Zionist Radiation Beams? Yup, Sounds Like Zelaya
“We are being threatened with death,” he told the Herald. And he predicted that soon, mercenaries would storm the embassy to assassinate him. The Herald article does not say if Zelaya was referring to the same Israeli mercenaries that were bombarding him with high-frequency radiation — but in Mel’s World, the possibilities are endless and nothing can be too outrageous.
This latest development may seem bizarre to those who are not aware of Zelaya’s eccentricities, but to the Honduran people and to those that have followed his colorful career, it is but another fantastic chapter in the Mel Zelaya saga.
The wannabe presidente for life of Honduras has never been known to be a low-key individual. In fact, the larger-than-life persona he created for himself has always been a source of pride for him. He finds nothing peculiar in his fetish for leather vests, cowboy boots, and the ten-gallon cowboy hats he wears everywhere. Neither does it bother him that although he is 56-years-old, you would be hard-pressed to find a single gray hair on his head or on his trademark bushy mustache. Life in exile these past few weeks may have been rough for this boisterous politician, but at least he has not had to go without his Just For Men hair coloring treatments.
This high regard for himself and his appearance even led Mel to commission an artist to create a life-sized fiberglass sculpture of him so he could admire his own greatness in three dimensions.
But Mel’s story is not just about personality quirks and fantastical stories of Israeli mercenaries. His tale also includes collusion with President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela in aiding drug traffickers. He has been accused by Honduran authorities of stealing millions of dollars from the Honduran Treasury, and shortly after he was deposed, computers were found in his residence with the results of a vote for the illegal constitutional referendum that never took place. Not surprisingly, the rigged voting results indicated an overwhelming victory for Zelaya’s reform.
Yet with all his peculiarities and criminal activities, the Obama administration, the UN, the OAS, and the EU have all joined hands with the likes of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez to call for his reinstatement. According to these supporters, what is best for Honduras is the leadership of an egocentric criminal who believes he is being attacked by Israeli mercenaries using high-frequency radiation.
One would like to think that such a prestigious and law-abiding group of nations and world organizations would avoid and denounce a character such as Zelaya. But as we have already learned, anything is possible in Mel’s World.
Israeli mercenaries and toxic gas? Exactly how and/or why did the Hondurans elect this guy? Did the opposition guy canpaign in a straight jacket using only the word “Wibble” in his campaign speeches? This crazy talk makes me think they were right to get rid of the guy, but why did they elect him in the first place?
This story seems to have been translated into ‘Honduran troops fire tear gas into the Embassy grounds’ by the world news media. I expect that sounds less certifiably insane. Certainly NO mention of Mossad, or ‘death rays’.
An episode of the 1960′s version of “Dragnet” had a vignette about a guy who wanted a gun permit because his neighbor was “menacing” him. Please note that as he sat talking to Sgt. Friday, his hat and coat were festooned with metal campaign buttons, slogan buttons, etc. When Joe asked him what the problem was, he claimed that the neighbor was X-raying him through the walls of his house. When he then asked what the buttons were for, the guy proclaimed (with clenched fists and a messianic look) “They ABSORB the X-rays!”
Needless to say, he didn’t get the permit.
Now, if we didn’t give gun permits to people who were obviously off their conk back then, why would we want to assist someone who is obviously in no better shape mentally to seize control of an entire country now? Especially a country that’s our friend- or at least was, until our new “enlightened” President and SecState began dreaming of a worldwide socialist paradise run by people as irrational as they are?
This probably makes perfect sense to a President who keeps re-reading his two autobiographies and a SecState who thinks the world is a village, with her running it. Other people of more pragmatic intellect might have a different opinion.

I read about forty five years ago that the only reason the US has not had an attempted communist coup is that we do not have an embassy in our country.

November 29!!
In analyzing the Administration’s response, there are only 3 possibilities:
1) They are pro-communist, marxist, etc…
2) They are incredibly incompetant
3) Zelay has something on them.
At least the Hondurans have more “huevos” than the Venezuelans…They kicked the looser out..when are Venezuelans going to kick out Chavez? Maybe there is shortage of “huevos” in Venezuela?
Our Ms Cackle demands that Zelaya be returned to power until the November elections. And I agree. After all, we have a delusional narcissist- The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers – in charge. Why should we have all the fun?
When in doubt, blame the Jews. There’s never a downside to that card.
Exactly how and/or why did the Hondurans elect this guy? Did the opposition guy canpaign in a straight jacket using only the word “Wibble” in his campaign speeches?
