WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) - The World Bank has "paused" all program lending to Honduras following a military coup in the impoverished country, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said on Tuesday.

"We're working closely with the OAS (Organization of American States) and looking to the OAS to deal with its handling of the crisis under its democratic charter," Zoellick told reporters, "In the process we have put a pause with our lending."

This is a litmus test for the world.

The world communist cabal is showing it’s hand.

Anyone supporting the marxist wannabe dictator Zelaya over the constitutional government of Honduras, well if it squawks like a duc, UN, IMF, Castro, Chavez, Ortega, bet if imanutjog wasn’t so busy, he’d be squawking too.

Wait, what did 0 say ?

"We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras," Obama said.
"It would be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the era in which we are seeing military coups as a means of political transition rather than democratic elections," Obama said. "The region has made enormous progress over the last 20 years in establishing democratic traditions in Central America and Latin America. We don't want to go back to a dark past."

And he got in another cute insult against the country of which he is nominally POTUS:

Speaking of the past, Obama noted that the U.S. has "not always stood as it should" with democracies in the region. That, too, seemed to draw on the doctrine he promised to the region while in Trinidad in April, a view that the U.S. strengthens its hand by confessing when it has strayed from its own values.

When has the World Bank expressed concern about the seeking of tyranny in Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua—and Honduras prior to its citizens acting peremptorily to prevent, yes, tyranny?

That tells you where the World Bank is. Backers of the world wide march of Marxism. Another one to put up against the wall.

Search on key word OAS. We’ve been talking about this, the FTAA and the “free trade” socialist revolution for years.

Yes, it’s pretty funny to see the lefties defend 0bama on this after all their whining about global corporate interests. Useful idiots or hypocrites, take your pick.

Zoellick was the US trade representative for Bush for years.

He carefully set into place globalist dictators with our tax money to assure the coup to global government would go without a hitch.

America it’s time for your Honduras moment. If a politician or bureaucrat doesn’t support constitutional government then good riddance to bad rubbish! It’s time to clean the House and the Senate and the Executive Branch!

Quite a few have lost their jobs. Many have lost their homes. Is it time yet? Or do we need to wait until we are buying confederate candles for an hour of light that has to last for a week?

Seems 0bama will exert economic pressure on Honduras to that Hugo Chavez clone back in. His fingers are all over this

He’s up to his jug ears in it but Soros is more likely pulling his strings and other strings.

What, “pauses” until they recognize their “error” and put the law-breaking would-be dictator back in charge?
