"What a revolting predicament this has turned out to be"....
Or should it be phrased, "What a banana republic, this continues to be?"

Son más de dos meses en resistencia, la crisis política siguen en caminada al vertedero de posiciones y ubicaciones, el pueblo en resistencia jala por su lado cada quien con sus convicciones, algunos extremistas y algunos aburridos.

Call the State Department at 202-647-6575 or 202-647-4000 and ask for Secretary Clinton. Deliver the following message: "Legally define the de facto regime in Honduras as a military coup and ensure that the coup plotters will be held responsible for the killings and human rights abuses."

The 5th delegation of international observers maintaining presence in Honduras since the coup denounces the grave human rights violations perpetrated by the state security forces, including the national police, the Command of Special Operations COBRA, and the army.
On the 46 day of peaceful resistance against the coup regime, the armed forces and the police repressed protest with force. Hundreds of police and military occupied Tegucigalpa, using tear gas, pepper spray, and live bullets.

The US continues military aid to Honduras despite President Obamas condemnation of the illegal coup. The New York Times quoted president Obama to saying that We do not want to go back to a dark past, in which in which military coups override elections. The Public Affairs Officer of the School of the Americas / Western Hemisphere Institute of Security Operations (SOA/ WHINSEC) confirmed to the NCR July 14, 2009 that WHINSEC continues to train Honduran soldiers at Fort Benning.

Zelaya wanted to hold a non-binding referendum, which the local elite described as a power grab. In reality, Hondurans would simply have been asked whether they wanted to vote in Nov. to elect a constituent assembly to rewrite the '82 Constitution — Zelaya's successor would have been chosen the same election.
A more likely motive for the coup lies in the Honduran oligarchys fear of the people writing their own Constitution.

The official reasons for Zelaya's ouster was that he violated Article 239 which prohibits even expressing any opinion in favor of changing presidential term limits. Coup-president, Micheletti, had called for the same in 1985. He tried to get the Congress to declare itself a Constituent Assembly.
Then, no one was exiled. Then again, the president back then did the bidding for the oligarchy.
Zelaya based the constitutional proposal on a bottom up approach with the people taking charge.

In Ecuador, traditional parties and wealthy elites labeled Correa "dictatorial" after the president called for the drafting of a new constitution. In the end however a large plurality of voters approved the new 2008 constitution which provides for free health care, a universal right to water and prohibition of its privatization and the redistribution of large unused landholdings. The constitution declares that Ecuador is a "pacifist state" and outlaws foreign military bases on Ecuadoran soil.

The major problem with the report was: It wasn't a coup d'etat. If you did more research on the subject, you'd find out that Zelaya took himself out office after violating Honduran constitution 374. Which is a self-activating clause stating that any person in political office who attempts to change the presidential term or term limit cannot hold office for the period thereafter.
The which BOTH the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court unanimously ruled on. The military followed the rule of law.

There is no evidence that Zelaya ever claimed to want to extend his term. And more importantly, the referendum he proposed for opening a constitutional assembly would have taken place at the same time as November's presidential election that Zelaya is barred from participating in. This means that his replacement would be named long before the details of a new constitution would even be debated.

Instead of ordering a Public Opinion Survey, as he had worded the previous decree, he now changes the words to read, Public Opinion Survey Convening a Constitutional Assembly. This changes the legal interpretation of this decree entirely, and wouldve allowed for an immediate Constitutional Assembly to convene and disintegrate the three powers defined in the Constitution, effectively interrupting Constitutional Order.

With the publishing of this decree in the Gaceta, President Zelaya himself kicks into motion Article 239 which states that whomever changes or attempts to change Article 4 (an unchangeable petreos article protected by Article 374) relating tothe alterability of the presidential position, will be immediately removed from public office and lose his/her constitutional powers.

As soon as the decree was published, President Zelaya automatically stopped being president and became a regular citizen. (see my first comment, last paragraph.)