Permettez-moi d’expliquer. The media was in the tank for him and his opponent was a has been named
Juan Elí Arroyo-López Ramírez McCain
0 should offer political asylum to zelaya here to protect him from those evil Jews. Maybe he could offer him a job as czar of the IRS or something. Then after 0 pulls all the troops out of the sandbox he can invade Honduras to restore his buddy to power and make the world safe for democracy.
That should guarantee that he goes down in history, instead of just going down in the present day.
Them damn Joo-rays again, where is my tin foil hat?

very entertaining article.
We have politicians and wannabes in the US just as delusional.
Indicted Illinois governors always have some delusional stories that are almost believable.
But then, some of the not-yet-indicted are more delusional than the indicted.
This is right out of the old Saturday Nite Live sitcoms, but even funnier is Obama and Hillary insisting this Loony Tune be reinstated. What a government we have!
I think many of us Americans are very curious to know why this Honduran thing has garnered so much attention while other more serious world events have not. The U.N. has become irrelevant and the OAS is predictable. But the IMF and Clinton (well, maybe she is predictable), Obama and our foreign policy establishment’s narrow obsession with re-installing an ally of Chavez is puzzling to say the least. Something’s fishy in Denmark (no offense to Denmark).
It’s quite clear that you’re main concern are the Hondurans. I mean, what could be more important than this story…oh wait:

PRESS RELEASE
September, 25 2009
Honduras: Sharp rise in police beatings, mass arrests and harassment of activists
Amnesty International today denounced a sharp rise in police beatings, mass arrests of demonstrators and intimidation of human rights defenders in Honduras since the June coup d’état and warned that fundamental rights and the rule of law in the Central American nation are in grave jeopardy.
According to reports received by the organization, yesterday morning around 15 police fired tear gas canisters at the building of the prominent human rights organization COFADEH. Around 100 people, including women and children, were inside the office at the time. Many had come to denounce police abuses during the break up of a demonstration earlier outside the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, where ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has taken refuge.
“The situation in Honduras can only be described as alarming,” said Susan Lee, Americas Director at Amnesty International. “The attacks against human rights defenders, suspension of news outlets, beating of demonstrators by the police and ever increasing reports of mass arrests indicate that human rights and the rule of law in Honduras are at grave risk.”
“The only way forward is for the de facto authorities to stop the policy of repression and violence and instead respect the rights of freedom of expression and association,” said Susan Lee. “We also urge the international community to urgently seek a solution, before Honduras sinks even deeper into a human rights crisis.”
Following the break up by police of a mass demonstration outside the Brazilian Embassy yesterday numerous demonstrators were reported to have been beaten by police and some several hundred detained across the city. Reports also indicated similar scenes of human rights violations across the country.
Amnesty International received information that dozens of protestors were taken to unauthorised detention sites across the capital last night. Although most of those detained have been released, mass arbitrary arrests may make those detained vulnerable to human rights abuses such as ill-treatment, torture or enforced disappearance.
Amnesty International has documented the limits which have been imposed on freedom of expression since the coup d’état, including the closure of media outlets, the confiscation of equipment and physical abuse of journalists and camerapersons covering events. Radio Globo and TV channel 36 yesterday suffered power stoppages or constant interruptions to their transmissions which prevented them from broadcasting.
Yeah, thank god they got rid of that dictator! You’re a pathetic excuse for a journalist. And a human.
The Israelis are THAT devious and THAT ruthless….and yet this sinister buffoon is somehow still cumbering the earth?? The really distressing part of it is realizing that he only says this because he has reason to think that enough Hondurans will believe his claptrap.
Another Socialist, another redistribution of wealth. I’ve noticed over the years that every socialist nation, where you’d expect this wealth to lift most people upward, ends up with everyone living just above the poverty level. Everyone, that is, except for the real socialists at the top, who seem to acquire most of the confiscated wealth and live like, live like what? Oh yes, billionaires.
Strange, isn’t it? Very strange.
Why doesn’t Obama, for example, just give up all that he owns above $250,000, for example, and George Soros too.
One more example of the anti-semiticism of the far left. No wonder Obama and Hilary support Zelaya. Let’s hope that the Honduran people get rid of him and all like him. Same goes for us here in the US. 2010
@ 20 Hey Moho, since you’re so concerned with the Honduran people, why don’t you read the State Department’s Human Rights Report on Honduras, with nice juicy quotes such as:
“The following human rights problems were reported: unlawful killings by members of the police and government agents… violence against detainees by security forces; harsh prison conditions; corruption and impunity within the security forces; failure to provide due process of law; lengthy pretrial detention…. erosion of press freedom; corruption in the legislative and executive branches; government restrictions on recognition of some nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); violence and discrimination against women….
