Dear Colleague,
Narco News continues its extensive coverage and analysis of the coup
in Honduras and the actions being taken by the de facto coup
government. Al Giordano writes about one of these recent actions of
the coup regime, where it effectively cut of 65-percent of its annual
budget when they decided to leave the Organization of American States
(OAS), likely to trigger, next week, the full cut-off of aid from the
US and other international organisms.
Giordano reports:
Last night, around 10 p.m. Tegucigalpa time, CNN Espaqol interrupted
its sports news programming for a live press conference announcement
(no questions, please) by coup president Micheletti.
There, he announced that his coup government of Honduras is
withdrawing from the Democratic Charter of the Organization of
American States (OAS). The Friday night press conference was meant to
preempt this mornings OAS meeting in Washington (at which various
heads of state, including Presidents Cristina Kirchner of Argentina
and Rafael Correa of Ecuador deemed important enough to attend) where
the OAS will surely expel the Honduras coup regime for its flagrant
violations of said Democratic Charter. Thus, the late Friday night
press conference to say You cant fire us! We quit!
But something else is at work: Greedy people dont just cast away 65
percent of their national budget unless they believe they can get it
from other sources.
One of the big backers of the coup detat has been an international
terrorist network of ex-Cubans, who have financed the dirty work of
jet plane bomber Luis Posada Carriles over the years and have set up
business interests in Honduras. These forces are desperate now that
Washington is making the moves to ease and end the embargo of Cuba.
Investigative journalist Guy Jean-Allard reports, via TeleSur, that
Ralph Nodarse ex-Cuban owner of Channel 6 in San Pedro Sula,
Honduras and arms-and-drug trafficker Rafael Hernandez Nodarse are
knee deep behind he coup-plotters in Honduras. The latter aided and
abetted Posada Carriles to hide out in Panama in 2004.
