Article 313 of the Honduran constitution allows its Supreme Court to deputize the Honduran military to carry out its orders, including removing politicians from office who seek to extend a president’s term.blockquote>

Be prepared to back up your words with hot lead, Hondurans.

I can assure you they are. Served as a Military Advisor with the Honduran Army in ‘88-89. Rarely Have I seen so patriotic men.

Little known fact. The Honduran army is full of young Sergeant Majors and Master Sergeants that got those stripes by killing insurgents. (When I say young, I mean most aren’t even 30.)

“The Honduran military will have no choice but to arrest Zelaya, which will give Argentina and Ecuador an excuse to send its military if the trio have guns drawn on them at the airport.” What? Do these guys have entry visas? I suspect not. So one alternative, is to order the plane to park in an isolated spot, have immigration agents board the plane, ask the non-Hondurans for visas, and, if they don’t have them, order them to stay on the plane while it refuels and then send them packing? Of course, it might be fun to watch Ecuador and Argentina “invade” Honduras!?! How would their troops get there, on scheduled flights of Aerolineas Argentinas? Oh wait, there aren’t any flights to Tegucigalpa. Ed, please, get real. But, after we stop laughing, the posturing of the assorted Latin American Chavez mini-mes and his puppet Obama would be funny if the chance for unintended consequences weren’t, unfortunately, real.

Oh wait those are all anti-Zelaya, anti Communist, anti Chavez protests. Good thing civil liberties have been suspended…oh wait…

here’s one of those non existant “prohibited” ones. Notice all the Zelaya thugs covering their faces with the red flags of the Communist Party. Here they are threatening civil war…

Dear gopers,Honduras today banned all civil liberties, like protests and illegal searches. But right, it wasn’t a coup. As long as the thugs in Honduras are on the opposite side of Obama you support the thugs. Because your pure hatred of Obama is greater than thugs in Honduras. Hows that make you feel? But keep listening to Rush, he will lead you out of the wilderness.

Iran.

That’s al lyou need to be hearing right now. Until you fucktards on the left start talking cogently about Iran, you have nothing…NOTHING…to say about coups and civil liberties and other shit you obviously don’t know or care about.

Obama’s behavior is just outrageous. I may have been disappointed in his soft response to Iran, but one could make a case for the being the right strategy.

But this. This! What the f#<@ ! We have a US president actively working towards reinstating a fascist thug when the democratic forces in a country kick him out .

And those who thought it was better to see McCain lose…happy now?

Chaz706, right now I’m not in a mood to have blind faith in anybody in the government. From the site I looked at earlier, it seems to me that the folks in Chicago had some strong suspicions and were frustrated by the lack of answers. I wonder what independent observers/analysts are used to protect the integrity of the voting system.

Even paper ballots have problems. I think we need to have surveillance cameras at the polling places every minute – broadcast live on internet so we the people can watch what’s happening even when (for instance) democrat precincts won’t allow independent observers in, or when somebody calls after the polls are closed to find out the count and the poll worker asks, “How many votes do you need?”

I’ve wondered about requiring people to scan in a fingerprint so that the final tally can only have the same number of people as there are unique fingerprints. That way if the poll workers are going to fill in 500 ballots after the polls close they need to come up with 500 different fingerprints. We may not know if Mickey Mouse voted, but we can know how many people actually voted.

Any computer programmer people out there? Is there any way for independent analysts to verify whether the software running a ballot system is able to be manipulated and/or WAS manipulated? Is it just a matter of blind trust?

justincase on July 1, 2009 at 4:24 PM

Only if the independent analysts are actually allowed to monitor the systems… even then it may be hard to tell.

So yeah… it is just a matter of blind trust.

This is probably the biggest case (in my mind) for paper ballots.

I was confused on that. Someone here had mentioned that the victim was black, but they must have meant the one who was injured rather than killed. I will see if I can get that changed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

The media is not reporting the news correctly. Everyone refers to this as a military coup, but the military only acted as “police” with approval and order from the Supreme Court and Congress. The military is not holding power in the government. And they did it to stop one more dictator from taking over a Central/South American country, specially considering that most of these are puppets of Chavez.

I find it funny that Ed suggests that if Zelaya is arrested upon arrival Argentina and Ecuador will start a war with Honduras. I am from Argentina and I can tell you that we only have the remnants of an army thanks to current and recent administrations. I am ashamed to have Cristina Kitchner lose times from important problems in the country just to follow some orders from Chavez (yes, she’s going because of orders from him just as Ecuador is).

Honduras was gutsy to make a move before their democracy (flawed or not) was turned into an autocracy. Since the majority of the country agrees in removing Zelaya, I hope they stay strong in the face the UN, Barry, and everyone else not paying attention to what was really going on.