“There were reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings…
“Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment… there were instances in which government officials employed them, including police beatings and other abuse of detainees.
“The constitution and law prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention, but the authorities at times failed to enforce these prohibitions effectively…
“….there were reports of government intimidation of journalists, government takeovers of television transmission frequencies, and journalistic self-censorship.
“In August the National Commission of Telecommunications (Conatel), disregarding a judge’s ruling, transferred the rights to broadcast on Channel Eight from a private enterprise, Teleunsa, to the Office of the President.
“NGOs published two reports describing threats to media freedom by the practice of “official publicity.” The reports detailed how the government guided press coverage through greater access and advertising revenue for those producing favorable reporting while denying access or making legal threats against those who did not.”
Reprehensible, isn’t it? Yeah, the only thing is, this report is from 2008, under ZELAYA’S GOVERNMENT. Here’s the link:
http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2008/wha/119164.htm
But I guess to you and your left-wing agenda, the human right’s abuses of the past 3 months are far more important than those committed under 3 1/2 years of Zelaya rule. You’re a pathetic excuse for a blog commentator. “And a human.”
Here’s another good read: The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service’s report for Congress on Honduras, which concludes:
“Available sources indicate that the judicial and legislative branches applied constitutional and statutory law in the case against President Zelaya in a manner that was judged by the Honduran authorities from both branches of the government to be in accordance with the Honduran legal system.
“However, removal of President Zelaya from the country by the military is in direct violation of the Article 102 of the Constitution, and apparently this action is currently under investigation by the Honduran authorities.”
Bottom line: The Honduran Congress acted properly in deposing President Manuel Zelaya. The Supreme Court was legally entitled to ask the military to arrest Zelaya. The proper line of succession was followed after Zelaya’s ouster. On the other hand, the military did not act properly in forcibly expatriating Zelaya. He should’ve remained in Honduras to face trial.
Come to think of it, he’s back IN Honduras right now. If only he’d step out of the Brazilian Embassy and face trial, everything would be perfect!

Photos the MSM won’t print: 3,000 angry pro-Zelaya protesters violently running rampage through Tegucigalpa, torching cars, etc.
http://lagringasblogicito.blogspot.com/2009/09/zelaya-comes-to-honduras-and-violence.html
Meanwhile, 20,000 rally peacefully against Zelaya. Here’s a local paper’s report, in Spanish: http://elheraldo.hn/Especiales/Honduras%20en%20contra%20de%20la%20ilegalidad%20del%2004%20de%20septiembre%20de%202009/Ediciones/2009/09/24/Noticias/Multitudinaria-marcha-a-favor-de-la-paz
Here’s another report, how a Zelaya crony allegedly distributed $160,000 of unknown origin to organize protests against Micheletti’s government (in Spanish):

#20 Moho
Amnesty International? As big a joke as the UN. Did they also report the malatov cocktails and rocks and bottles thrown at the police? How about those rampaging Zelaya supporters setting fires and destroying businesses?
You’re uniquely stupid, I’ll give you that, Chileno. You realize that its the security forces and the police that forced out Zelaya, right? What a douche.
Things at the bathroom must be quiet at the blablalu camp for Mr De la cross to be stirring up Honduran kaka..Like they dont stir enough of the stuff with Cuba…Yes, lets bring back that old time right wing religion..He should stick to writting about hair and fashion.
Thank you for this report, AdlC. We moderns should not take demagogues, dictators and wannabes lightly if they express loopy beliefs. Such beliefs do not impair their brutal effectiveness at seizing and holding power. I wonder if such rants are sometimes camouflage. For example, even though Zelaya’s accusations sound crazy, they had the practical effect of getting the Honduran government to acknowledge Zelaya and respond.
One quibble: I’m perplexed that, in this online era, you didn’t link to the Miami Herald interview that your piece is based on. The interview is here.
Beam me up, Hillary.
“This crazy talk makes me think they were right to get rid of the guy, but why did they elect him in the first place?”
You start with a press singularly uninterested in probing his background, add in the press actively covering up any negative story that still manages to surface, and top it off with the press treating even the least plausible rumor about his opponents as if it’s the gospel truth.
Oh. You were asking about Zelaya. I thought you were asking about Obama.
