Fake Democracies, now called ALBA Nations, Act Outside Normative Law and Order

July 10, 2009    ECrisis reminds our readers that el presidente Correa is devoting his life, as he has said for over 15 years, to recreating Cuba in Ecuador. He assists in this through the armed and loaded ALBA nations too. The government of the United States of America knows this well and for this, president Obama has declared Correa a true friend of the American people and a strong ally of his administration. Obama, with these words of treason, reveals his true self and it is not good. Here is a video short of Correa's Cuba, as seen factually for what it is while telling us the story of Dr. Oscar Biscet.        

This video short will be out in two months in a full documentary about Cuba and those few who stand for principles, heroes to defend man's rights. To this end, nothing- nothing that Correa or Hugo Chavez or Barack Hussein Obama or Zelaya or Ortega can do will break this truth. Why the United States of America acts to increase these ALBA nations is seen in the deteriorating popularity of every one of the above listed "presidents" of socialism and dishonorable government. We predict that there will be powerful shame attended to their acts today as each abandons their consciences for the fleeting enjoyment of power, such as they preceive it.

Here is some news...
 

Honduras Political Settlement Left in Hands of Arias, Officials
By Daniel Cancel
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- A solution to the political crisis in Honduras has been left to delegations assigned by deposed President Manuel Zelaya and interim leader Roberto Micheletti after the two avoided meeting yesterday in Costa Rica.

The delegations met with mediator Costa Rican President Oscar Arias at his residence in the capital, San Jose, last night and will talk again today to try to resolve the nearly two-week stalemate. Arias yesterday called for patience and perseverance.

“The two sides are very far apart and these things take time,” Arias said. “I’ve always said that dialogue can produce miracles, but not immediately unfortunately.” Arias won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for brokering an end to Cold War-era conflict in Central America.

A settlement will likely take time as both sides accuse the other of violating the Honduran Constitution. Zelaya, 56, was put on a plane at gunpoint by the Honduran military on June 28 and sent to Costa Rica after ignoring court orders to reinstate the military chief after the general refused to help organize a poll seeking changes to the constitution.

Zelaya and Micheletti, both dressed in dark suits with red ties, met separately with Arias yesterday on the condition that they wouldn’t have to meet face-to-face, Costa Rican Information Minister Mayi Antillon told reporters.

Micheletti stayed at the airport several hours after arriving in San Jose as he sought to guarantee his security. He was eventually accompanied by Arias’s brother Rodrigo, who is minister of the president’s office.

Personal Meeting

“With all the resistance, we’ve begun talks and the only thing remaining is a personal meeting between the two, but it’s not yet the moment,” Antillon said.

Micheletti, who left Honduras for the first time since being sworn in as interim president, said he was “totally satisfied” with the talks and returned home the same day. Zelaya will remain in Costa Rica for now, according to the information minister.

Protesters from Costa Rica’s Socialist Worker’s Party, waving red flags, gathered at police barricades near Arias’s residence during his private meeting with Micheletti. They chanted: “Micheletti, fascist, you’re the terrorist.”

The leaders remained entrenched in their positions. Zelaya said he must be reinstated as president and Micheletti said his interim government would hold previously scheduled presidential elections on Nov. 29, backing away from his comment last week that he would be willing to hold early elections.

Honduran Delegations

In their absence, Honduran officials including Zelaya’s foreign minister Patricia Rodas, ex-foreign ministers Milton Jimenez and Carlos Lopez and the former president of the Supreme Court Vilma Cecilia Morales will look to reach an accord.

While the interim government in Honduras has institutional support from the Supreme Court and Congress, it is facing international pressure after the Organization of American States voted to remove Honduras as a member and the U.S. cut military aid to the Central American nation.

Arias, who forgot Micheletti’s name during yesterday’s evening news conference, said any agreement would have to involve Zelaya returning to Honduras.

“It’s difficult to talk about a successful negotiation that doesn’t involve the restitution of Zelaya as president,” Arias said. “The dialogue has to continue and eventually it will have to be them two that reach a deal.”

Protecting Their Own: The International Community Sides With Zelaya
By Brian Garst
Liberal institutionalism is a branch of international relations theory which holds international organizations in high regard. Liberal institutionalists believe that such organizations can promote peace by fostering cooperation between states. Honduras is learning the hard way how this same cooperative structure can also be abused by dictators to assault democracy, while the response by the international community at once reveals both the folly of placing too much faith in such organizations and the shallowness of the West's rhetoric on liberty.

