our response to the Honduras "agreement":
This is not a victory; it's a US State Department manipulation!
In our view, the agreement signed today is neither a victory for President
Zelaya, nor for the people of Honduras.
? Any agreement that restores President Zelaya to office without giving him
control over the military ? the same military that carried out the coup! ?
is a victory for the coup forces, or an outright trap.
? While the two parties have signed an agreement, the demands of the
Honduran people ? for a constitutional assembly and the restoration of
democracy and constitutional law ? have not been addressed.
? The agreement does not create space for free and fair elections. In fact
it directly aligns the coup military with the Supreme Electoral Commission
appointed by Micheletti. (This same Supreme Electoral Commission was just
invited to Washington, DC last week by right-wing Cuban-American
Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), where they testified to Congress
that "nothing has changed" in Honduras since the coup.)
? The agreement has not ended the repression and human rights violations;
and it remains to be seen whether repression will intensify in the days to
come.
The struggle continues! Today's complicated and convoluted news is not a
victory, but a temporary setback. We will be sending more analysis and
action alerts as the situation develops; stay tuned!

Hi all, this is my attempt to analyze the recent agreement. shaun

Was justice served in Honduras?

Shaun Joseph analyzes the U.S.-brokered agreement that is supposed to end
the months of repression that followed a coup against Manuel Zelaya.

November 2, 2009

FOUR MONTHS of political crisis in Honduras have apparently come to an end
with the signing of an
agreement<http://quotha.net/docs/honduras/10.30.09.Dialogo_Guaymuras.pdf>[1]
by representatives of the legitimate President Manuel Zelaya and the
head of the coup government, Roberto Micheletti.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking from Pakistan, congratulated
the Honduran people for the "historic agreement"--without neglecting to note
her own role in the process.

In its statement<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/2009/10/comunicado-no-32.html>[2],
the leading organization of the grassroots opposition to the coup, the
National Resistance Front Against the Coup d'Etat, celebrated the projected
reinstatement of Zelaya under the agreement as a "popular victory over...the
pro-coup oligarchy"--even though Zelaya's return to office is not formally
guaranteed.

The agreement, arising out of negotiations called the "Guaymuras Dialogue"
that began in early October, stipulates the following:

-- Formation of a "Government of Unity and National Reconciliation," to be
installed no later than November 5, comprised of "representatives of diverse
political parties and social organizations."

-- Renunciation of the call for a Constituent Assembly to rewrite the
constitution (Zelaya's organizing of an advisory referendum on a constituent
assembly was a motivation for the coup).

-- Support for the next general elections and a transfer of power on January
27, 2010 (the elections are currently scheduled for November 29, although
the agreement does not specify a date).

-- Putting the armed forces under the control of the Supreme Electoral
Tribunal for a month before the elections.

-- Consideration by the National Congress, in consultation with the Supreme
Court, of "the return of the title of the Executive Power to its state
previous to June 28"--that is, the reinstatement of Zelaya as president.

-- Formation of a Verification Commission, coordinated by the Organization
of American States, to monitor compliance with the agreement, and a Truth
Commission, to be organized by the next government, to investigate "acts
that occurred before and after June 28."

-- Normalization of Honduras' international relations.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

THUS, THE heroic struggle against the coup has come to a mixed end.

Many people, myself included, felt that the coup regime's days were numbered
after the secret return of Zelaya to Honduras on September 21, when he took
refuge in the Brazilian embassy. This turned out to be an incorrect
forecast--the golpistas (coup-makers) were able to hang on to state power
and eventually suppress, although not crush, insurrectionary protests in the
most important cities of Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.

The regime required extreme measures against the anti-coup movement,
including a September 27 "state of siege" decree that stripped Hondurans of
their civil rights. Although international and domestic pressure compelled
Micheletti to announce to the press that the decree would be repealed, that
repeal was never published in the official government newsletter, leaving
the state of siege in force. This trickery indicates the problems inherent
in any agreement with the golpistas.

The Guaymuras Dialogue had collapsed completely by October 26 due to the
intransigence of Micheletti's representatives, who refused any formula that
might imply the return of Zelaya.

An agreement was only reached with the personal intervention of the U.S.
government's representatives, Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon
and Daniel Restrepo of the National Security Council. After months of
delaying, the White House finally put serious pressure on the golpistas, and
a deal was cut on October 29, the very first day that Restrepo and Shannon
participated in meetings.

This substantiates a point that the resistance made all along: that the coup
was tacitly supported by the U.S., and could have been stopped at any point
by serious American pressure.

The conditional language of the agreement notwithstanding, it is fairly
certain Zelaya was promised that Congress would be forced to agree to his
return to office. Zelaya told Radio Globo that the agreement "signifies my
return to power in the coming days."

The resistance front has always insisted on Zelaya's return as a condition
for accepting elections scheduled for November, a position reiterated on
October 30 by the resistance leader Juan Barahona. If the oligarchy wants a
clear road to the elections, it will need to accept Zelaya. So even though
Congress has a golpista majority, it is likely to reinstate Zelaya. Thus,
Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo, the National Party's presidential candidate, said, "We
are willing to be cooperative in Congress with the agreement of the
negotiators."

However, the golpistas' arrogance often overtakes their good sense, and they
may yet try to "pull a fast one." Marcia Facuss? de Villeda, a vice
president of Congress and scion of the Facuss? family, one of the pillars of
the country's ruling elite, told Bloomberg News, "Zelaya won't be
restored--I don't think so." Another high-ranking legislator, Antonio
Rivera, suggested the restoration could be filibustered. Most ominously,
Arturo Corrales, one of Micheletti's negotiators and a signatory to the
agreement, suggested that Congress was not even obliged to come into session
before the elections.

Having helped bring about the agreement by pressuring the coup regime, the
U.S. will likely discover it needs to continue to push the golpistas to
prevent them from wriggling out of their obligations under the deal. Taking
a hard line will not come naturally to the Obama administration, which has
so far treated the golpistas with amazing mildness. Furthermore, the U.S.
government's top man, Assistant Secretary Shannon, is up for confirmation as
ambassador to Brazil, giving him reason not to offend Republican senators
sympathetic to the coup regime.

All that said, the restoration of Zelaya remains likely--although Zelaya
certainly erred in accepting an agreement lined with so many potential
traps.

Fortunately, the resistance front is not bound by the agreement--Barahona
withdrew from the Guaymuras Dialogue in mid-October.

Although the resistance is often seen as a strictly "melista" (pro-Zelaya)
movement, this is not the case. It developed independently, for the most
part while Zelaya was not even in the country, and it is led by
representatives of the popular organizations of the working classes, not
politicians.

The agreement compels Zelaya to drop his advocacy of a Constituent Assembly,
but this does not apply to the resistance. In fact, the Front's communique
of October 30 reiterated that "the National Constituent Assembly is an
irrenouncable aspiration of the Honduran people and a nonnegotiable right
for which we will continue fighting in the streets." Although Zelaya's
enforced silence on the issue will not be helpful, it will be easy to
explain--and it expires on January 27, 2010, when Zelaya becomes a private
citizen again.

If Zelaya is reinstated and the state of siege lifted, a boycott of the
election--which has been the position of the resistance so far--is probably
not viable. A united left-wing presidential campaign by Carlos Reyes,
president of the beverage workers union STIBYS, could advance agitation for
the Constituent Assembly and help the resistance measure its popular
support.

The resistance must avoid electoral illusions, though. The polls will
represent the conservative countryside and tourism zones beyond their social
weight, and there is no way an openly anti-oligarchy candidate will be
allowed to win. The state--both its elected shell and its bureaucratic
core--remain under the control of the oligarchy, so extra-parliamentary
action must be the primary strategy.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

ALTHOUGH THE situation has not yet stabilized, the battle over the coup
appears to have reached a kind of stalemate.

Both sides missed opportunities to win decisive victories. The golpistas
erred when they arrogantly refused to sign the San Jos? Accords early
on--this would have led to a demoralizing Haiti-type presidential
restoration before the resistance had much time to develop.

The resistance, for its part, was incapable of leading an insurrection
against the coup in the days after Zelaya's entrance into Honduras, when
popular enthusiasm was at the height and golpista confidence at the low
point. The reasons for this are complex, but centrally linked, in my
opinion, to the absence of a revolutionary political organization to plan
and lead such an insurrection.

With the struggle at an impasse, the crisis was only resolved by
intervention of the imperialist powers, which compelled the Honduran ruling
class to make concessions, but also guaranteed that these concessions were
highly conditional.

It shouldn't be forgotten, however, that fighting the oligarchs to a
stalemate was no small accomplishment for the resistance. It required
tremendous organization and sacrifice. If the workers have not won, neither
have they been thrown back, in spite of everything arrayed against them.
There is a clearly new power in Honduras.

Meanwhile, the U.S. establishment will certainly congratulate itself on the
"diplomatic breakthrough." But it doesn't take much thought to see that what
the U.S. brokered in October could have been produced in July--before the
murders, beatings, arrests and so on. Nor has it gone unnoticed that the
U.S., while formally demanding the unconditional restoration of Zelaya, has
cooked up a deal that falls well short of that.

An honest observer can only conclude that, first, the U.S. has been tacitly
pro-coup all along; second, it only intervened forcefully when the impasse
became intolerably costly for capital; and third, it defended the golpistas'
fundamental interests even while forcing them into an agreement.

For their part, Latin American governments demonstrated a capacity to act
independently of the U.S., and even against the wishes of U.S. imperialism.
Brazil's role in providing sanctuary to Zelaya in its Tegucigalpa embassy is
particularly notable, given that the Lula government is among the most
conservative of the region's "developmentalist" regimes. Brazil would not
have shown such initiative without strong backing from other states,
demonstrating a powerful, albeit partial and cautious, discontent with U.S.
policy, even at the elite level.

Beyond this, the grassroots struggle in Honduras will inspire other fights
in Latin America against the imperialist offensive of the U.S. ruling class.
Those struggling against that class in the U.S. should take inspiration as
well.

Honduras: La victoria del "Smart Power"
Por Eva Golinger

Henry Kissinger dec?a que la diplomacia es "el arte de refrenar el poder".
Obviamente, el ide?logo m?s influyente de la pol?tica exterior
estadounidense del siglo XX estaba haciendo referencia a la necesidad de
"refrenar el poder" de otros pa?ses y gobernantes para poder mantener la
posici?n dominante de Estados Unidos ante el mundo. Presidentes como
George W. Bush, empleaban el "poder duro" (Hard Power) para lograr este
fin: armas, bombas, amenazas e invasiones militares. Otros como Bill
Clinton, utilizaban el "poder suave" (Soft Power): la guerra cultural,
Hollywood, ideales, diplomacia, autoridad moral y campa?as para ganar "las
mentes y corazones" de las poblaciones civiles en pa?ses adversarios. Pero
la administraci?n de Barack Obama ha optado por una mutaci?n de estos
dos conceptos, fusionando el poder militar con la diplomacia, la influencia
pol?tica y econ?mica con la cultural y legal, y llam?ndolo el "poder
inteligente" (Smart Power).Su primera aplicaci?n ha sido en el caso de
Honduras, con el golpe de estado, y hasta hoy, ha funcionado a la
perfecci?n.

Dec?a la Secretaria de Estado Hillary Clinton en su audiencia de
confirmaci?n ante el Senado de Estados Unidos, que "debemos utilizar lo
que se ha llamado el "smart power", el rango completo de herramientas que
est?n a nuestra disposici?n - diplom?ticas, econ?micas, militares,
pol?ticas,
legales y culturales - escogiendo la herramienta correcta, o combinaci?n de
herramientas, para cada situaci?n. Con el "smart power", la diplomacia
ser?a la vanguardia de nuestra pol?tica exterior." Luego, Clinton reforzaba
este concepto afirmando que "el camino m?s sabio es primero utilizar la
persuasi?n."

?Qu? es lo inteligente de ?sta concepci?n? Es una pol?tica dificil de
clasificar, dificil de detectar y dificil de desmontar. El caso de Honduras
es
ejemplar. Por un lado, el Presidente Obama condenaba al golpe contra el
Presidente Zelaya, y por otro lado, su embajador en Tegucigalpa se reun?a
constantemente con los golpistas. La Secretaria de Estado Clinton repet?a
muchas veces durante los ?ltimos cuatro meses, desde el primer d?a del
golpe, que Washington no quer?a meterse ni influir sobre la situaci?n en
Honduras - que eran los hondure?os que ten?an que resolver su crisis, sin
ninguna injerencia externa. No obstante, fue Washington que impuso la
mediaci?n de Oscar Ar?as, presidente de Costa Rica, era Washington que
segu?a financiando al r?gimen golpista a trav?s de la USAID, y era
Washington que comandaba y controlaba las fuerzas armadas hondure?as,
a trav?s de la base militar Soto Cano (Palmerola).

Tambi?n fue el lobby de Washington que redact? el "acuerdo" de San Jos?,
y en el final, fueron los altos funcionarios de la Casa Blanca y el
Departamento de Estado que tuvieron que "persuadir" a los hondure?os
para que aceptaran ese acuerdo. A pesar de la constante injerencia de
Estados Unidos en el golpe de estado en Honduras - desde su financiaci?n,
dise?o y apoyo pol?tico hasta el apoyo militar - el "smart power" logr?
distorcionar la realidad ante la opini?n p?blica, convertiendo al duo
Obama/Clinton en los "grandes ganadores del multilateralismo".

Lo que hizo el "smart power" fue disfrazar el unilateralismo estadounidense
de multilateralismo. Del primer d?a, la agenda de Washington se impuso. El
1 de julio, los voceros del Departamento de Estado admitieron en una rueda
de prensa que ten?an conocimiento previo del golpe. Tambi?n admitieron
que dos altos funcionarios de la diplomacia estadounidense, Thomas
Shannon y James Steinberg, estuvieron en Honduras la semana anterior al
golpe para mantener reuniones con los grupos civiles y militares que lo
llevaron a cabo. Dec?an que su prop?sito era "frenar el golpe", pero ?c?mo
se explica entonces el hecho de que el avi?n llevando al presidente Zelaya
ilegalmente fuera del pa?s sali? de la base militar de Soto Cano, en la
presencia de los militares estadounidenses?

Los hechos demuestran la verdad sobre el papel de Washington en el golpe
de estado, y su posterior experimento exitoso con la aplicaci?n del "smart
power". Sab?an del golpe, financiaban a los involucrados, ayudaron sacar al
Presidente Zelaya del pa?s y luego, utilizaron a la Organizaci?n de Estados
Americanos (OEA) - en un momento incluso en que estaba en peligro de
extinci?n - como fachada para imponer su agenda. En su discurso, el
Departamento de Estado siempre legitimaba a los golpistas, llamando a
"todas las partes...a resolver las disputas pol?ticas de manera pac?fica a
trav?s del di?logo". ?Desde cuando un usurpador ilegal del poder es
considerado "una parte" l?gitima dispuesta a dialogar?Obviamente es un
actor criminal que no estaba dispuesto a dialogar en primer lugar. Basada
en esa l?gica de Washington, el mundo deber?a hacer un llamado al
gobierno de Obama para que "resuelva su disputa pol?tica con Al Qaeda de
manera pac?fica a trav?s del di?logo".

El "smart power" de Obama/Clinton logr? su primera victoria durante los
primeros d?as del golpe cuando los estados miembros de la OEA aceptaron
la solicitud de esperar 72 horas para "darles tiempo" en Honduras para
resolver su crisis. Luego vino la imposici?n de la mediaci?n de Ar?as, y ya,
de haber cedido tanto espacio a Washington, el imperio tom? el reino y lo
llev? hasta el final. Cuando el presidente Zelaya se fue a Washington para
reunirse con la Secretaria de Estado Clinton, fue obvio quien estaba en
control. Y asi lo jugaron, alargando el tiempo hasta el ?ltimo momento para
no permitir un regreso de Zelaya que tuviera el espacio de revertir lo que
ya
se hab?an logrado.

El pueblo se qued? fuera, los meses de represi?n, violencia, persecuci?n,
violaciones, toques de queda, cierres de medios de comunicaci?n y torturas
y asesinatos, se han olvidado. Menos mal, como dijo el Subsecretario de
Estado Thomas Shannon, luego de lograr hacer firmar el "acuerdo" entre
Micheletti y Zelaya, que la situaci?n en Honduras se pudo resolver "sin
violencia".

Al firmar el acuerdo el pasado 30 de octubre, Washington "levant?" las
pocas restricciones que hab?an impuesto para presionar al r?gimen
golpista. Ya pueden sacar sus visas y viajar al norte, no se tienen que
preocupar por los millones de la USAID que ni siquiera se hab?an
suspendidos. Los militares estadounidenses en Soto Cano pueden reiniciar
todas sus actividades - bueno, realmente nunca las hab?an dejado de
hacer, como confirm? el Comando Sur del Pent?gono, d?as despu?s del
golpe: "todo est? normal con nuestras fuerzas armadas en Honduras, est?n
haciendo sus actividades y maniobras conjuntas con los hondure?os como
siempre". Washington est? preparando su delegaci?n de observadores para
las elecciones en Honduras el pr?ximo 29 de noviembre - ya est?n en
camino.

Olv?danse del torturador Billy Joya y los paramilitares colombianos enviados
para ayudar al r?gimen golpista "controlar" la poblaci?n. No se preocupan
por el arma s?nica LRAD utilizado para torturar a los habitantes en la
embajada de Brasil, durante la estad?a de Zelaya. No pas? nada. Como dijo
Thomas Shannon, "felicito a dos grandes hombres por haber logrado este
acuerdo hist?rico". Y la Secretaria de Estado Hillary Clinton coment? que
"este acuerdo es un logro tremendo para los hondure?os". ?Disculpa, para
qui?n?

En el final el celebrado "acuerdo" impuesto por Washington s?lo llama al
congreso de Honduras - el mismo que falsific? la renuncia de Zelaya para
justificar el golpe, y el mismo que apoy? la instalaci?n ilegal de
Micheletti en
la presidencia - de determinar si quieren o no restituir a Zelaya en la
presidencia. Y s?lo despu?s de recibir una opini?n de la Corte Suprema de
Honduras - la misma que opin? que Zelaya era un traidor por promover una
encuesta no vinculante sobre una posible reforma constitucional y la misma
que orden? su captura violenta. En caso de ser positiva la respuesta del
congreso, Zelaya no tendr? ningun poder. Su gabinete ser?a impuesto por
los partidos que apoyaron el golpe, las fuerzas armadas golpistas estar?an
bajo el control de la Corte Suprema golpista, y adem?s, Zelaya podr?a ser
enjuiciado por su supuesto "crimen", por haber promovido una encuesta no
vinculante sobre una potencial reforma constitucional.

Seg?n el "acuerdo", una comisi?n de la verdad supervisar? la
implementaci?n de los t?rminos acordados. Hoy anunciaron que la comisi?n
ser? liderada por una ficha de Washington, el ex presidente chileno,
Ricardo Lagos. Promotor de las pol?ticas neoliberales de Washington,
Lagos es co-director de la Junta Directiva del Di?logo Interamericano, un
centro de pensamiento estadounidense de la derecha que analiza los temas
relacionados con Am?rica Latina. Tambi?n fue encargado por la National
Endowment for Democracy (NED) para crear una versi?n chilena, la
Fundaci?n Democracia y Desarrollo, para "promover la democracia", al
estilo estadounidense en la regi?n. Al salir de la presidencia en Chile,
Lagos
fue Presidente del Club de Madrid - un club exclusivo de expresidentes
dedicados a "promover la democracia" por el mundo. En ese "club", tambi?n
figuran personajes vinculados con la desestabilizaci?n de los gobiernos de
izquierda en Am?rica Latina como Jorge Quiroga y Gonzalo S?nchez de
Lozada (ex presidentes de Bolivia), Felipe Gonz?lez (ex primer ministro de
Espa?a), V?clav Havel (ex presidente de la Rep?blica Checa) y Jos? Mar?a
Aznar (ex primer ministro de Espa?a), entre muchos otros.

En el final, el "smart power" fue suficientemente inteligente para enga?ar a
los que hoy se abrazan y celebran "el fin de la crisis" en Honduras. Pero
para la mayor?a del pueblo latinoamericano la victoria del "smart power" de
Obama/Clinton en Honduras significa una sombra muy oscura y peligrosa
que nos acerca. Apen?s, iniciativas como el ALBA estaban logrando la
independencia en Am?rica Latina del poder estadounidense. Por primera
vez, los pa?ses y pueblos se levantaban en colectivo con dignidad y
soberan?a para determinar sus propios futuros. Y lleg? Obama con su
"smart power" y golpe? al ALBA, debilit?la integraci?n latinoamericana y
aplast? cualquier pensamiento sobre independencia y soberan?a en el patio
trasero de Washington.

Arrodillados y entregados ante Washington, "fue resuelta" la crisis en
Honduras, la misma que se hab?a fomentado en el norte. Ahora, se habla
de Paraguay, Nicaragua, Ecuador y Venezuela, donde cada d?a aumenta la
subversi?n, la contrainsurgencia y la desestabilizaci?n. El pueblo de
Honduras sigue en resistencia, a pesar del "acuerdo" entre sus
gobernantes. Su insurrecci?n y compromiso con la reivindicaci?n de sus
derechos es el s?mbolo de la dignidad. La ?nica manera de derrotar a la
agresi?n imperial - que sea inteligente o que sea bruta - es a trav?s de la
uni?n e integraci?n de los pueblos, a todo nivel.

"Lo ilegal lo hacemos de inmediato. Lo inconstitucional tarda m?s tiempo." -

*?STATISTICS AND FACES OF THE REPRESSION? - VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN
THE CONTEXT OF THE COUP D??TAT IN HONDURAS
*By Bertha Oliva, General Coordinator of COFADEH, Tegucigalpa, Honduras -
October 22, 2009

[Thanks to Quixote Center www.quixote.org and Rights Action for distributing
this information from COFADEH]

I am a veteran human rights defender.   As I prepared the second human
rights report since the coup in Honduras, ?Statistics and Faces of the
Repression - Violations of Human Rights in the context of the coup d??tat,?
I have felt profound distress.  Perhaps because I had begun to think that
during the long process of the last decades, we had made some small advances
in the area of human rights.

Perhaps it is because I look to the past in order to see the future, and to
evaluate and to value the present - that today, over 100 days since the
fateful coup on June 28th, I realize that something has shaken the Committee
of Families of the Detained and Disappeared of Honduras, COFADEH to the
core, and nothing is the same.  Immediately after the coup we knew that we
had regressed 25 ? 30 years, maybe more.

As the impact of the blow set in, we realized that we are now in the midst
of a modern Military Coup d??tat in the 21st Century.  Unfortunately, we are
well versed in the effects of military dictators and we understood that what
we were witnessing was not an isolated act but an entire strategy to seize
and hold power for the long term; in other words, the dictatorship intends
to stay in the Region.

We realized that if such an offense could be committed against the person
who holds the highest office in the country, what would happen to the rest
of the population.  We began to prepare ourselves. The military dictatorship
wasted no time.

Today, just as in the past, we are the depository for tears, anguish, pain
and hopelessness.

The military dictatorship that we live under today is very similar to that
of the decade of the 1980s, however, there is an important difference.
During the 1980s, those who repressed the people hid their faces and their
names. Today, those who repress the people have names, faces and uniforms:
?blue-green ? olive and white.?

In our second human rights report we have focused our concerns on the
actions that the X Battalion, based in Marcala (La Paz), has carried out
against members of the throughout the zone, including the region of
Colomoncagua.  Similar levels of persecution are also being suffered by
people in the Department of Santa Barbara on the part of authorities of the
de facto regime in this Department.

Another of our primary concerns is the strategy employed by the military
dictatorship against teachers in the country which includes illegal and
arbitrary retention of salaries, profiling, legal suits brought against them
by the Public Ministry, persecution, illegal detentions and even
assassination.

With indignation and pain we must condemn and repudiate the persecution
unleashed on the youth of our country.  To some we have had to say, ?until
we meet again in another country? in order to prevent them becoming victims
of kidnapping, torture and assassination?And to other young people we have
said, ?goodbye, we will meet again in the next world.?

Based on proof and documentation in our possession, we affirm to the world
that we are living a situation of NATIONAL EMERGENCY in Honduras.  We appeal
to the International Community to stay vigilant and observant in order to
assume the challenge of bringing those who perpetrate crimes against
humanity to justice.

COMUNICADO GOBIERNO DEL PRESIDENTE CONSTITUCIONAL DE HONDURAS

Por instrucciones del Presidente Constitucional de la Rep?blica, Jose Manuel
Zelaya Rosales, y ante las distorsiones p?blicas realizadas por los miembros
de la comisi?n negociadora que representaba al se?or Micheletti en el
acuerdo de Tegucigalpa/San Jos?, al Pueblo hondure?o y la Comunidad
Internacional, COMUNICAMOS:


1. El Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San Jos?, constituye el resultado de un di?logo
que dentro del esp?ritu del Plan Arias, y bajo los auspicios de la Comunidad
Internacional a trav?s de la Comisi?n Especial de Cancilleres de pa?ses
miembros de la Organizaci?n de Estados Americanos, surge con el fin de
atender los mandatos incluidos en las Resoluciones de la Organizaci?n de
Naciones Unidas y de la Organizaci?n de Estados Americanos, para revertir el
Golpe de Estado Militar y restaurar el Orden Constitucional, situaci?n que
irrevocablemente pasa por la restituci?n sin demora del Presidente
Constitucional Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales.

2. Que las Comisiones de Dialogo nombradas por el Presidente Constitucional
Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales, y por el r?gimen de facto que encabeza Roberto
Micheletti Bain, respectivamente, convinieron en remitir al Congreso
Nacional el Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San Jos? contentivo de doce puntos, de los
cuales el numeral 5 manda a retrotraer la titularidad del Poder Ejecutivo a
su estado previo al 28 de junio hasta la conclusi?n del actual periodo
gubernamental, el 27 de enero de 2010, se?alando taxativamente el
procedimiento para revertir el golpe de Estado militar. Por tanto, cualquier
interpretaci?n fuera de este contexto seria inaceptable y constituir?a una
nueva afrenta al pueblo hondure?o y a la comunidad internacional.

3. Que apegados al esp?ritu del Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San Jos?, el cargo del
Presidente de la Rep?blica que constitucionalmente eligi? el pueblo
hondure?o para un mandato de 4 a?os no est? en discusi?n, por lo que el
Congreso Nacional debe actuar con responsabilidad y derogar los decretos con
los que ilegalmente pretendieron destituir al Presidente Constitucional Jos?
Manuel Zelaya Rosales y nombrar a un mandatario de facto, hecho que ha sido
condenado por todas las naciones del mundo.

4. Que ante el optimismo con que se ha recibido la firma del Acuerdo
Tegucigalpa/San Jos?, rechazamos la utilizaci?n de estrategias dilatorias o
cualquier otra estratagema que ponga en precario el prestigio y la
credibilidad que nuestro pa?s merece ante la Comunidad Internacional, la que
con firmeza y convicci?n ha puesto al servicio de nuestro pueblo la buena fe
de sus actos y su solidaridad.

5. En consecuencia, hacemos un llamado a la Comunidad Internacional a que se
mantenga vigilante para que en cumplimiento del Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San
Jose, el Congreso Nacional proceda a la inmediata restituci?n del Presidente
Constitucional Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales, ?nica v?a para el retorno al
Orden Constitucional, el pleno respeto de los Derechos Humanos y de las
Garant?as Constitucionales, y el respeto irrestricto al Derecho
Internacional.

Solo entonces podremos alcanzar la reincorporaci?n de Honduras en el
concierto de las Naciones, el levantamiento de las sanciones impuestas al
r?gimen de facto y el reconocimiento al pr?ximo proceso electoral, el que
deber? desarrollarse en un entorno de legalidad, legitimidad e igualdad de
oportunidades


Tegucigalpa, M.D.C., el 2 de noviembre de 2009,


GOBIERNO DEL PRESIDENTE CONSTITUCIONAL DE HONDURAS

JOSE MANUEL ZELAYA ROSALES

*Por:     Roberto Quesada*
           ::

''No todo se puede cambiar haci?ndole frente, pero no se puede cambiar nada
hasta que uno no lo enfrenta''?? James Baldwin, escritor afroamericano.

Es posible que el subcretario de Estado, Thomas Shannon, no haya podido
torcerle el brazo a nadie en Honduras, pero es probable que a la
administraci?n Obama se lo est?n torciendo los lobbystas del gobierno
golpista (que son pagados con dinero saqueado al pueblo hondure?o) y los
republicanos de Miami. Al deducir por las recientes  declaraciones de Thomas
Shannon a la cadena CNN, en cuanto a que las elecciones se dar?n y
reconocer?n a?n sin la restituci?n del presidente constitucional Manuel
Zelaya.

No debemos de creer que Shannon, ni Hillary, ni Obama sean expertos en
Honduras (existen pa?ses y negocios m?s importantes), que est?n al tanto de
lo que realmente ha acontecido con el golpe de Estado-Militar y las
atrocidades a los derechos humanos. Ni que sepan que el pueblo hondure?o ha
salido masivamente a las calles y que s?lo ha sido obligado a encarcelarse
en sus casas despu?s de muchos muertos, de cerrarles los medios que
informaban la verdad, de darles palizas a punta de toletes y gases
lacrim?genos. En s?ntesis: de aterrorizar el pa?s.

Shannon debe de tener claro algunas cosas, como que los hondure?os y
hondure?as, no necesariamente seguidores del presidente Zelaya, estamos en
contra del golpe de Estado-Militar en Honduras, y estamos conscientes de que
la ?nica forma de revertir ese golpe es restituyendo al presidente
constitucionalmente elegido por el pueblo hondure?o. Cualquier otra opci?n,
incluyendo las elecciones, sin ese primer paso, es avalar el golpe de
Estado-Militar que ha enlutado a Honduras.

Shannon ni la administraci?n Obama deben subestimar al pueblo hondure?o, es
cierto que es un pueblo pobre pero no tonto, puede que no tenga la
posibilidad educativa formal de otros pa?ses pero cuenta con inteligencia
natural, quiz? haya estado sometido por su excesiva nobleza, una nobleza
casi suicida. Pero las vanas esperanzas que le han dado los pol?ticos a
trav?s de la historia y el empujoncito a ver la realidad que ha dado el
presidente Zelaya, han llevado al pueblo hondure?o a so?ar con forjarse un
futuro mejor.

Es ni m?s ni menos como cuando los esclavos en los Estados Unidos, no es que
los negros eran felices siendo esclavos sino que carec?an del conocimiento
de sus derechos, pero con el apoyo de blancos humanistas lograron despertar
y hacer su historia: en arte, en deportes, en pol?tica, etc., han
sobresalido y demostraron ser tan iguales como los esclavistas, a tal grado
que hoy un afroamericano es el presidente de los Estados Unidos.

El presidente Barack Obama ha hecho alarde de ser un hombre del pueblo,
incluso, para demostrar lo cierto de su decir, evit? recibir grandes sumas
de dinero ??una manera de no comprometer su administraci?n ??para que
apoyaran su campa?a y mejor lo hizo v?a internet . Con lo cual no s?lo
demostr? cu?n popular era entre los estadounidenses sino que logr? r?cord en
la colecta de fondos para una campa?a electoral en los Estados Unidos.
Partiendo de all?, Obama tiene una responsabilidad moral de escuchar a los
pueblos, incluyendo el pueblo hondure?o, y no creer a pie juntillas en los
lobbystas, que su trabajo es ese: tratar de convencer hasta de lo imposible
con tal de que se les pague bien.

?Entonces, Barack, y los principios humanos de los que tanto habl? durante
toda su campa?a y  ahora como presidente, d?nde quedan? S?, ?d?nde quedan?,
porque respaldar un golpe de Estado-Militar, de la forma que sea, avalando
elecciones fraudolentas, por ejemplo, sin lugar a dudas, lo convierte
tambi?n en golpista. Y las desafortunadas declaraciones de Shannon llevan a
pensar que en la Casa Blanca solamente se ha cambiado de partido pol?tico y
de color de piel de sus inquilinos, pero la esencia del desd?n o desprecio
por el llamado patrio trasero, contin?a inamovible.

A ra?z de las declaraciones de Shannon, he recibido cantidad de correos
electr?nicos y llamadas telef?nicas del pueblo hondure?o, expresando la
decepci?n que les ha causado lo vertido por el Subcretario, pues debe
tenerse firmeza en no reconocer elecciones que son un aborto de un golpe de
Estado-Militar. Para calmar los ?nimos de mis compatriotas, les expliqu? que
en el lenguaje diplom?tico algunas veces se oye una cosa pero se est?
diciendo otra: quiz? Shannon, al decir que de cualquier manera se
reconocer?n las elecciones, est? abriendo de par en par las puertas de los
Estados Unidos, para que todas y todos los hondure?os que lo deseen, se
dirijan a la frontera del Norte a cruzar r?os o saltar muros, eso de la
ilegalidad no ser? problema, ya se ha anunciado reformas para la
inmigraci?n, favoreciendo a los inmigrantes, el a?o que viene. As? es,
porque entre m?s desestabilidad y miseria haya en estos pueblos, se
acrecientan m?s las esperanzas de concretar sus sue?os en los Estados
Unidos.

Contrario a la lucha del presidente Zelaya, mejorar el nivel de vida de los
hondure?os/as para evitar en la medida de lo posible esa inmigraci?n ilegal
que muchas veces se convierte en tragedia.

Barack Obama conoce bien una historia, y no s?lo la conoce sino que tuvo
como invitada especial a su protagonista, Rosa Parks. Esta mujer
afroamericana el 1? de diciembre de 1955, en Montgomery, Alabama,  rehus?
quitarse de un asiento designado para blancos y la arrestaron. Su audacia
impuls? el movimiento en defensa de los derechos civiles. En cuesti?n de
d?as, los negros de Montgomery organizaron un boicot casi total de los
autobuses que en un a?o culmin? con el fin de la segregaci?n en los
autobuses en Montgomery y un mayor nivel de organizaci?n popular.

Es m?s o menos as? como est? el pueblo hondure?o: cansado de ir en la parte
trasera del bus, aun cuando haya llegado primero a la estaci?n. ?Estar? de
acuerdo Obama de que el pueblo hondure?o, verdadero propietario del autob?s,
sea segregado por unos pocos a ir eternamente en la parte trasera?.

Dear friends,

Our final faster was Brian Vester, who also pledged to fast every Monday in
November in solidarity with the resistance to the coup, while Lee fasts
every Friday of November - which continues even if Zelaya might (or might
not, if Congress stalls) be reinstated and the hunger strike there has
ended. Attached is Brian's photo.

http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/2197/68/

  Written by Mark Weisbrot     Thursday, 05 November 2009

Source: *Guardian
Unlimited*<http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/nov/04/honduras-zelaya-agreement-obama-clinton>

Last Friday an *agreement*<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/30/honduras-zelaya-deal-coup>was
reached between the de facto regime in
*Honduras* <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/honduras>, which took power in a
military coup on 28 June, and the elected president Manuel Zelaya, for the
restoration of democracy there.

US secretary of state *Hillary
Clinton*<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/hillaryclinton>,
in announcing what she called an *historic
agreement*<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/31/world/americas/31honduras.html>,
said: "I cannot think of another example of a country in Latin America that
? overcame such a crisis through negotiation and dialogue." Hopefully this
will turn out to be true.

But the ink was barely dry on the accord when leaders of the coup regime
indicated that they had no intention of honouring it. Some of them clearly
saw the agreement as just another delaying tactic. They have talked of
postponing congressional approval of the accord until after the 29 November
elections, or even voting not to restore Zelaya.

