Coup D´etat in Honduras? Not, The Opposite, in fact

What makes Lula da Silva and Ahmajinehad say the same words?
Yeah, there´s a list:
a) A secret treat between Brazil and Iran
b) To minimize the killing in Iran
c) Yes! to show hypocrisy on Honduras

But it seems that some people keep their rationality...

Honduras Defends Its Democracy
Fidel Castro and Hillary Clinton object.

*
By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY

Hugo Chávez's coalition-building efforts suffered a setback yesterday when the Honduran military sent its president packing for abusing the nation's constitution.

It seems that President Mel Zelaya miscalculated when he tried to emulate the success of his good friend Hugo in reshaping the Honduran Constitution to his liking.

But Honduras is not out of the Venezuelan woods yet. Yesterday the Central American country was being pressured to restore the authoritarian Mr. Zelaya by the likes of Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, Hillary Clinton and, of course, Hugo himself. The Organization of American States, having ignored Mr. Zelaya's abuses, also wants him back in power. It will be a miracle if Honduran patriots can hold their ground.
[THE AMERICAS] Associated Press

That Mr. Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt. While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.

But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.

The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.

Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.

The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica.

It remains to be seen what Mr. Zelaya's next move will be. It's not surprising that chavistas throughout the region are claiming that he was victim of a military coup. They want to hide the fact that the military was acting on a court order to defend the rule of law and the constitution, and that the Congress asserted itself for that purpose, too.

Mrs. Clinton has piled on as well. Yesterday she accused Honduras of violating "the precepts of the Interamerican Democratic Charter" and said it "should be condemned by all." Fidel Castro did just that. Mr. Chávez pledged to overthrow the new government.

Honduras is fighting back by strictly following the constitution. The Honduran Congress met in emergency session yesterday and designated its president as the interim executive as stipulated in Honduran law. It also said that presidential elections set for November will go forward. The Supreme Court later said that the military acted on its orders. It also said that when Mr. Zelaya realized that he was going to be prosecuted for his illegal behavior, he agreed to an offer to resign in exchange for safe passage out of the country. Mr. Zelaya denies it.

Many Hondurans are going to be celebrating Mr. Zelaya's foreign excursion. Street protests against his heavy-handed tactics had already begun last week. On Friday a large number of military reservists took their turn. "We won't go backwards," one sign said. "We want to live in peace, freedom and development."

Besides opposition from the Congress, the Supreme Court, the electoral tribunal and the attorney general, the president had also become persona non grata with the Catholic Church and numerous evangelical church leaders. On Thursday evening his own party in Congress sponsored a resolution to investigate whether he is mentally unfit to remain in office.

For Hondurans who still remember military dictatorship, Mr. Zelaya also has another strike against him: He keeps rotten company. Earlier this month he hosted an OAS general assembly and led the effort, along side OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza, to bring Cuba back into the supposedly democratic organization.

The OAS response is no surprise. Former Argentine Ambassador to the U.N. Emilio Cárdenas told me on Saturday that he was concerned that "the OAS under Insulza has not taken seriously the so-called 'democratic charter.' It seems to believe that only military 'coups' can challenge democracy. The truth is that democracy can be challenged from within, as the experiences of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and now Honduras, prove." A less-kind interpretation of Mr. Insulza's judgment is that he doesn't mind the Chávez-style coup.

The struggle against chavismo has never been about left-right politics. It is about defending the independence of institutions that keep presidents from becoming dictators. This crisis clearly delineates the problem. In failing to come to the aid of checks and balances, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Insulza expose their true colors.

River Uniquely Cited on Bible is Found!

According to Genesis...: Ancient Geography: The Lost River of Eden and Recent Geological Discoveries
See it here too:

Ancient Geography: The Lost River of Eden and Recent Geological Discoveries
(cf. James Sauer, "The River Runs Dry: Creation Story Preserves Historical Memory" Biblical Archaeology Review, July/August (1996)

“A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good” (Gen 2:10-12).

“…in very far antiquity, just such a river once existed, and its long-dried course has been recently traced from its rise in the west Arabian gold-lands (in Havilah) east and east-northeast toward the head of the gulf, via modern Kuwait.” (Kenneth A. Kitchen, On the Reliability of the Old Testament (Grand Rapids: Eerdman’s, 2003).


Fig. 1 Map Showing Eden’s Long-lost River

Four rivers are mentioned in the narrative of the ordering of creation in Genesis 2, but as any commentary will tell you, only three are known. The commentaries, it turns out, will have to be rewritten.

