr. Zelaya is allied with Chavez? Doesn’t
he know that Mr. Zelaya wants to do in Honduras what Chavez did in Venezuela,
Morales has done in Bolivia, Correa has done in Ecuador, Ortega in Nicaragua,
as well as what Castro has done in Cuba?”

“As you already know we are living in a horrible situation in our
country and feel very disappointed and frustrated because we don’t
have the support of the international community.
“How is it possible that other governments support a liar, a corrupt
man, a ‘Chavez wannabe,’ as he is called in some articles,
who also has strong links to the drug dealing business?
“It’s amazing. They have made him a martyr. We keep writing
and writing and thankfully some people have responded. We now see articles
in the Washington Post, Miami Herald, New York Post, Wall Street Journal
to name a few, in favor or our actions and understanding it wasn’t
a coup. And to tell you the truth, they should have done this before!
He was out of control.
“I’m asking you, what more can we do? How can we get more
people to believe that what we did was the right thing? Have you seen
his speeches? Do you notice how incoherent he is? Do you see how he lies?
For us it is so obvious, and that is what I wonder... how is it possible
that people so well-prepared, so educated like the people in the U.N.
and the U.S. government believe him? How come they are now on the same
side of Hugo Chavez? Hugo Chavez talking about democracy? It’s unbelievable.
And it hurts.
“I love Honduras and it hurts to see that we are alone. It hurts because we have witnessed how he has stolen, abused his power and how he has created a huge war between the Hondurans. By paying poor people and promising them false things, he does have their support. He speaks to them about God. It’s amazing and sad. And now we see how this people who are badly influenced are vandalizing, destroying businesses when they protest. We had gone to marches, and they are all peaceful.
“We
are a poor and small country, but we love our country and we support the
Armed Forces as well as the new president.
“We don’t want a corrupt puppet of Chavez. What more can we
do?”