If the Honduran congress delays or rejects the restoration of Zelaya, it
will violate the clear intent of the accord. The agreement
*states*<http://hondurasemb.org/2009/11/04/press-briefing-latin-american-ambassadors-press-for-restitution-in-honduras/>:
"The decision the national congress adopts should establish a basis for
achieving the social peace, political tranquility and democratic
governability the society requires and the country needs." This and other
language makes it clear that the negotiators ? who have the ability to
deliver the votes in congress ? agreed on Zelaya's restoration.

Furthermore, justice delayed here is justice denied. Two-thirds of the
legally allowed campaign period has already lapsed, under conditions of
dictatorship that made free election campaigning impossible.

The *Obama administration*<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/obama-administration>has
itself been divided on what to do about the military overthrow of
democracy in Honduras. Hence the mixed signals and vacillation from the very
beginning, when the first statement from the White House failed to even
condemn the coup.

Those in the administration who think they can now wash their hands of the
accord and let the coup leaders turn their back on it had better think
twice. The Obama team has embarrassed itself enough by having to be
pressured by the rest of the hemisphere to tell the coup government that
Washington would not recognise the 29 November elections without prior
restoration of Zelaya. Just a few weeks earlier, the Obama administration
had blocked the Organisation of American States from passing a resolution to
this effect.

But now Washington's credibility is really on the line. The Obama team
brokered this accord and got a commitment from the coup leaders. If they go
back on it, how much will the Obama administration's word be worth on
anything else? Everyone knows that Washington has the ability to force the
coup regime to comply. There are billions of dollars of its assets in the US
that could be frozen or seized. Seventy percent of the country's exports go
to the US. The coup regime has no international legitimacy and no standing
to challenge the US under international treaties for any economic sanctions
that might be invoked.

The Obama administration never used the effective tools at its disposal.
Instead it dithered for months, finally *cutting off a fraction of its
aid*<http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-us-honduras4-2009sep04,0,1312087.story>to
the coup government and
*revoking some visas*<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/28/honduras-usa-visa-micheletti-zelaya>.
The administration refused to even declare that a military coup had taken
place, since this would have required more cuts in foreign assistance.

Most tellingly, Washington refused to denounce the massive human rights
violations committed by the dictatorship. These included police beatings,
illegal detention of thousands, closing of independent radio and television,
suspension of civil rights and even some political murders. The crimes were
denounced by all major human rights organisations, inside and outside of
Honduras ? and by many governments ? but the Obama administration maintained
a deafening silence.

Based on the recent past, the coup leaders ? one of whom was forced to *resign
his post as foreign
minister*<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106681043>after
levelling racial epithets at Obama ? might think they can safely
ignore the agreement. But the rest of the hemisphere, and the Honduran
people ? who have courageously resisted the coup from day one ? will not let
them get away with it. No one will recognise the November elections if
Zelaya is not restored promptly.

Tuesday night, Thomas Shannon, the US assistant secretary of state for
western hemisphere affairs, told CNN en Espanol that *the US plans to
recognise the November
elections*<http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jAkMGKIUDg_ngUiZboxQbYj5_DPwD9BOSEJ00>whether
or not Zelaya is restored. This would definitely put Washington on a
collision course with the rest of the hemisphere, including Brazil.
Furthermore, according to diplomats close to the negotiations, both Shannon
and Hillary Clinton had given assurances that last week's accord would bring
Zelaya back to the presidency.

Shannon's statement to CNN prompted a letter from Zelaya to Clinton, asking
whether the US government had changed its position on the coup d'etat in
Honduras.

Obama now has a choice. He can force the coup regime to honour the accord or
lose further credibility among governments in the hemisphere and the world.

It appears to me that there are significant differences within the Boston committee on the statement draft submitted. Also, Statement 32 calls for?celebration of the restitution of?the President.?Is there a possibility of those with the sharpest differences working out part of these, including possibly omission of non-consensus wording?
?
It may be urgent for that statement from Honduras to be translated to English. Is there a translation yet? Do we need to work on one?

Sorry this message will be 1/2 english - 1/2 spanish- no time to translate the report from Frente .

Companeros- I am not sure about making statements that the? National Front has not made itself.? "With or without Zelaya" is not the official stance- restitution of Zelaya continues to be the key piece emphasized in the Frente's comment's on Friday as included below.? 
?
My interpretation is Zelaya's restitution is key and that the fight of the Honduran people to determine change for their country will continue and be based the need to constitute the assembly to revise the constitution as a parallel process- but that a restoration to democratic order is 1st, even if by the San Jose Accord. 
?
While our ideal would have been a complete and immediate restitution on the 29th of June if possible....Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.?
?
The gains here are:
1. The awakening and acceptance of power of the Honduran Resistance
2. The 4 months peaceful movement that they have maintained despite the repression
3. The? impending?restitution of democratic order through their 4 month resistance
?
Things I am thinking about in terms of how to support the resistance
1. What happens if Zelaya is NOT restored (what steps, measures, actions will be necessary)
2. If Zelaya is restored- how do we contribute to the?ensure transparent elections
3. How do we support the Resistance in positioning themselves for the assembling of the constituyente

In supporting the resistance we have to support the path they are determining.

Below National Front's Communication on Friday Oct. 30 re: Accord
viernes 30 de octubre de 2009

Comunicado No. 32 

El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado, ante la inminente firma del acuerdo negociado entre la comisi?n representante del presidente leg?timo Manuel Zelaya Rosales y los representantes del r?gimen de facto, comunica a la poblaci?n hondure?a y la comunidad internacional:
1. Celebramos como una victoria popular sobre los intereses mezquinos de la oligarqu?a golpista, la pr?xima restituci?n del presidente Manuel Zelaya Rosales. Esta victoria se ha obtenido con m?s de 4 meses de lucha y sacrificio del pueblo, que a pesar de la salvaje represi?n desatada por los cuerpos represivos del estado en manos de la clase dominante, ha sabido resistir y crecer en conciencia y organizaci?n hasta convertirse en una fuerza social incontenible.

2. La firma por parte de la Dictadura del documento donde se establece ?retrotraer la titularidad del Poder Ejecutivo a su estado previo al 28 de junio?, representa la aceptaci?n expl?cita de que en Honduras hubo un golpe de estado que debe ser desmontado para volver al orden institucional y garantizar un marco democr?tico en el que el pueblo pueda hacer valer su derecho de transformar la sociedad.

3. Exigimos que a los acuerdos que se firmen en la mesa de negociaci?n se les de tr?mite expedito en el Congreso Nacional. En ese sentido, alertamos a todos nuestros compa?eros y compa?eras a nivel nacional para que se sumen a las acciones de presi?n para que se cumpla inmediatamente lo consignado en el documento final que se elabore en la mesa de negociaci?n.

4. Reiteramos que la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente es una aspiraci?n irrenunciable del pueblo hondure?o y un derecho innegociable por el cual seguiremos luchando en las calles, hasta lograr la refundaci?n de la sociedad para convertirla en justa, igualitaria y verdaderamente democr?tica.

I agree with this statement, and have made a couple of minor changes and shifted around a couple of sentences. 



Statement of the Committee in Solidarity the Honduran Resistance-Boston with regards to Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accords

In response to the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accords agreed upon by Roberto Micheletti and Manuel Zelaya on Friday the 30th of October, our committee hereby reaffirms our committment to the counter-coup movement in Honduras, and our will to continue supporting the campesino, feminist, afro-Honduran, human rights, social justice, syndical and other organizations that form the National Front Against the Coup.


The agreement, devised and imposed by Washington and signed by both the illegal regime and the deposed executive of Honduras, serves first and foremost the interests of the entrenched oligarchy who perpetrated the coup.?It ignores the will of the social organizations representing the country?s poor, who withdrew from the negotiations leading up to the agreement. However, to the extent that the accords force the illegal regime to make concessions, such as outlining a path to Zelaya's reinstatement, this is due to the brave sacrifices of the Honduran people who?refused to capitulate to the business/military conspiracy that overthrew their elected president.?


After four months of military rule and widespread human rights violations, the regime hopes to legitimize itself by realizing elections in a climate that could not be considered free and fair. The withdrawal by candidates who oppose the coup, at the presidential, congressional, and local levels, is an indicator that democratic elections can not be carried out under dictatorial circumstances. Meanwhile the demand of the people for convoking a popular and democratic national constitutional assembly has not been met and the resistance continues to struggle for an assembly?consisting?of the different social sectors of the country such as women, youth, indigenous and Garifuna peoples, workers, the LGBT community, community councils, representatives of marginalized neighborhoods, teachers, artists, peasants, honest business people, intellectuals, professionals, the informal economy sector, and alternative media, among others.


With or without Manuel Zelaya, with or without the fulfillment of the accords, the resistance continues, and it is this resistance that will continue fighting for a just order in their country. It is the aim of our work to support this historical process.


Viva Honduras!!!

Jos? Saavedra se neg? a dar la fecha en que los 128 diputados de cinco partidos podr?an ser convocados.
El Congreso hondure?o no dar? dilatorias al debate sobre el retorno del depuesto mandatario Manuel Zelaya al poder, asegur? este jueves el presidente del legislativo, Jos? Angel Saavedra, quien se neg? a dar fecha para la sesi?n.
"El Congreso no va a dar dilatorias ni va a evadir su responsabilidad hist?rica" de conocer el punto del acuerdo Tegucigalpa/SanJos? del Di?logo Guaymuras, precis? el legislador en la cadena de televisi?n Televicentro.
El acuerdo otorga la facultad al Congreso para decidir si restituye a Zelaya."Si estamos diciendo que estamos apostando al di?logo" para resolver la crisis pol?tica "significa que nosotros debemos cumplir con la parte que le corresponde al Congreso Nacional, con responsabilidad", dijo Saavedra.
No obstante, se neg? a dar la fecha en que los 128 diputados de cinco partidos podr?an ser convocados.
Zelaya ha estado presionando y llam? a sus seguidores a presionar a los diputados para que tomen la decisi?n con urgencia.
El mandatario exige que el Congreso se limite a derogar un decreto del 28 de junio que lo depuso y coloc? en su lugar a Roberto Micheletti.
Zelaya ped?a tambi?n que la restituci?n se produjera antes de este jueves cuando la Comisi?n de Verificaci?n tiene que empezar a instalar el gobierno de "unidad y conciliaci?n" que establece el acuerdo.
El mi?rcoles termin? la primera jornada de la Comisi?n de Verificaci?n de cumplimiento de los acuerdos, integrada por la secretaria de Trabajo estadounidense, Hilda Sol?s, el ex presidente de Chile, Ricardo Lagos, y los hondure?os Jorge Arturo Reina, por Zelaya, y Arturo Corrales por Micheletti.
Sol?s y Lagos abandonaron Honduras y dejaron como representantes y en delegaci?n de la OEA a Jos? Octavio Bord?n y Enrique Correa para que trabejen este jueves en la integraci?n del gobierno de "unidad y reconciliaci?n".

Message-ID: <115103.90851.qm@web38903.mail.mud.yahoo.com>




Si no se restituye a Manuel Zelaya desconoceremos las eleccionesComunicado No. 33



El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado comunica a la poblaci?n hondure?a y la comunidad internacional.



Considerando



1. Que Durante 131 d?as consecutivos de lucha, hemos presionado por
una salida pac?fica a la crisis pol?tica que vive nuestro pa?s como
resultado del golpe de estado perpetrado por la oligarqu?a hondure?a.
En este per?odo hemos acompa?ado las iniciativas que se han impulsado
desde varios sectores nacionales e internacionales, manteniendo tres
demandas fundamentales: a.) el retorno al orden institucional con la
restituci?n del presidente leg?timo Manuel Zelaya Rosales, b.) el
respeto al derecho soberano de instalar una Asamblea Nacional
Constituyente con la que se refunde la patria y c.) El castigo para los
violadores de derechos humanos.



2. Que el llamado acuerdo Tegucigalpa-San Jos? contiene como
elemento prioritario el retorno al orden constitucional y que
literalmente se?ala "retrotraer la titularidad del Poder Ejecutivo a su
estado previo al 28 de junio hasta la conclusi?n del actual periodo
gubernamental, el 27 de enero del 2010".



3. Que el Congreso Nacional, coautor del rompimiento del orden
constitucional el 28 de junio, est? utilizando t?cticas dilatorias, al
no querer convocar al pleno de la asamblea para que derogue el decreto
que instal? el r?gimen de facto.



4. Que la OEA y el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, a qui?n
consideramos c?mplice del golpe de estado militar, no muestran inter?s
en la salida definitiva de los golpistas del poder



Por lo tanto resolvemos



1. Si hoy jueves 5 de noviembre a m?s tardar a la 12 de la noche no
se restituye en su cargo al presidente Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales, el
Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado desconocer? el
proceso electoral y sus resultados.



2. Alertamos a todas las organizaciones de la Resistencia a nivel
nacional para que en el caso de no darse la restituci?n del presidente
Zelaya en el plazo establecido est?n prestos a ejecutar las acciones de
desconocimiento de la farsa electoral.



3. Llamamos a la comunidad internacional a mantener la posici?n de
deslegitimaci?n del r?gimen de facto y las elecciones del 29 de
noviembre.

Message-ID: <298149.73175.qm@web38907.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

PRESS RELEASE







TEGUCIGALPA: November 5, 2009 -- The president of the Committee for
the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras (CODEH), Andres Pavon, formally
requested that the Public Defender's office undertake legal proceedings
and criminal investigations against Roberto Micheletti Bain, de facto
regime president, as well as General Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, head of
the joint chiefs of staff, and a host of other coup regime leaders, for
the crimes of torture, crimes against public health and freedom of
movement, and for other illegal activities undertaken as part of the
sustained police and military operations that have been in effect at
the Brazilian Embassy since democratically-elected president Manual
?Mel? Zelaya arrived there last September 21, 2009.







CODEH also believes that investigations for crimes of omission
should be undertaken in the cases of the Human Rights Comissioner,
Ramon Custodio Lopez, as well as the Attorney General Luis Alberto
Rubi, since protecting citizens from torture is the responsibility of
the Human Rights Commission and the Criminal Investigation unit of the
Attorney General.

If this doesn't demonstrate that the Obama administration has supported the
coup in Honduras...I don't know what will...

Citing change in Honduras policy, GOP senator ends holds on nominees

By LESLEY CLARK
McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON - An outspoken critic of the Obama administration's handling of
the crisis in Honduras dropped his opposition to two State Department
nominees late Thursday, saying the administration has reversed course.

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said on the Senate floor that he'd spoken with
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who told him that the administration
would recognize the election Nov. 29 in Honduras "regardless of whether
former President Manuel Zelaya is returned to office."

"I am happy to report the Obama administration has finally reversed its
misguided Honduran policy and will fully recognize the Nov. 29 elections,"
DeMint said, noting that the stance means he'll lift his objection to the
nominations of Arturo Valenzuela to be assistant secretary for Western
Hemisphere affairs and Thomas Shannon to be the U.S. ambassador to Brazil.

At Valenzuela's confirmation hearing July 8, DeMint argued that the
administration had made the wrong call by pushing for ousted Honduran
President Manuel Zelaya's return to power.

But on Thursday, DeMint said that he'd spoken with Clinton and Shannon, who
had told him that the U.S. would recognize the outcome of the Honduran
elections regardless of whether Zelaya is reinstated.

"I take our administration at their word that they will now side with the
Honduran people and end their focus on the disgraced Zelaya," DeMint said.

Zelaya's supporters have promised to disrupt the elections if he doesn't
return to office, and almost all foreign governments have said they won't
recognize the winner of the presidential election unless Zelaya is allowed
to finish serving his term.

Shannon, the State Department's top Latin America diplomat, seemed to
undercut that position Tuesday, however, when he told CNN en Espanol that
last week's agreement between Zelaya and interim President Roberto
Micheletti meant that the Obama administration would recognize the winner
regardless of whether the Honduran Congress voted to restore Zelaya.

"The letter of the accords is dead."         President Manuel Zelaya
      *Proyecto Hondure?o Announces*
 [image: Manuel Zelaya] *November 6, 2009*

>From the Brazilian Embassy at 1:20 a.m. (Honduras Time) President  Manuel
Zelaya states that neither the spirit nor the context of the agreeent has
been upheld.

 "The 3rd of November I recieved a letter stating: Mr. Citizen Manuel Zelaya
Rosales under the direction of the President of Honduras Roberto Micheletti,
and in order to fullfill point 1. of the accord, we ask you to submit the
names of 10 citizens, from which we will choose those that will comprise the
integrated unity goverment to be  presided by President Roberto Micheletti.
We await your prompt response. They have made a joke of the process, of the
Honduran People's rights and the international community by announing
that the coup leaders would preside the unity government, when the accord
was based on the basis of restoring democratic order and

"All the concesions that they asked me to make, I have made  just so that
the reality of the spirit of the coup regime could be exposed.  * Today the
letter of the agreement is dead.  We consider their continued actions to
delay restitution intolerable and the accord Tegucigalpa- San Jose is dead."
*
     *Micheletti Announces Unifed Goverment without Restitution of
President Manuel Zelaya *
[image: Honduras Resists]
"Micheletti indicate that the coup regime is commited to the fullfilment of
each of the points outlined in the Tegucigalpa/San Jose
Accord." Telesurtv.net

Despite this statement and he has evidenced the contrary by his proceding to
conform the unity government, without the restorarion of legitimite
president, Manuel Zelaya's.

"One hour before the pronouncement of the de facto regime, the ex minister
of the Presidency of the coup government in Honduras, Rafael Pineda Ponce,
assured that Mr. Micheletti will continue to preside over the Unifed
 National Government, without the congress addressing the issue of the
restituion of constitutional president Manuel Zelaya by the date
indicated- Thursday." Telesurtv.net

Zelaya-Micheletti Honduras Deal Risks Trouble for Obama
By TIM PADGETT / TEGUCIGALPA Tim Padgett / Tegucigalpa Fri Nov 6, 10:20 am ET

When the U.S. last week finally brokered a deal between ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and the man who replaced him following the June 28 coup, de facto President Roberto Micheletti, observers wondered how the Obama Administration had won Micheletti's agreement. That's because the pact allowed for Zelaya to be restored to office before Honduras' Nov. 29 presidential election - a prospect Micheletti had fiercely opposed. But as the dust settles, the more common question this week is, What was Zelaya thinking when he signed this accord?

The Oct. 30 agreement, in fact, leaves it to the Honduran congress to decide whether the leftist Zelaya should be restored before the presidential vote (in which he's not a candidate). But Zelaya, still holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa since sneaking back into the country from exile in September, appears to have grossly miscalculated the odds of the legislature voting in his favor, and that leaves a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the accord. On Friday, Zelaya told Radio Globo that the accord was "dead," adding that there was "no sense in deceiving Hondurans." (See pictures of the protests in Honduras.)

It ought to have been apparent to Zelaya that when the pact was inked, only a quarter of the chamber's 128 deputies backed his reinstatement - even his ruling Liberal Party is split on the issue - and the math has barely budged since then. U.S. officials say they hoped that four months after the coup, the congress would be less of an anti-Zelaya hothouse and therefore more amenable to letting him finish the last three months of his term as the democratically elected President. But "restoring Zelaya creates too many domestic political complications," says restoration opponent Adolfo Facusse, a Honduran textile baron and head of the National Industrial Association. "The politicians fear it will be seen by their constituents as an evil thing." Says Honduran political analyst Efrain Diaz, "It's not very clear anymore that this was a smart deal for Zelaya to accept. At the end of the day, this doesn't really resolve the Honduran crisis."

Zelaya and his backers suggest they were led to believe the accord made his restoration a precondition for international recognition of the results of the Nov. 29 election, and that the endorsement of congress was a mere formality. "The agreement didn't say the elections could be used as clothing to disguise a coup," says Jorge Arturo Reina, Zelaya's U.N. ambassador and his representative on a commission monitoring implementation of the accord. (U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is also on the committee.) But the Zelaya camp's reading of the deal may have been naively optimistic. That much was clear this week when the deal's chief U.S. negotiator, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Thomas Shannon, confirmed that under its terms, the U.S. would recognize the election result even if congress declines to restore Zelaya. Shannon's statement prompted a frustrated Zelaya to send Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a letter asking her to
 "clarify to the Honduran people if the [U.S.] position condemning the coup d'?tat has been changed for modified." (Read "Honduran Tourism: Selling Against a Coup.")

The coup leaders insist Zelaya was ousted because he had defied a Supreme Court ruling against holding a referendum on constitutional reform, which they claim sought to lift a ban on presidential re-election - although this was not stated in the referendum question. The U.S. joined the international community in condemning the coup as an affront to Latin America's fledgling democracies, and demanded Zelaya's reinstatement. To back that position, it cut off more than $30 million in aid to Micheletti's de facto government, suspended U.S. entry visas for the coup's supporters and threatened not to recognize the election results. Still, the coupsters - backed by conservative Republicans in the U.S. Congress angry over Obama's stance - dug in, even while acknowledging that it was wrong to toss out Zelaya militarily.

As a result, Washington for weeks now has been looking for a way to bless the November balloting with or without Zelaya's restoration. Zelaya had hoped that Shannon would also persuade the leading candidate in the presidential race, Porfirio Lobo, to instruct legislators from his opposition National Party to endorse Zelaya's reinstatement under the new accord. But in an interview with TIME, Lobo made it clear that this would not happen. "Micheletti and Zelaya made a pact, and as long as that pact is carried out the world has to recognize the elections as valid," he says. "So at this point, what does it matter which of them is in office when the election is held?" Lobo also knows that as long as the vote is sanctioned by the U.S., from whom Honduras gets the lion's share of its trade and aid, he needn't lose too much sleep over the fact that the rest of the world will probably still refuse to recognize his election if Zelaya is not restored.

Congress was supposed to have voted on restoration by the end of this week, but the deputies are demanding more time to deliberate. The accord also requires the creation, by week's end, of a multiparty "unity" government to run Honduras until a new President takes office on Jan. 27. But the ongoing dispute over whether Zelaya or Micheletti will be President until then raises doubts over the appointment of such a government. If Zelaya is not restored, his supporters have vowed a boycott of the election and perhaps street demonstrations to impede it. In the plaza in front of Congress, backers of Zelaya, wearing his trademark cowboy hats, this week shouted, "No restoration, no election!" Says Marlin Saucedo, 45, owner of a small textile business, "We're not going to the voting booths like sheep for the oligarchs who led the coup."

The Obama Administration is technically correct when it argues that last week's pact allows it to recognize the Nov. 29 election even without Zelaya's restoration - a result that would let Obama wipe his hands of the Honduras mess while getting U.S. conservatives off his back. But analysts like Diaz warn that to Latin America and the rest of the world, "That would just return us to the same situation as before, leaving Honduras to face the international community with little credibility." Solis herself said this week after arriving in Honduras that "what happens here has implications regionally." And it could certainly have negative implications for Obama's credibility in the region if he is perceived to have brokered a deal that allowed a military coup to succeed. Then again, the U.S. President could always shift the blame by pointing out that it was Zelaya that signed the deal.

"The letter of the accords is dead."         President Manuel Zelaya

  From the Brazilian Embassy at 1:20 a.m. (Honduras Time) President Manuel
Zelaya states that neither the spirit nor the context of the agreement has
been upheld.

"The 3rd of November I received a letter stating: 'Mr. Citizen Manuel Zelaya
Rosales under the direction of the President of Honduras Roberto Micheletti,
and in order to fulfill point 1. of the accord, we ask you to submit the
names of 10 citizens, from which we will choose those that will comprise the
integrated unity government to be  presided by President Roberto Micheletti.
We await your prompt response.' They have made a joke of the process, of the
Honduran people's rights, and of the international community, by announcing
that the coup leaders would preside over the unity government, when the
accord was signed on the basis of restoring democratic order. All the
concessions that they asked me to make, I have made just so that the reality
of the spirit of the coup regime could be exposed.  *Today the letter of the
agreement is dead.  We consider their continued actions to delay restitution
intolerable and the Tegucigalpa-San Jose accord is dead*."

*Micheletti Announces Unified Government without Restitution of President
Manuel Zelaya*

"Micheletti indicated that the coup regime is committed to the fulfillment
of each of the points outlined in the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accord."
Telesurtv.net

Despite this statement , he has evidenced the contrary by proceeding to form
the unity government, without the restoration of the legitimate president,
Manuel Zelaya.

"One hour before the pronouncement of the de facto regime, the ex minister
of the Presidency of the coup government in Honduras, Rafael Pineda Ponce,
assured that Mr. Micheletti will continue to preside over the Unified
National Government, without the congress addressing the issue of the
restitution of constitutional president Manuel Zelaya by the date indicated
-- this past Thursday." Telesurtv.net

PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC

>From the Desk of the President
Tegucigalpa November 6, 2009
Translation by Patricia Adams, The Quixote Center.

DECLARATION

*Our weapon are ideas, our struggle is peaceful

Agreement Failed because of Micheletti's Failure to Comply.

In the face of the mockery that Mr. Micheletti has made of the Honduran
People and the International Community: boycotting the Tegucigalpa/San Jose
Agreement; letting the deadline for the creation of the Government of Unity
pass without convening the National Congress, as is within his power and
responsibility to do per the written agreement; the lack of a will to
fulfill the Agreement in both letter and spirit is clear; ignoring the Plan
Arias proposal, as well as the OAS and the UN resolutions; we declare that
the Agreement has been a failure, because of the failure of the de facto
regime to comply with the commitment to organize and install a government of
unity and national reconciliation by this date; a government which should by
law be presided over by the President elected by the People, Jos? Manuel
Zelaya Rosales.

- We are not willing to give up the rights of the people by legitimating
this Coup d' etat.

- We do not accept the militarization of society nor that the President of
Honduras be named by the elite of the Armed Forces.

- Democracy is the highest good of society and is the only path for
confronting the problems of the third poorest economy in Latin America, and
therefore we are not willing to be cheated nor that our Democracy be robbed
from us.

- The permanent violations of Human Rights, the cancelation of public
freedoms, the confiscation of communication media, as well as the status of
the President elected by the people who is surrounded by the military inside
the Brazilian Embassy and the political witch hunting, is all proof of the
preparation of an enormous Political-Electoral fraud on November 29th.

- We announce that we will completely ignore this electoral process and the
results of the aforementioned evils, elections under a dictatorship are a
fraud for the people.

- We invite the Ministers of the OAS to make immediate pronouncements about
the actions of the government legitimately elected by the people of
Honduras, and to continue to condemn and ignore this de facto regime.

- On behalf of the people, we thank the International Community, the OAS,
Secretary Insulza, the ex-President of Chile Mr Ricardo Lagos Escobar, and
the US Labor Secretary Mrs Hilda Sol?s.

Carlos H. Reyes se retira de comicios hondure?os

La candidatura de Reyes, que en una encuesta publicada la semana pasada aparec?a como el tercero en las preferencias del electorado

?
Tegucigalpa, 
Honduras
El candidato independiente a la Presidencia de Honduras, el izquierdista Carlos Reyes, anunci? hoy la retirada de su candidatura al considerar que participar equivaldr?a a "legitimar el golpe de Estado" del 28 de junio pasado contra Manuel Zelaya.

"Para nosotros el tiempo se acab? y nos retiramos del proceso electoral. Definitivamente, nos retiramos y ma?ana lo vamos a comunicar al Tribunal" Superior Electoral, declar?.

La candidatura de Reyes, que en una encuesta publicada la semana pasada aparec?a como el tercero en las preferencias del electorado, pero con apenas un cuatro por ciento de la intenci?n de voto, est? integrada en el Frente de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado, que defiende la restituci?n de Zelaya en su cargo y que se propone boicotear los comicios generales del 29 de noviembre.

Reyes, con un brazo vendado por las heridas que le provoc? la polic?a durante una manifestaci?n en favor de Zelaya a principios de junio, anunci? su decisi?n al final de una votaci?n en una asamblea en Tegucigalpa del movimiento que le apoya, en la que participaron unas 500 personas.

Asegur? que, a nivel nacional, el resultado de la consulta fue de un 96 por ciento de gente que votaba por retirarse de las elecciones, frente a un cuatro por ciento que prefer?a participar.

El aspirante ha estado planteando desde hace semanas la retirada de su candidatura, al considerar que las condiciones en el pa?s tras el 28 de junio contra Zelaya no permiten unas elecciones libres y transparentes, pero hab?an demorado su decisi?n ante la posibilidad de un acuerdo para que ?ste recobrase el poder.

Sin embargo, el mandatario derrocado declar? definitivamente roto el di?logo con el r?gimen de facto tras dar por fracasado el pacto al que hab?an llegado tras meses de negociaciones ante la decisi?n del presidente de facto, Roberto Micheletti, de querer presidir el Gobierno de unidad que se contemplaba en el tratado.

"Definitivamente no se ha restituido al presidente Zelaya, no se ha vuelto al orden constitucional y nosotros no podemos participar en elecciones en condiciones de ese tipo. Eso ser?a legitimar a los golpistas", a?adi?.

Honduras' golpistas break deal

Shaun Joseph explains what led to the collapse of an agreement that was
supposed to bring Manuel Zelaya back to office in Honduras.

November 9, 2009

THE POLITICAL crisis that began with the June 28 coup d'etat against
President Manuel Zelaya has reopened afresh after the collapse of a
U.S.-brokered deal apparently agreed to by coup leader Roberto Micheletti
that was supposed to return Zelaya to office.

The agreement, known as the Tegucigalpa/San Jos? Accords, was struck October
28 under the auspices of Thomas Shannon and Daniel Restrepo--respectively
the top Latin America hands for the U.S. State Department and the Obama
White House.

One week later, the deal was in tatters, with its first important step--the
installation of a "government of unity and national reconciliation" by
November 5--devolved into a typically absurd display of Micheletti's
chutzpah.

The accords didn't formally mandate the reinstatement of Zelaya, but the
ousted president clearly expected to return to office by November 5.
Zelaya's confidence in this interpretation, also shared by other
governments, is strong evidence that the U.S. negotiators guaranteed
Zelaya's return.

Because this was for many--including the popular anti-coup resistance--a
precondition for recognition of upcoming elections, scheduled for November
29, tolerating Zelaya until the end of his term in January would have been
the most intelligent option for the Honduras' elite.

Although the business class backed the coup, the relentless struggle of the
resistance has prevented the Micheletti's regime from consolidating and
legitimating itself, opening up splits among the country's rulers about
whether to continue backing the coupmakers. The elections would have given
Honduras' business interests an opportunity to go back to "business as
usual," ending months of exhausting--and expensive--political instability.

But the "golpistas" arrogance has often ruled the day during the coup, and
it appears to have done so again.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

THE FIRST omens that the coup regime would back out of the agreement came
immediately after it was signed, with pro-coup legislators openly predicted
that Zelaya would not be restored--and this didn't draw any objection from
U.S. officials.

The appointment of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to the agreement's
Verification Commission was a further sign of the Obama administration's
lack of seriousness, given the contrast between the primarily domestic
responsibilities of a labor secretary and the need for international
experience in a critical diplomatic mission.

On November 3, the golpista-controlled Executive Council of the National
Congress declared that it wouldn't convene to discuss the restoration of
Zelaya until *after* the November 29 elections.

At the same time, Micheletti let it be known that he would be assembling a
unity government under his own (illegal) authority. Minutes before midnight
on November 5, he announced the formation of his unilateral "Government of
Unity and National Reconciliation." Its leader was that proven uniter and
reconciler: Roberto Micheletti.

The National Resistance Front Against the Coup d'Etat had greeted the
expected reinstatement of Zelaya under the accords as a "popular victory
over...the pro-coup oligarchy." But the unfolding reality has signaled the
agreement's collapse. In its communiqu? of November
5<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/2009/11/comunicado-no-33.html>[1],
the Front announced that if Zelaya were not reinstated by midnight, it
would not recognize the elections. The next day, Zelaya declared the
agreement a "failure" and also issued a statement calling for
non-recognition of the
election<http://www.telesurtv.net/noticias/secciones/nota/61184-NN/gobierno-constitucional-declara-fracaso-en-acuerdo-de-tegucigalpa/>[2],
saying, "Elections under dictatorship are a fraud for the people."

The collapse of the Tegucigalpa/San Jos? Accords marks the third breakdown
of attempts to reconcile the legitimate government and the coup regime
through negotiations. Each time, the failure was due to the intransigence of
the golpistas--who seem incapable of making concessions even when it's in
their own greater interests to do so.

The coupmakers have exhausted the patience of even bourgeois diplomats.
Former Chilean President Ricardo Lagos, a member of the Verification
Commission, bluntly blamed Micheletti for breaking the agreement. Costa
Rican President Oscar Arias, a U.S. client who has been trying to impose a
basically pro-oligarchy "compromise" in Honduras, complained that the
golpistas "are looking, by means of delaying tactics, to pass the time until
the elections come, risking that the future government will not be
recognized by some countries."

For its part, the Obama administration has slouched from its confident
declaration of success on October 28 to a more typical posture of
self-contradiction.

In an alarming November 3 interview with CNN en Espa?ol, Thomas Shannon
indicated that the U.S. would recognize the Honduran elections even without
the restoration of Zelaya--apparently, a reversal of U.S. policy.

Worse, two days later, Republican Sen. Jim DeMint issued a press
release<http://demint.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=c6542515-c3af-d65a-085d-537015ff8a97>[3]
claiming that he had "secured a commitment from the Obama
administration
to recognize the Honduran elections on November 29th, regardless of whether
former President Manuel Zelaya is returned to office and regardless of
whether the vote on reinstatement takes place before or after November
29th."

DeMint cited personal assurances from both Shannon and Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. Yet the State Department refused to confirm or deny
DeMint's claims, leading to complete confusion about what official U.S.
policy actually is--or if it exists.

Over the weekend, Micheletti--apparently under pressure from U.S. Ambassador
Hugo Llorens--announced a "waiting period" before installing his "unity
government." However, a meeting between Llorens and representatives of
Zelaya and Micheletti got nowhere.

Furthermore, Llorens told Radio America, "The elections will be part of the
reality, and will return Honduras to a path to democracy." Even if the U.S.
had always intended to recognize the elections, it makes no sense to say so
now--this give ups any U.S. leverage with the golpistas and exposes
Washington politically. Obama's policy, simultaneously cynical and stupid,
arouses nothing but contempt.

If the Honduran coup is, as resistance leader Juan Barahona characterized
it, an "experiment in turning back the clock" to the days before the advance
of the populist trends in Latin America, then the U.S. has let the
experiment go awry. Its tacit backing of the coup is on the verge of
becoming explicit, bringing the Obama administration down on the unpopular
side of a deeply divisive issue across the hemipshere.

Although few Latin American governments are eager to cross the U.S., most
will find it difficult or impossible to support elections conducted under a
manifestly illegal dictatorship that is widely hated by the Latin American
public. This is the kind of "with us or against us" policy that other
governments hoped the Obama administration would abandon.

The situation inside Honduras defies prediction. As Berta C?ceres of COPINH,
the indigenous resistance organization, said in a November 1
speech<http://hondurasresists.blogspot.com/2009/11/berta-caceres-we-only-have-one-option.html>[4],
"[I]f there is a scenario...where they don't reinstate the president,
then this country will approach a tremendous situation. Greater repression
and violence, maybe even a civil war, which the people don't want, and then
more isolation."

One should also add the possibility of international war, given the
golpistas' isolation, xenophobia and provocations--particularly against the
Brazilian Embassy where Zelaya has stayed since his secret return to
Tegucigalpa.

Yet as C?ceres insists, "In all of these scenarios, brothers and sisters, we
only have one option. In all of them--in whichever one that happens--it is
to struggle. It is to continue in the resistance. It is to march towards the
refounding of this country."