Eden’s Pishon river, mentioned only in the Bible (Genesis 2:11), is said to have flowed “around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold...” Three other rivers which Genesis said were alongside the Pishon are known to us as the centers of the world’s earliest civilizations, but the Pishon was a complete enigma to readers for millennia, until recently. The earliest known civilizations, Sumer and Egypt, knew nothing of it, and these civilizations were flourishing over 1500 years before Abraham! Satellite imaging and later Space Shuttle echolocation revealed a pock-marked section of the desert caused by river stones which still lay buried deep under the desert sand. Blue is limestone, yellow-orange is desert sand; the pock-marked area in the yellow sand (below left) is caused by the influences of subterranean topography and wind on the desert sand. (the river was discovered by Farouk El-Baz of Boston University. Photo courtesy EDSAT, Boston University's Center for Remote Sensing).

The imagery also overturned the prevailing assumption of climactic stability since the end of the last ice age (ending c. 9000BC) held by a majority of ancient Near Eastern scholars until recently. It would appear, as James Sauer puts it, that Genesis contains some very ancient historical memory about ancient Near Eastern geography. How ancient? The presence of this river far predates the geography described by the Sumerians and the Egyptians, which are the earliest civilizations known to historians, yet its existence and location are just as they are found in the Bible.

This brings to mind an obvious question: where’s all that gold? It turns out that the gold of that land is good! The ancient river, it turns out, runs right by the best producing site in the world today. "Only one place in Arabia has such a deposit -the famous site of Mahd edh-Dhahab, the "Cradle of Gold." This mine, ancient and modern [it was re-discovered in 1932] currently produces more than 5 tons of gold a year. The mining site is located about 125 miles south of Medina, near the headwaters of the Kuwait River" (Sauer, op cit, p. 64).

“This quartz-sulfide-gold vein at Mahd edh-Dhahab is still mined today. The mine, which some identify as King Solomon’s mine (1 Kings 9:26–28), produces more than 5 tons of gold a year” (Sauer, op cit; Photo by Richard B. Carten).

UnoAmerica versus Unisur / Sao Paulo Forum: The Last Chance for Latin America

At last - and I hope not least - an effort emerge from South America democrat-conservative people to try to stop the madness of the Sao Paulo Forum.
I was invited to join. And I agreed.

If you interested, write me.

UnoAmerica against the Sao Paolo Forum - (2008-12-15)

Delegates of several Latin-American
Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) gathered in Bogotá , Colombia ,
between December 12 and December 14, 2008, to explore ways to defend
democracy and freedom, which has been severely restricted and
threatened in the continent. The delegates decided to establish a
confederation of NGOs – christened UnoAmerica — to pursue their common
goals.  UnoAmerica will primarily function as an instrument for Latin
American democratic sectors to exchange information, coordinate action,
and support each other. The Final Declaration signed by the delegates
is the following:

            The failure of
governments to eradicate poverty in Latin America , in spite of it
being the richest continent on Earth, allowed the growth and
development of the Sao Paulo Forum (FSP), an organization that brought
together all the leftist movements and political parties in the region,
including the Colombian narco-terrorist guerrilla group FARC (Colombian
Revolutionary Armed Forces).

            The members of the Sao
Paulo Forum take advantage of people's needs in order to manipulate the
poor, promising “social justice” and better economic conditions.
However, once in power, they don't solve any of the crucial problems in
our countries, but instead introduce Marxist ideological models that
divide our societies into factions based on class and race, promoting
hate, violence and anarchy.

            At present, there are
fourteen Latin American governments connected to the Sao Paulo Forum.
Although most of them reached power through democratic elections, some
are destroying democracy from within, eliminating separation of power,
checks and balances and fundamental rights. Such is the case with Hugo
Chavez ( Venezuela ), Evo Morales ( Bolivia ), Rafael Correa ( Ecuador
), Cristina Kirchner ( Argentina ) and Daniel Ortega ( Nicaragua ).

            To achieve their goals,
the members of the Sao Paulo Forum do not resort to firing squads to
eliminate their enemies, as was done in Cuba by Fidel Castro, the most
prominent founding member of the FSP. They now use more modern and
sophisticated methods. One basic process is through constitutional
reforms that allow them  to control all three branches of power, and to
remain permanently in the Presidency. Elections are rigged and voting
secrecy is, in practice, eliminated. Although these attacks on
democracy are executed quite openly, other “moderate” members of the
FSP -- Brazil 's Lula da Silva (co-founder of the FSP along with Fidel
Castro), Uruguay 's Tabaré Vázquez and Chile 's Michelle Bachelet --
don't complain or criticize their radical counterparts.

