In the summer of 1996, California’s Maxine Waters publicly accused the United States government of introducing crack cocaine into mostly black South Central L.A. She said the government was complicit in destroying the inner city. Thirteen years later, at the hands of the above, we are witnessing the U.S. actually abetting a drug dealer, Hugo Chavez. Hugo Chavez wanted to expand membership in his “Friends of Hugo” club and needed money to retain power. Oil prices were down but cocaine trafficking could fill the gap. It was becoming difficult to export drugs to the US from Venezuela, Cuba, etc., so a new “friend” was needed. Enter Manuel Zelaya, president of Honduras. Manuel had been helping move drugs but was facing the end of his mandated single term in office. Hugo wanted to help his buddy overcome the pesky Constitution and funded that effort. A Venezuelan Army officer discovered in Argentina with $800,000 was also part of the plot. Zelaya also had five thousand passports issued to Venezuelans, Cubans, etc., to form the vanguard of anticipated “pro Zelaya protesters”. There are photos of these imported thugs carrying bricks and rocks, to “protests.”
Chavez had Zelaya schedule an unconstitutional plebiscite to redraw the Constitution, sent the ballots, and even supplied the results! Zelaya stole 40,000,000 Lempiras ($2,200,000) immediately before his ouster. All of which is against Honduran law. On June 28, without a shot being fired, the Army, on orders from the Court, removed him from office. He was then flown to Costa Rica. Roberto Micheletti, the constitutionally “next in line” assumed the presidency.
There’s no doubt Zelaya intended to rig the vote and declare himself president for life.

Obama is planning a similar move with ACORN/SEIU but instead of drug money, he goes to the taxpayers.
Post this on your Honduras ping list (NYT article).
