(6.29.09) -- New Honduran President Roberto Micheletti says that former President Zelaya will be arrested if he returns to the country, a position in opposition to that of Barack Obama.

Virtually everything you are currently hearing in the American mainstream media regarding the Honduras situation is false.

Manuel Zelaya was peacefully removed from power not as the result of a coup, but because he was illegally attempting to circumvent the constitution of his country in a failed attempt at increasing his own power.

Both the Honduran Congress and its Supreme Court denounced Zelaya's attempt at a power grab, and only after the former president refused to act within the confines of the law was the military -- acting as a law-enforcement body -- brought in to arrest Zelaya.

Zelaya is a stooge of Venezuelan dictator (and friend of Barack Obama mentor and domestic terrorist William Ayers) Hugo Chavez, which is why Chavez is threatening to invade Honduras after Zelaya's lawful removal from office.

Zelaya has lost all meaningful support from his Congress, the Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies and the general populace. His speech at the U.N. today was a last attempt for the would-be dictator to try to regain the status he lost due to his own illicit actions.

That Barack Obama moved to support Zelaya is about as damning a decision as any the current administration has yet made. It defies the rule of law, national sovereignty and makes the president's inaction on Iran -- where real injustice has taken place -- look even worse.
