I think someone failed to mention Lanny Davis.  I am sure Hillery is embarrassed by his connection to her. You can bet she is embarrassed with her money grubbing ex husband president who would sell his soul for some jingle in his hip pocket.

It is no secret to anyone who has done their homework that zionists have had their hands in Mexican and South and Central American politics for decades.  Just look at all the censored news of zionist subversion that has taken place south of the border. From the capture of two Israeli terrorists armed with grenades, Glocks, and C-4, about to blow up the Mexican Congress on Oct. 10, 2001 and how this front page story was immediately erased within a week as well as their quick release at the insistence of Israel, to the capture of the Israeli "diplomat" caught at the airport in Argentina with a briefcase full of explosives, to the coup attempts on Chavez, to the embassy false flag in Argentina, and many more stories that disappeared from public view exactly in the exact same manner that the US media censored and erased the capture of 200 Israeli spies arrested in the USA in the weeks following 9-11 with proof of direct involvement in the 9-11 attacks via the front, Urban Moving Systems, out of New Jersey . Their 5 famous "dancing Israeli's" employees driving around NYC on 9-11 celebrating with "Arab costumes" with their famous quote, "We are not your problem, the Palestinians are your problem"?

I could go on and on but it's very apparent that Newsweek is slanted towards the neocon view of things, as is all mainstream media in the U.S. I think that the comment by "ellabee" and the  Al Giordino's naroconews.com link proves that this is not the ravings of a madman. THis is a president of a nation and in fact was supported by the USA at first.  Again, very predictable how zionists ridicule leaders when they speak the truth and it sheds light on their criminal behavior. Just read the text of the Ahmadinejad speech at the UN and you will s what I am talking about. It was easily the most honest and revealing speech of the conference. Kaddafi's speech was also excellent. Both were aggressively ridiculed, misquoted, and censored.

The last thing Zelaya did was raise the minimum wage. How long did it take for the USA to raise it's minimum wage despite the tanking of the dollar?  Look back at the past 30 years with 20 of those under rightwing rule and you would see that our working wages have only risen 20 percent while gas, groceries, and rents have gone up 300-400 percent!

Zelaya was removed because of fears that he and Hugo Chavez had plans to form a larger anti-Israeli coalition of countries in South and Central America. The idea that he was removed for economic/class reasons makes little sense, as he was installed as the representative of business interests, and had moved only slightly left.

"bolero-toting"??  Ms. Paul, if you're referring to Pres. Zelaya's trademark cowboy hat, I think the word you're looking for is 'sombrero'.

It's worth noting that Frances Robles, who clearly set out to paint Zelaya as unhinged in the Miami Herald, has so far in an exchange of emails with a reader failed to produce quotes from her interview with the president that substantiate the sensational statements with which she led off her story.  See comments to this post for more details: http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/3460/honduran-coup-regime-mocks-un-security-council-embassy-attacks

But it's also worth noting that there's nothing imaginary about the chemical and sonic assaults on the embassy by the Honduran police and military.  Numerous photos document  (see link above), and journalists inside the embassy confirm, that the Honduran police and military have repeatedly used the U.S.-manufactured LRAD sonic weapon against those inside the embassy.  

The 150-decibel device :: is  for fending off insurgents, dispersing crowds, flushing out buildings, maintaing port security, and telling people "not to come any closer," says Marine Capt. D. J. McSweeney. Thirty-three inches in diameter, the LRAD plays MP3s and prerecorded warnings in several languages and has an adjustable screeching tone. "It's very, very irritating," says American Technology's Carl Gruenler [the manufacturer]. So irritating that human-rights activists are worried about lasting hearing damage.::  (from a November 2005 article about the weapon)   Direct exposure to it for more than a few seconds is indeed torture, and its manufacturer says that it does risk serious injury to targets if used at distances less than 300 yards.  

Just a few hours before Katie Paul posted this, the Honduran forces launched gas canisters at the embassy, and gas did get inside.  About a third of the people there developed symptoms, including bleeding from the nose, vomiting blood, and extreme irritation of the mouth and throat.  After the OAS's Inter-American Commission on Human Rights publicized the reports of these effects from Zelaya's wife, doctors were finally allowed in to the Brazilian embassy on Friday afternoon and have confirmed them.  It's still not clear if it was "ordinary" tear gas or something more toxic.

What's left to mock?  The very mention of Israeli involvement.  Until Robles produces Zelaya's actual words on the subject, getting superior about the president by repeating her hostile, sloppy mash-up is not a lot better than sending along one of those hate-filled emails.

Home grown Chavez?  Are these can do everything profit screw (YANKEE WASPS and others)  the local indigenous people people going to win. I call on all evangelical missionaries, and carpet bagger Yankees go home and let Latin American live in peace.

