The Honduran Battle for Washington

[3mh97]

They can't win the battle for Washington... American Miltaries are VERY strong.. Stronger than the Honduran Militaries...

[bapyou]

Wikileaks releases prove the Honduran coup was organized & supported by the CIA. What the fuck else is new? It's like old times, with Michael Jackson on TV, Ronald Reagan in office, and the Reagan-funded death squads roaming the countryside of Central America.

[UnoRaza]

"Fear of the new constitution."

The target of globalists world wide with the US Constitution taking the worst hits in our history while the people sleep.

[firstchino]

fuera mel zelaya,hijo de perra.

[ereyes28]

the REAL news?...please

i am not going to waste my breath informing you ignorant fools..

ignorance is a bliss aint it?

[reinhart567]

Honduras media has a version the rest of the world's media have another. All the countries of the world condemned the coup. Some mean it. Other beneficiaries of the dictatorship politically and economically like USA dont mean it.

[yvrgator]

LIES, LIES, LIES! 90% of the Honduran population support the new government as it's Honduras only chance to kee democracy alive. Zelaya is being used by Chavez to expand his New Socialist agend which systematically destroys all democratic institutions! Long live democracy in Honduras!

[reinhart567]

Yvrgator is the lie.

[yvrgator]

So what do you call it when a president gets rid of any radio or TV station that dares to criticize his government? Is this the wonderful freedom of speech of the new socialists? Liars! All of you new socialists/communists use the poor to advance your agenda!

[bapyou]

@yvrgator: el es un grande asshole.

[manueliramos]

it makes me happy that so many people are commenting over the situation on my country, but the truth is that here is very calm, and what the expresident zelaya did was a disrespect to our constitution, and when they said that the american school is behind this coup, i want you to know that zelaya had relation with one of the most powerfull families in my country the rosenthal that are invlolve in latinode case, he is part of the rich people in my country and he didnt do anythin for us in 3

[crnogoracz]

Don't insult our inteligence. Was curfew reinstated because it is so idylic and calm? I wish I could hear from people who are really being supressed, but I doubt they can afford interent and computers. And btw, we all know who "helped" write that constitution in 1982, and the ridiculous article of not being able to even mention second term...

[Capitalocracy]

Strict term limits are common in Latin American countries, with limitations like banning second terms or allowing multiple terms but banning consecutive terms... the idea is the same as the U.S.'s two-term limitation, just a bit stricter. All government documents in Mexico say "real democracy, no reelection". However, I agree that this article of their constitution is completely ridiculous. Any constitution which doesn't contain mechanisms for amendment is disfunctional.

[Azphreal]

I am looking forward to the US's invasion to protect democracy (as iraq turned out to be) but i will not hold my breath.

[elbowbiter1]

Dear Azph,

Me too, may the Hondurans suffer epically so that we can profit! Maybe once the world has been subjegated we can turn our attention to the over paid under worked workers of North America. The military can force them to work at gun point for a potato and a pack of smokes a week! Glorious times my friend! It's good to be rich ain't it! Yeeeeehaw!

Love Biter.

[blackiron60]

Even if it means invasion, this "interim" government of reactionaries has to be crushed if the people of Honduras are to know justice.

[discomfit01]

NEW CONSTITUTION..... LETS DO IT.

[666Qtip666]

and on the other hand if the people dont want the coup. then let then over throw the government.

[discomfit01]

easier said then done when your government beats the crap out of you everytime you assemble.

[666Qtip666]

well nothing worth doing is easy. but maybe the people of America should consider worrying about the problems which exist here. SINCE THERE ARE PLENTY. take for example our own out of control government. which shows a complete disregard for the civil liberties of people both domestically as well as people of other countries. on top of having a complete disregard for the rule of law, and the constitution.

[elbowbiter1]

Dear Qtip, Something tells me that putting the jack boot to the third world makes it possible for my realatively leisure life. Folk in "shitty" countries need to suffer big time so that I can buy my truck, camper, and jet ski. So I say let the babies be thrown from the walls in front of their own wailing mothers. I am NOT giving up my Jet Ski!!! Stomp on the nutts of the poor, I am NOT giving up my camper. And enslave the third world, I will always drive my big truck!

Love,

Biter

[666Qtip666]

the coup is a great for the people of the country, they are just standing up for themselves. maybe other countries should take it upon themselves to mind there own business.

[discomfit01]

The rich and powerful are standing up for themselves.

[captcrais101]

The school of americas is behind this coup

[y2knoproblem]

The CIA is behind it. The evil doers were trained at the school of americas.

[iratetruth]

The people of hondures are smart, brave people. Always reject socialist marxist ALWAYS reject them, if you dont your country will fall. Socialism is NOT good it only destroys a country making that country weak .

