HONDURAS: AS NEW GOVERNMENT EXPOSES TRUTH, OBAMA PENALIZES THEM

On Monday, the 27th, sitting Honduran president Roberto Micheletti's Op-Ed appeared in the Wall Street Journal. On Tuesday, the Honduran government reports that FARC has been funding ousted president Manuel Zelaya.

As the new government continues to reveal more and more very unflattering and dubious facts about Zelaya, the U.S. State Department has announced that it has revoked the VISAS of four officials working for the Micheletti government according to BREITBART.

The announcement comes as the United States has been pressing for Honduras to allow the return of exiled President Manuel Zelaya.

So Micheletti enumerates all the reasons why Zelaya was removed for breaking his country's Constitution and Obama responds by thumbing his nose at Micheletti by telling his country's diplomats that they're unwelcome in the United States.

That's called CLASS boys and girls!

Again, Micheletti's Op-Ed is a MUST READ.

CHECK OUT THE TRANSCRIPT from the press conference held by State Department spokesman Ian Kelly.

The most telling part of the transcript is a question about aid to Honduras being suspended prematurely:

QUESTION: And one – one other on Honduras. I’m well aware that the Legal Adviser’s Office was examining whether the events in Honduras technically met their definition of a coup and therefore would trigger the cutoff in aid that I realize you have already suspended.

MR. KELLY: Yes.

QUESTION: Have you yet reached a determination on that question?

MR. KELLY: I’ll have to get you an update on that.

Did you catch that?

Obama suspends aid to Honduras for ousting Zelaya as president but still hasn't determined if he was illegally removed (a key criteria for suspending aid).

Again worth noting that Micheletti presents cold hard facts about Zelaya while we the United States behave by bullying him for presenting them because Obama supports Zelaya.

Amazing.

DID OBAMA OPEN UP GATES-GATE ON PURPOSE?

What was the intent of Obama's presser on July 22nd? Answer: To make the case for Obama-Care while garnering necessary Senate and Congressional support for it. Was the "acted stupidly" comment a calculated risk based on Alinsky-style tactics?

Possibly.

It's widely acknowledged that what killed Hillary-care in the early 1990's was the endless media coverage that came with laser beam-like focus on the details. The closer it was examined, the more it soured people. It wilted and died under intense spotlight.

Since this past July 22nd, Obama has been able to distract attention away from healthcare and re-direct it to an issue of race (a rather inflammatory one at that). Maybe he underestimated the backlash but then again, the bigger the backlash, the bigger the distraction. Besides, he was overheard saying that if the Healthcare bill is defeated, it would "destroy" his presidency. Perhaps it was a drastic measure chosen for a desperate time.

And guess what? Gates-gate is alive and well right now because Obama has decided to keep it alive with a Happy Hour at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue which is scheduled to take place ONE DAY before Congress' August recess is set to begin. Why not wait until the recess for the beers?

Guess what else? The tingley-legged Oba-Media has been fixated on the Cambridge race incident even when doing so is a loser for Obama. The mainstream media doesn't do that. So why would they in this case? Have they been instructed to?

Take a look at Obama's ideological hero, Saul Alinsky.

ACCORDING TO ALINSKY:

...the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. "The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."

If true, this would take Obama's tendency to throw friends under the bus to a new low because of what he's done to his friend Henry Louis Gates for the "greater good".

The White House has already conceded that Obama was expecting a question to be asked about the Gates incident so he had time to rehearse and rehash his response. There's even been banter about the person who asked it (Lynn Sweet) having it issued to her by the White House.

As I watched the 7/22 Presser, I remember rolling my eyes in disbelief at Sweet's question. It didn't fit the script, it was the final question, and it was an apparent innocuous softball that was completely off-topic.

And Obama continues to keep it in the news by having all parties involved over to the White House for a beer, which will serve as a further distraction from the Healthcare debate.

Then again, this many distractions would make anyone thirsty.

"If we keep on getting distracted by this problem, then we are not solving it."
- Barack Obama / November, 2007

Andrew Walden at Hawaii Free Press maintains that Obama is using this same Alinsky tactic to keep the Birth Certificate controversy going.

FARC! THE ZELAYA HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING

It appears that current Hondruan president may have written his op-ed about all the facts surrounding Zelaya a little early. It's now being reported that Zelaya was being funded by FARC. You know, that hardcore Marxist insurgency group?

Fausta's Blog is reporting that Micheletti government is speaking publicly about it:

Honduran authorities denounced on Monday the alleged financing by the FARC of deposed president Manuel Zelaya’s followers’ marches to the Nicaragua-Honduras border.

I wonder if FARC also bought Zelaya's bullhorn he used on the Nicaraguan border with Honduras to raise his ruckus.

GLOBAL SECURITY has more on FARC

Fausta Also did the Translation of what Honduran authorities said about FARC and Zelaya.

FBI TAKES DOWN JIHADISTS IN NORTH CAROLINA

The good news: Seven would-be Jihadists in North Carolina allegedly preparing to wage Jihad overseas were busted by the FBI. Six of them are American citizens.

The bad news: It doesn't appear that charges of treason will be levied against the six who are citizens:

The seven men arrested—including a father and his two sons—were charged with providing material support to terrorists and conspiring to murder, kidnap, maim, and injure people overseas.

Forgive my cynicism but haven't we learned from our experiences in how to handle terrorists.

Here's the FULL REPORT.

Since they don't wear uniforms, they're not POW's. Instead, they're enemy combatants that are supposed to be WORSE than POW's. However, enemy combatants are being treated better than POW's because there's no clearly established way of dealing with them. It has caused political fits for America.

Taking that one step further, let's take a look at domestic terrorists. Islamic terrorists seek to become citizens of the United States because they seek protections afforded by our Constitution (including the right to vote) while terrorists in this country who are not citizens don't receive such rights and protections.

Until we decide that domestic enemies of this country who are also U.S. citizens should be charged with treason, Jihadists will continue to see citizenship as another layer of protection instead of seeing it as a poison pill.

Bringing back Treason and narrowing the focus on citizens of the United States who are engaging violent Islamic Jihad would ultimately serve two purposes.

1.) A clear way of dealing with Jihadists who've become U.S. citizens in order to get Constitutional protections.
2.) A deterrent to violent Jihadist foreign nationals becoming citizens

ARTICLE III, SEC. 3 OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