Let there be no doubt that the situation in Honduras is not ideal. Supporters of democracy should never wish to see elected leaders removed by force; yet sometimes there is little alternative. Given the recent string of populist, left-wing strongmen in Latin America - such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez - who have successfully rewritten their nations' constitutions, undermined democratic institutions and rolled back liberal freedoms, the legislative and judicial branches of Honduras were right to be concerned over ex-President Manuel Zelaya's intentions in calling for a referendum to explore constitutional change. In response, the Honduran Supreme Court ruled this act unlawful while the congress even passed a new law making perfectly clear the illegal nature of Zelaya's plan.

When the head of the Joint Chiefs refused to provide logistical support for the referendum on the basis that it would be in violation of the law, Zelaya sacked him. He then blamed the growing political crisis on "some sectors that have promoted destabilization and chaos." These sectors, we must take it, include every political branch of the Honduran government other than Zelaya, as he has acted without even the support of his own party.

Although he tried to cast blame elsewhere, it is clear from his actions that the primary instigator of the crisis has been Zelaya himself. After dismissing his highest military officers, an act which prompted the heads of all major branches to resign in protest, Zelaya personally led a mob to storm an air force base where Venezuelan-printed ballots for the referendum were being held.

When the courts ordered General Vasquez reinstated, Zelaya not only refused to comply, but also wrapped himself in left-wing populism. "[The Supreme Court] only imparts justice for the powerful, the rich and the bankers," he told his supporters before adding, "[it] only causes problems for democracy." Zelaya has apparently confused himself for democracy. Hugo Chavez often expressed similar views on his own country's court system before eventually packing it with allies in his constant quest to undermine Venezuela's democratic institutions. Honduras decided it would not wait around for Zelaya to do the same.

Fed up with Zelaya's illegal actions, and accusing him of "preparing his own coup by conspiring to shut down the congress and courts," as Justice Rosalinda Cruz put it, the Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant for Zelaya. The warrant was the culmination of an investigation that had been underway for weeks. It was also unanimously approved by all 15 judges. It was under this authority that the military acted when it shuttled Zelaya out of the country. The military then immediately stepped aside so that civilian authorities could follow the legal process for appointing a replacement.

The international community, previously uninterested in Zelaya's illiberal actions, promptly responded with righteous indignation and demands for Zelaya's return. Democracy, they proclaimed against all fact or reason, was not under assault by Zelaya, but by those who removed him. The Organization of America States, with the support of the Obama administration, demanded Zelaya be immediately returned to office with no additional limits on his presidential powers. If Honduras did not comply, the OAS threatened a suspension of their membership along with economic sanctions.

Washington even joined Venezuela and Bolivia in cosponsoring a UN resolution condemning the removal of Zelaya as an illegal military coup. The U.N. General Assembly, where only 90 of the almost 200 world leaders represent nations that are ranked fully democratic by Freedom House, unanimously voted for the measure. Barack Obama then had the gall to claim that he would "stand with democracy," all the while carving out a position indistinguishable from that of Hugo Chavez and his client states. This kind of international circling of the dictatorial wagons is to be expected from a mostly undemocratic body like the U.N., but change has indeed come to Washington when even the United States cannot differentiate between illiberal Latin American leftism and real democracy.

Apparently neither President Obama nor anyone in his administration has bothered to read the Honduran constitution, which prohibited even a proposal of reforming the term limits placed on their president. Article 239 states,

"No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform, as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years."

This provision is easy to understand given the history of Honduras, where, like many Latin American nations, the people have suffered under years of military rule. In 1982 they carefully crafted a constitution that finally allowed the nation an orderly return to democracy. Unlike other Latin American constitutions, this one has been able to stand up to rabble-rousing, referendum-using populists precisely because some sections may not legally be repealed by any means. Zelaya, in even attempting to remove his term limits, forfeited his office long before the military showed up on his doorstep.

