Honduran presidents can only serve one 4 year term. Zelaya wanted to change the constitution to allow himself another term. Virtually the entire Honduran congress voted against the measure so Zelaya wanted to do it by a referendum vote which is illegal under the existing constitution.

Zelaya decided to do it anyway and called Venezuela to conduct the election for him against all Honduran laws. The Honduran supreme court ruled it an illegal action and the military arrested him with all constitutional authority.

In my opinion, calling Venezuela in was an act of treason. This was no coup.

But our state-run media continue to call it a military coup which is another all too typical treason against the truth.

I did a bit of research as well and, as you have said, Zelaya needed to be taken out of office. The military did the right thing and removed him.

The “noise” that’s coming out of the White House is clearly the sympathetic voice of a “fellow traveler” that is another failure of the worldwide socialist agenda.

Too bad the same project hasn’t been stopped here in the US, but Congress is a gutless beast of late. Hopefully, they’ll grow some. Just work like the devil for the next election.

Thank you. It is as I suspected. The “noise” from the White House is merely the anguished cry of a fellow traveler lamenting the failure of the socialist agenda.

The military did the right thing. Good for them.
