Honduras Coup: The Dumbest Regime on Earth

All governments have a tendency to become dimwitted and encrusted bureaucracies. But one month into the Honduras coup d’etat the illegitimate regime of “president” Roberto Micheletti wins the prize.

Its obsession with the possibility that the elected president Manuel Zelaya might return to Honduran soil has offered 32 days of clown show, one that has only served to increase the Honduran people’s opposition to the coup.

The regime says it has an arrest warrant for Zelaya but twice it has had the opportunity to enforce it and twice it did not.

The worry that the third time might be the charm has caused the illegitimate president to order a 24-hour martial curfew in the border states of El Paraíso and Choluteca. You can see in the video, above, the blockades set up by military forces with specific orders to stop three kinds of shipments from reaching those states: food, medicine and potable water. The drivers demonstrate for the camera that all they are carrying is food.

And you can see the trucks and cars that had been transporting that newly defined contraband lined up and unable to cross the checkpoints.

Zelaya is camped out across the border in Nicaragua. How starving or suffocating the border state Hondurans somehow prevents him from reentering is not explained by the coup mongers.

A military official explains on camera that he and his troops are only following orders from “the president” (meaning, the joke of a leader that is Micheletti). He also claims that ten Red Cross vehicles carrying food and medicine were allowed through the checkpoints.

Yet in the video one can see a Red Cross vehicle detained at the checkpoint, unable to pass.

El Paraíso counts with 380,000 residents. Choluteca has 420,000. Together they are home to more than ten percent of the Honduras' 7.5 million population. Even if the military official was telling the truth, how ten vehicles would somehow feed and heal 800,000 people – short of a Biblical miracle complete with a Sermon on the Mount – was also not explained.
