The Brazilian delegation in Honduras confirmed to AFP that Zelaya is on the premises of its embassy in this country.
Followers. "I make an appeal to the crowd to join you at the Embassy of Brazil and President Zelaya found there," said Enrique Flores Lanza, an official of the ousted president. buscar
Technically, he is still NOT in the country.
Embassies belong to the country they are for.
Constitutions are words, just words.
A brazillian people is a lot.
Correct. ZeLiar is still in Brazil.
Right technically he is not in the country, but the Hondurans just need to kill him. That is the only solution to the problem of a would be tyrant who will not obey the law.
Brazil is playing a dangerous game.
Were I in charge in Honduras, troops would be escorting everyone in the former embassy out of the country. Zelaya would be shot trying to escape.
I also lack patience.
Is it more than a trillion
Immediatly break relations and close the embassy. Then he will be easy to catch and kill.
Too bad the embassy is considered ‘sovereign foreign soil’ in this instance.
Of course, they could declare the mebassy to be null and void, and give them a set amount of time to vacate.
Especially since Zalaya isn’t there for benign reasons.
What is this, a vanity thread with no link? What does “this country” mean?
The ousted former leader claims to be back in Honduras.
why dont they surround the embassy with partols to make sure he never leaves? Just asking...
Stupid move by Zelaya.
Honduran citizens will not allow him to escape. Rioting begins in 1/2 hour.
Oh, he’ll have to poke his head out eventually, I’m sure the Honduran army has some trained snipers...
My concern on the other thread (he was thought to be in the UN building) was that the pretext would be for a UN "police action."
My concern if he is in the Brazilian embassy is whether Chavez is in cahoots with them (e.g., a "mutual defense" treaty) and this is a setup to provide Chavez with cover to attack Honduras.
Of course I guess it can be assumed that Chavez figures he doesn't need a pretext...he's Chavez. LOL
What a horrible, deceitful evil thing for Brazil to do. Well, Brazil and Obama, because Brazil sure wouldn’t have done it unless they had gotten the green light from the OAS, the UN and Bambi.
Every time when I think I can’t get more disgusted at the man, he reaches yet another low and I do get more disgusted.
This garbage played out a lot better when the “peasants” were ignorant and disorganized, like perhaps Cuba half a century or so back. Thanks to modern day technology, the majority of Hondurans seem to be neither and understand him for what he is.
I’m wondering if the USA may be helping to hide him? Hmmmmmm?

Our prayers are with you. Be careful.
Dittos to that.
From the link:
“Well, if the US knows he’s in Honduras and the UN says he’s not in their compound, then the US must either be hiding Zelaya or coordinating with another nation to do so. The State Department needs to explain itself — soon.”

Is the US hiding Zelaya in Honduras?

