A REVOLUTION IN THE MAKING
Last July 16, I literally said that the
coup d’état in
I mentioned the names of Hugo LLorens, Robert Blau, Stephen
McFarland and Robert Callahan, Yankee ambassadors to
I then indicated that the Yankee base at
Soto Cano had provided the main backup to the coup and that “the idea of a
peace initiative from Costa Rica was transmitted to the president of that
country from the State Department when Obama was in
Moscow and he was declaring at a Russian university that the only president of
Honduras was Manuel Zelaya,” and added: “With the
Costa Rica meeting, the authority of the UN, the OAS and the other institutions
that committed their support to the people of Honduras is being questioned.”
“The only correct thing to do at this moment is to demand that the government
of the United States ceases its intervention, stops giving military aid to the
coup and pulls out its Task Force from Honduras.”
The US response to the coup d’état in that
Central American country has been to strike an agreement with the government of

South America.
At a critical moment, when the tragedy of

Yankee troops under the UN flag.
The heroic struggle of the Honduran people
during almost 90 days of ceaseless battle has placed the fascist pro-Yankee government,
which is crushing unarmed men and women, in a critical situation.
We have seen the emergence of a new conscience
among the Honduran people. Legions of social fighters have gained experience in
that battle. Zelaya delivered on his promise to
return. He is entitled to his position in the government and to preside over
the elections. New and admirable cadres are outstanding in the combative social
movements; they are capable of leading that people through the hazardous journey
ahead of the peoples of Our America. A Revolution is in the making there.
The current session of the United Nations
General Assembly can be a historic one depending on its rights and/or wrongs.
The world leaders have presented very
interesting and complex subjects, which reflect the enormity of the tasks
facing humanity and the little time available.
