Today is the day we commemorate the death of Chief Lempira, national hero, symbol of indigenous and popular resistance, dead in 1537. Curiously the national channel speaks of the great courage of Lempira who "defended against the intrusion of foreign ideologies in our country with his life." And they still insist on saying that we Hondurans are "essentially anti-communists," converting the coup d'etat into a "natural" reaction against the socialism of the 21st century.

This government is a mockery of itself. Hillary Clinton called Micheletti personally to warn him of the consequences that an eventual imperial blockade could have for Honduras. The government's answer was that a blockade would hurt the United States more than it would hurt our country and they would take as an model of resistance Cuba, "which has been able to survive 50 years without U.S. aid." Ramón Custodio took the floor in the presidential residence after the "interim president" spoke to say that Honduras had not violated a single human right. He began his words with "If this isn't the people, then who is?" for which he received unanimous applause from all present. In the presidential residence there were some fifty people applauding his words. He said that some "friendly" countries had blocked loans and trade, but that Saavedra, the president of the Congress offered to public coffers in the name of the Honduran people.

CAFTA will protect us from an economic blockade, said Amilcar Bulnes, president of the Honduran National Business Council. The economy is fine, the curfew is so that businesses won't violate the municipal order regarding safe early mornings, which set the closing hour for bars at 2am, there is no longer drug trafficking in the country, this is a transparent government, and Micheletti shouted "NO PASARÁN" and I no longer know what to say about a government that makes a joke out of itself.

As for the Resistance, we are in a sort of holding pattern for the 72 hours that Arias gave, of which only 48 are left. Strong actions are planned for Thursday and throughout the weekend, just after the deadline. All the media outlets repeat the words of Oscar Arias about bloodshed and it would be disingenuous to say that the idea of a civil war did not cause us fear. Nobody wants a war in Honduras, but we are at a point at which no one can go back without losing everything, or most everything, where "it's not like it was but it's the same."

The compañeros of Silim [a North Coast town under siege] warn of the military circus in which they find themselves, that they fear that sooner or later all the frustration and fury of a coup d'etat that hasn't achieved anything since its start will unload on them. We are certain this government will fall, but we fear that won't happen without bloodshed.

Yesterday was the protest in Stibys [Beverage Workers' Union] and I felt profoundly moved on seeing hundreds of people there shouting "the people united will never be divided!" People from all different sectors: workers, indigenous people, peasants, students. Anyone who, at this point, doesn't understand that what is going on in Honduras is the clearest possible expression of class war, doesn't understand anything.

Free Radio Morazán is now on the air, clandestine radio in resistance at 90.1 FM that seeks to break through the media circus we are living in. It is on at irregular hours, but it is an example of revolutionary resistance. Against the media-military coup, popular media insurgency.

¡NO PASARÁN!