Zelaya Denounces Coup Plan For Elections
*November 8,2009 *
*Radio Globo Interview*

 *Zelaya denounced a plan to take place in the next few days led by the coup
leadership to replace Roberto Micheletti with another coup leader in order
to claim Micheletti has renounced the presidency, that the unity goverment
can move forward  and to create a fraudulent cover and claim legitimization
of electoral process. *
*

*
*"The democratic process occurs at the ballot box- but Micheletti thinks
that he can announce himself or another as the president. He has made a joke
of the 4 months of time that  U.S. Secretary Clinton,  President Oscar
Arias, OAS, the entire entire international community have been dialoguing.
** We are three weeks away from the date of elections and there have been no
campaigns.  The majority of people are in resistance, others are trying to
go along to get along, but there is a lot of confusion- and people do not
know who to vote for- without public campaigns how can there be an open
transparent electoral process?"


*
 *Regarding Independant candidate Carlos H. Reyes decision to not engage in
the electoral process- President Zelaya re-iterated the lack of transparency
of the electoral process and commended the decision.  He added, **" The U.S.
is backing off with pressure from Micheletti, but I will not back  off ,the
Honduran people and the resistace will not back off until their voice is
heard.  I maintain my position. The position of the people of Honduras -
 Complete condemnation of the coup.  We refuse violence and military rule in
Honduras.  We do not want to live in war. "


When asked about a return to dialouge, Zelaya said, "I will not return to
dialogue with Micheletti because they have killed the letter of the
agreement- it is dead."  He stated the situation was now back in the hands
of the OAS and added, " The OAS has a charter and a mission.  Now they have
two choices, either they can just have the letter be, or they can ensure
that the mission and charter are upheld by the means at their disposal to
ensure the return to pre coup state."

Subject: [HNA] Comunicado No. 34 del Frente en Honduras
Message-ID: <720333.57219.qm@web38907.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Comunicado No. 34

El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado comunica a la poblaci?n hondure?a y la comunidad internacional.

1.      Al haber vencido el plazo establecido para el jueves 5 de noviembre a las 12 de la noche sin haber sido restituido el presidente leg?timo Manuel Zelaya Rosales, declaramos nuestro desconocimiento activo del proceso electoral del 29 de noviembre del presente a?o.  

Unas elecciones impulsadas por un r?gimen de facto que reprime y atropella los derechos humanos y pol?ticos de los ciudadanos y ciudadanas, ser?an s?lo una forma de validaci?n de la dictadura de la oligarqu?a a nivel nacional e internacional, y un m?todo para asegurar la continuaci?n de un sistema que margina y explota a los sectores populares para garantizar los privilegios de unos pocos.

La participaci?n en tal proceso le dar?a legitimidad al r?gimen golpista o a su sucesor que se instalar?a fraudulentamente el 27 de enero de 2010.

2.      El desconocimiento de la farsa electoral se mantendr? firme a?n cuando durante el per?odo comprendido entre el d?a de hoy y el 29 de noviembre, fuera restituido en su cargo el Presidente Manuel Zelaya, en vista de que 20 d?as o menos es un lapso muy corto para desmontar el fraude electoral que se fragu? para asegurar que uno de los representantes de la oligarqu?a golpista sea impuesto para darle continuidad a su proyecto antidemocr?tico y represor.

Lo anterior no significa que hemos renunciado a nuestro reclamo fundamental de regresar a Honduras al orden institucional, que incluye el retorno del presidente Zelaya al cargo para el que fue elegido por el pueblo hondure?o por cuatro a?os.

3.      Hoy m?s que nunca se demuestra que el ejercicio de la democracia participativa a trav?s de la instalaci?n de la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente no s?lo es un derecho innegociable sino la ?nica v?a para dotar de un sistema pol?tico democr?tico e incluyente a la poblaci?n hondure?a.  

4.      Denunciamos la actitud c?mplice del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, que maniobr? para dilatar la crisis y ahora muestra su verdadera intenci?n de validar el r?gimen golpista y asegurar que el siguiente gobierno sea d?cil a los intereses de las compa??as transnacionales y su proyecto de control regional. Por ello, consideramos correcta la decisi?n del Presidente Manuel Zelaya de declarar fracasado el Acuerdo de Tegucigalpa que forma parte de la estrategia norteamericana de dilatar su restituci?n para validar el proceso electoral.

5.      Hacemos un llamado a las organizaciones y candidaturas pol?ticas que se postulan para el 29 de noviembre para que muestren una actitud consecuente con los compromisos asumidos anteriormente y se retiren p?blicamente de la farsa electoral.

6.      Convocamos a la poblaci?n organizada y no organizada a sumarse a las acciones de repudio de la farsa electoral y a promover las acciones de desobediencia civil que realizaremos amparamos en el art?culo 3 de la Constituci?n de la Rep?blica, que nos da derecho a la desobediencia y a la insurrecci?n popular.  

7.      A los gobiernos y pueblos hermanos del mundo los llamamos a mantener la presi?n pol?tica para derrotar la dictadura militar impuesta por la oligarqu?a y el imperialismo, as? como a desconocer las falsas elecciones del 29 de noviembre y a las autoridades espurias que pretendan presentarse como representantes electos por el pueblo.

Chicago, IL 60680
--------------------


La Voz de los de Abajo expresa nuestra profunda preocupaci?n por la situaci?n en Honduras hoy, a 134 d?as desde el golpe y una semana despu?s de la firma del acuerdo Guaymara en Tegucigalpa.

Ya quedo claro que el acuerdo, negociado por los EEUU con Micheletti y Zelaya tiene como prop?sito proveer de una floja justificaci?n para legitimizar las elecciones del 29 de noviembre y la continuaci?n del gobierno militar golpista.

Aun cuando la mayor?a de los hondure?os piensan que el acuerdo incluye la restituci?n del Sr. Zelaya para concluir su periodo; la interpretaci? n tanto del gobierno de facto y del gobierno de los EEUU es que la decisi?n de restaurar a Zelaya recae sobre el congreso golpista el cual no se ha molestado ni siquiera a reunirse formalmente y aprobar o no el acuerdo. El as? llamado gobierno de unidad nacional y reconciliaci? n consistir?a entonces de un pu?ado de representantes del presidente Zelaya bajo un presidente, un congreso, un gabinete, una suprema corte y tribunal electoral golpistas.

A esta fecha, noviembre 8 de 2009, el Frente Nacional en Contra del Golpe denuncio el acuerdo y confirmo que no participara ni reconocer? la legitimidad de las elecciones del 29 de noviembre. El presidente Zelaya denuncio la mala fe de los EEUU y del gobierno de facto y declaro que los acuerdos han terminado. La presi?n internacional para que Zelaya y la Resistencia se rindan esta creciendo, con la Uni?n Europea llamando a Zelaya a regresar a las negociaciones, y los EEUU declarando que van a reconocer las elecciones.

Esto abre el camino para m?s represi?n y violencia en contra de la Resistencia y para la justificaci?n de esta represi?n como una defensa del "proceso electoral legitimo".

La Voz de los de Abajo llama a todos aquellos preocupados por la justicia social en Honduras salir en contra de esta desvergonzada maniobra que se dio en las negociaciones y para continuar el apoyo a la Resistencia del Frente Nacional y al pueblo hondure?o.

La semana pasada comenzamos con otras organizaciones a enviar cartas y a hacer llamadas al presidente Obama y al Departamento de Estado de los EEUU expresando nuestra preocupaci?n y enojo (nuestra carta a Obama aparece debajo de este escrito).

El viernes, 13 de Noviembre vamos a visitar las oficinas de congresistas y senadores durante el dia y finalizar el dia con un mitin y conferencia de prensa en la Plaza Federal en Chicago.
!Todos Somos Honduras! We are all Honduras!

Open Letter to President Obama

November 7, 2009
Chicago, IL
President Barack Obama
The White House
Washington, DC

Dear President Obama:

This is to urge you to keep your earlier commitment that the United States will only recognize the November 28, 2009 elections in Honduras if President Manuel Zelaya is returned to office.

The accord reached last week was agreed to with the understanding that the Honduran Congress would promptly vote on the reinstatement of President Zelaya under the terms of the accord. That has not happened.

Assistant Secretary Shannon's statement that the U.S. would recognize the election's vote whether or not President Zelaya is reinstated prior to the election is counter to what your administration has said previously, including during the negotiations, and counter to what the international community has mandated.

With control of the army now under the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, mass tear gassing and beating of protestors has continued. There is a total lack of political space for opposition candidates to campaign and for the expression of any dissident political opinion. Under the current coup regime, conditions for free, fair and open elections are non-existent.

Our government must honor its commitment to reject recognition of elections carried out under the coup regime.

Respectfully,

[send your letters today; please send a copy to La Voz de los de Abajo-Chicago]

Subject: [HNA] The Front statement on elections in Honduras
Message-ID: <804139.48936.qm@web38902.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

The National Front of Resistance Against the Coup declares to the Honduran people and the International Community 

(Communique #34)

Translated by Patricia Adams, Quixote Center

1.Since the midnight deadline of Thursday November 5th passed without the restitution of legitimate president Manual Zelaya, we declare we will actively ignore the electoral process of 29 November of this year.

Elections which are driven by a de facto regime that represses and violates the human and political rights of the citizenry would only validate nationally and internationally the oligarchical dictatorship and secure the continuation of a system which marginalizes and exploits popular sectors in order to guarantee the privileges of a few.

Participation in such a process would give legitimacy to the coup regime and to its successor which would be fraudulently installed on January 27, 2010.

2.The refusal to acknowledge the electoral farce will remain firm between now and the elections even if President Manuel Zelaya is re-instated. A period of 20 days is too little time to dismantle an electoral fraud conceived to ensure that one of the representatives of the coup-leading oligarchy will be put in place and therefore give continuity to its repressive and anti-democratic project.

The prior statement does not mean that we have renounced our fundamental demand that constitutional order be returned to Honduras, including the return of President Zelaya to the position for which he was chosen by the Honduran people to fill for four years.

3.Now more than ever it is clear that the exercise of participatory democracy through the installation of a Constituent Assembly is not just a non-negotiable right but also the only way to provide the Honduran people with a democratic and inclusive political system.

4.We denounce the complicit attitude of the US government, maneuvering to stall the crisis and now showing its true intention to validate the coup regime, thereby ensuring that the successor government will be docile in the face of the interests of transnational companies and their goal of regional control. Therefore, we consider correct the decision made by President Zelaya to declare the failure of the Tegucigalpa Agreement, an agreement which is part of the US strategy to stall Zelaya's restitution in order to validate the electoral process.

5.We call on all organizations and candidates in the November 29th elections to act in accordance with previously-stated commitments and publicly pull out of the electoral farce.

6.We call together the mobilized and as yet unorganized sectors of the population to join actions which reject the electoral farce and promote acts of civil disobedience, the support for which is found in Article 3 of the Constitution of the Republic, which gives us the right to disobedience and popular insurrection.

7.To the friendly nations and peoples of the world, we call on you to maintain political pressure to overthrow the military dictatorship imposed by oligarchy and imperialism, as well as commit to recognize neither the illegitimate elections of November 29 nor the spurious authorities who seek to pass themselves off as elected representatives of the people. 

"We resist and we will win."
Tegucigalpa 9 November 2009

CISPES Action Alert: Tell the U.S. to Stop Supporting the Honduran Coup Regime! 


11/10/09.- The State Department announced last week that it intends to recognize the results of the upcoming November 29 elections in Honduras with or without democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya back in power. (Read the November 6 response statement from Honduran President Manuel Zelaya at the end of this alert.) Up until last week the U.S. had joined the rest of the international community in condemning the June 28 coup that ousted President Zelaya, and calling for his return to power as a prerequisite for recognizing the results of the November 29 Presidential elections in Honduras. 

For the people of Honduras -- who have peacefully protested to restore democracy throughout Honduras every single day for four months following the coup -- the Department of State?s reversal constitutes nothing short of a slap in the face and a tremendous blow to Honduran democracy. 

Since the coup, the violent coup regime has leveled more than 4,000 violations of human rights against the Honduran people, including more than 3,000 illegal detentions and 12 political assassinations of members of citizen groups opposed to the coup. It is in this framework of egregious violations of human rights and the threat of media shutdowns that the coup regime pretends to hold ?free and fair? elections. 

The National Front of Resistance Against the Coup in Honduras has put forward three clear demands: 

? The return to constitutional order with the reinstatement of the legitimate president, Manuel Zelaya Rosales 
? Respect for the sovereign right of the Honduran people to establish a National Constituent Assembly for the purpose of refounding their nation 
? Punishment for those who have violated human rights. 

Take a stand in support of the Honduran resistance to the coup and demand that the State Department and President Obama government end their support for a brutal, repressive and anti-democratic regime! 

TAKE ACTION! 

1. Call the State Department and leave a message for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Assistant Secretary Thomas Shannon: 202-647-4000. 

Tell them not to recognize the coup regime?s illegitimate elections that are scheduled for November 29. President Zelaya must be reinstated as the first step for the restoration of democracy in Honduras! 

2. Then call the White House and leave a second message for President Barack Obama and Dan Restrepo (Special Assistant to the President and National Security Council Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Affairs): 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414. 

Members and supporters of the Honduran resistance movement to the de facto Micheletti regime will be protesting the State Department on TUESDAY, November 10 at 12:15. Tell these government agencies that you support the demonstrators and their message?end the U.S. support for the repressive coup regime! Do not recognize the elections until President Zelaya is reinstated!

Statement by Honduran President Manuel Zelaya: 

PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC 
>From the Desk of the President 

Tegucigalpa November 6, 2009 

[Translation by Patricia Adams, The Quixote Center. Original Spanish version below.] 

DECLARATION 

Our weapon are ideas, our struggle is peaceful - Agreement Failed because of Micheletti?s Failure to Comply. 

In the face of the mockery that Mr. Micheletti has made of the Honduran People and the International Community: boycotting the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Agreement; letting the deadline for the creation of the Government of Unity pass without convening the National Congress, as is within his power and responsibility to do per the written agreement; the lack of a will to fulfill the Agreement in both letter and spirit is clear; ignoring the Plan Arias proposal, as well as the OAS and the UN resolutions; we declare that the Agreement has been a failure, because of the failure of the de facto regime to comply with the commitment to organize and install a government of unity and national reconciliation by this date; a government which should by law be presided over by the President elected by the People, Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales. 

1. We are not willing to give up the rights of the people by legitimating this Coup d?Etat. 

2. We do not accept the militarization of society nor that the President of Honduras be named by the elite of the Armed Forces. 

3. Democracy is the highest good of society and is the only path for confronting the problems of the third poorest economy in Latin America, and therefore we are not willing to be cheated nor that our Democracy be robbed from us. 

4. The permanent violations of Human Rights, the cancellation of public freedoms, the confiscation of communication media, as well as the status of the President elected by the people who is surrounded by the military inside the Brazilian Embassy and the political witch hunting, is all proof of the preparation of an enormous Political-Electoral fraud on November 29th. 

5. We announce that we will completely ignore this electoral process and the results of the aforementioned evils, elections under a dictatorship are a fraud for the people. 

6. We invite the Ministers of the OAS to make immediate pronouncements about the actions of the government legitimately elected by the people of Honduras, and to continue to condemn and ignore this de facto regime. 

7. On behalf of the people, we thank the International Community, the OAS, Secretary Insulza, the ex- President of Chile Mr Ricardo Lagos Escobar, and the US Labor Secretary Mrs Hilda Sol?s. 

Versi?n original en espa?ol: 

PRESIDENCIA DE LA REPUBLICA 
Del Escritorio de Se?or Presidente 
Tegucigalpa 6 de noviembre del 2009 

PRONUNCIAMIENTO 

Nuestra armas son las ideas, nuestra lucha es pacifica 
Fracasa Acuerdo por Incumplimiento de Micheletti. 

Ante la burla que el Se?or Micheletti ha inferido al pueblo Hondure?o y a la Comunidad Internacional, Boicoteando el Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San Jos? y dejar que se vencieran los plazos para la Organizaci?n del Gobierno de Unidad al no convocar al Congreso Nacional de acuerdo a sus facultades y compromisos suscritos, evidentemente se manifiesta la falta de voluntad para cumplir la letra y el esp?ritu del Acuerdo, desconociendo la propuesta del Plan Arias, la resoluciones de Organizaci?n de Estados Americanos de Naciones Unidas, declaramos fracasado el Acuerdo por el incumplimiento del r?gimen de facto del compromiso de que a esta fecha deb?a de estar organizado e instalado el gobierno de unidad y de Reconciliaci?n nacional; El que por ley debe de ser presidido por el Presidente Electo por el Pueblo Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales. 

1. Que no estamos dispuestos a perder los derechos del pueblo legitimando este Golpe de Estado. 

2. No aceptamos que se militarice la sociedad y que el Presidente de Honduras sea nombrado en las C?pulas de las Fuerzas Armadas. 

3. La Democracia es un bien supremo de la sociedad y es el ?nico camino para enfrentar los problemas de la tercera econom?a mas pobre de Latinoam?rica por lo que no estamos dispuestos a permitir que nos roben con este tipo de trampas nuestra Democracia. 

4. Las violaciones permanentes de los Derechos Humanos, la cancelaci?n de las libertades p?blicas, y la confiscaci?n de medios de comunicaci?n al igual que la situaci?n del Presidente electo por el pueblo rodeado por militares en la sede Diplom?tica del Brasil y la persecuci?n Pol?tica es la prueba evidente de la preparaci?n de un gran fraude Pol?tico-Electoral para el 29 de noviembre. 

5. Anunciamos nuestro total desconocimiento a este proceso electoral y a los resultados por los vicios antes mencionados, elecciones bajo dictadura son un fraude para el pueblo. 

6. Invitar de manera inmediata a los Cancilleres de la OEA a que se pronuncien sobre lo que acontece en el gobierno leg?timamente electo por el pueblo Hondure?o y continu? la condena y el desconocimiento a este r?gimen de facto. 

7. Agradecemos al pueblo el apoyo brindado por la Comunidad Internacional, a la Organizaci?n de Estados Americano, secretario insulsa al ex Presidente de Chile Se?or Ricardo Lagos Escobar, a la Ministra de Trabajo del Gobierno de Estados Unidos Se?ora Hilda Sol?s. 

Thanks to School of the Americas Watch, Alliance for Global Justice and Hondure?os por la Democracia for the content of this alert.

Subject: [HNA] Response to Lanny Davis on Honduras
Message-ID: <1d602de70911110829j7529b864q5d60825230ebf317@mail.gmail.com>

Dear editors,

In his article concerning recent developments in Honduras, Lanny Davis skews
the situation in that country, perpetrating outright mistruths that serve
only the military/empresarial coup he is being paid to represent.
    While it is wise for those of us who oppose the coup to refuse the bait
of Davis? sophistry, we must call out the absurdity of arguing that a
grossly unconstitutional act?the ordering of the arrest of President Manuel
Zelaya, and the subsequent violation of Costa Rican airspace that led to his
forced exile?was done in the name of that very constitution.
    If Zelaya had indeed violated the Honduran magna carta, and if all the
high offices in the land agreed on this point?including the congress, the
united business leaders, and the supreme court?then why couldn?t they depose
him by legal means? Why not put it to a referendum? Why not afford the
president his right to due process?
    The simple answer is that there never was a case against him. Not once
did Zelaya mention reshaping the constitution so to be reelected, as the
coup-plotters claim, and as Lanny Davis has repeated on these pages without
a shred of evidence.
    For four months now, the Honduran people have struggled against the
brutal, albeit tempered military rule of Roberto Micheletti. Some thirty
members of the resistance have been assassinated, thousands of Hondurans
have been illegally detained, and media have been shut down, as well as
curfews at the whim of the regime, & dozens of rapes at the hands of the
military. All of this is well documented by COFADEH, Honduras? leading human
rights organization.
    With the signing of the Tegucigalpa-San Jose accords, Micheletti finally
appeared to have broken the impasse centered around the restitution of
Zelaya, which has been called for not only by the United States and the
United Nations, but also by the EU, the OAS, and virtually every country in
the hemisphere. But when Micheletti informed the country that he himself
would lead the ?reconciliation government,? and it became clear that the
congress had no intention of putting the accord to a vote until after the
November 29 elections, Zelaya announced that the deal was dead. Elections
can not take place until the rule of law is restored in Honduras.
    Perhaps President Zelaya erred in signing the accord, and in trusting
the people who overturned him. But this formality, a product of the
manipulation of the illegal regime, should not fool us into recognizing the
results of elections carried out under dictatorial circumstances.
    In the words of Zelaya: ?We trust that the United States, as it has done
until now, continues to accompany the Honduran people and the Latin American
community in this pacific process of reconstructing democracy and the rule
of law, refusing to recognize the use of the armed forces to resolve
political conflicts by means of the coup d?etat.?
    The tyrant will always have a pretext for his tyranny. But if we really
believe in democracy and the soveriegnty of nations, we will refute that
pretext and support the Honduran people in their struggle for a more just
country.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

AFT 1021, part of United Teachers Los Angeles, representing over 10,000
teachers and professional education support personnel, passed the following
motion at its meeting Thursday, 11/12/09.


*Emergency Resolution on the Current Crisis in Honduras*

*Whereas*, following the June 28, 2009 military coup in Honduras, the
AFL-CIO National Convention passed a resolution in September demanding
immediate reinstatement of President Manuel Zelaya, restoration of all labor
and democratic rights, and an immediate halt to all U.S. aid to the coup
government; and

*Whereas*, a U.S.-brokered deal [the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accords] to
reinstate President Zelaya by November 5th -- in preparation for the Nov.
29th elections -- has unraveled, and the coup regime refused to restore
Zelaya to the Presidency. As a result, President Zelaya, denouncing the "bad
faith" of the U.S. government, said the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accords were "a
dead letter,? and

*Whereas*, President Zelaya is still taking refuge in the Brazilian Embassy
and the Honduran people led by the National Resistance Front Against the
Coup (including many teachers in the leadership) continue to mount massive
daily demonstrations against the coup regime; which responds with mass
tear-gassing and beating of protesters by U.S.-trained army and police in an
attempt to suppress the popular will and prevent the exercise of democratic
rights; and

*Whereas*, there is a total lack of political space for opposition
candidates to campaign and for the expression of any dissident political
opinion, and under the current coup regime, conditions for free, fair and
open elections are non-existent; and

*Whereas*, the National Resistance Front has denounced the Nov. 29th
elections as a scheme by "the de facto regime that is repressing the people
and violating the civil and human rights of its citizens, with the goal of
validating the dictatorship of the oligarchy," and that participating in
such an electoral exercise "would give legitimacy to the coup regime or its
successor." The Front also stressed that "our stance in opposition to the
electoral farce will remain firm even if President Zelaya is reinstated
between now and Nov. 29th, since 20 days or less is too short a time to
dismantle an electoral fraud many months in the making," and there is no
time for opposition candidates to mount a campaign;

*Therefore be it resolved*, that AFT 1021 stand in solidarity with the
heroic people of Honduras as they resist the savage repression of a military
dictatorship, and fight to win real democracy and sovereignty for their
country; and

*Be it further resolved*, that AFT 1021 send official letters to
Congressional representatives, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and
President Obama demanding that the U.S. government take strong measures
against the repressive coup government in Honduras -- and whatever
government may succeed it as a result of the "electoral farce" scheduled for
Nov. 29th. These measures should include: 1) Immediately break off all
political and economic ties with the coup government and its successor; 2)
Recall the U.S. ambassador; 3) Establish an economic embargo on all trade
and aid to Honduras; 4) Freeze the U.S. bank accounts of the coup plotters
and deny them visas for U.S. travel; 5) Shut down U.S. military bases in
Honduras; and

*Be it further resolved*, that AFT 1021 demand that the U.S. government
denounce and refuse to recognize the results of Nov. 29th elections or any
electoral process organized under the repressive coup regime; and

*Be it further resolved*, that AFT 1021 will submit this resolution as an
emergency resolution at the Delegate Assembly of the County Federation of
Labor on Monday, November 16, 2009 and further encourage its other
affiliates, such as CFT and AFT to adopt similar resolutions; and

*Finally be it resolved*, that AFT 1021 make common cause with other labor
and community organizations, to develop a reliable support network for the
National Resistance Front against the Coup, and for the labor unions,
especially the teachers union, that are at the center of the Resistance
movement in Honduras.

m?s r?pidamente" para restituir al depuesto presidente, Manuel Zelaya, y 
que ha habido un "deterioro" de la situaci?n de los derechos humanos 
tras el derrocamiento de este.

"El Congreso deber?a avanzar m?s r?pidamente para restituir al 
presidente y el orden democr?tico", dijo Schakowsky, congresista por 
Illinois, en una rueda de prensa al t?rmino de una visita a Honduras, 
durante la cual conoci? la situaci?n de los derechos humanos posterior 
al golpe de Estado del 28 de junio contra Zelaya.

"No estoy calificada para comentar sobre el proceso" que est? llevando a 
cabo el Parlamento hondure?o, pero "espero que se vaya avanzando", 
apunt? la legisladora.

"Creo que el presidente electo debe ser restituido y el Congreso debe 
tomar acciones lo m?s pronto posible" para ello, a?adi?.

El Congreso Nacional debe decidir sobre la restituci?n de Zelaya, seg?n 
el acuerdo firmado por las comisiones de di?logo del depuesto gobernante 
y del presidente de facto, Roberto Micheletti, el 30 de octubre pasado, 
que no establece plazo para que los diputados resuelvan.

La junta directiva del Congreso pidi? el pasado d?a 3 las opiniones de 
la Corte Suprema de Justicia, el Ministerio P?blico, la Procuradur?a 
General de la Rep?blica y el Comisionado Nacional de los Derechos 
Humanos, el ?nico que ha enviado su respuesta.

La Corte Suprema nombr? ayer una comisi?n para que presente un dictamen 
al pleno en los pr?ximos d?as, y la procuradora general, Rosa Am?rica 
Miranda, indic? que su opini?n podr?a estar lista a m?s tardar el lunes.

Schakowsky refiri? que lleg? a Honduras el pasado martes, invitada por 
el Comit? de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras 
(COFADEH), y que se reuni? con representantes de organismos 
humanitarios, empresariales y del Congreso, entre otros.

"Por lo que he visto, es obvio que ha habido un deterioro de la 
situaci?n de los derechos humanos" tras el golpe de Estado, se?al?, y 
a?adi? que escuch? "personalmente el testimonio de varias v?ctimas" o 
familiares de estas.

Al informar sobre la visita que hizo ayer, mi?rcoles a Zelaya en la 
embajada de Brasil en Tegucigalpa, consider? que "?l mismo es v?ctima de 
abuso de los derechos humanos" y "est? como preso" en esa legaci?n, 
donde permanece desde el 21 de septiembre pasado, luego de volver 
clandestinamente a Honduras.

La legisladora estadounidense relat? que durante la reuni?n, Zelaya le 
hizo o?r "una grabaci?n de la m?sica y los ruidos" emitidos por aparatos 
instalados por las fuerzas de seguridad afuera de la sede diplom?tica, 
sonidos que ella calific? de "intolerables".

Adem?s, dijo, pudo ver los grandes reflectores que por la noche iluminan 
la embajada y ella misma fue acompa?ada al edificio por "un soldado que 
ten?a puesto un pasamonta?as".

"Hay necesidad de que esos abusos paren y haya una restauraci?n del 
orden democr?tico" en Honduras, subray? Schakowsky.

Refiri? que durante su estancia en Honduras se reuni? con familiares de 
Isy Murillo y Wendy ?vila, dos de los cinco muertos registrados en 
incidentes violentos despu?s del golpe de Estado, y conoci? el caso de 
un ni?o de 13 a?os herido de bala, entre otros.

Yes Simon it is important. More important than that some American organizations
are planing to demmand that the US goverrnment pronouce itself on human rights
abuses. I was so impressed by your text yesterday, that I incorporated several
quotes from it to my own conference on the theme to be read at th University of
Chicago, next monday. And I thought I would share it with you all. So I am
attaching it

Subject: [HNA] Zelaya letter to Obama... will not accept restitution
Message-ID: <a0b6e70e0911142009p5ea235d0p4f4852f93ecb7603@mail.gmail.com>

On Radio Globo this evening, President Manuel Zelaya read a letter directed
to President Obama where he stated, " I will not accept any restitution that
poses legitimizing the farse of the elections under current conditions,
for that would legitimize the coup and does  not recognize the The WILL of
the people of HONDURAS" President Zelaya

He also stated in the letter, "As the only recognized President of Honduras
I state, that ANY governmnet recognizing the elections and results of the
elections are jeapordizing their relationship with Honduras."

In comments after reading the letter President Zelaya stated, " They have
forgotten the pain and the abuses received by the Honduran people. They have
forgotten the deaths, the tortures- on those in peaceful demonstrations of
their rights.  I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, My wife Xiomara, my daughter Pichu, my
supporters, those with me, the Honduran people have not forgotten and
we will not forget."

*As Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Bush
hold-over Tomas Shannon was sent by President Obama to Honduras to help end
the four month long coup with a negotiated return of the constitutional
order. The OAS, UN, and European Union all demanded the return to office of
democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya as a condition to recognize
presidential elections scheduled for November 29.*

*Either Shannon defied President Obama?s instructions and plotted with the
coup regime to keep it in power, or he was fooled by thuggish coup leader
Roberto Micheletti into supporting a hoax that the coup regime had no
intention of honoring. After he returned to the US, Shannon gave the green
light for the coup regime to continue the brutal repression condemned by
human rights groups by saying the US would recognize the election, even if
Zelaya is not returned to office! Supporters of democracy in Honduras have
said they will boycott the election; so Shannon?s actions will perpetuate
the crisis and embolden anti-democracy elements in other Latin American
countries. Obama?s stated goal to improve relations with Latin America has
been dealt a serious blow.*

*Shannon?s actions prove him unfit to serve as US ambassador to Brazil. How
can Shannon effectively serve as US ambassador when Brazil has been among
the strongest voices demanding that the Age of Coups in the Americas is over
and that the Honduran coup cannot be allowed to stand?  Brazil has even
sheltered President Zelaya in its Honduran Embassy, a courageous act that
has resulted in its embassy being surrounded by Honduran military troops and
assaulted day and night by high decibel noise and bright lights in violation
of international law.*

*Shannon should be punished, not rewarded for his perfidy or naivet?. US
relations with Brazil are too important to trust to a nave or a fool.*

*The Senate could take up his nomination at any moment so call today!*

 *Labor leader's letter to Hilary Clinton: Nov. 16, 2009: Oppose Elections
as long as repressive "illegitimate government" is in power*
*Trumka: Free Elections Not Possible Now in Honduras*

By James Parks
AFL-CIO blog
November 16, 2009

http://blog.aflcio.org/2009/11/16/trumka-free-elections-not-possible-now-in-honduras/

The continued repression of trade unionists by the
regime set up in Honduras after a June 28 coup makes it
impossible to hold free and fair elections, says AFL-
CIO President Richard Trumka in a Nov. 13 letter to
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Trumka points out that delegates to the AFL-CIO
Convention in September passed a resolution calling on
the U.S. government to suspend military aid to Honduras
until President Manuel Zelaya, the democratically
elected leader, is returned to office and human and
trade union rights have been restored.

Honduras and here to read Trumka's letter.
(Go to the above URL)

*With an illegitimate government in power, scheduled
elections later this month cannot be fair, free and
open, Trumka says.

The violent and coercive repression of political
opposition to the de facto coup regime, including trade
unionists, has continued. At least 12 trade unionists
have died in the violence since June 28.* National and
international human rights organizations report *ongoing
human rights violations committed by state security
forces, including killings, severe beatings, sexual
violence, the imprisonment and torture of activists, as
well as the arrest and detention of President Zelaya's
supporters.
*
*Trumka calls on Clinton and the U.S. government to
oppose national elections in Honduras unless Zelaya is
reinstated and to implement the recommendations in the
AFL-CIO resolution.

The current environment in Honduras, including an illegitimate government in power makes free, fair and open elections impossible.

Honduras: more candidates join election boycott

Submitted by WW4 Report on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 19:03. 
In a press conference in Managua, Nicaragua, on Nov. 13, the mayor of San Pedro Sula, Honduras' second largest city, confirmed that he was no longer running for another term in general elections scheduled for Nov. 29. "The people don't believe in this process, because these are elections where absolutely nothing is going to get elected," Mayor Rodolfo Padilla Sunceri said. A member of the center-right Liberal Party (PL), Padilla joined a growing number of candidates who have withdrawn from the race in order to protest the control of the process by a de facto government put in place after a military coup removed President Jos? Manuel Zelaya Rosales from office on June 28. Padilla was the frontrunner in polls taken before the coup. The Nov. 29 general elections are intended to elect the president, the 128 members of the National Congress, 20 deputies to the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN), and members of the country's municipal governments.
Independent presidential candidate Carlos H. Reyes <http://www.ww4report.com/node/7934#comment-317814>  officially withdrew from the race on Nov. 9. A former unionist with strong links to the grassroots movement against the coup, Reyes was third in a field of six candidates, according to polls. The frontrunner is Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo <http://ww4report.com/node/7735>  of the right-wing National Party (PN); Liberal candidate Elvin Santos trails him by 15-20%, according to political analyst Gustavo Ir?as. Santos is badly damaged by a split in the PL between supporters of President Zelaya and supporters of de facto president Roberto Micheletti Bain; both are members of the party.
The mayoral candidates boycotting the election include Heber Iv?n G?mez Mendoza, PL candidate in Morolica, Choluteca department; Luis Alberto Posadas Alfar, an independent candidate in Danl?, El Para?so; and Gladys Gloria Ebanks Campell, an independent candidate on Roat?n island, Islas de la Bah?a department. The small leftist Democratic Unification (UD) is badly split, with presidential candidate C?sar Ham planning to continue in the race while many other candidates want to withdraw; the party will lose its place on the ballot and government matching funds if too many candidates drop out. The Party of Innovation and Social Democratic Unity (PINU) is also split. The leadership supports the coup, but many candidates for Congress oppose it and may withdraw, so that this party too could lose its ballot position. (EFE, Nov. 13; Comun-Noticias, Nov. 13 via Honduras Laboral; La Jornada, Mexico, Nov. 14)
Who is behind explosive attacks?
During the night of Nov. 12 an explosive device was detonated <http://ww4report.com/node/7922#comment-317828>  in a Tegucigalpa residential neighborhood without causing any damage or injuries. The police and the media originally said an airplane flew over the city and dropped a bomb on a location where ballots were being stored for the Nov. 29 elections, even though no damage was reported there. The airplane turned out to be a commercial flight from Guatemala. Later an RPG-1 grenade-launching device was discovered in the area, and the military announced that unidentified persons had attempted to hit the storehouse but had overshot it. "We have preliminary information about some actions which people who are from the left are carrying out," Armed Forces head Gen. Romeo V?squez Vel?squez said at a Nov. 13 press conference. "We know where these artifacts come from," said Gen. Miguel ?ngel Garc?a Padgett, the army's commander. "[T]hey cross over the border and are artifacts of Russian or Chinese origin, and they are precisely the ones used by people of a leftist tendency."
Unionist Juan Barahona, a coordinator of the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup d'Etat, insisted that the opposition's strategy was a nonviolent boycott of the elections. "The people don't have the ability to do these things [bombings]. Here the only ones who have this ability are the police and the Armed Forces." He charged that the military had used similar tactics in its campaign against the left in the 1980s. "They are the ones responsible; they're generating an environment so that later they can generate the repression they've got planned and can consolidate the coup," he said.
The Front has been focused on printing up and distributing handbills and posters calling on people to boycott the voting. (EFE, Nov. 13; LJ, Nov. 14; Adital, Brazil, Nov. 13)

Subject: DC Action on Honduras - Mon Nov 23, 1-2.30 PM
 
Demand that U.S. recognize human rights violations NOT elections
 
WHAT: Protest the U.S. intent to recognize elections under martial law
in Honduras
 
WHEN: Monday, November 23, 1.00-2.30 PM 
 
WHERE: Side entrance of the U.S. Department of State - 23rd Street
between C and D Streets NW
 
 
Time is running out. On November 29th, the Honduran military and
business junta that illegally seized power on June 28th and that has
since violently repressed the country's people and press will hold
"elections" effectively closing all possibility for a reversal of the
coup d' etat that ousted democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya
on June 28, 2009. 