Moho — why so eager to attack the people, not their arguments?
We didn’t elect him, he admitted on national TV that he won with fraud.
I can do both. Sorry, for not playing your pearl-clutching game. Its your only defense, because your arguments hardly live up to the word.
The most telling sentence states that Zelaya gave passage to the drug lords. That is why the Obama Administration loves him and hates the Honduran constitution. That is also why the Obama Adminstration is reducing the number of Border Agents by 350 plus. Watch out, the Chicago mob is in control and the drug lords cometh.
@28 Mojon said, ” You realize that its the security forces and the police that forced out Zelaya, right?”
Mojon, you realize they did it because the SUPREME COURT ordered them to arrest him, right? That is, after its justices (8 of which were from Zelaya’s party) voted 15-0 to have him removed for acting illegally.
How typical of you to dream up a right-wing conspiracy where Zelaya was powerless to control his own government’s security forces, and thus be blameless of any excesses they may have committed… for OVER 3 1/2 YEARS. Was he trapped in his Presidential palace, helpless all that time? Is that why he had the time to commission statues and busts in his likeness? Never mind he pushed through tough reforms the right had no interest in, like raising the minimum wage by 50%. You’d think the right-wing would’ve done him in before that. Sorry, Mojon, this, like the rest of your wild rants, is a hard sell.
And explain to me what security forces have to do with government meddling with freedom of speech, and the transfer broadcast rights of a private TV station to the Office of the President (i.e. Zelaya). As usual, you ignore inconvenient facts that don’t fit into your fairy tale responses. (BTW, still believe 60% of Israeli Jews come from Arab lands, dufus?)
Your pathetic reasoning -blaming the right wing despite Zelaya controlling the presidency – is just as weak as your prophet/messiah Obama’s when he blames Conservatives (instead of his own party’s ineptitude) for his inability to pass healthcare “reform,” despite the fact that Democrats control the Presidency and both houses of Congress. And just like BHO, you don’t really give a damn about Honduran constitutional law, and could care less about Honduran human rights: they’re only useful insofar as they serve your anti-conservative agenda. I’m surprised you haven’t brought up race yet -oh, that’s right, you can’t ’cause Zelaya isn’t Black. Too bad… You won’t be able to label as racists all who criticize Zelaya -like you love to label as racist Republicans any who dare criticize The One (despite the fact that now even a majority of independents disapprove of Obama’s handling of the Presidency).
You’re still the same rabidly deceptive, hateful Mojon. What a predictable fruitcake.
Chileno. I didn’t think you could get any dumber, but you surprised me. Of course he had no control over the security forces, you fool. They overthrew him. What an idiot.
Why is it dumb of Chileno to suggest that the security forces changed sides in the dispute? Are you saying that doesn’t happen?
I think there’s at least some method to Zelaya’s madness.
When the rest of the world–certainly the “hope & change” crowd, Democratic “elder statesmen,” many Western Europeans, the Latin-American radical Left and the Middle East–all suffer from anti-Semitic psychosis, why would he not look to this epidemic of pathological hatred for support?
When Zibigniew Brzezinski is openly talking about shooting down Israeli jets, the question is not whether Maunel Zelaya really believes that “Israeli mercenaries” are out to get him, but whether Brzezinski believes they are out to get him.
@ 38: Mojon, were you always an insufferable jerk or did they teach you that at fruitcake liberal loon school? It’s amazing how you manage to make yourself look even stupider than nature had intended! Let’s see if I can take this down to first grade level, so someone with your limited capacities can understand:
If City Police serve an arrest warrant on the Mayor (issued by a judge after declaring the Mayor’s rule illegal), does that mean the Mayor was “overthrown”? Does that mean he never had control over City Police?? Heloooo! Anybody home??? I didn’t think you could be any more foolish, but your blind faith in anything anti-Conservative did the trick once again.
Get this through your thick skull: The security forces did not remove Zelaya, the Supreme Court/ Congress did. The military simply served as the instrument to carry out the order. As stated elsewhere: The Honduran military did not undertake these actions on their own accord. It was instructed to do so by the Supreme Court, after the Honduran Congress confirmed the court’s opinion. There was NO military coup. The military was acting in their role set forth in the Constitution (you may want to read it) and as instructed by the Congress and the Supreme Court. The military is not and has not attempted to act as the government controlling agent. Civilians have retained control of the government as written in the constitution.