Here’s a strange story just breaking out of Tegucigalpa. Former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, deposed by a coordinated action between the parliament, the Supreme Court, and the army, claimed this afternoon to be back in the capital and at the UN compound. Zelaya asked for his supporters to gather there to allow him to reclaim his post, and people have begun arriving. The US confirmed that Zelaya was back in Tegucigalpa, but then the UN categorically denied Zelaya was inside their compound.
Is the US hiding Zelaya?
Deposed President Manuel Zelaya said Monday he has returned home to Honduras to reclaim his presidency, defying threats of arrest and summoning supporters.
While the State Department confirmed on Monday that Zelaya is in Honduras, his exact whereabouts were unclear, possibly in an attempt to avoid capture.
“I cannot give details, but I’m here,” Zelaya told the local TV Channel 36. His voice, but not his image, were transmitted.
He said initially that he was at the United Nations headquarters in his homeland, and Elisabeth Sierra, a spokeswoman for the Honduran Embassy in Nicaragua, where Zelaya had been exiled, reiterated the claim.
“He is in Honduras and calling the resistance to gather in front of the United Nations and protect the constitutional president of Honduras,” she said Monday.
But a spokeswoman at the U.N. offices in Tegucigalpa told The Associated Press he wasn’t there. “I have no idea where that story came from,” said spokeswoman Ana Elsy Mendoza. Nonetheless, Zelaya supporters were gathering outside the U.N. compound, said U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas in New York.
Well, if the US knows he’s in Honduras and the UN says he’s not in their compound, then the US must either be hiding Zelaya or coordinating with another nation to do so. The State Department needs to explain itself — soon.
That could be considered an act of war, could it not?
Whichever embassy is sheltering him needs to be expelled and now. Even if its the US embassy.
This is, in my estimation, an act of war.
We’ve got to get this usurper out of the White House. This guy is giving me the hives. Prayers for you in dealing with your usurper and pray for us in dealing with ours.
Shut the power off, shut the water off, blockade the doors no food and then wait.
The Communists are getting payback for the US giving shelter to Cardinal Mindzenty in its embassy in Budapest for many years.
Oh, he’ll have to poke his head out eventually, I’m sure the Honduran army has some trained snipers...
++++++++++++++
Is Jack Bauer and team handy? Recall when they entered the Chinese embassy in a dark op? They didn’t go to kill anybody, but somebody got killed in the crossfire (talking about “24” now..)
was thius Zer0’s idea?
My concern if he is in the Brazilian embassy is whether Chavez is in cahoots with them (e.g., a “mutual defense” treaty) and this is a setup to provide Chavez with cover to attack Honduras.
+++++++++++++
Forgive my ignorance - is Brazil that far left?
You better ask the Russians... They are probably guarding Zelaya with Spetsnaz (and Venezuelan Special forces and Cuban DGI).
Thanks to modern day technology, the majority of Hondurans seem to be neither and understand him for what he is.
+++++++++++++++
Hopeful for this.
My first thoughts when I saw the reports about this a few hours agao: Obama probably had him flown in on Air Force 2.
They tried to do this in a civilized fashion by removing him to Costa Rica.
I guess the only language Marxist dictator wanna-be’s understand is violence.
If I was Mr. Micheletti (sp?) I’d order him shot on sight.
and trust.
:)
I agree. Honduras should not attack the Brazilian embassy. They should kill him if he tries to leave. They should have killed him when he tried to reenter the first time.
If I”m not mistaken, many of the Hondurans are furious and sickened by what’s happened to Venezuela and US America.
If I was Micheletti, I’d not get too worked up. Don’t want to provoke an excuse for the UN to invade.
Maybe an announcement: “Honduran officials are aware that Mr. Zeleya enjoys the hospitality of Brazilian hosts. As a sovereign territory Mr. Zeleya is welcome to enjoy his stay; however, should he decide to stroll off the premises, Honduran police will be obliged to detain him and place him under arrest for violations of the Honduran Constitution and pursuant to the arrest warrant issued several months ago.”
Wondering if the Obama/Soros connection with the huge Oil find in Brazil comes with strings manipulating Brazil like a Marionette to the wants of the Soros.
Hiding the ousted renegade Presidente of Honduras in their Embassy isn’t something one would expect from Brazilian leadership IMO, but then perhaps I need update my knowledge of that Nations Politics.
my suggestion too.... just make a inpenetrable human chain around the embassy...seal him in... smoke him out!
I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't matter who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in this saga: an embassy inviting and giving sanctuary to a fugitive from the host country is completely unacceptable.
Honduras should simply kick them all out of the country -- not by force, but by edict.
He’s now an illegal alien!
It’s tradition to hide the deposed Presidente on embassy grounds. It has happened many times over the last fifty years. Ex-Presidents are rarely shot,as the current President has to consider his future as well.
In this case, I would add treason to the other charges. The trouble comes only because of the Joker in the White House. Impeach and convict Obama. Convict and sentence Zelaya.
That means the Brazilian embassy to the United States.