The announcement in late October of an agreement between President
Zelaya and the coup regime, although extremely flawed, gave to many the
hope that a semblance of the democratic process would be restored in
Honduras after all. However, the coup regime has reneged on its
obligations under the accord by refusing to allow President Zelaya to be
reinstated prior to the elections.  The coup regime is attempting to
launder the coup d'etat with martial law elections that the opposition
cannot meaningfully contest. 

President Zelaya, the National Front Against the Coup, and a broad-based
popular movement in Honduras have called for a boycott of the elections.
Twenty-three Latin American nations are echoing the cry of the Honduran
people and have expressed that they will refuse to recognize the
coup-regime elections.  These nations have opted to instead recognize
the widespread violations of human rights committed by the cup regime.
The U.S. State Department representatives continue to deny having heard
any reports of human rights abuses.

In a recent and shocking policy shift, the U.S. plans to almost
unilaterally recognize these elections as legitimate. While the State
Department claims the elections represent a way for Honduras to "move
forward" out of the crisis, those who know the history of Latin America
know that without justice and accountability, Honduras is in danger of
repeating the repression and suffering of dirty wars throughout Latin
America's history.
Please join Hondurans for Democracy at the State Department to
personally deliver human rights reports on Honduras and to tell
President Obaman, Secretary Clinton, and other key decision-makers that
their position, and their cowardly silence on human rights abuses in
Honduras at the hands of the coup regime, are completely unacceptable.
 
WHAT: Protest the U.S. intent to recognize elections under martial law
in Honduras
 
WHEN: Monday, November 23, 20009, 1.00-2.30 PM
 
WHERE: Side entrance of the U.S. Department of State - 23rd Street

Subject: La Farsa Contin?a : ?Congreso hondure?o no decidir? hasta el 2 de diciembre sobre posible restituci?n de Zelaya!
To: 
Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 2:34 PM





San Francisco, California, a mi?rcoles 18 de noviembre de 2009

Estimad at s compa?er at s,


Nos enteramos ayer a trav?s de art?culos publicados en la prensa que el Congreso de Honduras se reunir? y decidir? sobre la restituci?n del derrocado presidente Manuel Zelaya el 2 de diciembre --es decir, tres d?as despu?s de las elecciones presidenciales del 29 de noviembre.


Este anuncio fue hecho el 17 de noviembre por el presidente del Congreso Nacional Jos? Alfredo Saavedra, inmediatamente despu?s de la llegada a Tegucigalpa de Craig Kelly, Subsecretario de Estado de los Estados Unidos. Kelly regres? a Honduras, dijo, con el objetivo de "relanzar el Acuerdo Tegucigalpa/San Jos?."


Saavedra dijo que el Congreso decidir? sobre la restituci?n de Zelaya despu?s de conocer la opini?n de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, el Ministerio P?blico, la Procuradur?a General de la Rep?blica y el Comisionado Nacional de los Derechos Humanos -- todas ellas instituciones que apoyaron el golpe de Estado y respaldan al gobierno de facto.


Esto parecer?a ser una broma --pero no es una broma. Es una parodia de los principios m?s b?sicos de la democracia pol?tica. Y est? sucediendo SOLAMENTE por el apoyo continuo del gobierno de los EE.UU. al r?gimen de facto de Roberto Micheletti. Sin este apoyo de los Estados Unidos, la dictadura de Goriletti/Pinocheletti --que cuenta con casi zero apoyo popular en su propio pa?s-- no aguantar?a ni un s?lo d?a.


Al principio, el Presidente Barack Obama caracteriz? el secuestro del 28 de junio y la transferencia del Presidente Zelaya a Costa Rica como un "golpe de Estado" y se comprometi? a apoyar a Zelaya y exigir su restituci?n inmediata. Esta postura consecuente fue aplaudida ampliamente en todo el hemisferio.


Sin embargo, poco tiempo despu?s de que Obama hiciera esta declaraci?n, Hillary Clinton y el Departamento de Estado emitieron sus propias declaraciones rechazando la caracterizaci?n de "golpe de estado" y anunciando una serie de condiciones que Zelaya tendr?a que cumplir antes de que pudiera ser restituido en su cargo presidencial. Todas estas demandas violaban el derecho del pueblo hondure?o a su auto-determinaci?n.


Hillary Clinton coloc? a los autores del golpe de estado y al presidente leg?timo de Honduras en pie de igualdad y exigi? que se formara un gobierno de "unidad nacional". Le exigi? a Zelaya que abandonara el esfuerzo de convocar una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente (para reemplazar a la Constituci?n de 1982, la cual fue elaborada bajo la supervisi?n directa de la administraci?n Reagan con el objetivo de mantener la oligarqu?a en el poder y convertir a Honduras en una base militar para controlar a toda la regi?n centroamericana).


Zelaya acept? las condiciones inaceptables de este Acuerdo de San Jos? --un acuerdo que la prensa norteamericana revel? m?s tarde fue escrito en Washington y? luego enviado al presidente de Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, para que ?l lo hiciera p?blico.


Asi comenz? el esfuerzo emprendido conjuntamente por el r?gimen de Honduras y el gobierno EE.UU. de llegar hasta las elecciones del 29 de noviembre --sin el retorno de Zelaya, si posible, o con un Zelaya totalmente maniatado. El objetivo era usar la "legitimidad de elecciones democr?ticas" para transferir el poder a un gobierno de continuidad con el golpismo. De esta forma se cerrar?a "tranquilamente" este cap?tulo de cinco meses de "inestabilidad pol?tica".


Pero hubo un peque?o problema que vino a estorbar este plan del gobierno golpista: El pueblo hondure?o rechaz? el golpe de estado y se opuso a todos los acuerdos que minaban la democracia y soberan?a del pueblo hondure?o. Pese a toda la represi?n y la falta de recursos econ?micos para sostener la lucha, el pueblo no pudo ser sometido a los planes del imperialismo norteamericano.


El Frente Nacional de Resistencia Contra el Golpe de Estado denunci? el golpe de estado, exigi? la restituci?n inmediata e incondicional de Zelaya, y se opuso p?blicamente al Acuerdo de San Jos? desde sus inicios. Durante cinco meses, a pesar de los muertos, los heridos y el hambre, el pueblo hondure?o --con el Frente Nacional de Resistencia y los sindicatos encabezando la lucha-- tom? las calles d?a tras d?a, semana tras semana, para exigir la democracia y la defensa de sus intereses.


Sobre todo, el pueblo hondure?o y su direcci?n pol?tica --el Frente Nacional de Resistencia Contra el Golpe de Estado-- nunca abandonaron su llamado a una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente que afirmar?a la soberan?a del pueblo y de la naci?n hondure?a sobre su territorio y sobre sus recursos, y que pondr?a fin a la subordinaci?n de Honduras a los Estados Unidos a trav?s del Acuerdo de Libre Comercio de Centroam?rica (CAFTA) y del pacto militar que estableci? una base norteamericana en Soto Cano (Palmerola).


Luego vino el gobierno norteamericano a echarle m?s sal a la herida. El 30 de octubre, el representante del Departamento de Estado de EE.UU., Thomas Shannon, negoci? un acuerdo que fue aclamado en todo el mundo como un gran avance: Zelaya ser?a restituido a la presidencia antes del 5 de noviembre, Zelaya formar?a un gobierno de reconciliaci?n nacional con Micheletti, la convocatoria a una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente ser?a abandonada, y las elecciones del 29 de noviembre seguir?an adelante con el apoyo de todas las partes en disputa.


Pero incluso este acuerdo no pudo materializarse. A los pocos d?as de esta gran "victoria" diplom?tica, Shannon le dijo a CNN en Espa?ol que el gobierno de EE.UU. reconocer?a las elecciones del 29 de noviembre, incluso si Zelaya no fuera restituido antes de las elecciones. Esta declaraci?n de Shannon puso fin a la farsa y al doble lenguaje de los ?ltimos cinco meses. No pod?an haber mas dudas al respecto: El gobierno norteamericano apoya firmemente al gobierno de facto y a las elecciones fraudulentas que se preparan el 29 de noviembre.


La situaci?n, por la tanto, se ha vuelto a?n m?s peligrosa para todas aquellas personas en Honduras que resisten esta embestida. A la vez que se monta el dispositivo para realizar un segundo golpe de estado este 29 de noviembre, se incrementan las amenazas de mayor violencia contra el movimiento de resistencia y, sobre todo, contra su direcci?n.


Los trabajadores y todos los partidarios de los derechos democr?ticos tanto en los Estados Unidos como a nivel internacional deben exigir que el gobierno de Obama rechace la legitimidad del gobierno golpista y de las elecciones del 29 de noviembre. Ya los gobiernos de Brasil y Argentina han anunciado que no reconocer?n los resultados de los comicios hondure?os. Esta debe ser la postura del gobierno norteamericano.


Richard Trumka, el presidente de la federaci?n sindical norteamericana AFL-CIO envi? una carta el 13 de noviembre a Hillary Clinton, Secretaria de Estado de EE.UU. en la que escribe lo siguiente:


"Nuestra posici?n sobre la crisis ha sido elaborada en consulta con el movimiento sindical hondure?o, que se opone tajantemente al golpe de estado del 28 de junio, a la continuaci?n del r?gimen de facto, y a las elecciones pr?ximas organizadas por el r?gimen de Micheletti. ... El clima pol?tico actual en Honduras, con la presencia de un gobierno ileg?timo en el poder, hace que la realizaci?n de elecciones libres, justas y abiertas sea imposible".


Pedimos a tod at s l at s trabajadores/as y a sus organizaciones --y a todos los defensores de los derechos democr?ticos-- que exiijan que la administraci?n Obama rechace p?blicamente tanto la legitimidad de las elecciones del 29 de noviembre en Honduras como la legitimidad del gobierno que emanar? de estas elecciones fraudulentas.

joins international action at the gates of the School of the Americas
in Fort Benning, Georgia, Calls Again for End to US?Support for Illegal Military Coup Dictatorship in?Honduras?


Honduras?Solidarity?Committee?of
Phoenix will join the movement to close the infamous "School of the
Americas" that will bring together thousands of human rights activists,
torture survivors, veterans, faith-based communities, union workers,
students, musicians and others from across the Americas for a Vigil,
Rally, Funeral Procession and Nonviolent Direct Action to close the
School of the Americas at Fort Benning, GA from?November 20-22.





The action in Phoenix in front of the Honduran Consulate is a call
on the U.S. Government and the Obama administration specifically to the?Reject the Honduran Election Farce being prepared for November 29, 2009.



There
can be no legitimate, fair elections under the violence and threats of
violence of the de facto, unconstitutional government, and its
repressive police and military forces who have been brutally violating
the rights of peaceful Honduran protesters for the past four months.
Opposition candidates at national, provincial and municipal levels have
withdrawn from the electoral process.?


The action in Phoenix is part of a national and international series of?solidarity?actions across the U.S. which will continue on Friday November 27th, followed by?solidarity?protests in support of the Honduran people?s untiring, courageous resistance on November 28th?and 29th,?as they justifiably boycott the bogus and farcical elections.



The equivocating of the U.S. position as regards?Honduras?is
spinning heads around the U.S. and the world and contributes to setting
the stage for a return to failed policies of the past, legitimizing via
US power brokering an illegitimate and illegal regime of the military
coup now in power in?Honduras.??The failure
of the October 30 agreement between Micheletti and Zelaya clearly stems
from a plot to delay or impede altogether the restoration of President
Manuel Zelaya to power.?


This represents
nothing less than a capitulation, or worse the outright endorsement of
the Obama administration to the illegitimate usurper coup regime in?Honduras.


Organizers for justice in the Americas have been gathering at the
gates of Ft. Benning since 1990, and as the demonstration against the
SOA has evolved into one of the most vibrant anti-militarization
convergences in the United States, as we learn from one another's
stories, tactics, ideas, information, theater, friendships, trainings,
workshops, films, and more,?click here to see the schedule of events!





Bertha Oliva, the founder and coordinator of the Committee of Relatives of the Disappeared (COFADEH) will travel from?Honduras?to join the mobilization.?Bernardo Vivas?from

coming from Colombia to speak out at the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia
and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), a community-based worker
organization whose members are largely Latino, Haitian, and Mayan
Indian immigrants are traveling up from Florida. Celebrity entertainers
such as the Indigo Girls?and?Rebel Diaz?will attend as well.





Recalling the period in history from 1865-1867, when the US
government applied diplomatic pressure in favor of Mexico?s legitimate
president?Benito Juarez?and against the illegal right wing usurpers of power, the battle for constitutional government in?Honduras?takes place during new era of democratization across the hemisphere.???The
developments in the central part of the continent also are framed by
the constitutional recognition for the first time of Indigenous

Also calling for investigation of the role of the US based School of

Subject: [HNA] United States backs illegal elections in Honduras
Message-ID: <4B06C748.8030907@quixote.org>

*United States backs illegal elections in Honduras ? Betrays process to 
restore Constitutional order. *
 
November 20, 2009
 
After five months of political chaos in Honduras, repeated attempts to 
reach a negotiated agreement for restoration of Constitutional order 
have failed due to the defiant recalcitrance of the Micheletti coup 
regime and the complicity of the State Department.  Given this impasse 
and the deepening human rights crisis, it is widely recognized that 
conditions for holding free, fair and transparent elections on November 
29^th , just days from now, do not exist. 
 
Recognizing this dilemma, in late October the United States rushed a 
high level State Department delegation to Honduras, bringing Micheletti 
back to the table and brokering the October 30th ?National 
Reconciliation Agreement? requiring the reinstatement of President 
Zelaya by November 5^th .   However, in a move paralleling the behavior 
of the Micheletti regime, a few days later, State Department officials 
reversed their position, stating that the elections would be recognized 
by the United States with or without restitution of President Zelaya, 
effectively breaking the accord.
 
In a press release on November 5^th ,  South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint 
<http://demint.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=c6542515-c3af-d65a-085d-537015ff8a97>  
who had been using  a procedural tactic to hold up the Obama 
Administration nominations of Arturo Valenzuela and Tom Shannon, 
suddenly announced that he was withdrawing the hold  because he had 
reached an agreement with the Administration relative to the situation 
in Honduras: /?I am happy to report the Obama Administration has finally 
reversed its misguided Honduran policy and will fully recognize the 
November 29^th elections? Secretary Clinton and Assistant Secretary 
Shannon have assured me that the U.S. will recognize the outcome of the 
Honduran elections regardless of whether Manuel Zelaya is reinstated.?  /
 
A subsequent announcement by Senator Lugar 
<http://lugar.senate.gov/press/record.cfm?id=320060&&> confirms that in 
fact the United States intends to recognize elections sponsored by the 
coup regime without prior restitution of Zelaya.  Lugar also announced 
that the State Department is funding election observer missions from the 
International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute. 
 
Lugar also used his statement to encourage Brazil in particular to 
consider that ?recognition of the election will be the only way for 
Hondurans to look beyond the 5-month-old crisis?.   Just a few days ago, 
the Brazilian foreign minister warned of a ?deterioration? of U.S. 
relations with South America 
<http://en.mercopress.com/2009/11/16/brazil-warns-of-deterioration-of-us-relations-with-south-america>.  
Brazil is one of 25 countries in the Rio Group which issued a 
declaration on the same day of DeMint?s statement, declaring that this 
important group of countries will not recognize a government resulting 
from Honduran elections if Zelaya is not previously restored. 
 
Late last week, President Zelaya announced that he will not accept 
restitution at this late date in order to not be used to legitimize 
elections.   In a letter to President Obama renouncing the possibility 
of a return to office in the days prior to the election, Zelaya wrote, 
/??3500 people detained in one hundred days, over 600 people beaten and 
injured in hospitals, more than a hundred murders and countless numbers 
of people subjected to torture directed against citizens who dare to 
oppose the regime and express their ideas about freedom and justice in 
peaceful demonstrations.  All this converts the November election into 
an anti-democratic exercise under an uncertain state of lawlessness with 
military intimidation for large sections of our people??/
 
Zelaya?s assessment of the illegitimacy of elections under current 
condition is shared by large majorities in Honduras and the 
international community.  The broad based national resistance movement 
has called for a total boycott of the elections.  Participation in the 
elections has become a kind of ethical litmus test for all candidates.  
 Candidates who run are widely considered to be supporting the coup, 
placing tremendous pressure on candidates to withdrawal.
 
The first candidate to withdraw was Carlos H. Reyes, a well know 
Independent Party candidate for President and leader of the resistance 
movement against the coup.  His popularity has surged as revulsion to 
the violence perpetrated by the coup regime has impacted communities and 
homes throughout the country.  Some strategists believe that had a 
reinstated President Zelaya endorsed Reyes, he could have won the vote, 
but would have lost due to fraud.  After consulting with grassroots 
assemblies in different parts of the country, Reyes announced his 
decision to step down. 
 
Last week, the popular Liberal Party mayor of San Pedro Sula announced 
that he was stepping down as a candidate 
<http://www.elmundo.es/america/2009/11/13/noticias/1258147225.html>, in 
spite of his healthy lead in the polls.  Another 110 mayoral and 55 
candidates for Congress 
<http://bolivarenmexico.blogspot.com/2009/11/renuncian-candidatos-en-honduras.html>  
are reportedly pulling out of the election, and the number continues to 
grow.  Both the leftist UD and the PINU parties are split, with many 
Congressional candidates stepping down, but the party leadership wanting 
to stay in the race.  These small parties have the most to lose, as they 
risk losing the position of their party on the ballot.
 
The UD party has suffered severe criticism for not withdrawing.  Their 
active involvement in the resistance movement morally obligates them to 
withdraw, but some party leaders see this moment as an opportunity to 
win more contests than they normally could.  However, as the pressure 
mounts it seems that withdrawal from the elections by the party is 
imminent, although not yet certain.
 
With just days to go until the elections, tensions are mounting in 
Honduras.  Micheletti has threatened those encouraging abstension with 
lengthy prison terms.  The resistance movement has called a civic strike 
for the entire week prior to elections, widespread protests beginning on 
Friday and a full boycott on Election Day.  This comes in a context of 
heighten levels of state terrorism. 
 
Recently, the military issued a letter to every mayor in the country 
instructing mayor?s offices to compile lists of inhabitants of the 
municipality who have been working against the coup.  The letter asked 
for the list to be compiled immediately and stated that each mayor would 
receive a follow up visit.  Mayors who do not comply with this order 
also risk consequences.  This systematic profiling of the population is 
a blatant violation of human rights and dangerous signal of the levels 
of repression to come.
 
In declaring that it will recognize the coup regime sponsored elections 
on November 29th without prior restitution of Constitutional order, the 
United States has embolden the coup regime, betrayed a lengthy 
negotiation process and endangered the lives of millions of Honduran 
citizens who are committed to democracy, human rights and the rule of 
law who will boycott elections they consider to be illegal.

Patricia Rodas: "Volver? para seguir luchando y adonde sea que mi pueblo me quiera" 
?
Entrevista con Patricia Rodas canciller leg?tima de Honduras 

Faltan dos semanas para las elecciones y siguen las t?cticas dilatorias del gobierno de facto y las dem?s instituciones del Estado para no restituir al presidente Manuel Zelaya. ?Por qu? ese miedo a la restituci?n del Presidente? 

El miedo por parte de las fuerzas de la oligarqu?a, de los sectores m?s duros de la derecha pol?tica del pa?s, de los militares y de sectores internacionales que defienden intereses comunes de car?cter econ?mico, es al liderazgo popular que tiene el presidente Zelaya. Es el miedo al mismo pueblo hondure?o, a su conciencia despierta, a su capacidad de resistir y a la desconfianza que les tiene a estos viejos sectores, que son los mismos que a lo largo de los ?ltimos 30 a?os han sometido el pa?s a la pobreza y a la desigualdad, y que han infiltrado a partidos pol?ticos y al mismo Estado.

Message-ID: <231861.86842.qm@web38904.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

GOBIERNO DE FACTO PREPARA REPRESION EN EL PREAMBULO DE ILEGITIMAS ELECCIONES 


El Comit? de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras (COFADEH), a la comunidad nacional e internacional expresa su? preocupaci?n por el deterioro de la situaci?n de los derechos humanos en Honduras que d?a a d?a se profundiza y adquiere nuevos visos.

La nueva oleada de amenazas a muerte, persecuci?n pol?tica, detenciones ilegales, torturas, militarizaci?n de algunos sectores de las principales ciudades y la incursi?n de carros sin placas con vidrios polarizados conducidos por sujetos fuertemente armados, cubiertos sus rostro con pasamonta?as en los barrios y colonias identificados con la Resistencia Contra el Golpe declarados libres de propaganda pol?tica, aunado al levantamiento de informaci?n de los l?deres de la resistencia ordenada por militares y pol?ticos.

Ambiente represivo y de incertidumbre, que se refuerza con el oficio emitido el d?a 16 de noviembre de 2009, por la Subsecretar?a de Redes de Servicios del Ministerio de Salud? P?blica que ordena preparar un PLAN DE CONTINGENCIAS de cobertura de los servicios de Salud, las veinticuatro horas del d?a, aplicable desde el d?a 19 de noviembre al 04 de diciembre de 2009. De acuerdo con el oficio No. 1055-09-SSRDS, el Plan debe de incluir, Altas Anticipadas sin poner en riesgo la salud de los pacientes, Reprogramaci?n de Cirug?as selectivas que comprenden estas? fechas? y solicitar la dotaci?n de? medicamentos? e insumos m?dicos para dicho plan.?

Medidas que parecen estar relacionadas con la realizaci?n del ilegitimo proceso electoral del pr?ximo 29 de noviembre, estructurado de una forma inusual que refleja la? militarizaci?n y paramilitarizaci?n expresada en la incorporaci?n de la reserva militar para auxiliar a las fuerzas Armadas en la custodia de las mesas electorales que ya contaba con 16,000 efectivos militares y 14,000 agentes policiales.

En los departamentos occidentales del pa?s los reservistas del Ej?rcito distribuyen hojas volantes para intimidar a la poblaci?n en resistencia, en las que califican de delincuentes irracionales a los miembros de la resistencia, y descalifican las marchas y plantones defini?ndolas como formas inhumanas y no aptas de personas civilizadas, como lo hicieron los comunistas en los a?os ochenta.?

El control? militar? progresa y? se ratifica, en tanto y en cuanto el rostro buf?n de los poderes Golpistas anuncia un descanso estrat?gico del 25 de noviembre al 02 de diciembre. Las fuerzas de seguridad se equipan con nuevas herramientas de represi?n, un veh?culo totalmente blindado ha sido incorporado a la Secretar?a de Seguridad para disolver manifestaciones, la unidad antimotines est? equipada de c?maras filmadoras, y un ca??n de agua con gran capacidad en su fuerza de presi?n, adem?s de un mecanismo para marcar por 48 horas al que reciba una descarga de agua. Mientras las Fuerzas Armadas han iniciado selectivos registros en las carreteras del pa?s, al mismo tiempo la incursi?n de aeronaves en los departamentos de la zona Atl?ntica de Honduras.

El Cofadeh manifiesta a las estructuras de Protecci?n de los Derechos Humanos y a la comunidad internacional su preocupaci?n por la seguridad de los activistas sociales? que luchan por el restablecimiento del orden democr?tico.

El Cofadeh solicita a la Comunidad Internacional mantenerse alerta sobre la situaci?n de derechos humanos y exigir al Estado de Honduras garantizar la vida e integridad de la poblaci?n hondure?a y extranjeros residentes del pa?s.

I am pretty sure he is not on the golpista side, but he has before pronouced
himself in favor of elections and that is the problem at this stage of the
game. On the other hand, he is adamantly anti Ortega (who is giving refuge to
our people) and anti Chavez, and he is in charge of painting "the regional
panorama". As far as I am concerned the most important thing  is that you have
representatives there, who can ask questions to give us a chance to react at
the end, because otherwise they (on the other side) Davidow etc will "have the
last word"

#35 of National Front Against the Coup
d'Etat<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/>

The National Front of Resistance Against the Coup d'Etat communicates:

1. We alert the international community and human rights defense
organizations about the growing repression and persecution of organized
people. In this sense the Comittee for the Defense of Human Rights in
Honduras <http://www.codeh.hn/> released a report that warns about
preparations by the armed forces of the State to execute actions of terror,
making them seem as if they were done by the Resistance, and in that way
justifying the massive killing of people linked to the National Front of
Resistance Against the Coup
d'Etat.<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/>

2. We denounce the mobilization of military forces in the entire national
territory, with arms and campaign equipment, which goes beyond any previous
preparation that has been done for an electoral process. The preparations of
the Armed Forces include the contracting of mercenaries, amongst whom is a
strong contingent of reservists and provision of hospitals and clinics for
medical attention to military and police involved in the acts of violence
against the population.

3. We want to make clear that the announced "absence" of the dictator
Micheletti from power that is supposed to happen from the 25th of November
to the 2nd of December, is just a maneuver to hide the totalitarian role of
the de facto regime and the Armed Forces who have set up an illegitimate,
illegal and fraudulent electoral process.

4. We condemn the threats and intimidation against different media who tell
the truth about the situation out country is living through, and which today
lived through a new episode with the interruption of the
signal<http://www.reuters.com/article/mediaNews/idUSN2022560220091120>of
channel
36 <http://www.cholusatsur.com/>.

5. We reiterate that under this anti-democratic and repressive coup regime
it is impossible to carry out free
elections.<http://www.mediosindependientes.info/mi/_jpg_/p/p1130262.jpg>

6. We call all the Resistance Fronts nationally and all the committed
organizations and solidarity organizations outside the country to increase
their secuirty measures and prepare to denounce any violation of human
rights <http://www.cofadeh.org/> by the Dictatorship.

Frente Nacional Contra el Golpe de Estado: Las fuerzas armadas est?n

Comunicado 35 del Frente Nacional Contra el Golpe de
Estado<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/>
 <http://www.mediosindependientes.info/mi/_jpg_/p/p1130213.jpg>
El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado comunica:

1. Alertamos a la comunidad internacional y a las organizaciones defensoras
de los derechos humanos sobre la creciente represi?n y persecuci?n del
pueblo organizado. En ese sentido el Comit? para la Defensa de los Derechos
Humanos de Honduras (CODEH) <http://www.codeh.hn/> emiti? un informe en el
que advierte de los preparativos por parte de las fuerzas represivas del
Estado para ejecutar acciones de terror, haci?ndose pasar por militantes de
la Resistencia, y justificar de esta manera el asesinato masivo de personas
vinculadas al Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de
Estado.<http://contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com/>

2. Denunciamos la movilizaci?n de fuerzas militares en todo el territorio
nacional, con armamento y equipo de campa?a, que sobrepasa cualquier
preparativo anterior que se haya hecho para un proceso electoral. Los
preparativos de las Fuerzas Armadas incluyen la contrataci?n de mercenarios,
dentro de los que se encuentra un fuerte contingente de reservistas y la
adecuaci?n de hospitales y cl?nicas para la atenci?n m?dica de los militares
y polic?as involucrados en los actos de violencia contra la poblaci?n.

3. Hacemos ver que la anunciada ?ausencia? del dictador Micheletti del poder
que se dar?a entre los d?as 25 de noviembre y 2 de diciembre, es solamente
una maniobra para ocultar el papel totalitario del r?gimen de facto y las
Fuerzas Armadas que han montado un proceso electoral ileg?timo, ilegal y
fraudulento.

4. Condenamos las amenazas y hostigamientos contra diferentes medios de
comunicaci?n que informan la verdad sobre la situaci?n que vive nuestro
pa?s, y que hoy vivi? un nuevo episodio con la interrupci?n de la se?al de
canal 36.

5. Reiteramos que bajo este r?gimen golpista de represi?n y antidemocracia
es imposible realizar elecciones libres.

6. Llamamos a todos los Frentes de Resistencia a nivel nacional y a las
organizaciones comprometidas y solidarias en el exterior a que incrementen
las medidas de seguridad y se preparen para realizar las denuncias ante
cualquier tipo de violaci?n de los derechos
humanos<http://www.cofadeh.org/>por parte de la Dictadura.

Subject: [HNA] same time & place as Honduras conference Fwd: Nov 23: H.E.
	Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.
References: <LYRIS-66150-39011-2009.11.19-14.43.13--davidrolde#comcast.net@lists.ksg.harvard.edu>
Message-ID: <6A49D807-FE3A-44B4-84E0-7F8F73E073F6@comcast.net>

Michael Oren, the "Israeli" Zionist regime's ambassador to the "US",  
is going to be speaking at 4:30PM today Monday, during the Honduras  
conference in a different room at Harvard KSG . (See attachment  
below).  I am going to be outside with some people protesting against  
the "Israeli" ambassador.  We will include at least a sign calling to  
restore Zelaya and oppose the coup and phony election in Honduras.   
We will be in complete solidarity with anyone going in to the  
Honduras conference to speak truth there in support of the Honduran  
resistance to the golpistas.

I am wondering if the KSG Honduras Conference and the appearance by  
Ambassador Oren are connected. Dr. Pastor, do you know if any of the  
conference panelists are meeting with Ambassador Oren?

There is clearly an Israeli connection to the coup in Honduras.  The  
"Israeli" government, as well as their partner the "US" government,  
are clearly attempting to influence and interfere with politics in  
Latin America.

After the governments of Venezuela and Bolivia expelled the Israeli  
ambassadors (in reaction to the Israeli genocidal military attack  
against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip) last winter, here in Boston  
the Israeli Consulate and pro-Israel Jewish groups held several large  
events against Venezuela, Bolivia and Argentina at which the Jewish  
groups alleged "anti-semitism" in South America.

In the first three days of June of this year, Israeli Deputy Foreign  
Minister Danny Ayalon attended the Organization of American States  
(OAS) meeting in Honduras.  Ayalon's stated aim was to counter  
Iranian & Hizballah influence in Latin America.
See http://www.bi-me.com/main.php?c=3&cg=2&id=37205&t=1   and  http:// 
www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/About+the+Ministry/MFA+Spokesman/2009/Press 
+releases/Deputy-FM-+to-participate-in-Genera-Assembly-of-the-OAS-25- 
May-2009.htm    (I should mention that at this OAS meeting the US  
government was apparently unable to impose conditions to block the  
invitation to Cuba to rejoin the OAS.  The Cuban government welcomed  
the decision but refused to rejoin.)

Ten days after the OAS meeting, on June 12th, the Iranian  
presidential election was held. President Ahmadinejad was re- 
elected.  The Western imperialist media went into a propaganda frenzy  
against Iran, falsely accusing the Iranian government of falsifying  
the election results.  US/UK/Israeli agents staged riots and shot  
people at peaceful gatherings in Iran to try to instigate a "color  
revolution" to overthrow the independent anti-imperialist   
progressive Iranian government.

On June  24, ALBA (the Bolivarian Alliance fair trade block that  
consisted of Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Honduras, and  
Dominica) held a meeting at which three new countries (Ecuador,  
Antigua & Barbuda, and St Vincent & the Grenadines) became ALBA  
members. Iran has been an official observer at ALBA since 2007.   At  
the June 24, 2009, meeting ALBA adopted a resolution pledging support  
for "the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the institutions of the Islamic  
Republic of Iran, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" and rejecting  
"foreign interference and the campaign to discredit Iran's June 12th  
elections".    http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/4547

The coup in Honduras deposing President Zelaya occurred on June 24  
four days after the ALBA meeting.

The coup and post-coup repression in Honduras is clearly against the  
poor people of Honduras and is an attempt by the wealthy elite of  
Honduras and foreign imperialists to keep stealing from Honduras and  
from the people of Honduras.

  But the events in Honduras are also occurring within a Latin  
American international context and within a worldwide international  
context.   The coup in Honduras is an attack against ALBA, an attack  
against Venezuela and Cuba and Bolivia and all the ALBA countries.   
The coup in Honduras is part of the imperialist attempt to stop an  
alternative vision and alternative economic system of fair trade that  
ALBA is developing.  This alternative economic system, that would  
bypass the IMF and World Bank, is a threat to the worldwide hegemony  
of US/UK/European/Israeli-based monopolistic corporations.  ALBA is  
engaging in more and more mutually beneficial economic cooperation  
with other progressive countries around the world such as Iran and  
China.  The report from the recent ALBA meeting mentioned that the  
Venezuelan government is planning to share access to its new Chinese- 
made communications satellite with the other ALBA countries.  Hugo  
Chavez has said that the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the  
Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela are playing key roles in a process  
of shaping a new international order, a revolutionary economy at the  
service of human beings rather than capital.   http:// 
www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/2492.

Imperialists are using the coup in Honduras to try to break the ties  
of economic cooperation between ALBA and Iran and China and other  
countries.  Imperialists tried to stage a counter-revolutionary coup  
in Iran at the same time as the (so-far) successful coup in  
Honduras.  Zionist imperialists are threatening war against Iran and  
Venezuela and are pressuring ALBA to drop their solidarity with  
Iran.  Imperialists are using disingenuous "ultra-leftist" anti- 
Muslim propaganda to try to turn socialist activists, who support  
ALBA, against Iran.  Imperialist agents also instigated riots in  
Urumqi in western China in July. Western media anti-China propaganda  
used the Urumqi riots to accuse China of oppressing Muslims. This is  
an imperialist attempt to turn Iranians and other Muslims against China.

Imperialists are also trying to pressure Latin American countries to  
support continued Jewish-supremacist colonial occupation of Palestine  
and to continue to support the UN occupation of Haiti and imperialist  
refusal to allow the restoration of President Aristide to Haiti.

I'm not saying that one factor is more important than another, just  
trying to point out some of the things going on and their relation to  
what is happening in Honduras.  It is curious that the Israeli  
ambassador will be in the building this afternoon.  The Carr Center  
has ties with the US State Department and the Council on Foreign  
Relations. It is one of Harvard's elite imperialist thinktanks.

What can we do in Boston?



The most closes places for us it is New York. There is a plan to have a

President Zelaya and the Resistance Movement have asked our simpathizers not to
collaborate in fruadulent elections. No consular officers will be supervising
elections in the USA, so elections here are an almost private operations.
Furthermore the legitimate Honduras Embassy was broken into last night and the
machine used to produce passports stolen when Coup authorities have said that
is what they will require, a passport. Let me only suggest that your proer role
is to supervise and fisclize the operation, rather than collaborate in voting

22 de Noviembre 2009
Se?ores(as)
Presidentes(as)
Naciones de Am?rica
Su Despacho




Estimados Presidente(a)s,


Me dirijo a Ustedes en mi condici?n de Presidente de Honduras, haciendo valer las excelentes relaciones entre nuestros Estados, y en defensa de la democracia violentada en Honduras a consecuencia del golpe de Estado Militar, perpetrado el 28 de junio del presente a?o, cuando los militares asaltaron mi casa, a balazos me secuestraron y me desterraron hacia Costa Rica.


