With Amy Goodman (Democracy Now)
“I think the United States is going to lose a great deal of influence in Latin America if it does not turn the coup d’état around,” Zeleya says. “It will not be able to put forth its idea about democracy. It won’t be credible before anyone.”

"I realize that President Barack Obama and the State Department were not involved in the coup, but some very conservative sectors in the United States, sectors of the extreme right wing, have a double standard."
ReplyDeleteIt is my view that we have entered a new era of stealth and plausible deniability by the current US administration. Who knew full well that nothing that Zelaya did was illegal, but chose to use the wording of the coup instigators who spoke of the presidents "illegal actions" and everything terminating on his being "re-elected to office." All of this is just a sign that this administration in Washington does not want another star in the Central and South America constellation of participatory democracy.
All of their words (US administrations) to the contrary of complicity are moot because there has been no significant cutting off of the coup instigators in Honduras, nor has there been any withdrawal of the US military base (some of the coup leaders being graduates of the School Of The Americas). This administration is acting as if they can do nothing to stop this coup process - I don't buy it. Specifically in light of the history of the US in this region. Even if the link is not as strong as I am saying between the coup leaders and the US government, the US government is specifically responsible for building an elite in Honduras that becomes so alarmed and is bequeathed which such power, that their elite franchise is going to be threatened by participatory democracy and they can exert such illegal force. The U.S. Government and the elite in Honduras might not be working for the total ousting of Zelaya, but they are working together in a battle of attrition, to see the people of Honduras get no where near a participatory democracy.

Has Zelaya returned to Honduras yet? No, I didn't think so.