[studio7manga]

The US very likely gave the nod or even manufactured the coup. It's not like the US government hasn't done this sort of thing dozens of times before.

[mzambo666]

That was the first thing that came to mind when this happen

[hacktik101]

why the hell they askin the u.s. for help? sometimes you can only help yourself and the u.s. is gettin shity itself. liberty around the world is being surpressed and oppressed... it's going to get reall ugly in the next few months i know it... something in my gut tells me...we are all in toubled times today where the war seems to be against the haves and have nots, where de facto govs. run amock, for the benifit of it's own agenda despite the will of the people it professes to represent....hotep

[hacktik101]

may the CREATOR or GOD or whoever or whatever positive form of him you believe help to protect the women and children around the world from suffering. and give the men wisdom courage and strength to stand true.............

[discomfit01]

YEAH...cuz the guys are really fucking things up.

[EspartanoRasta]

hire lobbyist to get their Coup D' Etat going on track....

makes me sick

[EspartanoRasta]

"manueliramos"

eres un derechista aniñado que apoya a los GOLPISTAS

talvez tu tengas para vivir bien pero la gente pobre de tu pais se muere de hambre, de cualquier forma aunque las ideas o las razones digan lo que digan esta payasada no se puede llamr de otra forma que UN GOLPE DE ESTADO

[manueliramos]

this news is so fake , here in Honduras, no one has been arrested, we had one person thta died is true, but the same demostrators leaded by Hugo Chavez shot the young boy and they wanted more people dead but the airplane never landed, if you want more prof im willing to answer some question, I'm sorry about my english but my native language is spanish

[ceomeye]

you are fake...you are CIA, biatch..

[SilentHobo]

very believable. thanks for the mote of wisdom.

[CapitalistHolocaust]

The United States overthrew democracy in Iran in '53, in Guatemala in '54, in the Dominican Republic from '63-65, in Brazil in '64, in Indonesia in '65, in Chile in 73 & more recently they attempted to overthrow democracy in Venezuela in 2002 & now it looks like they are attempting the same in Honduras.

If the E.U. can stop aid, then the U.S. can stop aid too.

[charlessmyth]

The EU should be supporting Roberto Micheletti and his team, not adding to the hypocrisy running rampant, like an Ebola outbreak. However, Roberto Micheletti and his constitutionally valid interim government, can hang tough and virtuous until November, so that the constitution of Honduras, and the soundness of its 21st century democracy, is not destroyed by Manuel Zelaya, and Hugo Chavez and his cohort of 21st century, socialists who advocate the democracy of: One man, one vote, once.

[ceomeye]

wikipedia battalion 316 - CIA, school of the americas is involved with the coup...this is obamas first coup de-tat...

[michaelahenderson]

Keep the rich elite in power,, and keep the poor and hard working people down. Zelaya raised minimum wage 60%. And the new Government did a sloppy job with the coup. That coup was so clearly illegal. They have no evidence of him changing anything. He was working on reforming the constitution for more land rights and benefits for the PEOPLE ETC.. Just to name a few things.

[manueliramos]

you have no idea what we the people of honduras, zelaya is part of the rich elite that you are saying, he is part of the narcotraffic, and what he did with raising the wage he created more poor people cause they lost their jobs, so if you really want to know things about our country please read our constitution.

[TenseAlcyoneus]

manueliramos, leftists here will support minimum wages despite the predictably bad effects that price floors create in labor markets. It's not a reality-based ideology your contending with, it's a neo-Marxist religion.

I read your constitution thoroughly. I know Zelaya broke the most sensitive parts of the supreme law of Honduras.

Some of us get it. The neo-MArxists don't. They are the enemy of ordered liberty.

[studio7manga]

Your opinions are confused TenseAlcyoneus. I suggest you actually understand a position before you attack it.

[ceomeye]

shut the fuk up, sell out piece of crap..

[sirellyn]

The US is hardly now in a position to quote moral authority and make any decisions for any other countries. It should act internally to fix itself up first.

[GalenLW]

Because a non-binding referendum that would be counted after the next election (ie after he was out of office) would count as trying to extend his term.

[Knightshield]

good job Real News, keep it up

[galuiot]

the jews are to blame

[navtel]

america is behind this , sure as god made little green apples..

[rafen8705]

little green apples was buddhas doing!

[QzurK]

what the fuck is wrong with this world? so now, its about using influence to get the support of the US government? this is bullshit and the united states should obviously reinstate zelaya

[CaptainBluebear08]

@QzurK

In essence you are right, but apart from that ... : get real. We can be quite satisfied that they did not YET kill Zelaya ! The US is in the defensive and we'll get to see very dangerous actions from them, ESPECIALLY under Obama.

[seseljsrs]

Works for the Albanian and Croat mafia in the US, so why not Honduras too?
