A bird's eye view of the vineyard
Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew (10:26) and Saint John (8:32)
Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety. His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
Holy Prophet and King David (Psalm 145:3-4 according to the LXX)
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
Arundhati Roy
Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
And above all,
Thou shalt not be a bystander

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.Mahatma Gandhi
I am for truth, no matter who tells it.

I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I'm not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win.

It is impressive the lack of news about Honduras also in the South American big media. Here also, very few people care. Though Brazil did a good job hosting Zelaya in the Embassy, giving hope for some resistance, it seems that the coup will prosper.
The big game is on, Oprah and Dr Phil is on so I don't care what happens in Latin lands. They exist to supply our bananas and cooley labor. I just updated my migration from the latrine to the family room on twitter! Now I am reading the Daily ME. Hint: *sarcasm*
@Carlo: it seems that the coup will prosper
I might be very mistaken here, but I don't think so. I think that the political capital of the golpistas might well be eroding and that is why they are resorting to such extreme measures. And then look - nobody in Latin America besides the prostitute government of Colombia has anything but aversion for this regime. Sure, Obama & Co. are fully backing the regime, but their capital is also not sky high and God only knows what kind of scandal can happen at the OAS and other regional organizations. I think that the coup regime is fucked, clearly sitting on their bayonettes as Napoleon said, and that they are mistaking 2009 with the 1970s.
Bottom line: the Hondurans need to start a real insurrection in every part of the country they can, town by town, the Zapatista way, while Zelaya needs to sit tight in the embassy. If the milicos storm the embassy that should be their political agony so I cannot imagine them doing so.
I want to be optimistic. Folks like Chavez and Morales have been leading by example for years now, and now it is time for the rest of Latin America to show some willpower and resolve and send the Yankees packing.
My 2cts.
I hope you are right, Saker.
Also, I found a very good interview with the de-facto president Micheletti, published in Argentina's Clarín:

Really interesting and worth reading.
@Carlo: do you by chance know of any good pro-Zelaya and opposition news sources on the Internet, preferably in Spanish? Are the shut down radio and TV stations streaming on the Internet, is there a Honduran "Radio Rebelde" or something similar I could listen to?
How about Bolivian, Venezuelan and Cuban radio and/or TV stations?
Thanks!

@Carlo: "Sacamos a Zelaya porque se fue a la izquierda, puso a comunistas"
Well, that sure has nothing to do with the Honduran Constitution, now does it?...
@Carlo: ¿No buscan ganar tiempo expulsando a la OEA?
Yo expulsaria a los EEUU :-)
Saker: I told you the interview was good. Micheletti confessed the true reasons behind the coup.
The best news agency in South America probably is Telesur (http://www.telesurtv.net/), founded 4 years ago by a Venezuelan iniciative, though it involves many South American countries. I don't have enough time now to follow all the news in Honduras, but I am pretty sure they are doing a very good coverage.
Rabid fascism worldwide it's called rule by corporations, bankers, and experts. The neo-feudalism is nothing new at all. Does anyone care? Not really. Like Wilde said god overestimated his ability when he created man.
