The State Department finds Lobo’s election and encouraging sign, but will not formally recognize it and calls it “insufficient” for Honduras’s “national reconciliation, given the gravit of the events” surrounding that country’s military and Supreme Court protecting its consititution.

Being on the wrong side is one thing; aggressively pushing for the wrong side is quite another

Gotta hand it to the State Department’s Thomas Shannon: he knows how to switch from patty-cake mode to Chicago strong-arm tactics when the situation calls for it.

If you thought there was more to the basic headlines this morning about a “deal” being reached in Honduras than what the MSM wire services were giving you, you were right, as Nice Deb demonstrates.  Peel away enough levels, and there’s George Soros.

This new twist does not vindicate the TCM’s position on this matter

Posted in latin america at 8:51 pm by Administrator

Honduran president Micheletti’s suspension of civil liberties certainly complicates matters, but it does not change the fact that the army and the Supreme Court were upholding the consitution when they whisked Zelaya out of the country.  Now he’s back in the country, holed up in the Brazilian embassy, and fomenting unrest.  Micheletti and the patriots of Honduras don’t have a lot of good options.

No friend of what is right, it turns out

Posted in latin america at 6:34 pm by Administrator

When the Lula administration came to power in Brazil a few years ago, a lot of observers, me included, were not encouraged.  He had a left-of-center track record and talked like that was the direction he would take his nation.  He actually proved to be a constructive player.  he distanced himself from the really left-wing leaders like Chavez in Venezuela, Morales in Bolivia and Correa in Ecuador.  He demonstrated respect for free-market basics.

Brazil has participated in something truly shameful now, though.  Its embassy in Teguchigalpa has given asylum to Zelaya.  That’s right.  The Chavista caudillo has returned to Honduras and is holed up at the Brazilian diplomatic facility.  Lula has called him, in fact, and, using the kind of language TCM-regime figures have used to distort the actual situation, urged Zelaya not to give “the coup” any pretext to use force.

Looking at the sum total of the developments can cause severe discomfort

Posted in Iran, National Security, Russia, Venezuela, World War III, latin america at 4:25 pm by Administrator

A few days ago, we posted a link to a story examining the ever-more cozy relationship between Iran and Venezuela.

The intestimable Michael Ledeen fleshes this out, demonstrating that it is a network with other actors as well.

It means us great harm.

TCM and his regime are reacting to it with appeasement, being getting on the wrong side of the Honduran situation being the latest example.

On the heels of Eric Holder’s decision to have a special prosecutor look into W-era CIA interrogation practices comes the State Department’s decision to cut off aid to Honduras and declare Zelaya’s ouster a coup d’etat.

Here’s another country that makes no apologies for its sovereignty

Posted in Culture war heroes, latin america at 12:10 pm by Administrator

The Oscar Arias-mediated attempt – by somebody or another – to get Honduras to go mushy on its own constitution has broken down. Only term in this BBC report I would take issue with is “crisis.” This isn’t a crisis. The Supreme Court and the Army tossed Zelaya out for illegally trying to extend his presidency.  Now things are back to normal and the OAS, the UN and TCM all need to shut up about it.

When is TCM cool with meddling?

Posted in Ideology, Nanny state intrusion, latin america at 4:17 pm by Administrator

When it’s in defense of the Honduran president, who tried to unconstitutionally hold a referendum on his continued rule.  This puts the TCM administration, by the way, on the same side of this situation as the Castros, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez.

Could TCM want to see this kind of tactic legitimized in case he needs to use it at some point?

And when is he not cool with meddling?  When it might interfere with his messianic fantasies of charming a similar regime in Iran into giving up its nukes.  Axelrod says talks with the blood-stained mullahs still possible.

A book too far

Posted in Ideology, latin america at 5:40 pm by Administrator

TCM made it official today in Trinidad.  He is not the president of the United States.  I don’t consider him the president of the country I have known all my life as the United States, and he doesn’t consider what we the citizens of the USA recognize as the USA to be the entity over which he presides.  He sees the political and governmental structure situated on this land mass as something else entirely. 

All bets are off.  I refuse to ever have to justify anything I say about this freedom-hating monster.  The sooner his unholy hands are pried off the lever of presidential power, the greater the chances we can revive the United States of America.

Not only did he seek out Chavez for a handshake, he accepted a gift from him, The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano, a book that asserts that the US and Europe have related to Latin America in an exploitational way.

That he accepted this stinking rot instead of telling Chavez to go to Hell tells me everything I need to know.

No one listened when we brought up Reverend Wright.  No one listened when we brought up Bill Ayers.  Ditto Frank Marshall Davis.  Ditto Rashid Khalidi and Raili Odinga.

This had better get the proper airing.  This is front-page, above-the-fold, max-font-size news.  We’ve been had by a hardcore totalitarian.