El Congreso Nacional falsifico mi renuncia y en un abuso de poder emiti? un decreto ilegal donde ?Me separa del cargo de Presidente Constitucional? sin facultades constitucionales para hacerlo, lo anterior igual que la orden de captura que emiti? posteriormente la corte de justicia sin tener ninguna demanda y sin ser citado a ning?n tribunal ni a juicio, ha sido condenado y tipificado por todo los pa?ses del mundo como ruptura violenta y sorpresiva del orden democr?tico, "Golpe de Estado Militar".
?
En este momento, en Honduras estamos en un Estado de facto, no hay Constituci?n ni poderes constituidos por haber sido destruidos por la fuerza, por el Golpe de Estado militar ese fat?dico 28 de junio de 2009.


La Constituci?n de la Rep?blica de Honduras establece en el art?culo 3: "Nadie debe obediencia a un gobierno usurpador, ni a quienes asuman funciones o empleos p?blicos por la fuerza de las armas o usando medios o procedimientos que quebranten o desconozcan lo que esta Constituci?n y las leyes establecen. Los actos verificados por tales autoridades son nulos. El pueblo tiene derecho a la insurrecci?n en defensa del orden constitucional"


De la simple lectura de este art?culo, Ustedes pondr?n comprender que el pueblo hondure?o esta facultado legalmente para actuar con los medios, modos y formas que estime convenientes para restaurar la democracia; nosotros concientemente, hemos tomado la v?a de la resistencia pacifica, con el fin de establecer la no cooperaci?n y la no violencia como m?todos de desobediencia civil y de lucha de los pueblos para el siglo XXI, ante el surgimiento de la fuerza militar.
?
Agradecemos a toda la comunidad internacional su apoyo en nuestra labor por reconstruir el Estado de Derecho, siendo el ultimo esfuerzo el malogrado Acuerdo Tegucigalpa ? San Jos?, que cont? con el auspicio de la OEA y el Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos de Am?rica, en cuya letra y esp?ritu se ten?a como prop?sito: ?retrotraer la titularidad del poder ejecutivo previo al 28 de junio? y que fue violentado abiertamente por el r?gimen de facto al pretender el se?or Michelleti encabezar el gobierno de reconciliaci?n, neg?ndose a convocar al Congreso Nacional, incumpli?ndolo definitivamente en tiempo y en forma. 


Ahora, se pretende en forma unilateral utilizar el acuerdo abortado, convocando de forma extempor?nea al Congreso Nacional, (2 de diciembre) fecha para la cual se habr?n modificado sustancialmente los actores pol?ticos del acuerdo, en vista que los diputados para ese momento, ya se habr?n sometido a la opini?n del elector sin restaurar el orden Constitucional. 


Las elecciones del pr?ximo 29 de noviembre, su convocatoria y el uso presupuestario en un r?gimen de facto, sin que previamente se haya restaurado la democracia y el Estado de derecho, como lo mandan las resoluciones de OEA y la ONU, sin que tampoco se haya instalado el gobierno de unidad y reconciliaci?n, son ilegales e ilegitimas y constituyen un delito.


En el momento que el r?gimen de facto con los militares, convoca y tutela un espurio proceso electoral bajo represi?n, sin condiciones legales y sin un acuerdo pol?tico; en que la dictadura militar es garante de la ley, solo se fortalecen sus actos de fuerza e impunidad. 


Hoy precisamente, canal 36 la ?nica cadena de televisi?n que le hace oposici?n al r?gimen, ha sido bloqueada su se?al y sacada del aire por la dictadura, propietario ?Periodista Esdras Amado L?pez?.


Han sido desacatadas frontalmente por el r?gimen de facto las Resoluciones emitidas por la OEA, la ONU y la UE. Tambi?n constituye una violaci?n a la Carta Democr?tica de la OEA y sus Resoluciones, que algunos pa?ses amigos de Honduras, que condenan el golpe de estado militar, manifiesten ambig?edad y su apoyo al proceso electoral sin restaurar el orden democr?tico y sin dialog? pol?tico, ?sto permite que el r?gimen de facto imponga su voluntad, por la fuerza. 


Como Presidente de Honduras, les comunico que, bajo estas condiciones, no respaldar? el proceso electoral y proceder? a impugnarlo legalmente, en nombre de los hombres y mujeres de mi pa?s y de cientos de dirigentes y l?deres que sufren la p?rdida de la democracia, represi?n, competencia desleal y supresi?n de la libertad.


Estas elecciones tendr?n que ser anuladas y reprogramadas donde se respete la voluntad del soberano. 


En estos momentos tan dif?ciles a los hermanos pa?ses de Am?rica, solicitamos su solidaridad con Honduras:




Que nos acompa?en en base a los hechos por ustedes conocidos, revalidando la posici?n de no apoyar el intento unilateral de dar validez a un acuerdo rescindido en tiempo y forma por las violaciones consumadas por la dictadura.




Reafirmando la condena al golpe de Estado militar y no apoyar un r?gimen de facto que su existencia hoy es una verg?enza para los pueblos de Am?rica Latina, despu?s que los grandes esfuerzos e intentos de la comunidad internacional para revertir el golpe de estado, han concluido en un total fracaso para todos.




Apelando a mantener su firmeza en la ejecuci?n de las resoluciones aprobadas por la OEA y la ONU y no adoptar posiciones ambiguas o imprecisas como las que despliega hoy el gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Am?rica, que con su postura final, ha debilitado el proceso de revertir el golpe de estado, mostrando la divisi?n en la comunidad internacional. Al alimentar este golpe de estado se pone en riesgo la seguridad democr?tica del hemisferio y la estabilidad de los Presidentes de Am?rica, con el surgimiento de las castas militares sobre la autoridad civil. Legitimar los golpes de estado por medio de procesos electorales espurios divide y no contribuye a la unidad de las naciones de Am?rica.




Invoco a su cooperaci?n para que no quede impune este Golpe de Estado Militar y sus sangrientas violaciones a los derechos humanos. Ya Se han interpuesto las demandas criminales y aceptado los juicios en la Corte Penal Internacional, para obtener justicia para nuestro pueblo y aplicar las sanciones correspondientes a los que cometieron traici?n a la Patria y delitos de lesa Humanidad en Honduras 




Manifestamos nuestro en?rgico reclamo a quienes apoyan las maniobras para blanquear el golpe de estado encubriendo a los golpistas para dejar impune sus cr?menes. 




De la manera m?s atenta, invitamos a todas las naciones que reconocen nuestro gobierno, que se abstenga de apoyar las acciones del r?gimen ilegal que usurp? el poder por la fuerza de las armas. 




Requerimos cordialmente, se exhorte a sus Representantes ante la OEA y la ONU para que contin?en defendiendo y sosteniendo los derechos del pueblo y de los gobiernos leg?timamente electos, ya que cuando uno de nuestros estados sufre un agravio es una afrenta para Am?rica; y, cada vez que se derroca un gobierno electo por los pueblos de Am?rica, la violencia y el terrorismos nos gana una batalla y la Democracia sufre una derrota.


En espera de sus noticias, agradezco el invalorable apoyo y respaldo manifestado hasta ahora a estos principios, y les env?o un saludo, no sin antes reiterarles mi estima y mi m?s alta consideraci?n.






?
JOSE MANUEL ZELAYA ROSALES
Presidente de la Rep?blica de Honduras

3:33 PM

 US Group That Supported Overthrows of Democratically Elected Governments in
Haiti and Venezuela Will Observe Elections in Honduras International
Republican Institute and National Democratic Institute Plan to Observe
Elections Controlled by Honduran Military and Police

WASHINGTON - November 23 - The National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the
International Republican Institute (IRI), organizations that receive funding
from the U.S. State Department, are planning on sending delegations to
observe the November 29 elections in Honduras, according to a statement
issued by Republican Senator Richard Lugar. The IRI is a group that has
supported the ouster of democratically elected presidents in Haiti and
Venezuela in recent years. Both groups are apparently planning to *assist
with observation of the
elections*<http://ndi.org/honduras#NonpartisanElectionMonitoring>
[2], despite the fact that the electoral process will be effectively
controlled by thousands of military troops and police officers - the same
forces who have committed innumerable human rights violations, including
killings, rapes, beatings and thousands of detentions, since the June 28
coup d'etat.

"I am surprised to see NDI joining the International Republican Institute in
its efforts to legitimize another coup," Center for Economic and Policy
Research Co-Director *Mark
Weisbrot*<http://www.cepr.net/index.php/mark-weisbrot/>
[3] said. "NDI has generally been less willing to support coups and
anti-democratic regimes than has its Republican counterpart."

Weisbrot noted that NDI steered clear of IRI's involvement in the ouster of
democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004, which
became the subject of controversy following a *major 2006 investigative
report*<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/29/international/americas/29haiti.htm?_r=1>
[4] in the *New York Times*. When IRI publicly applauded the 2002 coup
d'etat against Venezuelan President Hugo Ch?vez in a *press
release*<http://www2.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=PRNI2&STORY=/www/story/04-12-2002/0001705053&EDATE>
[5], the NDI remained silent. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) -
the primary funder of both IRI and NDI - expressed its
*disagreement*<http://www.oig.state.gov/documents/organization/13682.pdf>
[6] with IRI for voicing its support for an "unconstitutional" action.

NDI's plans to observe the elections have been surprising because Democratic
leaders in Congress, including Senator John Kerry and Representative Howard
Berman, have *repeatedly expressed their
opposition*<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/world/americas/11honduras.html>
[7] to the coup, and other congressional Democrats have urged President
Obama *not to recognize elections*<http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/node/384>
[8] held under the coup regime.

Richard Trumka, President of the AFL-CIO, *has
written*<http://blog.aflcio.org/2009/11/16/trumka-free-elections-not-possible-now-in-honduras/>
[9] that ongoing human rights abuses under the coup regime, including
continued repression of trade unionists, makes it impossible to hold free
and fair elections. Trumka called on the U.S. government to oppose national
elections in Honduras unless President Zelaya is reinstated, in a letter to
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this month.

*An editorial*<http://www.tiempo.hn/editoriales/5898-el-signo-de-la-represion>
[10] in a leading Honduran newspaper, *El Tiempo*, on Friday noted the
electoral process will be controlled by the coup regime: "12,000 troops,
14,000 police and 5,000 reservists are fully in direct control of the
polling," it notes, opining that free and fair elections are impossible due
to the current, ongoing human rights abuses. "Until now, the atmosphere is
totally contrary to a democratic electoral process, and what prevails is a
climate of political oppression," the editorial states.

"The IRI has become notorious throughout Latin America for its sometimes
rogue actions that have threatened to seriously damage U.S.-Latin American
relations," Weisbrot said. "NDI would do well to exercise caution in
following IRI's lead on Honduras."

Weisbrot noted that in addition to its support for the coups in Haiti and
Venezuela, IRI organized a
*conference*<https://acesso.uol.com.br/login.html?dest=CONTENT&url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/brasil/fc2207200820.htm&COD_PRODUTO=7>
[11] in Brazil in 2005 to promote political reforms that would undermine the
Workers' Party - the political party of President Lula da Silva.

When the creation of the NED, IRI, and NDI was first being publicly
discussed, in 1983, the Washington Post reported: "The CIA used to fund
covertly much of what the endowment plan envisions, such as the publication
of books and articles 'consistent' with democratic ideals. But many of these
were halted in 1967 following public disclosure of the CIA's activities."

###

The *Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)* <http://www.cepr.net/>
[1] was established in 1999 to promote democratic debate on the most
important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. In order
for citizens to effectively exercise their voices in a democracy, they
should be informed about the problems and choices that they face. CEPR is
committed to presenting issues in an accurate and understandable manner, so
that the public is better prepared to choose among the various policy
options.

*DE FACTO REGIME PREPARES REPRESSION LEADING UP TO ILLEGITIMATE ELECTIONS*

The Committee of Detained and Disappeared of Honduras (COFADEH) 
expresses its concern to the national and international community 
regarding the deterioration of the human rights situation in Honduras 
which is deepening each day.

A new wave of violence includes death threats, political persecution, 
illegal detentions, tortures and the militarization of sectors of 
principal cities.  Of particular concern is the incursion of vehicles 
without license plates, darkened windows, driven by heavily armed agents 
with hooded faces into neighborhoods identified as allied with the 
Resistance against the coup and self declared as "free of political 
propaganda."  These actions follow the creation of lists profiling 
leaders of the resistance movement by order of the military and police.

The overall environment that has been created is one of repression and 
uncertainty.   This was reinforced by a statement issued on November 16, 
2009 by the Sub-Secretary of the Service Networks of the Ministry of 
Public Health that orders the preparation of a CONTINGENCY PLAN for 
provision of health services for 24 hours per day from November 19^th 
thru December 4^th , 2009.  According to statement No. 1055-09-SSRDS, 
the plan must include: Anticipated Suspension of Activity without 
putting the health of patients at risk, Re-scheduling of Surgeries 
during these dates and supply of medicine and equipment necessary for 
the plan.

These measures appear to be related to the conduction of the illegal 
electoral process on November 29, which is proceeding in an irregular 
manner and reflects the militarization and para-militarization of the 
country.  The military reserves have been mobilized to support the 
16,000 members of the armed forces and 14,000 police already mobilized 
in the distribution of ballot boxes.

In departments in the western part of the country, army reserves 
distributed fliers to intimidate the population in resistance, 
characterizing members of the resistance as irrational delinquents and 
discrediting marches and protests as inhumane and uncivilized behavior.  
This activity parallels the "anti-communist" campaigns of the 1980's.

The military control advances and consolidates as Michelleti announces a 
"strategic departure" from the country between November 25^th and 
December 2, 2009. The security forces equip themselves with new 
repressive tools.  An armored vehicle has been added to the Secretary of 
Security for dispersing protests. The anti-riot units are equipped with 
video cameras and high pressure water cannon and a mechanism that marks 
anyone who comes in contact with the water for 48 hours.   The armed 
forces have begun conducting selective checks along major roads in the 
country and departments in the Atlantic zone of the country have 
experienced military over flights.

COFADEH communicates its concern to all Human Rights institutions and 
the international community regarding the safety of social activists who 
struggle for the reestablishment of democratic order.

COFADEH asks the international community to be on alert regarding the 
human rights situation in Honduras and to demand that the Honduran state 
guarantee the right to life and integrity of the Honduran population and 
foreigners living in the country.

*COFADEH, Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  November 21, 2009*

*DE FACTO GOVERNMENT PREPARES REPRESSION IN ELECTION BUILD UP*

The Committee of Family Members of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras
(COFADEH), to the national and international community expresses its worry
about the deterioration of the human rights situation in Honduras that
deepens day by day and takes on new forms.

The new wave of death threats, political persecution, illegal detention,
torture, militarization of some areas of the main cities and incursion of
cars without license plates with tinted windows driven by heavily armed
people with their faces covered by masks into neighborhoods identified with
the Resistance Against the Coup that have been declared free of political
propaganda, adds to it the obtaining of information about leaders of the
resistance ordered by the military and politicians.

The environment of repression and uncertainty, which is re-enforced with the
order given the 16th of November, 2009 by the Sub-secretary of Service
Networks of the Ministry of Public Health which orders the preparation of a
CONTINGENCY PLAN to cover health services 24 hours a day from the 19th of
November to the 4th of December, 2009. Along with order No. 1055-09-SSRDS,
the Plan should include a halt on anticipated appointments without putting
the health of patients at risk, reprogramming of selective surgeries
scheduled for those dates and dealing with the shortage of medicines and
medical supplies for the plan.

These measures appear to be related to the carrying out of the illegitimate
electoral process on November 29th, structured abnormally reflected in the
militarization and para-militarization expressed in the incorporation of the
military reserves to support the Armed Forces in watching over the electoral
sites which already included 16,000 military troops and 14,000 police
agents.

In the western departments of the country the army reservists are
distributing fliers to intimidate the population in resistance, in which
they call members of the resistance irrational criminals and calling marches
and sit-ins inhuman and not appropriate for civilized people, like what the
communists did in the eighties.
<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1FV2f88KeOE/SwqVAPV90KI/AAAAAAAAATs/8YDa2tRVVrI/s1600/armya.AVI>
Military control progresses and consolidates, despite and while the jester
face of the coup powers announces a strategic break from the 25th of
November to the 2nd of December. The security forces are equipping
themselves with new repressive tools, a completely armored vehicle has been
incorporated into the Secretary of Security to disperse protests, the riot
police unit is equipped with video cameras and a high capacity water cannon,
in addition to a mechanism to leave whoever gets hit by the water marked for
48 hours. While the Armed Forces have initiated selective registration of
people in highways around the country, at the same time we are seeing the
incursion of airships in the departments of the Atlantic zone of Honduras.

COFADEH expresses to the structures of Protection of Human Rights and to the
international community its worry for the security of the social activists
who struggle for the re-establishment of the democratic order.

COFADEH asks the International Community to stay alert about the human
rights and demand that the Honduran State guarantee the life and integrity
of the Honduran population and foreign residents of the country.

We don't forget the Acts or the Actors. Neither Forget nor Forgive. *

*GOBIERNO DE FACTO PREPARA REPRESI?N EN EL PREAMBULO DE ILEGITIMAS
ELECCIONES*

El Comit? de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras (COFADEH), a
la comunidad nacional e internacional expresa su preocupaci?n por el
deterioro de la situaci?n de los derechos humanos en Honduras que d?a a d?a
se profundiza y adquiere nuevos visos.

La nueva oleada de amenazas a muerte, persecuci?n pol?tica, detenciones
ilegales, torturas, militarizaci?n de algunos sectores de las principales
ciudades y la incursi?n de carros sin placas con vidrios polarizados
conducidos por sujetos fuertemente armados, cubiertos sus rostro con
pasamonta?as en los barrios y colonias identificados con la Resistencia
Contra el Golpe declarados libres de propaganda pol?tica, aunado al
levantamiento de informaci?n de los l?deres de la resistencia ordenada por
militares y pol?ticos.

Ambiente represivo y de incertidumbre, que se refuerza con el oficio emitido
el d?a 16 de noviembre de 2009, por la Subsecretar?a de Redes de Servicios
del Ministerio de Salud P?blica que ordena preparar un PLAN DE CONTINGENCIAS
de cobertura de los servicios de Salud, las veinticuatro horas del d?a,
aplicable desde el d?a 19 de noviembre al 04 de diciembre de 2009. De
acuerdo con el oficio No. 1055-09-SSRDS, el Plan debe de incluir, Altas
Anticipadas sin poner en riesgo la salud de los pacientes, Reprogramaci?n de
Cirug?as selectivas que comprenden estas fechas y solicitar la dotaci?n de
medicamentos e insumos m?dicos para dicho plan.

Medidas que parecen estar relacionadas con la realizaci?n del ilegitimo
proceso electoral del pr?ximo 29 de noviembre, estructurado de una forma
inusual que refleja la militarizaci?n y paramilitarizaci?n expresada en la
incorporaci?n de la reserva militar para auxiliar a las fuerzas Armadas en
la custodia de las mesas electorales que ya contaba con 16,000 efectivos
militares y 14,000 agentes policiales.

En los departamentos occidentales del pa?s los reservistas del Ej?rcito
distribuyen hojas volantes para intimidar a la poblaci?n en resistencia, en
las que califican de delincuentes irracionales a los miembros de la
resistencia, y descalifican las marchas y plantones defini?ndolas como
formas inhumanas y no aptas de personas civilizadas, como lo hicieron los
comunistas en los a?os ochenta.
<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1FV2f88KeOE/SwoMnOrE08I/AAAAAAAAATc/7BXIkQBClkE/s1600/army2.jpg>

El control militar progresa y se ratifica, en tanto y en cuanto el rostro
buf?n de los poderes Golpistas anuncia un descanso estrat?gico del 25 de
noviembre al 02 de diciembre. Las fuerzas de seguridad se equipan con nuevas
herramientas de represi?n, un veh?culo totalmente blindado ha sido
incorporado a la Secretar?a de Seguridad para disolver manifestaciones, la
unidad antimotines est? equipada de c?maras filmadoras, y un ca??n de agua
con gran capacidad en su fuerza de presi?n, adem?s de un mecanismo para
marcar por 48 horas al que reciba una descarga de agua. Mientras las Fuerzas
Armadas han iniciado selectivos registros en las carreteras del pa?s, al
mismo tiempo la incursi?n de aeronaves en los departamentos de la zona
Atl?ntica de Honduras.

El Cofadeh manifiesta a las estructuras de Protecci?n de los Derechos
Humanos y a la comunidad internacional su preocupaci?n por la seguridad de
los activistas sociales que luchan por el restablecimiento del orden
democr?tico.

El Cofadeh solicita a la Comunidad Internacional mantenerse alerta sobre la
situaci?n de derechos humanos y exigir al Estado de Honduras garantizar la
vida e integridad de la poblaci?n hondure?a y extranjeros residentes del
pa?s. De los Hechos y los Hechores Ni Olvido, Ni perd?n*

I write you in my role as President of Honduras, valuing the excellent relations between our countries and in defense of the democracy violated in Honduras as consequence of the Military Coup d?Etat perpetrated June 28 of this year, when soldiers invaded my home and at gunpoint kidnapped and took me to Costa Rica.
The National Congress forged my resignation letter and, abusing its power, emitted an illegal decree which ?separated me from the charge of Constitutional President? without Constitutional backing to do so. The same was the case for the arrest order that the Court had emitted without having received any legal complain and without my having been cited to appear before any tribunal or trial. It has been condemned and described by all the countries of the world as a violent and surprising rupture of democratic order, a Military Coup d?Etat.
At this moment in Honduras we are in a de facto State. There is no Constitution. Nor are there Constitutional powers because they have been destroyed by force by the military Coup d?Etat on that ominous day of June 28, 2009.
The Constitution of the Republic establishes in Article 3: ?No one owes obedience to an usurper government, nor to those who occupy public positions or jobs by the force of weapons or using means or procedures that bankrupt or fail to recognize what the Constitution and the law establishes. Those actions by so-called authorities are null and void. The people have the right to insurrection to defend the Constitutional order.?
In reading that article, you can understand that the Honduran people are legally empowered to act using all means, styles and forms that they consider necessary to restore democracy. We have consciously taken the path of peaceful resistance, with the goal of establishing noncooperation and nonviolence like methods of civil disobedience and twenty-first century popular struggle against the rise of military force.
We thank the entire international community for your support for our labor to reconstruct the State of Law, that being the last effort of the poorly reached Tegucigalpa-San Jos? Accord, backed by the OAS and the US Department of State. Its letter and spirit has as its proposal the ?return of the title the executive branch to what it was prior to June 28.? And it was openly violated by the de facto regime which in which Mr. Micheletti pretends to head a government of reconciliation, refusing to convene the National Congress, in definitive noncompliance of the timeline and text.
Now, unilaterally, he seeks to utilize the aborted accord by convening the National Congress on December 2, a date upon which the political actors of the accord will have been substantially modified, in the sense that by then they will have already been submitted to the opinion ofthe voters without having restored Constitutional order.
The elections of November 29 and their use of public funds under a de facto regime, without having previously restored democracy and the State of Law as OAS and UN resolutions demand, without even having installed the government of unity and reconciliation, are illegal, illegitimate, and constitute a criminal act.
At the moment that the de facto regime with its soldiers convenes a spurious electoral process under repression, without legal guarantees, and without a political agreement, in which the military dictatorship is the guarantor of the law, it only strengthens its actions of force and impunity.
Precisely today, Channel 36, property of journalist Esdras Amado L?pez, the only television chain that has opposed the regime, has had its signal blocked and taken off the air by the dictatorship.
The de facto regime has frontally disregarded the resolutions of the OAS, the UN and the European Union. It has also violated the Democratic Charter of the OAS and its resolutions while some of Honduras? friends among countries demonstrate ambiguity and support for the electoral process without having restored democratic order and without political dialogue. That permits the de facto regime to impose its will by force.
As President of Honduras, I communicate with you to say that below these conditions I will not back the electoral process and will proceed to challenge it legally in the name of the men and women of my country and of hundreds of community leaders that suffer the loss of democracy, the repression, the unfair circumstances and the suppression of freedom.
These elections have to be annulled and rescheduled to when the sovereign will of the people is respected.
In these difficult moments for our brother countries of Am?rica, we ask for your solidarity with Honduras.

That you accompany us based on the facts that you know, reiterating the position of not supporting a unilateral intent to give validity to an accord that was quickly rescinded by the violations consummated by the dictatorship.
Reaffirming the condemnation of the coup d?etat of the military State and not supporting a de facto regime whose existence today shames all the peoples of Latin Am?rica Latina, that after all the attempts by the international community to reverse the coup d?etat have ended in a total failure for everyone.
Appealing to maintain your firmness in the execution of the resolutions passed by the OAS and the UN and not adopting ambiguous and imprecise positions like those displayed today by the government of the United States of America, with whose final posture has weakened the process of reversing the coup d?etat, demonstrating division in the international community. By feeding this coup d?etat the democratic security in the hemisphere and the stability of the Presidents of Am?rica is put at risk, with the resurgence of military castes over civil authority. Legitimizing coups d?etat by means of spurious electoral processes divides and does not contribute to the unity of the nations of Am?rica.
I ask for your cooperation so that this Military Coup d?Etat its bloody violations of human rights do not go unpunished. Already, the International Criminal Court has received complaints and allowed them to proceed to trial to obtain justice for our people and apply the corresponding sanctions to those who committed treason to the Nation and crimes against humanity in Honduras.
We voice our energetic rejection of those who support the maneuvers to launder the coup d?etat, covering up for the golpistas to leave their crimes protected.
With our full attention, we invite all the nations to recognize our government and that they abstain from supporting the actions of the illegal regime that usurped power by force of weapons.
We cordially demand and exhort your representatives to the OAS and the UN to continue defending and supporting the rights of the people and of the legitimately elected governments, since when one of our nations suffers an assault it is an affront to all Am?rica; and, each time a government elected by the peoples of Am?rica is toppled, violence and terrorism win and Democracy suffers a defeat.
In wait of your response, I appreciate the invaluable support demonstrated until now for these principles and I send you greetings reiterating my esteem and my highest consideration.

JOSE MANUEL ZELAYA ROSALES
President of the Republic of Honduras

Message-ID: <4B0C0276.2000706@quixote.org>

*Emergency Resolution on the Current Crisis in Honduras ? S.F. Labor 
Council*
 
Whereas, following the June 28, 2009 military coup in Honduras, the San 
Francisco Labor Council and AFL-CIO National Convention both passed 
resolutions in September demanding immediate reinstatement of President 
Manuel Zelaya, restoration of all labor and democratic rights, and an 
immediate halt to all U.S. aid to the coup government. The Honduran 
labor movement is at the heart of the National Resistance to the coup; 
and  
 
Whereas, since that time President Zelaya is still taking refuge in the 
Brazilian Embassy; the Honduran people led by the National Resistance 
Front against the Coup continue to mount massive daily demonstrations 
against the coup regime; and the coup government continues to deploy the 
U.S.-trained army and police in an attempt to suppress the popular will 
and prevent the exercise of democratic rights; and
 
Whereas, a U.S.-brokered deal [the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accords] to 
reinstate President Zelaya by November 5th ? in preparation for the Nov. 
29th elections ? has unraveled. Nov. 5th came and went and the coup 
regime refused to restore Zelaya to the Presidency. As a result 
President Zelaya, denouncing the ?bad faith? of the U.S. government, 
said the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accords were ?a dead letter?. The National 
Resistance Front confirmed it could not participate in nor recognize the 
legitimacy of the Nov. 29th elections under these conditions; and
 
Whereas, mass tear-gassing and beating of protesters has continued. 
There is a total lack of political space for opposition candidates to 
campaign and for the expression of any dissident political opinion. 
Under the current coup regime, conditions for free, fair and open 
elections are non-existent; and
 
Whereas, the National Resistance Front has denounced the Nov. 29th 
elections as a scheme by ?the de facto regime that is repressing the 
people and violating the civil and human rights of its citizens, with 
the goal of validating the dictatorship of the oligarchy.? It said that 
participating in such an electoral exercise ?would give legitimacy to 
the coup regime or its successor.? The Front also stressed that ?our 
stance in opposition to the electoral farce will remain firm even if 
President Zelaya is reinstated between now and Nov. 29th, since 20 days 
or less is too short a time to dismantle an electoral fraud many months 
in the making,? and since there is no time for opposition candidates to 
mount a campaign.
 
*Therefore be it resolved*, that the San Francisco Labor Council stands 
in solidarity with the heroic people of Honduras as they resist the 
savage repression of a military dictatorship, and fight to win real 
democracy and sovereignty for their country;
 
*And be it further resolved*, that the Council send official letters to 
Congressional representatives and President Obama demanding that the 
U.S. government take strong measures against the repressive coup 
government in Honduras ? and whatever government may succeed it as a 
result of the ?electoral farce? scheduled for Nov. 29th. These measures 
should include: 1) Immediately break off all political and economic ties 
with the coup government; 2) Recall the US ambassador; 3) Establish an 
economic embargo on all trade and aid to Honduras; 4) Freeze the U.S. 
bank accounts of the coup plotters and deny them visas for U.S. travel; 
5) Shut down U.S. military bases in Honduras;
 
*And be it further resolved*, that the Council demand that the U.S. 
denounce and refuse to recognize the results of the Nov. 29th elections 
or any electoral process organized under the repressive coup regime;
 
*And be it finally resolved*, that the Council make common cause with 
other labor and community organizations, to develop a reliable support 
network for the National Resistance Front against the Coup, and for the 
labor unions that are at the center of the Resistance movement in Honduras.
*/[Adopted Nov. 23, 2009 by unanimous vote of the San Francisco Labor 
Council.]/**//*

*COMUNICADO No. 36*

 

El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado comunica:

 

   1. Afirmamos de nueva cuenta que el proceso electoral del 29 de
      noviembre carece de toda legitimidad y legalidad por que se
      realiza en marco de un Golpe de Estado militar donde se niegan
      derechos humanos b?sicos de la poblaci?n.

Los cuerpos represivos del Estado han aumentado la vigilancia y 
persecuci?n de los y las militantes de la Resistencia, hasta el punto de 
declarar un Estado de Emergencia que podr?a ser el pre?mbulo de una 
ofensiva militar contra el pueblo desarmado.

 

   2. Hacemos patente nuestro reconocimiento a los movimientos pol?ticos
      y candidatos que han sido consecuentes con el compromiso de
      renunciar a la farsa electoral montada por la oligarqu?a en caso
      de no ser restituido en su puesto el Presidente Manuel Zelaya
      Rosales. Su acto demuestra respeto por el pueblo, fidelidad a sus
      principios y dignidad; todas virtudes necesarias para enfrentar a
      los enemigos de la libertad y la democracia.

 

Al mismo tiempo deploramos el doble discurso de quienes asumieron la 
responsabilidad de acompa?ar el movimiento de Resistencia Nacional en su 
desconocimiento activo del proceso electoral y que hoy se prestan a 
participar en ?l, validando de esta manera el Golpe de Estado y la 
continuaci?n de la dictadura que hoy encabeza Micheletti, pero que 
ma?ana ser? asumida por otro testaferro de la oligarqu?a.

 

Conocemos que la militancia y las bases de estos movimientos no se 
prestar?n para avalar un proceso electoral que pretende dar un rostro 
aceptable un r?gimen represivo, explotador y totalitario.

 

   3. Reiteramos nuestro llamado a toda la poblaci?n a desconocer la
      farsa electoral del 29 de noviembre. Hoy el pueblo sabe que el
      ?nico camino para el volver del orden institucional es la
      restituci?n incondicional del presidente Zelaya, y la instalaci?n
      de la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente.

 

   4. Recordamos que las acciones del Frente Nacional de Resistencia
      contra el Golpe de Estado son exclusivamente pac?ficas y
      rechazamos cualquier declaraci?n, desinformaci?n o acci?n
      malintencionada por parte de la dictadura que intente desvirtuar
      nuestra lucha o distorsionar su naturaleza no violenta.

 

 

*?Resistimos y Venceremos!*

*Alerta N.4*
* *
*Dictadura militar se arma de m?quinas de muerte y pertrechos y declara 
la guerra al  Frente de la Resistencia pac?fica.*
 
La Dictadura pol?tica-militar --empresarial a trav?s de Roberto 
Micheletti, ha movido sus tenebrosos hilos para armarse hasta los 
dientes, dot?ndose en los ?ltimos d?as de equipo y pertrechos de guerra, 
para convertir el proceso electoral en un escenario de guerra y 
enfrentar a un enemigo imaginario, representado en el Frente Nacional de 
Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado.
 
El Comit? de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras (Cofadeh) 
posee informaci?n fidedigna en la que se demuestran estos hechos:
 
En comunicaci?n girada el 9 de noviembre de 2009, por la Secretar?a de 
Finanzas del r?gimen de facto a las autoridades de la Aduana de Puerto 
Cort?s, se ordena el ingreso libre de impuestos de un cami?n blindado 
para control de disturbios callejeros, basado en un cami?n Ford modelo 
F750, motor Cummis diesel con transmisi?n de 6 velocidades, con todos 
sus accesorios, a un costo de $ 11,990.000.00 (Once millones 990 mil 
d?lares) procedente de Estados Unidos de Am?rica, mediante 
intermediaci?n de la empresa representaciones, Comercio e Inversiones S. 
de R.L. de C.V. y consignado a la Secretar?a de Seguridad.
 
La maquinaria de muerte est? equipada con una torreta de ca??n de agua 
con presi?n de 300 libras y 150 galones por minuto, 4 c?maras blindadas 
de seguridad con una visi?n de 360 grados, operadas desde una estaci?n 
de video-grabaci?n dentro del cami?n.
 
Adem?s, la pesada m?quina est? dotada de puertos para la colocaci?n de 
armas, removedor frontal de barricadas y dispositivos de rodaje en todas 
las llantas en caso de pinchaduras, sirenas, luces policiales, monitores 
LCD en tablero y plataforma de estaci?n trasera de la tripulaci?n, 
protegido con blindaje en piso, vidrios, motor, radiador, tanque de 
combustible y bater?a.
 
El escandaloso gasto invertido en m?quinas mortales registrado en el 
oficio SDES-0584-2009 est? firmado por el secretario de Seguridad, Jorge 
Rodas Gamero, que desoy? las instrucciones de su comandante Manuel 
Zelaya Rosales y se pleg? a los caprichos de Roberto Micheletti.
 
Por otra parte el Secretario General de Finanzas, Rafael Antonio Trejo 
env?o una nota a las autoridades de la aduna La Mesa de San Pedro Sula 
para que se autorizara el ingreso en dispensa oficial, de 10 mil 
granadas de mano lacrim?genas valoradas en 12,800,000.00 (doce millones 
800 mil lempiras) y 5 mil proyectiles de 37 mm de gas lacrim?geno con 
valor de 4, 950,000.00 (Cuatro millones 950 mil lempiras) para un valor 
total de 17 millones 750 mil lempiras, detallado en el pedido n?mero 
003534.
 
El despilfarro millonario utilizado en la compra de pertrechos y 
unidades de combate urbano, aunado a las comunicaciones giradas a los 
alcaldes y alcaldesas para que identifiquen a miembros de la Resistencia 
contra el Golpe de Estado, m?s la orden de despejar las salas de los 
centros hospitalarios del pa?s, reafirma la visi?n de que nos 
enfrentamos a terribles presagios en v?speras del desarrollo del acto 
espurio que se llevar? a cabo el 29 de noviembre.  
 
El Cofadeh ha denunciado que el gremio magisterial est? siendo ubicado 
como un objetivo militar y policial, varios de sus miembros han sido 
asesinados por condenar el golpe de Estado y exigir el retorno al orden 
constitucional y cientos de maestros y maestras han resultado v?ctimas 
de la brutal represi?n.
 
