s Obama Defending Zelaya's Attempted Coup in Honduras Because He's Planning the Same in the U.S.?
June 30, 2009 (LPAC) - American statesman Lyndon LaRouche today asked if President Barack Obama's support for last week's attempted coup d'etat by former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, is a reflection of Obama's own plans to try something similar in the United States.
"All indications are that that is the case," LaRouche asserted. "Obama is betraying the mentality of a fascist dictator. Is he headed for a dictatorship? The pattern points in that direction. He is driving feverishly to impose Nazi health reforms on the U.S. He is hell-bent on the worst kind of environmentalist cap-and-trade legislation. And his London-dictated economic policies have driven the United States, and all its 50 states, into bankruptcy. Just look at the horror-show that is taking place in California."
"Is Obama sympathetic to what Zelaya tried to do because the foreign forces behind Obama are headed for an attempted coup against the United States Constitution?" LaRouche asked.
LaRouche pointed to the essential facts in the Honduran case. Then President Zelaya attempted to organize a June 28 referendum to call a constituent assembly, which in turn was to modify the Honduran constitution to allow him to run for reelection in November 2009. But such referendums are unconstitutional in Honduras, and the Supreme Court and the Congress both rejected the Zelaya initiative on those grounds. Zelaya attempted to proceed by force regardless, and ordered the army to distribute ballots, and then cashiered the head of the armed forces when he refused to carry out the unconstitutional order. The Supreme Court then reinstated the fired general; the armed forced arrested Zelaya hours before the illegal referendum was scheduled to begin, and put him on an airplane to neighboring Costa Rica; and the Congress named its president Roberto Micheletti as acting president, until new elections could be held.
"They did the right thing," LaRouche commented. "The guy's trying to make himself a dictator through the referendum, and he had somebody behind him, some other outside force. And the people in his government caught onto him, and what he was up to."
LaRouche continued: "The guy was making a coup against his own Constitution. His own government and his own Supreme Court condemned him for crimes against the Constitution. And now many of the governments in the region, and Obama, are lined up to defend him. These guys are upset because they are afraid of their own people—including the President of Venezuela. Are these governments going to be stooges for Obama when he does the same thing in the United States?" LaRouche concluded
I think he meant 'portrayed' instead of 'betrayed'...although, 'betrayed' is more than apropos. ;^)
LaRouche asserted. "Obama is betraying the mentality of a fascist dictator.
Nicley said Lyndon. He'll be ridiculed as an extremist of course (which he is in many ways, like Ron Paul come to think of it), so I do hope that many other 'statesmen' compare 0bama's support of the Zeleya 'coup d'etat attempt to 0bama's non-military coup of a constitutional, capitalistic republic, because on this one, it's 'fake, but accurate'.
Honduras has more nads than the United States!
Maybe he meant “betrayed” in the sense that by his actions, Obama betrayed his own true motives and intentions.
I know dang never thought I would live to see the day.
It shows us how he is thinking. He envisions himself as dictator. That is why he and Chavez get along so well. We will have to do the same at some point.
I am shocked at the lack of response among Americans and especially CONSERVATIVES regarding Honduras. People should be freaking out..
Obama HAS ZERO understanding of the concept that a Prresident (Honduran or American) is UNDER the law as stated in their respective constitutions.
Would it, in the mind of the left, violate any principle to hold a referendum here, administered by ACORN, to have a constitutional convention to expand the President’s powers?
Where are the defenders of constitutional government?????
Well said.
Title VII of the Honduran Constitution (which dates from a 1980 Constituent Assembly in which no one party held a majority) holds that the President be limited to a single term and may not be re-elected. Also, there are a few provisions of the Constitution that are not subject to revision. The Presidential term of office is one of those exceptions.
There is no provision in the Honduras Constitution for a referendum of this type, especially when it would be administered by the President.
Under the Honduran Constitution, amendments can only occur by 2/3 vote of two successive National Assemblies.
We are freaking out!
July 4th is truely being celebrated in Honduras. To Zer0, it’s just another day.
I’m freaking out...believe me.
obamanation does not think he will have to let loose of power now that he has it. he has another think coming.... lies, lies and more lies eventually will be his downfall.... and “everything betrays thee who betrays Me” (Hound of Heaven)
I’m disappointed in all the talkies giving it so little time. This is the clearest indicator that O is a Marxist and our talkies failed to pick up the fumble. Even Rush called it a coup on the first day but corrected himself later.
Why are the Republicans not pointing out the obvious sympathies Obama has for fascist leftists?
Good question only one that I know of have said a peep about it.
