What I don’t understand is how is Mel taking the law into his own hands, opposing the courts, and trying to coerce a constitutional change that will allow him to keep and expand power, how is that democracy or in any way good for the people? It looks to me more like grabbing power for himself.
Talk is cheap. The golpistas are not relunctant to tell lies. They think it is in their best interests to spread false rumors. Truth is ten times more powerful than the dirty, selfish lies of the golpistas.
They are enemies of democracy and the truth, two things that apparently scare the hell out of them. They are lost souls, and are in no position to lead. They need to be locked up very soon.
Luckily the hand of time moves forward – and those who have traditionally been last, are now going to be first.
Now, it is time for power to go to the people and an end to the military industrial complex.
Social democracy is working very nicely in Europe and elsewhere. The fools who are fighting it tooth and nail in Latin America are fighting in vain. They might as well try to stop the sun from rising. The might be able to slow progress, but they won’t be able to stop it.
One should be wary about this site. Who is really asking for the donation? Where is it really going? The reason I pose these questions is considering the fact that the last thing Mr. Mel Zelaya needs is money. First: Hugo Chavez is bankrolling Mel to the tune of Millions of Dollars. Secondly: Mel has his own vast resources from the Hundreds of Millions of Lempiras he stole from the Honduran people and his cut from Narco-trafficking.
So be careful people someone is playing on your sympathies here.
Honduras Elite will no longer decide for the our population.
Oh right, I checked out narconews and it’s so incredibly biased with sereral obviously ridiculous articles. Not worth the mouse click to go there. Sir Castrozilla, clense your mind from the fraud or at least balance it with the other sources.
Narconews?? wow sounds reliable.
The financial support Zelaya’s group has received since the coup is mere chump change compared to the support extremists in Washington have given to the golpistas. The evil ones are united in their hatred for democracy and Hugo Chavez. Thankfully, they are destined to fall from power.

“In recent days, Narco News has reported that, in the three months prior to the June 28 coup d’etat in Honduras, the US-funded Millennium Change Corporation (MCC) gave at least $11 million US dollars to private-sector contractors in Honduras and also that since the coup it has doled out another $6.5 million…

I saw this info before. They are taking up for people who set a bus and restaurant on fire, and then attacked the firemen who tried to put out the blaze. These zelaya supporters are criminals and Amnesty condemns the police for trying to defend the firefighters? What about THEIR human rights? As I have seen since the VietNam war, there are certain people who make their living (MONEY, HELLO!) from being activists. Any cause will do from murdering babies to marrying gays. Now they have seized on Honduras and Zelaya. They side with communists, but they are capitalists in reality. You should see how much NARAL officials make from selling baby parts if you don’t believe me. Leftists think with their emotions, not their brains, that is why they jump on every bandwagon or ’cause’ that comes along and these activists/capitalists profit by it.
What people can’t see happening in Honduras?
We know Chaves is behind all this mess. I feel sorry for Mr Zelaya, he doesn’t have the drive to make decisions on his on. Is too bad he let Chaves control him. I think deep in his heart he wonders or perhaps regrets THE DAY, him and Chaves met. All he had to do is to see the kind of life Venezuelan people are having. Why would anybody like to have a President like Chaves, if all he needs to do is open his mouth and immediately proof his ignorance and how uneducated he is. Words and behavior speaks by it self.
Mr. Chavez, you just will keep on pushing, ha?
Well push all you want, because yor regime will never take over Honduras, it does not matter who you hide behind, human rights, well, it would be great if they saw all humans as having rights, not only the leftist protesters, the ones that are trying to throw the country into a messy and blody disaster.
Mr. Chavez, you have already shown your disregard for your own people in Venezuela, now you are training Mr. Zelaya to be your puppet down to the ‘t’, even when it comes to incite the killing of his own people.
You are horribly dirty, your hands are stained with blood and your breath is putrid with the rotten flesh of those you have had killed, well, in Honduras it will be different as always, we defeated communism before, and we will again.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!IT HAS COME TO THIS, WHERE AS WE ARE NOW FUNDING ROCK THROWERS,FIRE STARTERS,THIEVES AND TERRORIST??????FOR GODS SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF HONDURAS AND ITS PEOPLE, WAKE UP……..zelaya IS A CLOWN AND A PUPPY ON A LEASH AND EVERYONE KNOWS WHOS ON THE OTHER END. HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF, NOT FUNDED