The prospect that such a system might successfully fight off illiberal strongmen has Latin America's remaining socialists deeply concerned, and so they have been working tirelessly to see their partner in crime restored to office. Chavez and his Nicaraguan buddy, Daniel Ortega, have both threatened military action against Honduras. Yet the White House is too busy condemning the enforcement of the Honduran constitution to take issue with this bullying. The OAS, which recently welcomed Castro's still communist Cuba back into organization's fold, even hypocritically dusted off and trotted out its democracy promoting charter to justify the suspension of Honduras. Honduras promptly and rightfully told them to shove off, and left the discredited body.

Democracy promoting institutions like the OAS have been utterly compromised by the inclusion of illiberal, anti-democratic strongmen.  Proponents of allowing undemocratic nations to participate in international organizations have long claimed that such engagement will enhance the spread of freedom to those countries.  The opposite has turned out to be the case.  While nation's such as Cuba have not become more democratic, the West has decidedly become less willing to defend liberal democracy.  The language of democracy has now become a tool for the undemocratic, used to fool the willfully blind while petty, would-be tyrants rip apart the very institutions they claim to be protecting.

Until recently the United States has at least rhetorically stood against these efforts, but America's new President, in all his cowardice, has decided to surrender the language of freedom to those who would deny its application to their own people.  The fledgling - yet still bravely democratic - government of Honduras has stood strong despite this betrayal.  It is a sad day that sees America abdicate its once proud role as the beacon of freedom in the world.  I pray that they can forgive our governments now that the people of Honduras have been left in the dark, abandoned by the supposedly free nation's of the world, to find their own way.

Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, the Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, and a Cardinal, strongly warned against Zelaya's return to Honduras, which could lead to a "blood bath." Rodriguez, in a televised speech on July 4, asked the Organization of American States (OAS), which has demanded Zelaya's restoration, to examine the "illegal deeds" under Zelaya's regime.

"To the Organization of American States: we ask that you pay attention to all the was happening outside the law in Honduras and not only what happened starting on June 28," Cardinal Rodriguez said, reading from a statement approved by the Honduran bishops. "The Honduras people are also asking why the warlike threats against our country have not been condemned," he continued, by implication referring to invasion threats by Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. "If the inter-American system is limited to protecting the system of ballot boxes but not to monitoring good governance and the prevention of political, economic, and social crises, a belated reaction in the face of these will be worth nothing to the international community."

Pray for the Church in Honduras  -In this link you can watch a video that explains the Honduran Constitutional process.

 


ECrisis notes that the Church has not abandoned Hondurans but the Obama administration definitely has. the Cardinal knows something that the Clinton-Obama-Soros team do not want you to know: the ALBA constitutions, like the Cuban regime, will censor the Church just as they censor all inalienable rights.

Why these actors think it is clever to create structural and political harm to freely worshipping Christians and Jews is not known to us but seriously, it is unlawful and needs to stop. Garst writes, "Democracy promoting institutions like the OAS have been utterly compromised by the inclusion of illiberal, anti-democratic strongmen.  Proponents of allowing undemocratic nations to participate in international organizations have long claimed that such engagement will enhance the spread of freedom to those countries.  The opposite has turned out to be the case.  While nation's such as Cuba have not become more democratic, the West has decidedly become less willing to defend liberal democracy.  The language of democracy has now become a tool for the undemocratic, used to fool the willfully blind while petty, would-be tyrants rip apart the very institutions they claim to be protecting.

Abandoning Honduras is a metaphor for all that Soros stands for and indicates precisely why he steered the U.S. Democratic Party to install Obama:

Did Chavez have an influence on Sunday's violence?
Ferdsblog has a new post up on El Heraldo's story "Chavez planned a slaughter in Honduras".

While events were unfolding at the airport, Telesur was broadcasting live from Chavez's office. There are military messages on the white board that seem to indicate Chavez had an influence on Sunday's violence.

I do not have time to provide my own translation of this article because I am heading to a meeting, but Google or Yahoo's translator program can provide a rough translation. 

 

More influence peddling:
 
Today, Conressman Engle [D-NJ] hosts what is called a "Hearing" featuring 5 pro Zelaya, aka pro Chavez, actors, all co funded by Hillary-US AID-Soros funds.

All six will speak to tell us that Obama and Chavez are right. Only one Honduran and one American- `Mr. I Did Not Start the Coup in Honduras' will not represent George Soros and Zelaya-Chavez. Five to one odds are huge... a stunning preference for biased presentations. Shamefully, the Republicans let Pelosi's hacks get away with calling this fair and balanced when it is a propaganda show for Zelaya-Obama.
