Honduras Defends Democracy; Fidel & Hillary Object
Details on the events leading to the anti-Zevara coup in Honduras that you won’t see in the MSM: Zelaya was trying to rewrite the constitution (with help from Hugo Chavez) through an illegal referendum.
“Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chvez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.
The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vsquez Velsquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.
Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court’s order.”