En un desplazamiento como nunca antes visto, las ciudades de  Nacaome y 
San Lorenzo en el departamento de Valle, est?n militarizadas para 
perseguir a la resistencia de esos lugares.
 
Ayer 23 de noviembre se conoci? del secuestro por paramilitares del  
profesor Luis Gradis Espinal (56), Coordinador de la Resistencia en la 
zona sur  y el d?a de hoy, su cuerpo sin vida fue encontrado atado de 
pies y manos en un camino de la aldea Las Casitas, al suroeste de la 
capital,  cercana a una zona, en donde se localizan varias unidades 
militares.
 
El profesor Gradis Espinal sali? de su casa de habitaci?n el pasado 
domingo 22 de Noviembre hacia la capital con el prop?sito de reunirse 
con uno de sus hijos. Versiones que han trascendido afirman que Gradis 
Espinal se conduc?a en su veh?culo cuando fue interceptado por una 
patrulla motorizada en el anillo perif?rico en esta capital. El maestro 
fue capturado y conducido a un lugar desconocido.
Los maestros est?n siendo perseguidos, algunos de ellos se han visto 
obligados a abandonar el pa?s temporalmente.
De igual forma merece nuestra preocupaci?n el caso del profesor Marco 
Tulio Valdez, l?der de la Resistencia en San Lorenzo, Valle, quien est? 
siendo fuertemente amenazado por las autoridades militares que han 
tomado control absoluto de ese departamento; desde ya responsabilizamos 
a este cuerpo, especialmente al Comandante Mendoza, por cualquier 
atentado contra la vida de Valdez.
El Cofadeh condena en?rgicamente el asesinato de Lu?s Gradis Espinal, 
cuya muerte se suma a la de Roger Vallejo, Mario Contreras y F?lix Murillo.
Exhortamos a la comunidad nacional e internacional para que condenen 
estos atropellos que est? siendo v?ctima el pueblo hondure?o por la 
dictadura militar, y nuevamente  reiteramos que el acto p?blico que se 
llevar? a cabo el 29 de noviembre, es una acci?n de los militares, 
polic?as y paramilitares.

	munitions
Message-ID: <525650.49348.qm@web38908.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

*COMPA, MAINTAIN THE ALERT!*
*Alert No.4*
?
*Military Dictatorship arms itself with weapons and munitions of death and declares war on the National Front of Non-Violent Resistance.*
?
?The military-political-corporate Dictatorship, by means of Roberto Micheletti, has moved its shadowy web to arm itself to the teeth, coming into possession in recent days of equipment and munitions of war, to turn the electoral process into a war scene and confront the imaginary enemy represented by the National Front of Resistance against the Coup D?Etat.
?
? The Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH) has confirmed information that demonstrates these facts:
?
In a communication circulated November 9, 2009, by the Secretary of Finance of the de facto regime to the authorities of the Customs in the Port of Cortes, there was ordered the import free of taxes of an armored truck for control of street disturbances, based on the Ford truck model F750, with a Cummins diesel motor with six speed transmission, with all the accessories, at a cost of $11,990,000.00 USD ($11 million 990 thousand dollars), coming from the United States, through intermediary of the representative company, Commercio e Inversiones S. de R.L. of C.V. and co-signed by the Secretary of Security.
?
This death machine is equipped with a mounted water canon with 300 pounds of pressure and 150 gallons per minute capacity, 4 armored cameras with 360 degree vision, operated from a video recording stations within the truck.
?
In addition, the heavy machine is equipped with doors for the placement of weapons, a barricade remover in front, rotation devices in all the tires in the case of flats, sirens, police lights, LCD monitors on console and rear station platform, protected by armor on the floor, in the windows, motor, radiator, fuel tank and battery.
?
The scandalous cost invested in mortal weapons registered in purchase 
Order SDES-0584-2009 is signed by the Secretary of Security, Jorge Rodas Gamero, who switched taking instructions from his commander Manuel Zelaya Rosales and now fulfills the whims of Roberto Micheletti.
?
?
Elsewhere the General Secretary of Finance, Rafael Antonio Trejo sent a note to the customs authorities in the La Mesa in San Pedro Sula to authorize the entry at official expense of 10,000 tear gas hand grenades valued at 12,800,000 lempiras and 5,000 tear gas projectiles of 37 mm each valued at 4,950,000 lempiras for a total value of 17,750,000 lempiras, detailed in request number 003534.? 
?
The squandering of millions utilized in the purchase of munitions and urban combat units, added to the communications circulated to the mayors asking them to identify members of the Resistance against the Coup d? Etat, in addition to the order to vacate the rooms in the hospital centers of the country, reaffirms the vision that we are confronting terrible signs on the eve of the implementation of the spurious act that will take place on November 29.
?
COFADEH has denounced the fact that the public school teachers are being considered as military and police targets, many of whose members have been assassinated for condemning the coup d?etat and demanding the return of the constitutional order, and hundreds of teachers have been victims of brutal repression.
?
In maneuvers never before seen, the cities of Nacaome and San Lorenzo in the department of Valle are militarized for pursuit of the resistance in these places.
?
Yesterday November 23 we learned of the kidnapped by paramilitaries of Professor Luis Gradis Espinal (56 years of age), Coordinator of the Resistance in the southern zone, and today his lifeless body was found feet and hands tied on a dirt road in the hamlet Las Casitas, southwest of the capital, near an area where various military units are located.
?
Professor Gradis Espinal left his house last Sunday, November 22 for the capital with the objective of meeting with one of his sons.? Confirmed versions have it that Gradis Espinal was driving his vehicle when he was intercepted by a motorized patrol in the periphery loop road of the capital.? The teacher was captured and taken to an unknown place.
?
The teachers are being persecuted, some of them have been obliged to leave the country temporarily.
?
In the same way our concern is needed in the case of professor Marco Tulio Valdez, leader of the Resistance in San Lorenzo, Valle, since he is being strongly threatened by the military authorities who have taken absolute control of the department; from this moment we hold responsible this body, especially Commander Mendoza, for any attempts on the life of Valdez.
?
COFADEH energetically condemns the assassination of Luis Gradis Espinal, whose death is added to that of Roger Vallejo, Mario Contreras and Felix Murillo.
?
We exhort the national and international community to condemn these attacks to which the Honduran people are falling victim by the military dictatorship and once again we reiterate that the public act that will take place on November 29 is a military, police and paramilitary action.
?
?
?
*Of the deeds and the deed doers!*
*Neither forgetfulness nor forgiveness*
?

Estimada Se?ora Secretaria,


Estoy escribiendo esta carta para
pedir al Departamento de Estado de EE.UU. que no reconozca la
legitimidad de las elecciones del 29 de noviembre en Honduras. Digo
esto por dos razones principales: (1) El Presidente Manuel Zelaya no
ha sido reinstalado al puesto de mandatario de Honduras al que fue
elegido democr?ticamente, tal como estaba previsto en el Acuerdo de
San Jos?, y (2) el Estado de Emergencia ha sido instaurado por el
gobierno golpista --lo que hace imposible la realizaci?n de
elecciones libres, abiertas y democr?ticas.


El 29 de junio, el d?a despu?s
de que el presidente Manuel Zelaya fue secuestrado de su casa y
llevado por la fuerza a Costa Rica, el Presidente Barack Obama declar?
lo siguiente:


"Manuel Zelaya fue depuesto por
un golpe militar. Zelaya fue elegido democr?ticamente y sigue siendo
el presidente de Honduras. ?l no ha completado su mandato. Ser?a
un terrible precedente si empezamos a ir hacia atr?s a la ?poca en
que los golpes militares eran un medio de de
transici?n".


El Presidente Obama dijo la verdad.
Pero, por desgracia la pol?tica de EE.UU. en relaci?n a Honduras
se ha apartado considerablemente de esta declaraci?n inicial del
Presidente Obama. El 5 de noviembre, el Subsecretario de Estado de los
EE.UU. Thomas Shannon dijo a CNN en Espa?ol que Estados Unidos
reconocer? la legitimidad de las elecciones del 29 de noviembre,
incluso si el presidente Zelaya no es reintegrado como presidente.
Esto violar?a el esp?ritu y la letra del Acuerdo de San Jos? y
equivaldr?a a un apoyo incondicional por parte de los Estados Unidos
al gobierno golpista y a sus pol?ticas represivas.


Hoy, con menos de una semana antes
de las elecciones, todav?a hay tiempo para que el gobierno de EE.UU.
se una al resto de Am?rica Latina y la comunidad internacional al
rechazar estas elecciones golpistas, realizadas bajo ley
marcial.


Tambi?n apoyo la postergacion de
de estas elecciones a una fecha posterior, tal y como lo propuso el
Presidente Zelaya desde su oficina en la Embajada de Brasil en
Tegucigalpa, el 19 de noviembre. Dijo,


"Como Presidente Constitucional
de Honduras, condeno las elecciones fraudulentas del 29 de noviembre
organizadas por el gobierno golpista. No son m?s que una farsa
destinada a encubrir y legitimar un golpe de Estado, y para ocultar
los cr?menes cometidos por el r?gimen de facto contra el pueblo
hondure?o, la Constituci?n y la Democracia.


"Nuestra posici?n es clara:
no avalamos y no vamos a reconocer el resultado de estas elecciones.
... Ser? necesario realizar nuevas elecciones, cuando existan las
condiciones necesarias para permitir elecciones verdaderamente libres,
justas y democr?ticas ".


Paz y amistad,


firmado/

California

Day 159 of Resistance: Despite state terror, resistance
continues<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/HondurasResists/%7E3/KK7fXaDNHIw/day-159-of-resistance-despite-state.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email>

The campaign of terror carried out by the dictatorship against the popular
sectors is coming to be just as predicted and denounced by
<http://www.tiempo.hn/images/stories/JUBILADOS1.jpg> Andr?s Pav?n, president
of the Honduran Human Rights Commission (CODEH <http://www.codeh.hn/>), a
few weeks ago. The attack perpetrated with military
arms<http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=347672&CategoryId=23558>against
the politician and business man from Olancho, Ulises Sarmiento, was
just the beginning.

Today is the burial of the body of the teacher Luis Gradis
Espinal<http://web3.bernama.com/ssig/news/fullnews.php?news_id=86883&news_cat=sn>,
a teacher from the resistance of the south of the country. His body was
found yesterday, tied and executed, after having been reported disappeared
by his family. Witnesses are sure that he was detained by the police and
military in one of the many search operations taking place around the whole
country.

In the city El Progreso, the police are carrying out intense operations in
the homes of the leaders of the Resistance, and they claim to have found a
small arsenal of arms in the house of a teacher, arresting even a German
citizen. Among the arms they report several founds of nails that according
to the police spokesperson would be used to make traps to puncture the tires
of cars and stop the trucks carrying electoral material. In the same zone,
the communities Tacamiche <http://www.envio.org.ni/articulo/1893> and Sil?m
report that they are surrounded by hundreds of military soldiers.

In the city Danl?, several young people were kidnapped by the army causing
terror among the population who fears for their lives. According to the
denunciation from the family members, they have been recruited forcefully
for military service. At the same time, in the same city, a human rights
investigator was placed under arrest for hindering the work of the justice
operatives.
<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1FV2f88KeOE/Sw7wcnZe6YI/AAAAAAAAAUM/M_5fUtM3mhY/s1600/mujerpolicia.jpg>
Today at night Milton Jimenes Puerto, the close collaborator, ex-minister
and friend of President Zelaya who had been underground since the 28th of
June was arrested. The arrest of Jimenez is the carrying out of the first
arrest order issued for a political prisoner linked to the inner-circle of
the Zelaya government and serves as a reminder of what could happen if Mel
dares to leave his diplomatic refuge.

The police this week imported a huge arsenal of arms
<http://www.cofadeh.org/html/noticias/gobierno_de_facto_prepara_represion.html>including
10,000 tear gas grenades, 5,000 rubber bullets and a new anti-riot tank
worth $12 million dollars. According to the report by the secretary of
security, the objective of acquiring it is to defend the right of the people
to elect their authorities.

Nonetheless, it is hard to believe that all of these actions are being
carried out with the goal of securing the elections. The Honduran elections
are far from being recognized by the majority of the countries of Latin
America and though the United States, Per?, Colombia and Panam? (the
ultra-right arm of the continent) have said they will recognize the new
president, what is certain is that this will bring tension amongst the
different governments that are already extremely divided.

But who comes out the most damaged from the Honduras effect is the Obama
administration<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/26/world/americas/26honduras.html>,
who has sacrificed the possibilities of a more egalitarian foreign policy,
of cooperation amongst nations, for an imperial realpolitik that has always
separated the United States from the subcontinent. Lula da Silva has already
stated his disillusion with the turn to the right in the foreign policy of
the U.S. president and reminds him of his promise made just six months ago
and broken now because of Honduras, of constructing a new relationship
between the United States and Latin America.

And although there aren't real international observers for the elections,
(the regime is pleased with the arrival of the insignificant Concerned Women
of America who are coming, together with the "State" of
<http://www.laht.com/honduras2/hondurasholdown.jpg>Taiwan, as observers and
witnesses to the transparency of the Honduran electoral process). What is
true is that the eyes of the world will be on Honduras this weekend.

The Resistance knows that the elections are an important recourse to save
the dictatorship by transferring the authority to a front person who with a
certain degree of legality will conclude the political project of the coup
d'etat. It also knows that because they are so important the dictatorship
will seek to defend them with all the necessary force. And that is the trap,
because if the despotic Micheletti regime, with or without him in from of
the government, carries out an unprecedented action of repression to
guarantee the elections on the same day that the eyes of the world will be
carefully watching his actions, he runs the great risk, not just of the
elections not being recognized, but of them being contested by the
international community.

So what then does the dictatorship seek with its terror campaign?

The government that wins in these elections will inherit an extremely
difficult country to govern. If we combine a debt of close to 10,000 million
Lempiras with the private bank of a country with an index of 10% annual
interest, the lack of real possibilities of external financing to cushion
the crisis, a decrease of close to 4% of the national economy, plus the
devaluation of the currency up to 50%, an increase in taxes
<http://www.mediosindependientes.info/mi/_jpg_/p/p1130930.jpg>and a lack of
cash to pay salaries, in addition to an unhappy and organized popular
sector, we get a government lacking internal and external legitimacy,
extremely weak, only sustained by the armed forces and the police.

The oligarchy needs to eliminate the political opposition to consolidate its
new project of domination, that elimination can only ocurr through terror,
killing and genocide. Nonetheless, they once again commit the same error
that they committed on the eve of the 28th of June. They under-estimate the
creative capacity, the transformational capacity of the struggle, the
combativeness of a people that has identified its enemy and understands,
this time even more clearly, that a path towards national liberation,
towards the re-founding of Honduras, has begun.

D?a 159 de Resistencia: A pesar de terror del estado, resistencia

 <http://www.mediosindependientes.info/mi/_jpg_/p/p1130947.jpg>La campa?a de
terror ejecutada por la dictadura en contra de los sectores populares, est?
realiz?ndose seg?n como lo denunciara Andr?s Pav?n, presidente del CODEH,
hace un par de semanas. El ataque perpetrado con armas militares en contra
del pol?tico y empresario olanchano, Ulises Sarmiento, fue s?lo el inicio.

Hoy es sepultado el cuerpo del profesor Gradis Espinal, maestro de la
resistencia de la zona sur del pa?s. Su cuerpo fue encontrado el d?a de
ayer, maniatado y ejecutado, luego de haber sido reportado desaparecido por
su familiares. Testigos aseguran fue detenido por elementos policiales y
militares en uno de los tantos operativos de revisi?n que hay por todo el
pa?s.

En la ciudad de El Progreso, la polic?a realiza intensos operativos en las
residencias de los l?deres de la Resistencia y dicen haber encontrado un
peque?o arsenal de armas en casa de una profesora, arrestando incluso a un
ciudadano de origen alem?n. Entre las armas incautadas reportan varias
libras de clavos que seg?n el vocero de la polic?a ser?an usados para hacer
?miguelitos? o trampas para punchar las llantas de los carros y boicotear
los camiones repartidores de las urnas electorales. En la misma zona, las
comunidades de Tacamiche y Sil?m reportan estar rodeadas por decenas de
elementos militares.

En la ciudad de Danl?, varios j?venes fueron secuestrados por el ejercito
causando terror entre la poblaci?n que teme por sus vidas. Seg?n la denuncia
de los familiares, han sido reclutados para forzarlos a hacer el servicio
militar. Mientras, en la misma ciudad, un procurador de los derechos humanos
fue puesto bajo arresto por entorpecer el trabajo de los operadores de
justicia.

El d?a de hoy en la noche fue arrestado Milton Jimenes Puerto, cercano
colaborador, ex canciller y amigo del presidente Zelaya quien desde el 28 de
Junio se encontraba en la clandestinidad. Con el arresto de Jimenez se
ejecuta la orden de captura del primer prisionero pol?tico vinculado a la
c?pula del gobierno de Zelaya y sirve a su vez como recordatorio de lo que
podr?a pasar si el propio Mel se atreve a salir de su refugio diplom?tico.

La polic?a import? esta semana, un gran arsenal de armas que incluyen 10,000
granadas lacrim?genas, 5,000 balas de goma y un nuevo cami?n tanque
anti-disturbios valorado en 12 millones de d?lares. Seg?n reporte de la
secretar?a de seguridad, el objetivo de la adquisici?n estriba en la defensa
del derecho del
<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1FV2f88KeOE/Sw7jtIUYeqI/AAAAAAAAAUE/qwXGi5k1o8E/s1600/mupropaganda.jpg>pueblo
a elegir sus autoridades.

Sin embargo, cuesta creer que toda esta acci?n se realice con el fin ?nico
de asegurar las elecciones. Los comicios hondure?os est?n ahora lejos de ser
reconocidos por la mayor?a de los pa?ses latinoamericanos y si bien Estados
Unidos, Per?, Col?mbia y Panam? (el ala ultra derechista del continente) ha
dicho que reconocer? al nuevo presidente, lo cierto es que esto traer?
tensi?n entre los distintos gobiernos ya de por s? sumamente divididos.

Pero quien m?s sale da?ado con el efecto Honduras, es la administraci?n
Obama, quien ha sacrificado las posibilidades de una pol?tica exterior mas
igualitaria, de cooperaci?n entre las naciones, por el real politic imperial
que desde siempre ha separado a Estados Unidos del subcontinente. Lula da
Silva ha manifestado desde ya su desilusi?n sobre el giro a la derecha en la
pol?tica exterior del presidente norteamericano y le recuerda su promesa,
hecha apenas seis meses atr?s y rota con Honduras, de construir una nueva
relaci?n entre Estados Unidos y Latino Am?rica.

Y aunque no hay observadores internacionales en los comicios, (el r?gimen
anuncia complacido la llegada de la insignificante asociaci?n Concerned
Women of America quien viene, junto al ?Estado? de Taiwan, como observadores
y testigos de la transparencia del proceso electoral hondure?o). Lo cierto
es que los ojos del mundo estar?n puestos sobre Honduras este fin de semana.

La Resistencia sabe que las elecciones son un recurso importante para salvar
la dictadura transfiriendo el mando a un testaferro quien con cierto grado
de legalidad deber? concluir el proyecto pol?tico del golpe de Estado. Sabe
tambi?n que por ser tan importantes buscar? defenderla con toda la fuerza
necesaria. Y es esa la trampa, porque si el r?gimen d?spota de Micheletti,
con o sin ?l frente a la c?mara, ejecuta una acci?n de represi?n sin
precedente por todo lo largo y ancho del pa?s para garantizar las
elecciones, el mismo d?a que los ojos del mundo ven con sumo cuidado sus
acciones, corre el gran peligro, no solo que los comicios no sean
reconocidos, sino que sean impugnados por la comunidad internacional.

?Qu? busca entonces la dictadura con toda su campa?a de terror?

El gobierno que gane en estas elecciones tendr? un pa?s sumamente dif?cil de
gobernar. Si combinamos
<http://www.tiempo.hn/images/stories/FuerzaAerea1.jpg>una deuda de cerca de
10,000 millones de lempiras suscrita con la banca privada del pa?s a un
?ndice del 10% de inter?s anual, la carencia de posibilidades reales
de financiamiento
externo que pueda amortiguar medianamente la crisis, un decrecimiento de
cerca del 4% de la econom?a nacional, m?s la devaluaci?n de la moneda hasta
un 50%, incremente en los impuestos y falta de efectivo para pagar salarios,
sumado a un sector popular altamente descontento y organizado, un gobierno
carente de legitimidad interna y externa, sumamente d?bil, sostenido
?nicamente por la fuerza armada y policial.

La oligarqu?a necesita eliminar la oposici?n pol?tica para consolidar su
nuevo proyecto de dominaci?n, esa eliminaci?n puede ocurrir ?nicamente a
trav?s de el terror, el asesinato y el genocidio. Sin embargo, comenten
nuevamente el mismo error que cometieron en la v?spera del 28 de Junio.
Desprecian la capacidad creativa, la capacidad transformadora de la lucha,
la combatividad de un pueblo que ha reconocido el enemigo y entiende, esta
vez con mayor claridad, que ha iniciado el camino hacia la liberaci?n
nacional, hacia la refundarci?n del Honduras.

?NO PASAR?N!

El perd?n: Carta al Obispo de Honduras 



Carta p?blica en relaci?n a los agravios sufridos despu?s del Golpe de Estado en Honduras. 

Xiomara Hortensia Zelaya (Pichu) 

Despu?s del golpe de estado la situaci?n en Honduras se ha vuelto un desaf?o para todos, especialmente para nosotros la familia del presidente Zelaya. He conocido muy de cerca la realidad en la que vivimos, ver la mentira circular por los medios en Honduras, caerse las mascaras de s?mbolos falsos que tiene ?sta sociedad y entrar en el sensible coraz?n humano. 

Presenci? el secuestro de mi padre y el destierro forzoso a Costa Rica del presidente con el asalto militar a nuestra casa en la madrugada del 28 de junio. A lo largo de estos meses hemos sido v?ctimas de la persecuci?n y represi?n del r?gimen impuesto por las armas. El dolor trasciende al saber que estas acciones se extienden a lo largo del territorio contra hombres y mujeres, j?venes, ni?os y ni?as que se expresan pac?ficamente contra el golpe de estado, luchan por su libertad y manifiestan su descontento contra el irrespeto al pueblo.

NO to the Fraudulent Nov 29 Elections in Honduras

NO U.S. Government Recognition of the Results of the Sham Elections

Restore President Jose Manuel Zelaya to Power

NO to the Repression in Honduras

I call on and insist that the United States government not recognize the
results of the upcoming November 29 elections in Honduras.

If the United States recognizes these blatantly fraudulent elections, it
will be clear that this government is and has been all along an accomplice
to the crimes committed by the de facto government of Roberto Micheletti
against the people of Honduras.

Since June 28 when democratically elected President Jose Manuel Zelaya was
ousted at gunpoint by the military, the illegal government of Micheletti has
created a state of terrorism against those who oppose the coup, resulting in
129 people murdered including children and elderly, 288 injured, and 2980
arbitrarily detained. It has imposed a climate of fear, intimidation and the
suppression of the most basic rights of free association and speech. It has
closed media outlets that are opposed to the coup, has militarized the
country and has targeted the leadership of the resistance for surveillance
and harassment thus endangering their lives.

Under this climate there are absolutely no conditions to hold fair, honest
or transparent elections. How can democratic elections take place when the
most basic electoral activities such as campaigning have not been able to
take place?

Furthermore, the announcement by the de facto government of increased
militarization and a "Contingency Plan" for health care services from
November 19 through December 4, making as many hospital beds available as
possible, suggest a sinister and ominous plan for a massive escalation of
criminal violence against the population.

I not only express my concern, but state loudly and clearly that I firmly
oppose the destructive and interventionist role played by the United States
government, its corporations in Honduras and its lobbying firms that have
worked on behalf of the coup forces. I in addition condemn the media and
accuse it of complicity for never giving voice to the people in Honduras who
are resisting the criminal military coup d'?tat keeping the people in the
United States unaware of the real and dangerous situation.

The United States has Honduran blood on its hands. Through its involvement
in the Honduran coup, it has continued its long history of siding with the
criminal dictatorships in Latin America against the honest aspirations of
the majority of the people in the region.

Therefore, I demand, on behalf of the future generations both in the United
States and in Honduras and the rest of the world, that the U.S. cease and
desist from aiding criminal governments like the de facto government in
Honduras, by not recognizing the November 29 elections.

Sincerely,

NO A LAS ELECCIONES FRAUDULENTAS EN HONDURAS

EXIGIR QUE EL GOBIENO DE LOS EEUU

NO RECONOZCA EL RESULTADO DE LAS ELECCIONES ILEG?TIMAS

REINSTAURACI?N DEL PRESIDENTE JOS? MANUEL ZELAYA

NO A LA REPRESI?N EN HONDURAS

Yo exige que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos no reconozca el resultado de las
elecciones en HONDURAS del 29 de noviembre.

Si Estados Unidos reconoce estas elecciones descaradamente fraudulentas,
quedar? claro que este gobierno es y ha sido c?mplice de los cr?menes
cometidos por el gobierno de facto de Roberto Micheletti contra el pueblo de
Honduras.

Desde el 28 de junio cuando el Presidente democr?ticamente elegido Jos?
Manuel Zelaya fue expulsado a punta de pistola por los militares, el
gobierno ilegal de Micheletti ha creado un estado de terrorismo contra
quienes se oponen al golpe de Estado, resultando en 129 personas asesinadas
incluyendo ni?os y ancianos, 288 heridos y 2980.detenidos arbitrariamente Se
ha impuesto un clima de miedo, intimidaci?n y supresi?n de los derechos m?s
b?sicos de libre asociaci?n y expresi?n. Ha cerrado medios de comunicaci?n
que se oponen al golpe, ha militarizado el pa?s y ha apuntado el liderazgo
de la resistencia para la vigilancia y el acoso, poniendo as? sus vidas en
peligro.

En este clima no hay condiciones para celebrar ninguna elecci?n que pueda
ser un proceso honesto y transparente. ?C?mo se pueden celebrar elecciones
democr?ticas cuando las acciones electorales m?s b?sicas como la de hacer
campa?as pol?ticas no se han podido ejercer?

Adem?s, el anuncio por el gobierno de facto de una creciente militarizaci?n
y un "plan de contingencia" para los servicios de atenci?n m?dica desde el
19 de noviembre hasta el 4 de diciembre, disponiendo del mayor n?mero de
camas de hospital, revelan un plan siniestro que alerta a una
intensificaci?n masiva de la violencia criminal en contra de la poblaci?n.

Yo no s?lo quisiera expresar mi preocupaci?n, sino que tambi?n quiero expone
en voz alta y clara que firmemente me opongo y acuso el papel destructivo e
intervencionista desempe?ado por el gobierno de Estados Unidos, sus empresas
en Honduras y sus grupos de cabildeo que han trabajado en nombre de las
fuerzas del golpe de estado. Adem?s, condeno y acuso a los medios de
comunicaci?n c?mplices que nunca han dado voz a las personas en Honduras que
se resisten al criminal golpe de estado militar, manteniendo al pueblo en
los Estados Unidos desinformado sobre la situaci?n real y peligrosa.

Estados Unidos tiene sangre hondure?a en sus manos. A trav?s de su
participaci?n en el golpe de estado de Honduras, ha continuado su larga
historia de envolvimiento en pro de las dictaduras criminales en Am?rica
Latina y en contra de las honestas aspiraciones de la mayor?a de los pueblos
en la regi?n.

Por lo tanto exijo, en nombre de las generaciones futuras, tanto en los
Estados Unidos como en Honduras y el resto del mundo, que Estados Unidos
cese y desista de ayudar a los gobiernos criminales como el gobierno de
facto en Honduras, no reconociendo las elecciones del 29 de noviembre.

Sinceramente,

Subject: [HNA] El ciego odio de los golpistas
Message-ID: <225377.95668.qm@web38901.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Estimados compas,



La prensa golpista publica y despotrica con toda holgura. Y las
opiniones de los lectores son en su mayora a favor de los golpistas. Aventure en
presentar mi opinion antigolpista en uno de esos comentarios, el mio es
el #14 -- vean como responden los reaccionarios.



En la lucha,



Sergio Reyes





Publicacion: www.elheraldo.hn

Magistrados: Zelaya debe someterse a la justicia

Rivera Avilez no dio detalles del contenido del documento, pero explic?
que el mismo contiene una relaci?n de hechos relacionados con el actuar
de Zelaya.

Sergio Reyes, esa resistencia ya no resiste nada, y ahora que ya no les
dan los 500 diarios, porque solo sirvi? para hacer rico a Barahona,
Alegria, Silvia Ayala, Carlos H Reyes y otros vividores de ese estilo,
Zelaya no tiene delitos, su unico pecado es ser golpeador de mujeres,
ladron, drogo, narco, ignorante, cabeza hueca, tonto, corrupto, enga?a
pencos como la resistencia, y bigote de foca

Que se la dejen ir toda..... La ley!!!!!



17 | Napoleon Sha.. 27.11.2009 02:00pm

EL PRESIDENTE ZELAYA NO TOMO PARTIDO POR LOS POBRES , TOMO EL DINERO DE
LOS POBRES PARA HACER PARTIDO , O MEJOR DICHO TOMARON EL DINERO DE LOS
POBRES PARA SER REPARTIDO , DE ESOS NO HAY DUDAS MAN , ESTE SERGIO
REYES DEBE DE HABER RECIBIDO DE LA MARMAJA QUE SACARON DEL BANCO
CENTRAL , SEGURO QUE ESTE NO LA DEVOLVIO , SE QUEDO CON ELLA Y NO
EMPLEO EN AQUELLO DE LA 4 URNA MAN ,ESO HICIERON LOS RESIS



16 | sancho 27.11.2009 01:40pm

Sergio Reyes,el delito de ManuelZelaya,fue haber usado a los pobres e
ignorantes para lograr sus caprichos personales y tu eres uno de ellos.
este pobre miserable con deliriun de dictador Hitleriano se merese la
pena de muerte al igual que sadam huseing. y espero que la justicia
hondurena sea implecable.



15 | Alex 27.11.2009 01:40pm

Obrigado Walmer, voce si sabe que o acontecido foi legal, comente com a
gente, imagino que a gente no Brasil esta com Honduras, nao como o
presidente lula. O povo do Honduras precisa o respaldo pra as elecoes. 



14 | Sergio Reyes 27.11.2009 12:40pm

El unico crimen del Presidente Zelaya fue haber empezado a tomar
partido por los pobres de Honduras siendo el mismo miembro de la clase
de los explotadores de los trabajadores. Eso no se lo perdonan los
privilegiados del pais. Con todas las injusticias han despertado al
gigante hasta aqui dominado: los pobres del campo y la ciudad. Viva la
Resistencia!



13 | Kuna Catracha 27.11.2009 12:40pm

Por respeto a el pueblo Hondure?o,amantes de la LIBERTAD,se debe de

el vienestar de el pais,quebranto la constitucion,sabe Dios cuantas
cosas mas q'la poblacion no sabe,uso a estos pobres analfabetas,q'viven

Sres. del CSJ y CN, no se equivoquen en darle ni un segundo a ese
hipocrita de Zelaya que como todos sabemos no respeta ni a su madre...
Las leyes se las pasa por los huevos ya que no le importa en lp
absoluto... Y les digo que si le dan un chance en la silla
presidencial, a todos los manda a mataro a sacar del pais... No se
equivoquen, juzguen a ese perro mal nacido por hacerle tanto da?o al
pais!

10 | carlos garcia de cuba 27.11.2009 12:40pm

Los poderes que se establesen en la constitucion y que hemos revisados
todos los que tenemos algun vinculo con el pueblo Hondureno estamos de
acuerdo que se debe de proceder primero en la parte violatoria de la
ley,y esta sea cual fuere la sentencia los demas poderes tienen que
ratificar EL HECHO DE TRAICION A LA PATRIA NO PUEDE EXCLUIRSE Y TAMPOCO
PUEDE SER ELIMINADO POR ANISTIA PRESIDENCIAL ....

Hond.?. da nervios la falasia que se vive en Hond. como se ve y conoce

*Esta es una alerta del COFADEH. reenv?ala a tus contactos
*

*
*

*
*

*Alerta N.5*

*  *

*Contin?a la persecuci?n y cacer?a de opositores por las fuerzas 
represivas del Estado*

*  *

Las fuerzas represivas del Estado en cuyo poder descansa la emergente 
dictadura del siglo XXI en Honduras, ha desplegado intensos operativos 
en varias regiones del pa?s para identificar a los opositores y las 
opositoras a las fraudulentas elecciones y callar las voces de aquellos 
y aquellas que en los ?ltimos meses se han identificado con la resistencia.

 

La persecuci?n contra l?deres y lideresas del movimiento social se ha 
intensificado en los ?ltimos d?as en los departamentos de Olancho, 
Intibuc?, Francisco Moraz?n, Col?n, Choluteca y El Para?so en un 
despliego militar y policial sin precedentes, como si se tratara de una 
alerta gris en estado de guerra.

 

Nos caus? suma preocupaci?n la noticia de la detenci?n ilegal y 
arbitraria del abogado Milton Jim?nez Puerto ocurrida en horas de la 
noche del d?a mi?rcoles 25 de noviembre, en el municipio de Omoa, 
Cort?s. El abogado Jim?nez Puerto experiment? en carne propia, en la 
d?cada de los ochenta, los horrores de la desaparici?n temporal y las 
torturas inflingidas por agentes del estado junto a 5 de sus compa?eros 
y compa?eras estudiantes universitarios, que permanecieron cautivos 
varias semanas en la hacienda del General (retirado) Am?lcar Zelaya, en 
el sector de Amarateca, Francisco Moraz?n, durante la aplicaci?n de la 
Doctrina de Seguridad Nacional dise?ada por los Estados Unidos de Am?rica.

 

Al filo de la medianoche del jueves 26 de noviembre, la dirigenta del 
Movimiento de Mujeres por la Paz , Visitaci?n Padilla, Merlin Eguigure 
fue capturada y conducida a las bartolinas de la Jefatura Metropolitana 
N?mero 7 en Tegucigalpa por agentes policiales, cuando se encontraba 
cenando junto a Renato Rodr?guez y Olvin Alvarez, en un restaurante 
ubicado en la salida al municipio de Valle de Angeles.

 

Los polic?as requirieron los papeles de dichas personas y del veh?culo 
propiedad de Visitaci?n Padilla y se encontraron con que la licencia de 
conducir de Merlin Eguigure estaba vencida, por lo que en este caso lo 
que proced?a era hacer una infracci?n de tr?nsito y no una detenci?n, 
tal y como se denunci?.

 

Los agentes policiales registraron el veh?culo y encontraron un spray 
que las activistas de derechos de las mujeres utilizaron para escribir 
mensajes en mantas y conmemorar de esta forma el D?a Internacional de la 
No Violencia Hacia la mujer y para protestar y exigir investigaciones 
ante la Secretar?a de Seguridad por las muertes violentas acontecidas 
este a?o.

 

 

La detenci?n de Merlin Eguigure se produce en momentos cuando ha 
arreciado la persecuci?n contra decenas de dirigentes y dirigentas del 
movimiento social, como parte de una estrategia de las fuerzas 
represivas del Estado para acallar las voces que condenaron el golpe de 
Estado y criminalizar de supuestos actos de boicot al Frente Nacional de 
Resistencia contra el Golpe.

 

El Cofadeh desplaz? a su equipo de abogadas para brindar acompa?amiento 
legal y solidario a la dirigenta feminista y espera la liberaci?n de 
Merlin Eguigure en las pr?ximas horas. Sin embargo critica la actitud 
coludida de la Fiscal?a General de la Rep?blica con las fuerzas 
policiales, que pretenden imputarle a la feminista, otros delitos como 
el de asociaci?n il?cita del que no existen pruebas.