    Finally, more indisputable reasons to question our blind support of this would-be dictator.

    A lot of dictators started out as elected and used the same levers of power that Zelaya was playing with to move 'beyond' democracy and its safeguards.   That the Honduran system was able to halt his blatant power-grab isn't a failure of democracy, it's democracy defending itself in the face of an ugly situation.

   There is no reason for the civilized world to be trying to stop Honduras from protecting itself from a homegrown Hugo Chavez, or Hitler (which is a fair comparison in light of these insane allegations against Israel).  He's made it clear that the system that removed him was justified.

Put the elected president back in office and arrest and put in the justice system those responsible for this criminal act. I am convinced in the coming weeks Lanny Davis a former Clinton operative name will appear as part of the cabal in the overthrow of an elected politician. As for the Israelis they are trying to micomanage there image while they live  within a weakening image of half truths and lies.

The world is finally coming to see what happened here before June 28th. What we did was to defend democracy and freedom. We were hours away from becoming a Chavez state were there is NO democracy and NO freedom of any kind. Zelaya did open our eyes on the tremendous social differences and made a valid point that we Hondurans need to do something to bring the quality of life as well as opportunity up for the so many poor thta we have. That is the good about all of this. But he is not capable of handling a presidency. He was not interested on the poor, he was interested in power. Just look at his lifestyle. The poor were going to become poorer with him, just as in Venezuela that even with the millions of dollars sold everyday, people are poorer and with no freedom. Zelaya must give it up and support the elections if he loves Honduras as he says. And his followers?? they fell short of being good and honest Hondurans. Their modo is to destroy, steal and create caos. Is this the group of people that will transform Honduras and make it better??? I don't think so. Judge them by their actions.

Ms. Paul blatantly ignores three facts that Zelaya was democratically elected, that the de facto regime leader was not, that her petty little piece has little effect on his massive support both in-country (60% approval rating as of April 2009) and throughout the world (not one single country has recognized the de facto regime as legitimate).  Ms. Paul, don't insult our intelligence.  And if you hope to be taken seriously, tone down you OWN rhetoric.

Zelaya is living on borrowed time in that Brazilian embassy.  He would do better to leave the country and run his campaign from there.  Then if it don't work out he won't be in prison or worse.

Dear sirs, i'm honduran, as i posted on bbc, best way is to have election in november ( with mel or not), is easy for people in the "1st world" to have coffee chat or debate "democracy" in conference room with this, but in the streets and thanks to mr lula, insulsa, mrs. clinton and our fellow latinamericans we have another oportunity to rip our heads off each other here ( no need for help of the honduras armed forces), this is no tom clancy story there is real people very concerned with this, by the way, honduran supreme court issue orders to have zelaya out ( our bad was to have him packed to CR but this was to avoid this type of disturbs), his supporters leaders have waited +20 years for this oportunity to make a mess. Please help with the elections not with the matches.

I cannot believe you are supporting the coup. Maybe you'd like to see a coup in this country. Did you enjoy Reagan's secret wars? Is this Newsweek or the Weekly Standard?

Mr.Weissman, please review the Honduran constitution before you comment further.  

Katie Paul doesn't seem to take the notion of democracy very seriously.  

Imagine if Mitch McConnell colluded with some right wing military leaders to stage a coup against President Obama and John Roberts and Antonin Scalia said it was fine with them.  Would anyone consider this an acceptable turn of events and just tell President Obama to get over it and stop being such a sore loser.

As for Jamespad's comment, getting your co-conspirators to say that your illegal coup is kosher is a little like a pedophile saying he's done nothing wrong because he has the full support of NAMBLA.

 It is disturbing to see the USA not acceptiing the removal of Zelaya ordered by the Honduran Supreme Court (in a unanimous vote) and its Congress (122-6, with five dissenters being members of the Honduran communist party and with all of Zelaya's own Liberal Party members in agreement.    In her report for the Congressional Research Service, CRS senior foreign law specialist Norma C. Gutierrez stated:

"The Supreme Court of Honduras has constitutional and statutory authority to hear cases against the President of the Republic and many other high officers of the State, to adjudicate and enforce judgments, and to request the assistance of the public forces to enforce its rulings."

   She also asserted:  "Available sources indicate that the judicial and legislative branches applied constitutional and statutory law in the case against President Zelaya in a manner that was judged by the Honduran authorities from both branches of the government to be in accordance with the Honduran legal system,"

   Why do Obama and Hillary continue to demand that Zelaya be reinstated when our highest level of research concerning the legality of issues has stated that what took place was indeed proper.  Why are we not instead rewarding the Honduran government for keeping itself from being taken in a Chavez-Venezuela socialist direction (when its actions were legal and only taken after Zelaya had REPEATEDLY violated the Honduran constitution?
