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.

If this is really the serious opinion of the former President of Honduras, I can only conclude that his election must have been assisted by an outfit akin or allied with ACORN.
And Obama, we judge a man by the company he keeps. Follow my drift?
jwolf on September 24, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Yeah, because, you know, Israel is completely focused on some Obama-backed tinpot idiot who can’t even avoid his own soldiers trying to seize him, instead of concentrating on Iran trying to “wipe them off the map”.
MadisonConservative on September 24, 2009 at 11:30 AM
How ’bout he hole up at Reverand Wright’s mansion, it’s bigger than the Brazillian embassy.
Bet they have a lot in common, too.
NoDonkey on September 24, 2009 at 11:32 AM
And, in unrelated news…
The Whitehouse today directed the FCC, and the Pentagon, to do a new study of possible mind control radiation in the US.
When questioned as to why, an unnamed Administration source said “the President is convinced that there is some power working against overpowering Charisma, or Health care would have passed alread”.
Romeo13 on September 24, 2009 at 11:33 AM
Not only Zelaya, but also Van Jones and Rev Wright. Coincidental?
Vashta.Nerada on September 24, 2009 at 11:33 AM
Seriously, Zelaya makes Chavez look calm and rational in comparison. That quote early in the thread of “weapons grade crazy” is right on the mark.

So they train snakes and pigs to attack the palestinians. Make special gum to corrupt their youth. And now they have a special brain wave machine that makes people go crazy.
Now that is thinking outside the box.
Joe Caps on September 24, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Perhaps elduende can confirm this for us, but I believe that Zelaya is the Spanish word for meshuga.

Yet another nutjob. I guess he’s qualified to be on the 0ne’s payroll. Oh, but he must cheat on his taxes too.

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.
I say she quits by the end of the year and runs for Governor of NY.

Maybe the UN can add him to their list of speakers for next years lineup of crazy and bizarre world leaders who we are supposed to take serious, although Hugo may not appreciate the competition, which is getting tougher daily in the unhinged dictator category.
BTW I think Go Daffy definably bet Chavez’s tirade from last year.

El (ex!) Presidente Zayala looks and acts like a certifiable LOCO. No wonder our President Obama (PBUH) and our brilliant Secretary of State Hillary Clinton want to support and reinstate him as presidente por la vida in Honduras.

Proof once again that liberalism / socialism / statism / marxism / communism rots the mind. But birds of a feather flock together–and The Messiah and his minions recognize a fellow RED ROBIN in Zayala. They like the “cut of his jib”.

Zelaya: The Jews have recruited a highly trained mercenary force of killer tomatoes to invade the Brazilian embassy. I know the tomatoes were grown in Florida so the US is complicate with the Jews.
I also truly believe if the tomatoes fail, Godzilla will finish the job working at the behest of the Jews.

Usually when that happens I just go to the dentist have the wires of my braces re-tensioned. Instead of getting those Israeli radiation frequencies, then I just get cooking shows, although you don’t even want to know what they’re cooking.

Thank you bro. I appreciate that Christians are lenient with Israel in the not-being-too-forgiving department. One thing I loved about living there–it was nice to live in a country where I felt like nobody was going to be able to take this Jew’s lunch money, without some serious pay-back.

Then her credilbity is destroyed by having to publicly support this whackjob.

Keep in mind as soon as Zelaya started inciting his Marxist supporters to “overthrow” the Honduran government from the roof of the Brazilian Embassy, on Monday, it lost its immunity under international law.
LOL!
elduende on September 24, 2009 at 12:12 PM
And it never occurred to the nutbar that maybe the Brazilians are behind it?
Crawford on September 24, 2009 at 12:12 PM
They would not be able to do anything. These cretins routinely aid each other and now the cretin in chief is also aiding and abetting this farce. Nothing to do now but root for the Hondurans and hope we can stop our cretin before too long.