 

Hace un mes, Merlin Eguigure hab?a estado siendo acechada y perseguida 
en el centro de la capital, otras de sus integrantes han sufrido 
amenazas y hostigamientos, incluso la sede del movimiento est? bajo 
vigilancia. El 26 de octubre varias integrantes del Movimiento de 
Mujeres por la Paz , Visitaci?n Padilla fueron detenidas mientras se 
manifestaban pac?ficamente en la colonia 30 de noviembre.

 

Entretanto en la zona sur del pa?s se ha reportado la persecuci?n contra 
el catedr?tico universitario y dirigente del Movimiento de Recuperaci?n 
de Tierras de Zacate Grande, Rudy de Grandes.

 

Esta ma?ana se denunci? que  varios sujetos vestidos de ropas civiles 
portando pistolas 9mm y que se transportan en motocicletas, han llegado 
en varias ocasiones a buscar al l?der comunitario a su oficina 
localizada en la sede del Centro Universitario Regional del Litoral 
Pac?fico en Choluteca

 

Por otra parte, la solicitud de informaci?n dirigida a alcaldes y 
alcaldesas por parte del Batall?n de Comunicaciones el 22 de octubre 
pasado, ha dado los primeros frutos cuando patrullas militares del X 
batall?n de Infanter?a, comandados por el coronel Benjam?n amenazan y 
amedrentan a las comunidades de Colomoncagua, departamento Intibuc?, por 
rechazar unas elecciones ilegales que el gobierno de facto de Roberto 
Micheletti, pretende blanquear el golpe de Estado del 28 de junio.

 

Los maestros y las maestras que han sido blanco de muerte y persecuci?n 
desde el golpe de Estado, siguen sufriendo las amenazas de efectivos 
militares que a toda costa quieren las llaves de los centros educativos 
y utilizan a directores departamentales para presionar a directores de 
escuelas y colegios.

 

En la comunidad de Llano Grande, Colomoncagua, Intibuc?, activistas de 
los partidos pol?ticos golpistas junto a autoridades locales electorales 
proporcionan listados de hombres y mujeres que han expresado 
p?blicamente su decisi?n de no participar del espurio proceso electoral.

 

En Marcala, La Paz y en Zacate Grande en San Lorenzo, departamento de 
Valle, se han proporcionado listados de l?deres y lideresas comunitarias 
identificadas como miembros del Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el 
Golpe, acciones que la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) est? documentando 
como cr?menes de persecuci?n pol?tica en Honduras.

 

Mientras en Danl?, El Para?so, al oriente al pa?s, fuertes operativos 
policiales amedrentan a los pobladores de aldeas y caser?os, en donde, 
abusando de su autoridad detuvieron en el sector de Jutiapa a seis 
personas, entre estas dos menores de edad, que se encontraban 
conversando en una esquina de su barrio. La detenci?n se produjo sin 
justificaci?n alguna por los elementos policiales al mando del oficial 
Atilio Moraz?n. Se denuncian constantes operativos de al menos 8 
patrullas policiales que causan zozobra en la poblaci?n.

 

La CPI se encargar? de perseguir judicialmente a pol?ticos, empresarios, 
periodistas, fiscales, militares, polic?as, jueces, diputados, 
magistrados y funcionarios que conspiraron para perpetrar el golpe de 
Estado o que contribuyeron desde sus posiciones para criminalizar a los 
opositores al golpe de Estado.

 

El crimen de persecuci?n pol?tica como ha se?alado la Federaci?n 
Internacional de Derechos Humanos (FIDH) y la Corte Penal internacional 
se est? acrecentando en el pa?s y podr?a tener consecuencias funestas 
para el futuro de la naci?n, en el contexto de aquellas naciones que 
demandan el respeto a los derechos humanos.

 

Los asesinos del pasado, han vuelto desde el oscuro manto de la 
impunidad, para continuar acechando, persiguiendo, secuestrando, 
torturando y asesinando a dirigentes sociales identificados con la 
resistencia.

 

La intolerancia, la violencia, la represi?n, la fuerza bruta y la 
censura califican perfectamente a la dictadura 
pol?tica-militar-empresarial que ha focalizado sus ataques contra el 
magisterio, gran aglutinador social y punta de lanza para las 
reivindicaciones populares, as? como a dirigentes y dirigentas del 
movimiento social hondure?o.

 

Esta semana los profesores Milton Bardales presidente del Colegio 
Profesional Uni?n Magisterial de Honduras (Coprumh), Ciriaco N??ez, Omar 
Fajardo y Martin Contreras fueron v?ctimas de sendos allanamientos 
ejecutados en sus casas de habitaci?n localizadas en Olanchito, Yoro, 
por un comando de efectivos policiales y militares, que buscaban armas y 
propaganda en las que se llama al pueblo a no votar.

 

Estas denuncias refuerzan nuestra lectura de lo que realmente est? 
ocurriendo en el pa?s y es que existe un ambiente de zozobra que 
preocupa, de p?nico que inmoviliza y de c?lera por impotencia, de una 
ciudadan?a que est? siendo reprimida por condenar el golpe de estado y 
rechazar el proceso electoral espurio.

La petici?n de los seguidores del ex presidente Manuel Zelaya llega en 
momentos que m?s pa?ses se suman al respaldo de los comicios generales.

  Honduras.
El denominado Frente Nacional de Resistencia pidi?
suspender las elecciones del pr?ximo domingo, en un documento que fue 
entregado este viernes ante
el Tribunal Supremo Electoral por el dirigente Rafael Alegr?a.

"Exigimos al Tribunal Supremo Electoral que se suspenda la realizaci?n 
del proceso electoral convocado para el 29 de noviembre hasta el momento 
que sea restituido el orden constitucional y se garantice la seguridad y 
libertad de las personas", dice el comunicado de cinco puntos.

"Denunciamos que el r?gimen de facto ha convocado a un proceso electoral 
esp?reo que violenta elementos consignados en la carta democr?tica 
interamericana que forman parte del derecho interno de cada pa?s 
suscrito. La carta establece en su art?culo 4 componentes fundamentales 
como la transparencia en las actividades gubernamentales, la probidad y 
la responsabilidad de los gobiernos en la gesti?n p?blica y la libertad 
de expresi?n y prensa", dice el comunicado.

La resistencia denunci? que el proceso electoral convocado para este 
domingo 29 de noviembre "es ileg?timo porque no es reconocido por la 
mayor?a del pueblo hondure?o, por las organizaciones populares y por una 
gran cantidad de instituciones pol?ticas y personas que ya han 
renunciado a participar por considerar que la farsa electoral sigue como 
objetivo validar el golpe de Estado y darle continuidad a la oligarqu?a 
explotadora".

El documento establece asimismo que los "falsos" comicios no re?nen los 
requisitos de libertad electoral, opini?n, prensa y asociaci?n.

"Son muchos los casos de cierres de medios de comunicaci?n, tortura, 
asesinato y otras violaciones de derechos humanos que han sido 
constatadas y documentadas por organizaciones nacionales e 
internacionales", sostiene el comunicado.

"En vista de la situaci?n de represi?n que vive el pueblo hondure?o se 
hace imposible la realizaci?n de elecciones libres, con igualdad y equidad".

La resistencia hizo un llamado a los gobiernos extranjeros "a mantener 
la presi?n pol?tica para derrotar la dictadura militar pol?tica" y a 
desconocer el resultado de los comicios en caso de que no sean 
suspendidos como ellos solicitan.

La petici?n de los seguidores del ex presidente Manuel Zelaya llega en 
momentos que m?s pa?ses se suman al respaldo de los comicios generales.

El presidente de Costa Rica Oscar Arias dijo en entrevista con la cadena 
estadounidense CNN que reconocer? al ganador de las elecciones 
<http://www.elheraldo.hn/Especiales/Elecciones%20Generales%202009%20del%2001%20de%20octubre%20de%202009/Ediciones/2009/11/27/Noticias/Costa-Rica-reconocera-las-elecciones> 
en Honduras y anim? a otros pa?ses a hacerlo.

of Honduras <http://www.copinh.org/> in response to the latest events
characterized by the electoral farce set up by the de facto regime, makes
known the following:

1. We once again denounce that the de facto regime has deepened the
repression against the Honduran people in order to guarantee a spurious
electoral process that isn't recognized by most of the national and
international community.

2.- We demand the immediate freedom of the sisters and brothers who have
been captured by the coup regime.

3.- We demand an immediate halting of the crimes against Hondurans for
struggling for the restitution of the constitutional order and of the
constitutional president of the republic Manuel Zelaya Rosales.

4.- We announce the great defeat of the electoral farce with the rejection
of the population that has decided to abstain from voting, which will
demonstrate once again the capacity and strength of the resistance against
the coup d'etat. The results will be that the great majority will abstain
from the electoral fraud.

5. We warn that from this farce will emerge a regime to administrate a
political, economic and social crisis that will be unable to sustain itself
in the face of the just demands of the people organized in the National
Front of Popular Resistance.
<http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1FV2f88KeOE/SxGJl1ABr4I/AAAAAAAAAUc/UcCqGWRRqig/s1600/Picture+11.jpg>This
regime will be isolated internationally from the democratic countries and
peoples of the world.

6.- We condemn the government of the United
States<http://www.creative-i.info/?p=8559b>and its puppets who, by
recognizing the electoral farce, demonstrate once
again their participation in the planning, financing and execution of the
coup d'etat <http://www.creative-i.info/?p=8559b>, threatening to extend it
to the rest of the peoples of the world.

7.- We salute the brave and honorable attitude of the people who have
withdrawn their participation from this electoral farce.

8.- We call to the peoples of the world to deepen the solidarity with the
Honduran people, and to be alert to what happens given the repressive
attitude of the military dictatorship.

The emancipation of our people will not be detained. Nobody is giving up
here.

With the ancestral force of Lempira, Mota, Iselaca and Etempica we raise our
voices full of justice, dignity, freedom and peace.

1. Condenamos, nuevamente, al r?gimen de facto que ha profundizado la
represi?n contra el pueblo hondure?o so pretexto de garantizar un proceso
electoral espurio, que no es reconocido por gran parte de la comunidad
nacional e internacional.

2.- Exigimos la libertad inmediata de los compa?eros y compa?eras que han

3.- Demandamos el cese inmediato de los cr?menes contra hondure?os y
hondure?as por hecho de luchar por la restituci?n del orden constitucional y
del presidente constitucional de la rep?blica Manuel Zelaya Rosales.

4.- Anunciamos la gran derrota de la farsa electoral con el rechazo de la
poblaci?n que ha dispuesto abstenerse de votar, con lo que quedar?
evidenciado una vez m?s la capacidad y fuerza de la resistencia contra el
golpe de estado. Los resultados ser?n que el mayor porcentaje, se lo llevar?

5. Advertimos que de esta farsa saldr? un r?gimen administrador de una
crisis pol?tica, econ?mica, social incapaz de sostenerse ante los justos
reclamos de un pueblo organizado en el Frente Nacional de Resistencia
Popular. Este r?gimen se ver? enfrentado al aislamiento internacional de los
pa?ses democr?ticos y los pueblos del mundo.

6.- Condenamos al gobierno de los Estados Unidos y a sus t?teres quienes, al
reconocer la farsa electoral, demuestran una vez m?s su participaci?n en la
planificaci?n, financiamiento y ejecuci?n del golpe de estado, amenazando a
los pueblos del mundo con extender el mismo.

7.- Saludamos la actitud honrada y valiente de las personas que han retirado
su participaci?n de esta farsa electoral.

8.- Hacemos un llamado a los pueblos del mundo a profundizar la solidaridad
con el pueblo hondure?o, as? como a mantenerse pendientes de los
acontecimientos en vista de la actitud represiva de la dictadura militar. La
emancipaci?n de nuestro pueblo no se detiene. Aqu? nadie se rinde.

Con la fuerza ancestral de Lempira, Mota, Iselaca y Etempica se levantan
nuestras voces llenas de vida justicia dignidad libertad y paz.

Dado en La Esperanza Intibuc? a los 27 d?as del mes de noviembre del 2,009

Estimados compas,

La prensa golpista publica y despotrica con toda holgura. Y las opiniones de los lectores son en su mayora a favor de los golpistas. Aventure en presentar mi opinion antigolpista en uno de esos comentarios, el mio es el #14 -- vean como responden los reaccionarios.

En la lucha,

Sergio Reyes, esa resistencia ya no resiste nada, y ahora que ya no les dan los 500 diarios, porque solo sirvi? para hacer rico a Barahona, Alegria, Silvia Ayala, Carlos H Reyes y otros vividores de ese estilo, Zelaya no tiene delitos, su unico pecado es ser golpeador de mujeres, ladron, drogo, narco, ignorante, cabeza hueca, tonto, corrupto, enga?a pencos como la resistencia, y bigote de foca

El unico crimen del Presidente Zelaya fue haber empezado a tomar partido por los pobres de Honduras siendo el mismo miembro de la clase de los explotadores de los trabajadores. Eso no se lo perdonan los privilegiados del pais. Con todas las injusticias han despertado al gigante hasta aqui dominado: los pobres del campo y la ciudad. Viva la Resistencia!

We just received a call from members of the Popular Resistance Front in 
Tocoa, in the department of Colon who are reporting mass millitary and 
police presence in a community called GUADALUPE CARNEY. This is a 
community that experienced repression in August, an organized campesino, 
peasant community that have been threatened since the police arrived to 
have their homes raided. This is just one of several raids that have 
occured today, among the homes of youth and students and a campesino 
organization that were raided, all earlier tody, on the eve of the 
so-called Honduran elections.


    Police and Military Raid COMAL -- alternative marketing network of
    peasant, women's organizations.

  Sat, 11/28/2009 - 10:32pm |
At 1:40pm today heavily armed members of the national police and 
military raided COMAL (Alternative Community Marketing Network) in 
Siguatepeque, in Comayagua. COMAL is a newtork of 42 small-scale peasant 
and women's organizations from throughout Honduras.  /QC delegation 
members arrived at COMAL while the raid was still underway -- PHOTOS 
coming soon. /

Security forces broke down the doors of COMAL with their guns and 
ransacked the main office in Siguatepeque. The military seized 4 
computers, digital cameras, banners, documents, files, human rights 
reports that COMAL presented to the Inter American Human Rights 
Commission, accounting records and literature about the current 
political crisis and the non-violent resistance movement.

Military and police also raided COMAL's training center, the School for 
Economic Solidarity, breaking down doors and handcuffing the guard who 
was threatened with 10 years in jail if he did not confirm that 
seditious acts were being committed on site.  Computers, the internet 
system and furniture was destroyed in the search for "subversive 
material." The raid continued until after 5:30 pm.

According to Miguel Alonzo de Red Comal, a Public Ministry official 
arrived two hours after the raid to present a warrant, stating that the 
electoral law prohibited the dissemination of the materials that had 
been seized from the offices of COMAL. 

 Quixote Center delegation members arrived at COMAL with human rights 
defenders from COFADEH while the raid was still in progress. Photos will 
be posted asap. COMAL is preparing a full report on the raid for human 
rights organizations,

**Quioxte Center Delegation of Honduras Human Rights Observers*
Day 3--November 27
By Larry Kuehn
 
We arrived in Tocoa after a 10-hour bus trip from Tegucigalpa.  Tocoa is 
the end of the bus line.  Beyond here is the Mosquito Coast, an area of 
the country without road connections to the rest of Honduras.

We were met at the bus station by Amelia Castro.  She had arranged our 
hotel and a ride with a taxi driver who is a supporter of the 
resistance.  The daily radio show from the resistance was playing as he 
drove us to the hotel.

When we gathered after checking in, Amelia said she would like to know 
more about us.  She had been called at the last minute by a friend who 
was supposed to meet with us.  However, the woman had left town, going 
to ground because of fears of what was going to happen to her.  This 
became a theme for everyone from the resistance we talked with after that.

After we told her about ourselves, Amelia seemed much more comfortable 
with us.  She told us that this area is the least peaceful place in 
Honduras and that it was necessary to be cautious.

This region is far from the media and things can happen without them 
every being reported.  It is important to have the word of the situation 
spread both to the national and international media and she hoped that 
we would be able to do that.

She told us that security is a problem all the time.  It is a drug 
traffic corridor because of the sea being close. It is a transfer place 
from Colombia and has also made drugs very available to create users 
here.  Some of the politicians are financed by drug dealers, she is 
convinced.

The focus of the resistance here has been on the "fourth ballot."  This 
is shorthand for wanting a constituent assembly to produce a new 
constitution.  It is the fourth ballot because currently the system has 
three ballots--for president, for deputy and for the city mayor. 
 Ballots go in the appropriate box for that office.  This demand would 
have another ballot that would be, in essence, a referendum on whether 
there should be a new constitution.

The resistance in this area is very strong in seeing that this the 
objective, and that it will continue as the key objective whatever the 
outcome of the election or what happens with President Zelaya.  

The mayors in this region had been outspoken in support of the 
resistance. However, when a decision was made that candidates supporting 
the resistance should drop out, that did not happen.  Elsewhere in the 
country, candidates from many parties are withdrawing, but the mayor of 
Tocoa decided to stay in the race.

Mayor Adam Fundes has been one of the national coordinators of the 
resistance.  Now he has gone to the Liberal party asking to be taken 
back and apologized for supporting the resistance. Amelia said this was 
big news, being reported in the national press and CCN Espanol, claiming 
that this was a significant break of the resistance.

She told us that this has not discouraged the resistance, but has ruined 
his reputation.  He had political influence beyond the region and a 
possible national position.  The only good thing to come from this, she 
said, was taking the blinders off to see where people really stand.

Amelia described the local area as diverse both in population and 
organizations.  A portion of the population are African-Hondurans, 
descended from Africans being brought over to be slaves on the Caribbean 
islands, but whose ships were destroyed and they landed on the east 
coast of Central America.  A significant black population lives on the 
coast of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as well as Honduras.  Several 
indigenous groups live here, as well as those from Spanish background. 
 The campesinos in the rural areas are particularly well organized and 
that is the most likely place for violent repression.

A climate of fear has been created.  The military are showing up at the 
homes of activists in the resistance and sometimes searching the house. 
 They believe that there are undercover people infiltrating.  Across 
from the bus station where we arrived, she pointed out satellite 
equipment that had not been there before.

Amelia said that people had been watching her house and that a number of 
vehicles have shown up in town without license plates. The speculation 
is they may be paramilitary mercenaries who have been brought in from 
Colombia--people with experience in killing and disappearances.

In addition to possible repression of resistance supporters, the 
partisan competition between the National Party and the Liberal Party, 
the largest political parties, could set off conflict as well.

Amelia herself was planning to find someplace to be away from her home 
on Sunday, as will many of the activists in the resistance.

When we asked her why she was involved in the resistance, she told us 
that she was acting as a citizen who believes in a better Honduras.

Before leaving us, she made arrangements for two resistance leaders to 
talk to us the next day and to make decisions about what we would be 
doing on Sunday.  And she told us where to find places to eat where the 
 people running the restaurants are sympathetic to the resistance.


    Reflections from QC Delegation - by Lisa Sullivan/SOAW

<http://quixote.org/reflections-qc-delegation-lisa-sullivansoa> 
<http://quixote.org/node/6519/devel/render>
  Fri, 11/27/2009 - 11:26pm 

I?m here with the Quixote Center delegation that has gathered 19 
fabulous folks from around the US and Canada. Yesterday we met with many 
key leaders of the resistance movement - their leader Carlos H Reyes, 
lawyers, teachers, feminists and journalists. It was a crash course in 
what life and resistance for 5 months under a repressive regime looks 
like. We squeezed in back-to-back meetings from morning to night, before 
the leaders set off for their places of hiding for the upcoming ?"event" 
on Sunday, refusing to use the word "elections".

The face and body of Carlos H. spoke as clearly as his words. The last 
time I saw him, just days after the coup, we were marching on the 
streets of Tegucigalpa, in the company of thousands. He was vibrant, 
energetic, robust and hopeful. Yesterday his face was drawn and his 
right hand limp, broken in an encounter with police. But his words were 
intact. In spite of the repression, the loss of lives, the months on the 
street, the threats, the dismal position of the U.S., he was clear that 
this journey  that the Honduran people have embarked upon - towards a 
Constitutional Assembly,  is unstoppable.

This morning I awoke to a call from Bertha Oliva, who seems to never 
sleep. A leader of one of the feminist resistance groups had been 
detained last night, and could I please try to find a way to visit her. 
A few hours later a sympathetic jail worker whisked me in while the 
obstinant police took a break. I made to the back of a crumbing city 
jail, past through stench and cold cement walls to the cell that held 
Merly Eguigure. She reached out through the bars with a smile that 
contrasted with her red eyes. Without knowing me, she held on tightly, 
and kept holding on as I told her that the streets were filled with 
women from her group who were refusing to budge. Her crime: a can of 
spray paint in her car, her charge: damage against government property, 
even though the spray paint was yet untouched.

It seems to be an effort to silence the only space left for the Honduran 
people. The walls. Among the hundreds of graffiti that cover every bare 
wall in town, yesterday I read this one: "las paredes son los medios del 
pueblo". The walls are the media of the people.  Given that the only tv 
and radio stations who have publically opposed the coup have been 
constantly shut down and damaged, a can of spray paint is a powerful 
form of expression.

Yesterday, we gathered with Bertha at the office of COFADEH. The many 
meetings I have previously had with Bertha took place upstairs, 
surrounded by photos of those who disappeared during the military 
dictatorships of the 1980?s. This time we were downstairs, surrounded by 
large posters of some of those who had been recently murdered by the 
coup regime.  Someone in the delegation asked Bertha to describe one of 
the victims, what had happened. She told us about Isis Obed Murillo, 19 
years old. He was killed when hundreds of thousands of Honduras gathered 
at the airport to receive President Zelaya,and the army turned their 
guns on the crowd.  But Bertha couldn?t stop at the story of Isis, and 
went from photo to photo, and story to story, as though it were a 
gallery of family photos. She suddenly stopped, and said, almost to 
herself:. "You know what?s strange", she said. " We need a whole new 
room just to display these photos".

As she ended her conversation, she turned a moment to the group and 
said, "if you really want to help, you can do something. There are 
hundreds of resistance leaders who fear for their lives. If each group 
took some of their names and made them public and shared their concern 
for their lives, maybe, it might prevent another tragedy.

Less than a week ago I processed with Bertha at the gates of Ft. 
Benning. When the name of her disappeared husband Tom?s was called out, 
she almost crumpled. But just for a moment, and then she continued 
forward. I thought about the energy we put into remembering these lost 
lives, and wondered for a minute how we could put that energy into 
preventing more names to be read out. It?s not an easy question. I don?t 
really have the answer.

Best to all, abrazos, Lisa

three ballots--for president, for deputy and for the city mayor. 
 Ballots go in the appropriate box for that office.  This demand would 
have another ballot that would be, in essence, a referendum on whether 
there should be a new constitution.
 
The resistance in this area is very strong in seeing that this the 
objective, and that it will continue as the key objective whatever the 
outcome of the election or what happens with President Zelaya.  
 
The mayors in this region had been outspoken in support of the 
resistance. However, when a decision was made that candidates supporting 
the resistance should drop out, that did not happen.  Elsewhere in the 
country, candidates from many parties are withdrawing, but the mayor of 
Tocoa decided to stay in the race.
 
Mayor Adam Fundes has been one of the national coordinators of the 
resistance.  Now he has gone to the Liberal party asking to be taken 
back and apologized for supporting the resistance. Amelia said this was 
big news, being reported in the national press and CCN Espanol, claiming 
that this was a significant break of the resistance.
 
She told us that this has not discouraged the resistance, but has ruined 
his reputation.  He had political influence beyond the region and a 
possible national position.  The only good thing to come from this, she 
said, was taking the blinders off to see where people really stand.
 
Amelia described the local area as diverse both in population and 
organizations.  A portion of the population are African-Hondurans, 
descended from Africans being brought over to be slaves on the Caribbean 
islands, but whose ships were destroyed and they landed on the east 
coast of Central America.  A significant black population lives on the 
coast of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as well as Honduras.  Several 
indigenous groups live here, as well as those from Spanish background. 
 The campesinos in the rural areas are particularly well organized and 
that is the most likely place for violent repression.
 
A climate of fear has been created.  The military are showing up at the 
homes of activists in the resistance and sometimes searching the house. 
 They believe that there are undercover people infiltrating.  Across 
from the bus station where we arrived, she pointed out satellite 
equipment that had not been there before.
 
Amelia said that people had been watching her house and that a number of 
vehicles have shown up in town without license plates. The speculation 
is they may be paramilitary mercenaries who have been brought in from 
Colombia--people with experience in killing and disappearances.
 
In addition to possible repression of resistance supporters, the 
partisan competition between the National Party and the Liberal Party, 
the largest political parties, could set off conflict as well.
 
Amelia herself was planning to find someplace to be away from her home 
on Sunday, as will many of the activists in the resistance.
 
When we asked her why she was involved in the resistance, she told us 
that she was acting as a citizen who believes in a better Honduras.
 
Before leaving us, she made arrangements for two resistance leaders to 
talk to us the next day and to make decisions about what we would be 
doing on Sunday.  And she told us where to find places to eat where the 
 people running the restaurants are sympathetic to the resistance.


    QC Election Delegation reports bomb explosion on bus route

<http://quixote.org/qc-election-delegation-reports-bomb-explosion-bus-route> 
<http://quixote.org/node/6517/devel/render>
  Fri, 11/27/2009 - 2:41pm | 
Nov. 26, 2009 - A bomb exploded on a Catisa bus route between San Pedro 
Sula and La Ceiba at approximately 3:30pm today. The explosion occurred 
on a nearly empty bus right in front of the fire department. Fire 
fighters were able to respond immediately and report that the explosion 
was the result of a small bomb found in the luggage compartment of the 
bus. Fire fighters also report that a second bomb was also found in the 
luggage compartment that did not explode.  One woman is being treated 
for injuries in La Ceiba. The coup regime is attributing the explosion 
to "delinquents of the resistance." The resistance movement in Honduras 
is an explicitly non-violent movement.  There is concern that these type 
of actions are being staged by actors interested in creating a sense of 
panic and launching false accusations against the non-violent resistance 
movement as part of a large pattern of demonization of those opposed to 
the coup.

*COMUNICADO No.  38*

1.  Denunciamos que horas antes de la farsa electoral de la dictadura 
militar, sus cuerpos represivos han emprendido una feroz persecuci?n 
contra organizaciones populares que se han manifestado opuestas al Golpe 
de Estado. Ejemplos de ello son el allanamiento y destrozo de la sede de 
la Red Comal en Siguatepeque; el cerco militar y el amedrentamiento con 
armas de fuego contra la sede del STIBYS en Tegucigalpa; el cerco 
militar contra la comunidad Guadalupe Carney en Sil?n, Col?n, y contra 
la Colonia La Paz, en La Lima, Cort?s; y la militarizaci?n del centro 
INESCO del padre Fausto Milla en Cop?n. De igual manera, nos llama a 
preocupaci?n el atentado que sufri? el Centro de Derechos de Mujeres de 
San Pedro Sula, con una bomba.

Asimismo, la acci?n represiva ha reca?do sobre miembros(as) activos(as) 
de la Resistencia Popular en la v?spera de las votaciones, como sucede 
con la persecuci?n que se ha desatado contra dirigentes de la 
Resistencia en la Colonia Kennedy y El Reparto, de Tegucigalpa; en 
Gualala, Santa Barbara; en San Pedro Sula, Cort?s; y la captura de la 
dirigente feminista Merlyn Eguigure, en Tegucigalpa, liberada tras la 
presi?n hecha por sus compa?eras del Movimiento Visitaci?n Padilla.

Tambi?n han sido allanados el centro de trabajo del dirigente del 
Partido Unificaci?n Democr?tica, Gregorio Baca, de donde se llevaron 
detenido a su vigilante Humberto Castillo (discapacitado), y el 
allanamiento de la casa de la hermana de la periodista Percy Dur?n, de 
Radio Am?rica. Para rematar, el se?or Fabricio Salgado Hern?ndez, de la 
colonia Tiloarque, est? en estado cr?tico tras ser baleado por militares 
que custodian el Edificio del Estado Mayor, pues el herido tuvo un 
accidente por los obst?culos que los militares han colocado.

2.  Esta violencia muestra el estado de indefensi?n en que se encuentra 
el Pueblo Hondure?o ante las huestes represivas del gobierno de facto. 
Retrata tambi?n el *clima de persecuci?n *en que se realiza el circo 
electoral que inicia el d?a de hoy. Por ello, el Frente Nacional de 
Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado reitera que no existen condiciones 
para la realizaci?n de elecciones limpias y seguras, y que el 
empecinamiento de este desgobierno en realizarlas solo obedece a su 
urgencia ?lavarle? la cara al relevo de golpistas que surgir? de las 
mismas.

3.  Alertamos al Pueblo Hondure?o y a la comunidad internacional, sobre 
la eventualidad de que esta escalada represiva se incremente en las 
pr?ximas horas teniendo como marco justificativo la ola de atentados que 
en forma sospechosa se realizan contra buses, escuelas y edificios 
p?blicos, cuya autor?a la Polic?a Nacional atribuye en forma casi 
autom?tica, irresponsable y tendenciosa a la Resistencia Popular.

4.  Por tal motivo el Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de 
Estado reiteramos que nuestra lucha es PACIFICA y ratificamos nuestro 
llamado al Pueblo Hondure?o para que no participe de la farsa electoral 
montada por la oligarqu?a el dia de hoy. A la vez que desmentimos 
cualquier mensaje con el cual se pretenda crear confusi?n, dici?ndole al 
Pueblo que la Resistencia llama a votar.

*?RESISTIMOS Y VENCEREMOS!***

Dado en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa, M.D.C. 28 de noviembre de 2009

*TeleSUR _ Hace: 01 hora*
El presidente constitucional de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, declar? a teleSUR
que seg?n las actas  y la informaci?n que maneja  la abstenci?n del proceso
electoral de este domingo alcanz? el 75 por ciento, por lo que estima que
dada esta falta de legitimidad los comicios deben anularse.

"Hab?amos avizorado que si la abstenci?n superaba el 50 por ciento del
padr?n electoral las elecciones deb?an anularse", dijo Zelaya en exclusiva a
teleSUR una vez cerradas las mesas del proceso comicial promovido por el
gobierno de facto y que ha sido catalogado como fraudulento.

Inform? Zelaya que la abstenci?n super? el 65 y en algunas regiones el 75
por ciento."Una elecci?n as? no representa el sistema democr?tico al que
nosotros los latinoamericanos y  hondure?os aspiramos", dijo.

Sobre esta jornada marcada por la violencia y la abstenci?n, el presidente
constitucional de Honduras acot? que "los golpistas hablan de que la
abstenci?n fue de 30 por ciento pero la realidad es otra".

Detall? que "nosotros tenemos mil 400 centros electorales monitoreados y
contamos con las actas y el n?mero de votantes. Hemos podido revisar cuantas
personas asistieron a las urnas y tenemos los datos suficientes para decir
que la dictadura est? mintiendo".

"Aqu? la gente no asisti? a las urnas como se?al de protesta ante esta
dictadura, por lo tanto estas elecciones deber?n ser anuladas y deber?n ser
reprogramadas cuando en Honduras retorne el Estado de Derecho", dijo.

*Le hizo un llamado al gobierno de Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) a que rectifique
en su posici?n sobre Honduras, pues con su apoyo a las elecciones de este
domingo organizadas por el gobierno de facto, ha incitado al pueblo a
cometer delitos electorales.*

"Estados Unidos que rectifique su posici?n (...) ha venido a hacer que los
hondure?os cometan delitos de fraude electoral", dijo y resalt? que este es
el primer golpe de Estado en la regi?n en el que la "misma dictadura se
vuelve en el juez ejecutor de las elecciones".

Invit? a las m?s altas instituciones internacionales, como la Organizaci?n
de Naciones Unidas (ONU) y los tribunales penales, a tomar cartas sobre lo
que est? ocurriendo en Honduras.

"Sigo luchado hasta la derrota final", a?adi? el mandatario leg?timo.

 Frente Nacional de Resistencia Popular Contra el Golpe de Estado
DENUNCIA EL FRACASO DE LA FARSA ELECTORAL

Con plena satisfacci?n anunciamos al Pueblo hondure?o y a la comunidad
internacional que la farsa electoral montada por la dictadura ha sido
contundentemente derrotada debido a la raqu?tica afluencia de votantes a las
urnas, a tal grado que el Tribunal Electoral golpista tuvo que prorrogar una
hora m?s la votaci?n hasta las 5 p.m.

Lo que est? a la vista no quiere anteojos. El monitoreo que nuestra
organizaci?n hizo a nivel nacional, nos arroja que el nivel de
abstencionismo es como m?nimo del 65 al 70%, el m?s alto en la historia
nacional, lo que implica que apenas vot? un m?ximo del 30 al 35% del
electorado. En esta forma el pueblo hondure?o ha castigado a los candidatos
golpistas y a la dictadura, quienes ahora est?n en el aprieto de c?mo
mostrar ante la opini?n p?blica internacional un volumen de votantes que no
existi?. Denunciamos que para eso han recurrido a maniobras fraudulentas
como el ingreso de salvadore?os, afines del Partido ARENA, tra?dos para
votar a nuestro pa?s, tal como fue denunciado por los campesinos en el
municipio de Magdalena, Intibuc?. Y debemos esperar que intenten incrementar
el volumen electoral mediante la manipulaci?n electr?nica.

La desesperaci?n del r?gimen de facto es tal que ha reprimido brutalmente la
manifestaci?n pac?fica que se realiz? en la ciudad de San Pedro Sula, en la
cual resultaron varios compa?eros heridos, golpeados y detenidos; y se
reporta un desaparecido. Entre los heridos se informa de un reportero de
REUTER y se reporta la detenci?n de dos religiosos del Consejo
Latinoamericano de Iglesias que hac?an labor de observaci?n en derechos
humanos.

Considerando que este resultado representa una gran victoria del pueblo
hondure?o, el Frente nacional de Resistencia invita a todo el pueblo
hondure?o en resistencia a celebrar el d?a de ma?ana la derrota de la
dictadura.

Se convoca en Tegucigalpa a una Gran Asamblea el d?a de ma?ana lunes 30 de
noviembre a partir de las 12 del medio en la sede del STYBIS y a la gran
Caravana de la Victoria contra la Farsa Electoral a partir de las 3 p.m.

contundentemente derrotada debido a la raqu?tica afluencia de votantes a las
urnas, a tal grado que el Tribunal Electoral golpista tuvo que prorrogar una
hora m?s la votaci?n hasta las 5 pm With satisfaction we announce to the
Honduran people and the international community that the electoral farce
staged by the dictatorship has been soundly defeated due to the meager
turnout at the polls, to the extent that the Electoral Court coup had to
extend voting for another hour until 5 pm

Lo que est? a la vista no quiere anteojos. What is visible does not want

30 al 35% del electorado. Monitoring our national organization made, gives
us the level of abstention is at least 65 to 70%, the highest in the
nation's history, which means that just voted for a maximum of 30 to 35% of
the electorate. En esta forma el pueblo hondure?o ha castigado a los
candidatos golpistas ya la dictadura, quienes ahora est?n en el aprieto de
c?mo mostrar ante la opini?n p?blica internacional un volumen de votantes

coup and dictatorship, who are now in the conundrum of how to display before
the international public a volume of voters that did not exist. Denunciamos
que para eso han recurrido a maniobras fraudulentas como el ingreso de
salvadore?os, afines del Partido ARENA, tra?dos para votar a nuestro pa?s,
tal como fue denunciado por los campesinos en el municipio de Magdalena,
Intibuc?. We denounce that it had resorted to fraudulent practices such as
income Salvadorans related ARENA Party, brought to vote in our country, as
reported by farmers in the town of Magdalena, Intibuc?. Y debemos esperar
que intenten incrementar el volumen electoral mediante la manipulaci?n
electr?nica. And we expect that attempt to increase the volume by
manipulating electronic voting.

