Video of today's deadly military attack on peaceful protestors in Honduras

As the coup government blocked the constitutional president from landing in his country today, its largely U.S.-trained and funded military shot into the massive crowd, killing at least two people. My friend filmed the massacre:

Zelaya was overthrown because of his policies that favored the poor

From http://www.nicanet.org/?p=728, by Katherine Hoyt:

If Zelaya was so bad, why are all those people out in the streets demanding his return? The reasons you never hear in our media

Day seven (last night) from Oscar, my translation

Puta I am tired. I have been waiting for the OAS resolution in which they discuss suspending Honduras from the organization. The de facto government of Micheletti tried yesterday to decounce the organization, since it's not an internationally recognized authority, but it didn't work. All of this is ridiculous. The right is shouting sovereignty and independence. In the morning on the national channel Cardenal Rodriguez gave a speech taking a position in favor of the coup, calling for peace and "sanity" which in his terms mean that the people should let others decide for it.

Persecution of Zelaya's cabinet in Honduras

What is being engineered right now is really ugly. I see a U.S.-engineered international pullout of support of democracy in Honduras cloaked in the law. No time to blog on it right now unfortunately- hopefully later tonight. In the meantime, ministers in hiding:

early election≠democracy

Much of the Honduran military coup government propaganda dutifully being regurgitated by the U.S. press right now focuses on the willingness of the Honduran coup government to hold an election earlier that the already-scheduled November election. This will be an election pitting two right-wing pro-coup candidates against each other, will not represent the people, and will not change the fact of the coup. Any government that follows Micheletti's military coup or participates in their election will be a coup government.
