Radio Globo saying Zelaya just crossed the border nt

[flamingdem]

[rabs]

1. So, is he violating the curfew?

No arrest so far !!!

[flamingdem]

2. He's speaking on Radio Globo now - and his mom! nt

[Judi Lynn]

3. So good so far. Keeping fingers crossed. n/t

[rabs]

4. Telesur interviewing Zelaya's wife

She is saying the family will walk the 12 clicks to where Zelaya is.

Asking only that the family and supporters be allowed to pass the military roadblocks.

[flamingdem]

6. Incredibly symbolic reunion.

Zelaya knew how to pull this off, he knows his people, still crossing fingers however.

[flamingdem]

5. Xiomara says she spoke with Vasquez and he doesn't want violence

also Zelaya is waiting for an okay from a coronel
to be able to go forward and he won't otherwise.

Weirdly, it looks like they might just work it out.

Zelaya is saying to them that they know they cannot
rule the country.

[rabs]

7. Zelaya back on Nicaraguan land

He crossed the chain back into Nicaragua after speaking with a Honduran army colonel, who is awaiting further instructions from golpistas in Tegu.

Z apparently waiting for his family to arrive at the border.

8. They showed a split screen with a pro-Goriletti rally from that town where the Honduran lives.

San Pedro Sula.

Idiots lurching around with their pure as the driven snow white costumes on, waving "Goriletti is a hero" signs.

Why aren't they inside their houses, considering the curfew?

[Bacchus39]

9. the "town" of San Pedro Sula has over one million people

the curfew is at the border. hello????

looks like Mel isn't going to make it this time either.

[Judi Lynn]

10. I meant to say "The Honduran troll." Just noticed it left it out. n/t

[roody]

16. Why are so many of their signs in English???

[Judi Lynn]

17. That's very odd, isn't it? We had a troll here who haunted this forum

intensively just before the coup. She claimed to be from Texas, currently living in San Pedro Sula, married to an ex-death squad guy trained at S.O.A., and she cleared out before this treachery started.

Her only purpose, it appeared was to try to lay a heavy hate campaign here against Zelaya.

[Bacchus39]

19. for the international community I presume, its pretty common these days

to see signs in English at protests

[Downwinder]

20. They get 20 dollars a day to be out there, normal wage is 5.

edit for: It's your tax dollars at work (NED).

[Judi Lynn]

21. I believe it! I definitely believe that's true.

I read last week employers are also coercing their workers to turn out and demonstrate with them, or lose their jobs.

[Downwinder]

27. Look at all of the matching shirts. You have to know it's organized.

What is the cost of lettered Tees? Have to be ordered in advance.

[Judi Lynn]

28. Who would have suspect a little coup would be so efficient! They had it all figured out,

and probably got some help from the same people who organized the color revolutions in "new" Europe.

[Downwinder]

30. Very probable.

Wonder if they have a checklist to follow. Might be a SOA handout.

[Judi Lynn]

11. Speaking to the non-trolls: did someone just get shot? Thanks. n/t

[flamingdem]

12. Someone was shot, a think a well known organizer but he lived

was shot in the cheek and it went to the kidney, something like that.

Not sure if I it right but something about a shot in his face with a
nine millimeter.

[Judi Lynn]

13. Good grief. Thank you for that, flamingdem. n/t

[magbana]

14. Telesur showed footage of military/police messing with protesters

in El Paraiso. i heard about 5 or 6 shots. they showed a young man who was missing the upper part of his ear. it also looked like the bullet had skated along his cheek. I dont' think he is the guy you are talking about, but the point remains, both were HEAD SHOTS!

[magbana]

15. Zelaya has just asked the folks who are with him at the border to

have something to eat with him. I assume that Zelaya is still waiting for the Col. who is supposed to be meeting him there. It will be interesting to see if the military plays around with this and makes him wait, and wait. Or worse as nighfall approaches.

Patricia Rodas is remaining at his side.

[Judi Lynn]

18. Thanks for this info. Didn't know a thing about this.

I can see why it would be a good idea if they got back in touch.

I heard them talking earler about some colonel. It would be so good if he actually knew some anti-coup military.

[rabs]

22. Radio Globo just went dead here.

just as station was beginning a live interview with Zelaya.

Anyone else lose the signal?


(Edit)

Signal just came back on. It was off for a few minutes.

[Judi Lynn]

23. Telesur came back, as well. Both were gone at the same time, apparently. n/t

[rabs]

25. The resistance has taken over the blvd. where the station is located in Tegu.

Station telling listeners that if is taken off the air in Tegu., for those who can to listen online.

Station is housed on the 2nd floor of a shopping center in the heart of the capital.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Did Telesur say Zelaya has just been reunited with his family? I hope so. n/t

[rabs]

26. Did not hear anything like that on Telesur

Last I heard was that Z's wife and son were at a military checkpoint a few kilometers from the border.

Interesting item from Radio Progreso few minutes ago. It reported that the army colonel who talked with Zelaya on the Honduran side on the border this afternoon has been relieved of his command, the 110th Army Brigade.

Another indication that all is not hunky-dory within the miliary.

[Judi Lynn]

29. It's rotten they wouldn't let his family come to see him. Dirty business.

I hope the news about the colonel will travel fast and move more soldiers to recosider if they want to defend this bunch of criminals...

Thanks for the update.
