Is Their A Chavez-Obama Plot Against Honduras?

Cliff Kincaid reports on some disturbing developments coming out about Obama's anti-democracy, pro-communist policy against the anti-communist government of Honduras - a government that replaced Zalaya because he was trying to set himself up as president-for-life, Chavez-style.

Here are a few excerpts:

[...] Despite what officials of the Obama Administration said in trying to orchestrate media coverage of this crisis, it was not a military coup in any sense. The military doesn't run Honduras today. In fact, the new president, appointed by Congress, is from Zelaya's own political party. Zelaya was dismissed because of the simple fact that he tried to violate the law and the Constitution.

[...] With Obama's plans to seize the health care and energy sectors a focus of public attention, few in Congress are taking a hard look at the prospect of violence in Honduras. However, Senator Jim DeMint and several other senators have protested the Obama policy. DeMint also introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill to require the Director of National Intelligence to present a "full report" on the roles played by Chavez and the leaders of Nicaragua and Cuba in facilitating the crisis in Honduras.

What is also needed is for the Congress--and the media--to start investigating the Obama Administration's role in all of this. On July 13, the State Department spokesman confirmed that Chavez had called Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Thomas Shannon to "discuss the current situation in Honduras and the ongoing negotiations mediated by Costa Rica's President Oscar Arias." The confirmation followed news of Chavez boasting about the telephone call on Venezuelan state TV.

This tends to confirm what former Marxist SDS radical Tom Hayden, leader of "Progressives for Obama," has written about the Obama-Chavez relationship. Based on his own inside sources of information, Hayden said that he thinks Obama and Chavez are working together on Honduras and have an "understanding," which he even describes as "collaboration." The call Chavez made to Shannon suggests that Chavez is calling the shots.

Ultimately, according to a very detailed report by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, part of the Israel Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center, this would benefit Iran, a terrorist state developing nuclear weapons which is developing a vast network throughout Latin America. A recent report from the organization examines the deep Iranian connections to Venezuela as well as Bolivia.

If the Obama Administration is, in effect, acting as an agent of Venezuela (and Iran) in Honduras, such a foreign policy could be described not only as anti-American but potentially treasonous, considering that the outcome could be the loss of another country in Latin America to the Chavez brand of communism.

It is time for some investigative reporting into the nature of the Chavez-Obama axis.

Read it all for the disturbing details pointing to Chavez-Obama cooperation using a new UN military doctrine called the "Responsibility to Protect," as cover to intervene in the sovereign affairs of a nation state and undermine the security of the United States.

notes at:

The sad reality is that the Obama Administration has allowed the situation in Honduras to spin out of control. Driven by external backers - Hugo ChÃ¡vez, Daniel Ortega, Fidel & Raul Castro - ex-President Zelaya deliberately pushed his country to the brink of institutional civil war. On the way to the train wreck which the Administration surely saw coming, no voices were raised in protest, no public statements of concern issued. At the end of the day, even U.S. friends in Honduras ceased to listen and did what they felt was necessary for their country.

Whether or not this is in-effect by design on the part of Barack Obama because of his long-held Marxist beliefs, remains to be seen. Irregardless, whatever the reason for Obama's embrace of communism for Honduras and his siding with the interests of communist dictators Hugo ChÃ¡vez, Daniel Ortega, and Fidel & Raul Castro - and against those of the legitimate government of Honduras and the U.S., it is indeed time for some serious investigative reporting into the nature of the Chavez-Obama axis.