La desesperaci?n del r?gimen de facto es tal que ha reprimido brutalmente la
manifestaci?n pac?fica que se realiz? en la ciudad de San Pedro Sula, en la
cual resultaron varios compa?eros heridos, golpeados y detenidos; y se

brutally repressed a peaceful demonstration held in the city of San Pedro
Sula, where several comrades were wounded, beaten and arrested and reported
missing person. Entre los heridos se informa de un reportero de REUTER y se
reporta la detenci?n de dos religiosos del Consejo Latinoamericano de
Iglesias que hac?an labor de observaci?n en derechos humanos. Among the
injured is reported by a reporter from Reuters and reported the arrest of
two priests of the Latin American Council of Churches who did work in human
rights observation.

Considerando que este resultado representa una gran victoria del pueblo

With satisfaction we announce to the Honduran people and the international
community that the electoral farce staged by the dictatorship has been
soundly defeated due to the meager turnout at the polls, to the extent that
the Electoral Court coup had to extend voting for another hour until 5 pm

What is visible does not need glasses to be seen.  The monitoring our
national organization conducted demonstrated the level of abstention is at
least 65 to 70%, the highest in the nation's history, which means that just
voted for a maximum of 30 to 35% of the electorate.

In this way the Honduran people have punished candidates coup and
dictatorship, who are now in the conundrum of how to display before the
international public a volume of voters that did not exist. We denounce that
it had resorted to fraudulent practices such as bringing Salvadorans related
to the ARENA Party,  to vote in our country, as reported by farmers in the
town of Magdalena, Intibuc?.  We expect  attempts to increase the volume of
votes by manipulating electronic voting.

The desperation of the de facto regime caused the brutal repression of a
peaceful demonstration held in the city of San Pedro Sula, where several
comrades were wounded, beaten and arrested.  There is a report of
one missing person. *Among the injured reported is a reporter from REUTERS
and  two priests of the Latin American Council of Churches who were workin
on human rights observation.**
*
Whereas this represents a major victory of the Honduran people, the National
Front of Resistance calls on all the Honduran people in resistance to
celebrate tomorrow- the defeat of the dictatorship.

Tegucigalpa has convened at a Great Assembly tomorrow Monday, November 30 at
12pm at the headquarters of STYBIS and there will be a Caravan of Victory
against the electoral farce beginning at  3 pm leaving Planet Cipango

Subject: [HNA] 1.2 million vote in Honduras out of 4.2 million
Message-ID: <975020.42351.qm@web38901.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

The right-wing pro-coup Honduran newspaper La Prensa has revealed the following information:

At 8:20pm the electoral tribunal registered 1 million 111,694 votes counted; Pepe Lobo (National Party) obtained 620,304 votes; Elvin Santos (Liberal Party) 422,535 votes.
The report delivered by the Resistance then is corroborated by this information and the majority of the Hondurans in spite of the repression didn't participate on these electoral farce.

Hondurenos de Los Angeles dijeron NO a la farsa electoral en Honduras
 Credito: RM
Los ?ngeles, CA. Noviembre 30. En la ciudad de Los ?ngeles, Estados Unidos
residen aproximadamente cerca de 100 mil hondure?os, de los cuales 3,200
est?n inscritos en el padr?n electoral, de estos solamente cerca de 400
acudieron a votar en la escuela secundaria Evans donde se realizaron las
elecciones ayer Domingo 29 de Noviembre.

Estos n?meros muestran que la mayor?a de los Hondure?os en Los ?ngeles se
abstuvieron de votar, respondiendo as? al llamado a la abstenci?n que
hiciera el frente de Resistencia Hondure?a en Los ?ngeles, junto a los
comit?s de bases del Frente Farabundo Mart? para la Liberaci?n Nacional
(FMLN), el Frente Sandinista para la Liberaci?n Nacional (FSLN), la Alianza
de Trabajadores Inmigrantes Coreanos (KIWA), el Centro Internacional de
Acci?n, Casa el Salvador, grupos en contra de la guerra (ANSWER), Veteranos
por la Paz, el Centro de Recursos Centroamericanos (CARECEN), y la
Asociaci?n Sim?n Bol?var de Los ?ngeles entre otros, quienes dese el golpe
de estado en contra del presidente Manuel Zelaya han venido coordinando
acciones bajo el nombre de la Coalici?n por la Democracia y la Paz en
Honduras .

?Los Hondure?os aqu? en los ?ngeles se han unido a nuestros compatriotas en
resistencia en Honduras y no quisieron ser parte de esta farsa electoral, a
pesar de que los medios como Univisi?n y otros le daban cobertura a los
l?deres de los partidos y organizaciones de derecha en su llamado a los
Hondure?os a que salieran a votar.? Carlos Mej?a coordinador de la
resistencia hondure?a en los ?ngeles, expreso que ?lo que est?n tratando de
hacer en Honduras es blanquear el golpe de estado por medio de un circo
electoral, la salida a esta crisis es la refundaci?n de Honduras por medio
de la elecci?n de un Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, donde tengan cabida
todos los sectores de la sociedad, y que esta Asamblea Nacional redacte una
nueva constituci?n que sea para todos y no solo para los partidos y las
elites que han dominado a mi pa?s en los ?ltimos 30 anos.?

La catedr?tica de la Universidad de Pomona California Suyapa Portillo
resalto ?la hipocres?a de la administraci?n de Obama y exigi? que el
gobierno de Los Estados Unidos no reconozca unas elecciones que se
realizaron en medio de un pa?s militarizado e intimidado? tambi?n reclamo el
silencio criminal de los medios de comunicaci?n internacional ante la
violaci?n de los derechos humanos, la persecuci?n de los miembros de la
resistencia, las violaciones de mujeres etc.

Por su parte Ricardo Moreno, presidente de la Asociaci?n Sim?n Bol?var al
ser cuestionado sobre la participaci?n de venezolanos en el movimiento de
resistencia de los ?ngeles y las acusaciones del intervencionismo del
presidente Ch?vez en Honduras y Am?rica Latina respondi? diciendo. ?Que
aunque creemos en la autodeterminaci?n de los pueblos, y que el caso
Hondure?o lo tienen que resolver los hondure?os, no podemos quedarnos de
manos cruzadas mientras se violentan los derechos humanos y pol?ticos de un
pueblo hermano, debemos internacionalizar la solidaridad de los pueblos de
la misma forma como la derecha trata de internacionalizar los golpes de
estado, de eso en Venezuela ya aprendimos la lecci?n, hoy es Honduras,
ma?ana puede ser Ecuador, Bolivia o el Salvador?, y en cuanto a la
intervenci?n de Ch?vez pregunto: ??qui?nes son los que tienen bases
militares en Honduras y Colombia? La ?nica vez que el ej?rcito Venezolano
sali? de nuestras fronteras fue bajo el mando de Bol?var para liberar a casi
todo un continente?.

Subject: [HNA] EE.UU / OEA no son esperanza para la resistencia honduren~a
Message-ID: <408707.51829.qm@web38904.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Las gestiones de la OEA, que no objeta el papel que los EE.UU. ha jugado en favor de los golpistas, no son confiables. Ahora Insulza habla de negociaciones con Lobo, y Arias ya se saco la careta. Y se fortalece el grupo de los mas derechistas socios de los EE.UU.: Panama, Peru, Colombia. 
Por otro lado, creo que no debemos sacar cuentas alegres que la abstencion significa apoyo activo a la resistencia y al cambio social en Honduras. Si la abstencion hubiese sido mas contundente de lo que fue esta tendria mayor significado politico. 

Ahora lo que se viene es que los EE.UU. apoyaran abiertamente, incluso con "ayuda" de algun tipo al nuevo gobierno, y a lo mejor como en Colombia se gana unas cuantas bases militares mas en Honduras.

EUA elogia elecciones, Colombia y Panam? reconoce nuevo Gobierno
"Colombia reconoce al nuevo Gobierno", se?ala un comunicado de la Presidencia fechado en Estoril (Portugal), donde el presidente ?lvaro Uribe participa en la XIX Cumbre Iberoamericana.

30.11.09 - Updated: 30.11.09 09:58am - EFE: redaccion at laprensa.hn

Washington, Estados Unidos

Colombia anunci? hoy que reconocer? a las autoridades que surjan de las elecciones del domingo en Honduras, mientras EUA las calific? de "paso adelante necesario e importante" y alent? a otros gobiernos a seguir "el rumbo marcado por el pueblo hondure?o".

"Colombia reconoce al nuevo Gobierno", se?ala un comunicado de la Presidencia fechado en Estoril (Portugal), donde el presidente ?lvaro Uribe participa en la XIX Cumbre Iberoamericana.

Bogot? considera que "se ha dado un proceso democr?tico en Honduras de alta participaci?n, sin fraude, inobjetable", y conf?a en que el nuevo Gobierno adopte "todos los esfuerzos para superar definitivamente la situaci?n dif?cil", consolidar plenamente las instituciones democr?ticas y obtener un "acuerdo de m?nima unidad nacional".

El Gobierno de Panam? fue el primero en reconocer el resultado de las elecciones, que estaban convocadas antes del golpe de Estado del 28 de junio y se desarrollaron en aparente normalidad.

Ian Kelly, portavoz del Departamento de Estado de EUA, dijo hoy que "queda mucho trabajo por hacer para restablecer el orden democr?tico y constitucional en Honduras, pero (con las elecciones) el pueblo dio un paso adelante necesario e importante".

A?adi? que "la participaci?n de votantes parece haber excedido la de las ?ltimas elecciones presidenciales", lo que "demuestra que, teniendo la oportunidad de expresarse, el pueblo hondure?o ha visto la elecci?n como una parte importante de la soluci?n a la crisis pol?tica en su pa?s".

Estados Unidos, seg?n el portavoz, sigue dispuesto a cooperar con los hondure?os y alent? a otros gobiernos "a que sigan el rumbo marcado por el pueblo hondure?o en la marcha hacia la reconciliaci?n nacional".

El secretario general de la Organizaci?n de Estados Americanos (OEA), Jos? Miguel Insulza, declar? hoy a una emisora chilena desde Estoril que est? abierto al di?logo con Porfirio Lobos, el virtual ganador de las elecciones hondure?as, "para construir democracia".

En declaraciones a Radio Cooperativa, Insulza manifest? su convicci?n de que las decisiones que adopte Lobo, del conservador Partido Nacional, "ser?n fundamentales para que la comunidad internacional valide el nuevo gobierno".

Tambi?n consider? "muy fundamental" la posici?n del presidente Zelaya, al afirmar que "es un actor central en este proceso, y creo que naturalmente el restablecimiento y reconocimiento de su legitimidad es un asunto muy fundamental".

El Consejo Permanente de la OEA se reunir? el 4 de diciembre para analizar los resultados de las elecciones en Honduras.

La situaci?n en el pa?s centroamericano, sumido en una crisis pol?tica desde el golpe de Estado, es uno de los asuntos que domina los debates de la XIX Cumbre Iberoamericana de Jefes de Estado y de Gobierno en Estoril, que concluye el martes.

Los participantes pretenden acordar una "posici?n concertada" sobre el asunto en la declaraci?n final, aunque hay "dificultades" por la divisi?n en torno a la legitimidad de los comicios, dijo hoy el ministro portugu?s de Exteriores, Luis Amado.

Pa?ses como Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay y Venezuela est?n en contra de legitimar los comicios y exigen antes la restituci?n de Zelaya en el poder.

En su intervenci?n ante el resto de gobernantes iberoamericanos, el jefe del Ejecutivo espa?ol, Jos? Luis Rodr?guez Zapatero, abog? hoy por un "gran acuerdo nacional" en Honduras como ?nico camino para lograr una "paz democr?tica" en ese pa?s.

Tambi?n reclam? "un gran consenso" para que Honduras sepa que la comunidad iberoamericana est? dispuesta a tener "una posici?n constructiva" basada en principios democr?ticos irrenunciables.

El ministro espa?ol de Exteriores, Miguel ?ngel Moratinos, dijo hoy que Espa?a no ignora los comicios en Honduras, al considerar que el vencedor, Porfirio Lobo, "tendr? algo que decir" y ser? "un nuevo actor" en el di?logo con el depuesto Zelaya.

Moratinos expuso tambi?n la intenci?n de que la comunidad respalde la nueva etapa que se abre en Honduras mirando sobre todo "a la necesaria reconciliaci?n nacional" y a la salida definitiva de la crisis.

La Comisi?n Europea se felicit? hoy por el desarrollo "pac?fico y tranquilo, en t?rminos generales", de las elecciones hondure?as, y pidi? a todas las partes que contribuyan a la b?squeda de una soluci?n negociada a la crisis.

"Lo importante ahora es que todas las partes contribuyan a la b?squeda de una soluci?n negociada, que est? basada en el di?logo y la unidad. Eso es lo importante en estos momentos", declar? el portavoz europeo Lutz G?llner.

Tras lamentar que los comicios hondure?os no se hayan celebrado en un "contexto conforme al orden constitucional", el Ministerio de Exteriores de Francia pidi? la "r?pida apertura" de un proceso de reconciliaci?n nacional para dar "plena legitimidad" al futuro Gobierno.

El presidente de Panam?, Ricardo Martinelli, que se encuentra en Estoril, fue el primero en felicitar a Lobo por su victoria en las elecciones, y le invit? a "iniciar un proceso de reconciliaci?n y unificaci?n del pueblo hondure?o, a trav?s de un gobierno de unidad nacional basado en el esp?ritu del Acuerdo Tegucigalpa-San Jos?".

Por el contrario, la prensa oficial de Cuba consider? hoy que las elecciones hondure?as han sido una "farsa" viciada por el abstencionismo, la militarizaci?n, una "brutal represi?n" y la "falta de legitimidad y transparencia".

El Gobierno de Paraguay anunci? hoy que le resulta "imposible" reconocer los resultados de los comicios por "las condiciones en que fueron dadas".

EUA elogia por "ejercicio pac?fico" en elecciones

El Gobierno de Estados Unidos elogi? hoy al pueblo hondure?o "por el ejercicio pac?fico de su derecho democr?tico a elegir a sus gobernantes" en las elecciones celebradas el domingo y expres? su disposici?n a cooperar con todos los hondure?os.

El proceso electoral "comenz? hace m?s de un a?o, mucho antes del golpe de estado del 28 de junio" que depuso al presidente Manuel Zelaya, afirm? el portavoz del Departamento de Estado, Ian Kelly, en un comunicado.

"La participaci?n de votantes parece haber excedido la de las ?ltimas elecciones presidenciales", lo que "demuestra que, teniendo la oportunidad de expresarse, el pueblo hondure?o ha visto la elecci?n como una parte importante de la soluci?n a la crisis pol?tica en su pa?s".

"Seguimos dispuestos a cooperar con todos los hondure?os y alentamos a otros (gobiernos) en las Am?ricas a que sigan el rumbo marcado por el pueblo hondure?o en la marcha hacia la reconciliaci?n nacional", se?al? el portavoz.

Seg?n Kelly, "queda mucho trabajo por hacer para restablecer el orden democr?tico y constitucional en Honduras, pero (con las elecciones) el pueblo dio un paso adelante necesario e importante".

Subject: [HNA] Open Letter to Obama, from Manti@ Migrante
Message-ID: <1d602de70911300938r3ff84b7bj30160cdd0cb3f1aa@mail.gmail.com>

Letter from Manit@ Migrante to President Barack Obama
leader of the mightiest nation on earth
November 29th
Day of the Farce Elections in Honduras
Concerning your complicity in said elections
And your General Designs for our America

Dear President Obama,
Today is a blurry day for those of us with eyes on Central America, mister
president. It?s blurry because we?ve watched herman at s suffering day and
night over the last four months in that small country in the waist of
America, Honduras, and now, after all the blood and toil, you throw salt in
their wounds.
    Though it is a mighty responsibility to take on, I dare say that I?m
writing this evening on behalf of millions of people around the world, yes,
people around the world, but most of all in the countries that form Latin
America. I dare say that I speak for hundreds of millions when I say that we
expected better of you.
    We rejoiced when you declared your opposition to the coup that overthrew
that gentle, mustachioed man, the president of Honduras and your
counterpart, Mel Zelaya. You stated wisely that we could not allow this to
set a precedent for the would-be coup-plotters of the world. Hearing this,
from the mouth of the leader of the country that has overturned 42
goverments in Latin America, was uncanny yet strangely beautiful, like
hearing the Star Spangled Banner from the stratocaster of Jimi Hendrix.
    But it seemed you were alone in your lament for Honduran democracy,
brother president, for every time one of your people mentioned Honduras, it
seemed they were capitulating to the golpistas. In spite of thousands of
documented human rights violations?rapes, targeted assasinations, illegal
detentions, the shutting down of opposition media outlets, curfews, the
suspension of constitutional rights, the maiming of a presidential
candidate?your people said not a word. In spite of the tear-gassing of
peaceful demonstrations, in spite of the use of high-powered water cannons
against non-violent resistors, the same weapons of repression used against
the movement that paved the way for your ascendency to the throne of the
land, your people said nothing. So, Mr. Community Organizer, Mr. Agent of
Change, Mr. Mixed Race Immigrant Halfie Identity?which side are you on? The
side of your roots, the truth, the ideal that brought you to power? Or that
side?s antithesis?
    We knew the Pentagon supported the coup, and we knew the Republicans
supported the coup, and we knew that most Democrats were indifferent at
best. But we had the suspicion, quixotic now it seems to have been, that you
would hold your own against the Jim DeMints of the nation. You?re a swell
guy, Barack, we all know that. So of course you?d side with the underdog!
But when you sent Tommy Shannon to make the final negotiation in
Tegucigalpa, and when it became clear that Zelaya had been duped and would
not be restored to the presidency, and went Shannon assured DeMint that you
would recognize today?s elections in spite of thousands of human rights
violations, and when we heard DeMint say that he would lift his hold on
Shannon?s aspirations to the ambassadorship of Brazil, and when you wrote
the Brazilian president to, among other things, reaffirm your decision to
recognize these farce elections, we realized we were wrong.
    But that wasn?t the worst of it. Your rubber-stamping of the coup in
Honduras has established a new model for the anti-democratic forces of Latin
America?that?s the worst of it. Have you heard of the rumors of a coup in
Paraguay? Have you caught wind of the statements of the ARENA death-squad
party in El Salvador? Did they tell you when your fellow nobel laureate
Rigoberta Menchu warned of a coup in Guatemala? Have they briefed you on the
?separatist movements? in Venezuela and Bolivia and Ecuador? Now these
rumors, which until today have been nothing more than that, become grave
threats to the soverignty of our continent, and it?s because you?ve shown
them that you won?t interfere. Pin that one in your hat!
    We wonder how this bodes for your own future, Mr. President, or if it
bodes at all. Not that you pose any threat to the oligarchs who control this
country, but the cynic in us wishes Beck & Boehner would hijack the four
branches, order them to invade the whitehouse with guns blazing, kidnap you
in your peejays then whisk you off to Newfoundland. Let Murdoch and Cheney
decide your fate. Something tells me you wouldn?t have the gaul to sneak
back into the capital like Zelaya did, a move that your OAS rep
characterized as ?irresponsible and foolish.? This is the same guy, Lewis
Anselem, who would go on to degrade the solidarity of the Latin American
countries with Honduras as ?magical realism,? simultaneously degrading that
great contribution to the history of world literature. Quite frankly, the
implications of that comment outdo anything the Bush folks ever said with
regards to our America.
    Speaking of literature, I wonder if you ever got around to reading
Galeano?s The Open Veins of Latin America, the book Hugo Chavez gave you. I
know you shrugged off the reporters by saying that just because someone
gives you a book doesn?t mean you have to read it. That was quite the witty
remark, but you should keep in mind that this is a book that many of us hold
very dearly to our hearts, as it captures poetically the five-century
exploitation by the western powers of our continent, and the tremendous
resistance our people have expressed. The coup in Honduras is certainly
worthy of an addendum to Galeano?s great work, though I?m afraid you will
end up on the wrong side of the history.
    For many of us this is the coup in Honduras is the coup de grace for our
hopes that you would improve the Latin America policy of the empire. At
first we had hopes,
but failure after failure led us to the biggest failure of all. Let?s
connect the dots:
?    When you were campaigning for the presidency you spoke of the failure
of the Cuban embargo and how you?d put an end to it. But you flopped, and
now you support the embargo, saying that you can use it as ?leverage? to
push democratic reforms on the island. (For all its flaws, let it be known
that Cuba will not bow to such leverage.)
?    Then you quicky appointed Eric Holder as the Attorney General, the very
lawyer who represented Chiquita?s financing of the paramilitaries who
slaughtered thousands in Uraba, the department home to the company?s
plantations.
?    And then you kept silent when several hundred indigenous people were
killed by the Peruvian government. They?d risen up to protest plans to
extract minerals from their ancestral land, in Amazonia, and this plan was
prompted by the US/Peru free trade agreement that you voted for. I recall
your indignation at the death of the brave protestors in Iran, but with the
massacre of Peruvian Indians you didn?t seem to care; this in spite of that
fact that your country is largely responsible.
?    And then your people in the Pentagon introduced plans to build/occupy
seven military bases in Colombia. We were assured that the bases were to
fight terrorists and narcos, but our doubts were confirmed with the release
of an Air Force document explaining that this ?provides a unique opportunity
for full spectrum operations in a critical sub-region of our hemisphere??
Exactly as Chavez had warned, it was admitted in this document that the
bases would allow the US to combat ?anti-US governments? in the region! Did
you know that Colombia has the highest rate of assasinated unionists in the
world? The highest rate of internal displacement outside of Sudan? A state
controlled in large part by paramilitaries, certified terrorists per your
State Department?s own list? Are these things considered when deciding to
send hundreds of millions in military aid to the country with the worst
human rights abuses in the hemisphere?
?    Finally, today, you and Colombia and the extreme right of Latin
America, recognize the farce elections in Honduras.
    As we connect the dots?keeping in mind that your predecessor reactivated
the Navy?s Fourth Fleet and that the full realization of this will take
place under your watch?we being to see the outline of what the empire has in
store for Latin America. Will you recede from Central Asia and the Middle
East and refocus your weapons on the vast resources of the Andes, Amazonia,
and the Orinoco Basin? Are there more coups in store for the progressive
governments of the region? More attempts to fragment the nations trying to
unite in favor of deeper democracy and social justice? Some say Honduras was
the testing ground for a fresh wave of fascism in Latin America, attacking
the ALBA countries at the weakest link. We ask respectfully and in deference
to the Knight?s Code of Chivalry, which has it that you must at all times
speak the truth?Is it so?
    Regardless or whether you?re aware of these shiftings, for us they are
as real as death. Regardless of your seemingly good intentions, with every
handshake, lyrical flourish, and glance of your reigtous eyes you are
tampering with our destiny. Indeed, today a tyranny was vindicated in
Honduras. But lest your handlers become too optimistic, in that other little
Latin American republic that held elections on the same day, one more
leftist was elected to the presidency of Uruguay. Like Manuel Zelaya, Pepe
Mujica has a mustache. But unlike his Honduran counterpart, who was a
wealthy logger before coming to power, el Pepe was a founder of the Tupamaro
guerilla movement. We hope that this sets more of a precedent than your coup
in Honduras, Brother Barack, and we shall fight to the death to ensure this
is so.

En la Resistencia,
Manit@ Migrante

? Se?ala que el evento electoral del d?a 29 de noviembre 2009, se desarroll? en un clima de inestabilidad institucional y con se?alamientos cr?ticos de varios sectores de la sociedad hondure?a, no obstante abre un nuevo momento pol?tico en la b?squeda de alternativas a la crisis pol?tica.

El Gobierno de El Salvador espera que el virtual ganador del evento electoral, exprese su voluntad para iniciar un di?logo pol?tico que permita un acuerdo nacional que ponga fin a la crisis y conlleve a un gobierno de unidad, el reestablecimiento del orden constitucional y la reconciliaci?n en el hermano pa?s.

Este es el desaf?o que tiene por delante el candidato electo para que la comunidad internacional, y de modo especial, nuestro pa?s, podamos normalizar nuestras relaciones con Honduras.

Elections Won't Resolve Political Crisis; Democracy Must Be Restored Before
Free Elections Can Be Held

2) Observers: Peaceful march faces 'brutal repression' in San Pedro Sula

Tegucigalpa, Honduras - About 500 people marching peacefully in the
northwestern city of San Pedro Sula were repressed by tear gas and water
cannons on Election Day today, election observers said.

Tom Loudon, leader of the Quixote Center delegation observing the elections
in San Pedro Sula, told The Nica Times that soldiers deployed on the scene
of the march at around 12:30 p.m., put on gas masks and began attacking the
marchers "unprovoked."

"The crowd just scattered, people went running in every direction, I was one
of those," Loudon said. Speaking over the telephone, Loudon was choking from
the gas and said he was still watching marchers and bystanders run away in
panic from the continued repression. "It's just pure unprovoked brutal
aggression against many people who haven't done anything, people are just
walking down the street," Loudon said.

Juan Barahona, who leads a resistance group critical of the de facto
government and the elections, had told followers not to protest today for
fear of military repression but left it up to local chapters decide.

3) Honduras: Authorities must reveal identities and whereabouts of people
detained today
Press Release, Amnesty International USA, Monday, Novembeer 30, 2009
http://www.amnestyusa.org/document.php?id=ENGPRE200911301429<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nAehzeiU6Pa5ZytGjzYgSKUR1D3WLF1d>

Tegucigalpa - Amnesty International today urged the Honduran authorities to
reveal the identities, whereabouts and charges against all people detained
on the eve and day of the presidential elections.

In one of the most worrying cases, the whereabouts of Jensys Mario Umanzor
Gutierrez remains unknown. He was last seen at 2:30am this morning in the
custody of a Police Patrol whose identification number was recorded by
witnesses.

After finding about the case, the Amnesty International delegation in
Honduras assisted in the filing of an habeas corpus - a legal procedure to
find the whereabouts and well being of someone detained by police - at the
Juzgado Penal Francisco Morazan.

The Supreme Court, amongst several other courts, was closed and noone was
available by phone either to receive the petition. The court should have a
judge or other court appointed official always available to deal with such
urgent matters.

"Filling a petition to find where a detainee has been taken is an almost
impossible task in Honduras ," said Javier Zu?iga, head of the Amnesty
International delegation in Honduras . "The delays and barriers imposed by
the authorities to find even basic information goes to show the extent of
violations taken place in Honduras today, and how vulnerable Honduran
citizens are to abuses by the police and security forces," said Javier
Zu?iga.

7) Coup Security Forces Raid Campesino Organization Day Before the Elections
Laura Carlsen, Americas Policy Program, Nov 28, 2009
http://americasmexico.blogspot.com/2009/11/coup-security-forces-raid-campesino.html<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ToAJH%2BN2I0O%2B29GD9tlVfqUR1D3WLF1d>

Today, heavily armed members of the national police, military and criminal
investigation units under the coup regime raided the Honduran farm
organization COMAL (Alternative Community Marketing Network) in
Siguatepeque, in Comayagua. COMAL is a coalition of 42 small-scale farming
and women's organizations from throughout Honduras.

At 1:40 p.m. about fifty members of the security forces broke into the
offices of COMAL. After breaking down the doors with their guns and
intimidating the employees, they produced a search order a full twenty
minutes later. The offices were ransacked, under an order that stated
authorization to search for weapons and "materials that could threaten
lives".

At 2:30 the raid spread to the training center of the organization. Security
forces confiscated four computers, including the accountant's computer. They
also took educational materials used in community workshops to analyze the
current political situation and publications from the non-violent resistance
movement. The soldiers referred to these materials as "proof" of subversive
activities. Intelligence agents removed a list of all the people who had
attended workshops in the organization and employees. They took the entire
petty cash fund as well.

The offices were left in total disarray, employees were stripped of their
cellphones and held in the offices during the raid. No one had been arrested
at last report. Security forces continued to ransack the offices until 5:20
p.m.

Miguel Alonzo Macias, director of planning and projects for COMAL, stated
that the police and soldiers entered heavily armed and nervous. Among the
information they took from the offices were computer archives containing
photographs of the peaceful marches where members of the organization
demonstrated against the coup, "where they can see the faces of everyone of
us who participated," and testimonies from communities describing violations
of human rights under the coup. The group fears further persecution.

In a phone interview, Macias stated, "What just happened to us is evidence
that basic guarantees of individual human rights and institutional rights do
not exist in Honduras. As a result, the objective conditions in terms of the
personal security for people to be able to vote freely don't exist either."

"It's important for the international community and international human
rights groups to be aware that this is happening and of what kind of
military actions are being carried out. These actions are clearly meant to
intimidate the population that sees things differently than the de facto
regime and that condemns the coup."

11) Leftist Wins Uruguay Presidential Vote
Alexei Barrionuevo, New York Times, November 30, 2009
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/30/world/americas/30uruguay.html<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=tdQDsgwdVF6%2B6PXYrXzsgaUR1D3WLF1d>

Montevideo, Uruguay - Jos? Mujica, a brash former guerrilla fighter, was
elected president of Uruguay on Sunday, further cementing the hold of a
leftist government credited with improving economic conditions in one of
South America's smallest countries.

With more than 90 percent of the vote counted Sunday night, Mr. Mujica, the
candidate of the Broad Front coalition, was leading by about 10 percentage
points in a runoff against Luis Lacalle, a former president running on the
National Party ticket. Mr. Lacalle gave a concession speech on Sunday
evening.

The victory of Mr. Mujica, 74, solidified the control the Broad Front has
assumed over Uruguayan politics since the current president, Tabar? V?zquez,
was elected in 2004. Mr. V?zquez pursued a pragmatic path of reforms with
socialist and market-friendly elements that lowered unemployment and poverty
while generating confidence among investors.

Uruguay's Constitution does not allow for re-election, but Mr. V?zquez's
approval ratings in excess of 60 percent have strengthened the Broad Front,
a polyglot movement that includes Communists and Christian Democrats.
[...]
The Broad Front, a leftist movement, has followed an economic path closer to
those pursued by Brazil, Chile and Peru than to that of Venezuela, Bolivia
and Ecuador, which have chased off foreign investors by nationalizing
industries.

Mr. Mujica campaigned on pledges to be a consensus builder who would
continue the policies of Mr. V?zquez. The race pitted him against Mr.
Lacalle, a neo-liberal who favors privatizing state firms and sought to do
away with the income tax.

Herman at s,
As you know, on December 15th we will be hosting Noam Chomsky to talk about
Honduras. This will be a fundraiser, and we will be seeking the sponsorship
of organizations who can contribute small or large amounts of money. I was
just forwarded the list of potential sponsors, and there are over 1,300 orgs
to contact. It seems like a tremendous amount, but divided amongst a handful
of energetic volunteers we can get it done in no time.

Please email me if you would like to help out with this initiative. It will
entail sending out an email, then making a follow-up phone call later in the
day, or the following day. The Honduran resistance is far from through, and
therefore so is our work!

Thank you kindly!
simon

Dear Kaveri,

Elections took place yesterday, November 29th, in Honduras with National
Party leader Porfirio Lobo declared the winner. But elections carried out

*under a state of emergency
*with visible military and police presence
*by a government installed by a military coup
*with a significant civil society movement opposed to the coup calling for
abstention
*and with the deposed President *still deposed* and holed up in the center
of the capital city in the Brazilian Embassy

are no cause for celebration.
*
If you haven't sent a message to our own U.S. government about Honduras,
click here now!<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bdZRMU%2BqMxfh1Xr%2BbNaV7i37eePfMC2B>
*

With your help, we delivered a strong message to the State Department before
the elections. We and the Washington Office on Latin America sent the State
Department a *joint
memo*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Ze76jjQgEDVB%2BPJSo9Recy37eePfMC2B>about
the lack of conditions for fair elections, and we were backed up by
over 800 messages sent in by activists like you. But the U.S.  government
has chosen to ignore the serious problems with the elections. So, we've
adapted our message and now you can send them a fax telling them what the
next steps should be.

We need to make sure that they can't ignore the restrictions of civil
liberties and human rights violations that marked election day and the
months leading up to it, chronicled
*here*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=54rhl%2B%2FyKsWCuf7x4Hwi7pvHKrHyiZG%2B>by
the Center for Justice and International Law. They need to hear
reports
like this one that the *Quixote
Center*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rEgKCRaB8Zsy8ZAYaNRzIy37eePfMC2B>'s
delegation sent out at 1:30 pm on election day:

"A peaceful march of over 500 people was just culminating at the Central
Park of San Pedro Sula when a large armored tank with high pressure water
cannons mounted on the top pulled up at the rear of the march--along with a
large truck full of military troops. The 500 peaceful, unarmed protesters
turned around to face the tank and troops--and in unison, they sat down in
the middle of the street. The truck retreated 2 blocks. The soldiers got off
the truck, and began to put on gas masks. Everything went silent--and
suddenly the crowd was attacked with water cannons and gas. People are
fleeing. There are wounded and detained."

How can any government even pretend that under these conditions the election
could be fair?

*Click here to tell our government to stick to its principles, and not lift
the sanctions on Honduras until civil liberties and human rights are
respected, violations are investigated, and an inclusive national dialogue
is launched to strengthen Honduran
democracy.*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4LCRk5q7LXAP9l%2BKxxxEfy37eePfMC2B>

If the United States chooses to go ahead with business as usual, it not only
will be going against the majority of nations in the hemisphere, but will
also be sending a message to the whole world that we will quickly trade in
our principles for expediency when it comes to democracy and human rights in
our foreign policy.

Let's make them listen before it is too late.

Best,

The LAWG Team

*Comunicado No. 41*

El Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado, al pueblo 
hondure?o y la comunidad internacional comunica:

 

1.      El fracaso total de la farsa electoral montada por la oligarqu?a 
el 29 de noviembre en condiciones de dictadura, confirma nuestro 
planteamiento de declarar ilegales e ileg?timos las elecciones y sus 
resultados, adem?s refuerza nuestra posici?n de desconocimiento del 
r?gimen que se instale el 27 de enero.

2.      Hacemos un llamado a los gobiernos y movimientos sociales 
democr?ticos y honestos en el mundo a rechazar los resultados de la 
farsa electoral y a desconocer el pretendido gobierno que se instale a 
partir del 27 de enero.

3.      Al haberse realizado un proceso electoral que carece de toda 
legitimidad y legalidad y que pretende garantizar el poder a un sector 
minoritario de la poblaci?n, la instalaci?n de una Asamblea Nacional 
Constituyente representa la alternativa para canalizar los reclamos de 
participaci?n pol?tica de todo el pueblo hondure?o. Por ella seguiremos 
luchando.

4.      Reiteramos que todos los actos que realicen el actual r?gimen de 
facto y su sucesor no ser?n reconocidos por el pueblo. Hacemos ?nfasis 
en el rechazo a cualquier amnist?a a los violadores de derechos humanos.

5.      Aprovechamos la ocasi?n para reconocer el trabajo del Comit? de 
Familiares Detenidos y Desaparecidos de Honduras, que hoy cumple 27 a?os 
de velar por la verdad, la justicia y la construcci?n de una sociedad 
donde los derechos humanos sean plenamente garantizados.
