Obama’s man in Honduras claims Israelis torturing him with radiation

posted at 10:55 am on September 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

The man that Barack Obama insists the Hondurans should restore to power now claims that Israelis are torturing him with mind rays and toxic gases while holding out in the Brazilian embassy in Tegulcigalpa.  Manuel Zelaya, removed from office by order of the Honduran parliament and Supreme Court but still recognized as president by the Obama administration, says the current interim government has hired Israeli mercenaries, who beam radiation at his head from outside the embassy:

It’s been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.

“We are being threatened with death,” he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him. …

Zelaya was deposed at gunpoint on June 28 and slipped back into his country on Monday, just two days before he was scheduled to speak before the United Nations. He sought refuge at the Brazilian Embassy, where Zelaya said he is being subjected to toxic gases and radiation that alter his physical and mental state.

So this is the calm, rational leadership that Barack Obama envisions for Honduras!  Obama much prefers a president given to tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories and knee-jerk anti-Semitism.  At least this makes sense of the Van Jones appointment.

I’ve contacted the White House for comment.  If and when I get a response, I will add it as an update to this post.  In the meantime, regarding Obama’s curious attachment to Zelaya, I can only offer this refrain from one of my favorite poems, “Pig’s Song”:

It was early last September
As near as I can remember
While strolling down a lane in tipsy pride
Not a word did I utter
As I lay down in the gutter
When this pig came up and lay there by my side

Not a soul was I disturbing
As I lay there by the curbing
When this high toned lady come
And I heard her say,
“You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses” …

So the pig got up and slowly walked away.

I think we knew he was stupid and arrogant before, but not necessarily weapons-grade crazy as well.

The question here is “Who am I talking about, Zeyala or Obama?”

teke184 on September 24, 2009 at 10:58 AM

Maybe a tinfoil hat would help!

Better make it lead.

Is there anything the Israelis can’t do. I can’t wait to hear when Zelaya’s head explode or something. ;)

For Obama, the ends justify the means. But, man, he has the worse record for picking the wrong side. He must be wired this way. A coin toss would give better results. Loser.

WashJeff on September 24, 2009 at 11:02 AM

There’s a funny link floating around somewhere that has a couple guys actually running a bunch of experiments on tinfoil hats to see if that actually work. They found that the hats actually increased reception among many of the commonly used military frequencies.

Ultimate conclusion: Tinfoil hats were a counter operation by the military to trick paranoid people into wearing them so they would be easier to broadcast to.

thats because a “properly” designed Tinfoil hat has a grouding strap which you then plug into the Ground Prong in a wall outlet….

That way the Mind Control Rays are shunted to ground…

THE EVIL MIND RAYS!

MadisonConservative on September 24, 2009 at 11:12 AM

Obama wrote this poem:

UNDERGROUND

Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance,
Tumble in the
Rushing water,
Musty, wet pelts
Glistening in the blue

(Zelaya will be putting it to music shortly, thanks to the Mossad’s mind control beams.)

Is it any wonder that many countries in Latin America never seem to turn the corner when you have “leadership” like Zelaya’s? He is blaming a country that has absolutely no interest in the region for his troubles.

You know Sec State Hillary should be all over the news dealing with this and all kinds of other State issues. But it is sort of like she has been locked up in some dark dungeon someplace. I will give 2 to 1 odds for a $5 bet that she is going to either resign or get tossed under the bus before the end of Obama’s only term.

These types of power-hungry maniacs have a lot in common with Obama. Notice how he’s rejecting our friends around the world, while embracing these types? I wouldn’t put it past the left/Obama to try to get Obama into a perpetual “democratic presidency” like Chavez.

Or are mind ray powers something I have to convert to Judaism to earn. Are mind rays comparable to mind bullets?

Of course he can say that. I mean it’s pretty clear what the position on Israel is to our unfortunate choice for president. I mean why not jump on the bandwagon of the jew hater in the white house. The sob even stated the word “occupation”