Harry Schell on September 24, 2009 at 12:18 PM
From the story quoted by elduende, above:
So Brazil broke off diplomatic relations and now their embassy is being used as a staging site for the leader of a failed coup?
You’re right, elduende — that embassy building lost its status as Brazilian territory.
Crawford on September 24, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Yep. And the incitement of his Marxist supporters and exhortations to rebellion using bullhorns from the rooftop of said building further killed any immunity they enjoyed under the Vienna Conventions.
elduende on September 24, 2009 at 12:22 PM

Fred Thompson just quoted Irving Kristol, arguably the father of neo-conservatism, author of The New Cold War, 1975.
Kristol’s point that Fred made was that our President, Obama, has yet to learn a tantamount basic lesson. In order for the US to attain the respect from world opinion, the US must first respect itself, respecting our entire founding philosophy that serves as the basis of our nation’s history.
maverick muse on September 24, 2009 at 12:35 PM
A state-run media journalist busting a gut over that? Doubtful.
He probably thinks Israel’s denial is proof that dem dirty Jooooz are lying once again, and that this constitutes proof of Zelaya’s claims.
Gator Country on September 24, 2009 at 12:35 PM
“The Dirty Old Man”
as told by a British friend.
RobCon on September 24, 2009 at 12:35 PM
That makes Colombia, Peru, Chile, Guatemala, Israel, Taiwan, and Panama giving the Hondurans quiet support.
elduende on September 24, 2009 at 12:40 PM
Wise words. Having heard snippets of yesterday’s Obama tour de force fiasco at the UN, I’d say we’re in real trouble.
elduende on September 24, 2009 at 12:43 PM
I had a death ray when I was a kid…you pull the trigger and sparks came out of the gun…I didn’t know it would have been so useful.
But I think this is what he is referring to…don’t ask where this secret information regarding the death ray is found.
But Russia had promised Obama that they would dismantle this death ray, if Obama took the defense system out of Eastern Europe…Israel may have stolen this and is using it on the bit “Z”.

I am counting on HotAir not revealing where I got this…

He stole money from the Treasury. Is that close enough?

Now the Hondurans need to make sure Zelaya does not walk out of that Embassy unless its in handcuffs.

FUNNIEST thing I have seen all week. Yesterday we found out that the JOOS killed JFK and today we discover the existence of their mind-altering Jew Beams. It’s like that fruit roll-up commercial or whatever it was: “What will they come up with next?!”
Yup, I think I’m now referring to folks like Quaddafi (sp?) and Zelaya as Fruit Roll-ups. Fake, fruity, and they stick to you like glue.

So is the IMF funding a Coup by the Zelaya cronies – money for them to pay the Chavez armies to defeat the jooo death beam, okay all kidding aside, money for Chavez or some other despot to overthrow the constitutional government in Honduras?
All those little countries supporting Honduras and each other – it looks like a real David and Goliath at the UN.

On the other hand, is there such a thing as too much Jim Beam?

It’s always the Jews, isn’t it? Idiots. Denial of the devil’s existence gets harder and harder.
Grafted on September 24, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Brilliant. Better than a denial, even better than a “no comment”. “Could not confirm” will only stoke the fevered imagination of Zelaya.
I mean, it’s possible that some ex-IDF guys are working as mercs. Israel has had military ties with some Latin American governments. So if a nutjob like Zelaya wants to talk about secret Israeli ray machines, I say hand him a shovel and tell him to keep digging.
I’m just wondering how Zelaya was able to sneak himself past all those clever Jew mercenaries and get into the Brazilian embassy.

Being mad as a hatter and a socialist are much the same thing.
Dhuka on September 24, 2009 at 4:17 PM
Bibi’s always put me off with his personal ambition, but he’s very strong on policy both domestic and foreign. Israel has one of the more vital economies in the world due to policies he put in place with the help of Natan Sharansky when Bibi was prime minister the first time and even more so due to privatization and other initiatives he pushed while finance minister 5 years ago.
Since Sharansky has left politics (he got tired of resigning in protest), Bibi’s probably the best choice Israel has right now.
rokemronnie on September 24, 2009 at 4:18 PM
Have you noticed that Obama never seems to manage more than one priority at a time, and then he needs someone to figure it out for him. Guess that is what organizers are all about, finding one prority and hoping someone eles will take care of it for him.