The security forces never “changed sides.” Their allegiance is to the constitutional government of Honduras, not to an individual. They have always acted in support of the Honduran constitutional government. They supported Zelaya while he was President. Once his rule was declared illegal by the Supreme Court/Congress (and therefore no longer the President), they acted -as instructed- to remove him.
If the US Supreme Court had issued an arrest warrant for Bush, and he refused to vacate the White House, would it not have been justified to have “security forces” remove him? Does that mean he never had “control” of the security forces? I know you and your Obamamaniac friends have difficulty understanding that a constitutional government is not based on cult of personality, and that security forces do not serve the individual acting as President, as they do in Venezuela and Cuba.
What a pathetic excuse for a commentator indeed you are, and show again and again. Your only purpose in life is to spew insults and show how bitter, prejudiced, hateful, deceptive, arrogant, and ignorant you can be. What a sick fck you are, really.
These lefties are so very critical of America and the West because, well, we’re just not perfect. On the other hand they easily overlook the corruption and terrorism of these wannabe dictators and their Islamo-fascist mullah buddies. This whole thing about ray guns and Israeli agents is as preposterous as the stuff going on at the UN this past week. The media loves this stuff because the media mostly have their own biased agendas which uneducated and intolerant people lap up. Amid..whatever… and his ilk don’t answer to their own oppressed populations. These clowns and hatemongers should be ostracized and marginalized, not given a forum like the UN to spread their garbage. Shame on the media and the UN.
Alberto, you have an active imagination.
And where is that photo from? I see many statues of other individuals in the same shot. Looks like the same sort of display we have all across America, with statues our national leaders and historical figures and such.

Except that report is NOT from the “nonpartisan Congressional Research Service”. Get your so-called ‘facts’ right.
Check the correction at the end of this Mary O’Grady article in the WSJ:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204518504574423570828980800.html
In fact, the CRS refused to do the study requested and passed it on to the Law Library, where some partisan hack wrote up a quick report.
So shmoho, it sounds like you’re jim-dandy with Zelaya’s unhinged antisemitic rant, right?
@43 Yo, Dave,
Here’s a link to a news report from “La Prensa,” a Honduran newspaper, on the statue issue (in Spanish):
http://www.laprensahn.com/index.php/Pa%C3
%ADs/Ediciones/2009/07/19/Noticias/Zelaya-ya-tenia-lista-una-estatua-y-busto
Roughly translated: “The Honduran government today exhibited a statue and bust of Manuel Zelaya, which were allegedly commissioned by the deposed leader, and had been kept in the Presidential Home.
“Hondurans had no knowledge of their existence…
“The statue, which is actual size and shows Zelaya with an upstretched hand, is similar to those of four 19th century Honduran national heroes… that are on exhibit in a Presidential Home garden.
“…Zelaya commissioned the statue to the same sculptor who made those of the national heroes…”
Dave, yes, we have statues of our national leaders…. But they’re usually commissioned by OTHERS, not by themselves, and we usually wait until they’re OUT OF OFFICE to make or name monuments to them. Or would you be comfortable with Obama commissioning a statue to himself right now?
@44 Bucky:
The study was misrepresented in several news outlets, including the Washington Examiner, and, at least initially, in the WSJ. I’ll admit in this I stand corrected, here’s the WSJ correction:
“A study on Honduras law and the recent removal of President Manuel Zelaya was done by the Law Library of Congress. This column attributed the study to the Congressional Research Service, based on information provided by the office of Congressman Aaron Schock (R., Ill.). A spokesman for Mr. Schock says the Congressman commissioned the study from CRS, which passed the request on to the Law Library, which also does research for Congress.”
But where do YOU get your “so-called fact” that the “CRS refused to do the study” and that “some partisan hack wrote up a quick report…”??
Quoting from the Law Library of Congress’ website: “The Law Library serves as the nation’s custodian of legal and legislative collections from all countries and legal systems of the world housed in the Library of Congress. …The Law Library of Congress provides foreign and comparative legal and legislative information services to national and global researchers through its Foreign Law Specialists. The Foreign Law Specialists are a diverse group of foreign trained attorneys…”
So excuse me for misquoting a study others in the media misrepresented, but I still have a lot more faith in the non-partisan nature of the Library of Congress’ Law Library than in YOURS.
This article is one of many addressing the inaccuracies and errors of fact appearing in the report:
http://www.quotha.net/node/385
I know I got here a bit too late, but Dave, the statues are just one more of the Zelaya’s insane stunts… I mean, he was just the president, how can he catalogue himself as a national heroe? Isn’t that supposed to be an honor that history would give him in due time?