            The FSP has a
transnational project that disregards national borders or sovereignty.
To achieve their goals, FSP members intervene in the internal affairs
of other countries, funding candidates of their liking, supplying
military equipment, and even making decisions on internal conflicts
using related organizations such as the Union of South American Nations
(UNASUR).  Democratic political and social forces, on the other hand,
have so-far limited their action to their own national territory.

            These two very different
methods of operation have so far placed Latin American democrats at a
serious disadvantage, hampering their ability to counterbalance the
advance of the FSP. UnoAmerica is an attempt to correct that imbalance.

            In addition to the goal
of counteracting FSP, UnoAmerica will design economic programs to
promote industrialization and development in our continent, in order to
help solve the oldest and most serious problems in our region –
poverty, illiteracy and even hunger -- as an antidote to
totalitarianism.

            Poverty and illiteracy
are the main barriers to the consolidation of democracy and freedom in
Latin America . There are no other real obstacles to development in a
region full of resources.

            We invite all democratic
forces in Latin America to join this initiative. We invite them to work
together to promote a better future in which freedom, social justice,
solidarity and integration, and the rule of law will prevail.

Another Faked "Death" of Palestinian Boy?

Eight years ago, the world stopped by the horror vision of a man and his son being caught in the middle of fire between Israeli and Palestinians. The man was wounded and his son was allegedly killed by the Israeli forces.

After some research, a documentary came out showing that this event was totally staged by the Palestinian fighters and their journalist counter-parts to sell a twisted vision of the conflict.

Nowadays, the use of leftist media outlets (CNN, Reuters, etc) as proxies of the terror networks are common ground, but it seems that something emerged from the surface from time to time, afterall. H/T Little Green Footballs

Boy's death on video is a fake, blog says

Published: Jan. 13, 2009 at 8:27 PM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- A video of a 12-year-old boy allegedly killed in Gaza by an Israeli drone-fired missile, aired on CNN, is a fake, U.S. bloggers claim.

Dramatic video shot by the boy's older brother shows doctors trying to save the boy, his grieving family and the first part of a burial, IsraelNN.com reported. The family said the boy and a 14-year-old cousin were playing on their roof when they were by a missile fired by an Israeli drone supplied by the United States.

But IsraelNN.com said Charles Johnson 's U.S. blog Little Green Footballs uncovered several alleged discrepancies:

The family did not say how it knew a drone was involved, and no family member claimed to have witnessed the attack; doctors were massaging the child's stomach lightly, instead of vigorously massaging his chest; the boy was supposedly wounded everywhere by shrapnel, but there were no visible wounds on his head; and the rooftop on which he was purportedly killed showed only a small amount of damage.

CNN is standing by the report, IsraelNN said. The Israeli military said it had no knowledge of the incident.

“Committing national suicide”

Chemist who helped invent ‘the pill’ says Europe facing demographic catastrophe from widespread contraceptive use

Vienna, Jan. 11, 2009 / (CNA) -- The chemist who made a key discovery leading to the invention of the birth control pill has written a commentary calling demographic decline in Europe a “horror scenario” and a “catastrophe” brought on in part by the pill’s invention.

Mr. Carl Djerassi, now 85 years old, was one of three researchers whose formulation of the synthetic progestagen Norethisterone marked a key step in the creation of the first oral contraceptive pill, the Guardian reports.

In a personal commentary in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, Djerassi said his invention is partly to blame for demographic imbalance in Europe. On the continent, he argued, there is now “no connection at all between sexuality and reproduction.”

“This divide in Catholic Austria, a country which has on average 1.4 children per family, is now complete,” he wrote.

Djerassi described families who had decided against reproduction as “wanting to enjoy their schnitzels while leaving the rest of the world to get on with it.”

The fall in the birth rate, he claimed, was an “epidemic” far worse but less highlighted than obesity. In his view, young Austrians who fail to procreate are committing national suicide.
If it is not possible to reverse the demographic decline, an “intelligent immigration policy” will be necessary, Djerassi said.

According to the Guardian, the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, told Austrian TV that Pope Paul VI had predicted the pill would cause a dramatic fall in the birth rate.

“Somebody above suspicion like Carl Djerassi... is saying that each family has to produce three children to maintain population levels, but we’re far away from that,” the cardinal said.
