1. Globo signal has gone down

Went silent at about 6:30 a.m.

Telesur has reporter there and she is reporting attack.

TeleSUR _ Hace: 13 minutos
La policía hondureña inició este martes en la mañana las acciones represivas contra las cientos de personas que se mantienen alrededor de la embajada brasileña en Tegucigalpa, donde se encuentra el presidente legítimo de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, que regresó el lunes de manera sorpresiva a su país.

La corresponsal de teleSUR en Adriana Sívori, comentó que las Fuerzas Militares se ubicaron en las cercanías de la sede diplomática para cumplir con la orden de despejar la zona.

2. I'd like to know who sold them the electronic weapons, rabs. I'll bet we know already.

This is sickening.

I already expected them to use it against war protesters during the stolen Presidency by Bush.

I just heard that high-pitched screech played on Telesur. I linked to them after seeing your post. It's goddawful. Hope people find a way to jam it or block it somehow.

3. Here's a pix of the thing ..

You think maybe the gorilettis got it at Radio Shack? :evilgrin:

Just heard that resistance is telling followers to postpone going to Tegu until tomorrow. Many people have been detained or turned away at checkpoints on the highways leading to the capital.

Cannot find yet whether Insulza has arrived in Tegu.

4. What a creepy machine.I wish he & his pal could be pesuaded to drag it over to serenade Goriletti.

That's truly a sadistic toy. Hope it will backfire on them.

Beating supporters in public. That's very ugly. Hope the soldiers will start turning away from harming their countrymen/women.

Thanks for this news.
