RED ALERT!!!
This post is horribly past due. It’s also possibly premature, but it’s got to happen. I hope you like the music I added to enhance your reading experience.
HAPPY DAY of The DEAD! Welcome all of you vampire loving misfits of the night.
As I observe in the dark, that which is unjust comes to light.

It seems The Washington Post’s headlines are the ones that always grab me first.
So, I’m reading, reading, reading, and then, I stumble onto an interesting fact. What would Chevron want with 8 million pounds of Uranium (they dug out of a Nevada mine) between 1986 and 89? Oh yeah, the other energy crisis. But, well, what did Chevron do with that Uranium in all this time?
This is indignant, the way the governments treat people as herds to create waves with scare tactics just so they can run and change their bets on the securities spinning wheel.
To All the Great Companies that Killed Me,
You are ugly, what you make is ugly, you are nothing but worthless whores who grow glassy eyed over a flammable treasure. And so the wealth and the riches, let them be yours, I want them not. But, I’ll not have you poison everything around me that is free. Yes, you can have your polluted, pasturized, pathetic, plastic lives.
Try to remember that 1212 2012 is the end of a civilization, not the end of time or the world. It will be the time of magnificent transformation from slavery to freedom. Freedom from the chains of the beast. People will see and learn more of it’s non-importance. The beast that holds your house up, the beast that makes life go faster. The beast that can flutter your very heart. How it toys with you so. What is this beast you wonder?
I ask then, what is it that you won’t let go of?
Shed your riches!
Make it powerful!
Make it known!

Well of course, the little guys learn from the big guys what is acceptable treatment of detainees. If the US can do it, why not Honduras? Oh wait a minute, wait a minute, aren’t these coup guys the same guys from the US? No, that’s not exactly right. We’ll check in to the payroll of the coup and see if it’s a US funded torture sport.
Whoa, there little doggy! You seem to be letting the ride take hold of you there, now where are your facts to support this?
Right here, sir.

Okay, I take a look at this video and see the supporters are all wearing Fruit of the Loom clothing. They probably all work for an American or Multi-national company, and they are experiencing an economic boom. Is this staged to get the troops over there to back one of these parties? These are just questions I’m asking off the top of my head here, I need to find info on demographics, companies operating in that region and what is the peoples real hope? In this story the President was immediately ushered out seemingly for talking to President Hugo Chavez. What does that tell you? (I gotta take a breath.) More trouble for the American economy. It looks completely staged, if not, the people are seduced by the economic growth model but still feel a duty to hold on to their rights to democracy and the laws of their constitution. And it all started over some heat between a rich rancher and the military?

these picture show a more sincere crowd of protesters. I mean there’s a mob.
According to the US State Department website, there are 150 US companies operating in Honderas. The country receives 38 billion in aid packages from US organizations including USAID. There they are again and when the information comes out in John Perkins new book, Hoodwinked, this November 10, we will know more about the Wiki-pedia dispute. What’s important to note is the timing of this coup in June 2009 and the operations behind it. Basically I would think that with such strong ties with the US both economically and militarily, the country’s military operates sort of like a private security firm, which of course as we all know, usually defends businesses in general, not citizens, unless they are filthy rich.
In this article, http://www.anarkismo.net/article/13758, reporter Katherine at CAWN, ( a women’s organization states that several women from the export processing factories are being made to go on marches in support of the de facto government, which should indicate who is supporting the de facto regime but beware of the flipside. The export processing factories are wealthy businesses (whose owners don’t live there) in Honduras. As we have seen so clearly lately, corporations contribute to much, if not all to the current political strife in any country and whomever is running the business there is usually the one doing the pushing around of people.
Big business and multi nationals (the Corporatacracy) are working the current trade system to make a profit and if the rules look like they might change, it’s easy to see where certain measures might be taken to try and curtail the impact on their profits. But the people are getting wiser, certainly in Honduras and hopefully more so in America. American citizens need to realize that they lost jobs to the less expensive labor and regulations of Central America, while the US Government is heavy handed in also helping these Governments and businesses disregard human rights and look more toward the profit in other countries where US citizens would have far greater rights and demand higher wages. If America supports the corporations in Honduras and continue to allow an overthrow of their elected regimes anytime it disagrees with the motion of change, it will certainly give itself away as the psychopathic entity that it is.

from today’s AP (very different description of events leading to Zelaya’s arrest)
One thing I found odd was the variance in description of Honduras military forces, security forces, armed forces in all of these different articles regarding the same subject. In a DemocracyNow.org telephone interview with Zelaya, he was asked directly, “Who is behind these forces?” trying to discover who is sending these troops to surround the Brazilian Embassy. Well, we should all know how interconnected the Honduras military is to the US and UK by now. Read up…
If Americans really believe that they will continue to have the same rights on down the road, or tomorrow if they continue to allow this to occur, they should rewind their reality watch, it seems to have stopped ticking. More and more jobs are being offered by multi-nationals in the US and for much less in wages than the older generation is use to and there is no local receptionist anymore at the front that you can try to charm your way into that ten dollar an hour position. You will have to pass a drug test and psychological and background checks. I also suspect if the medical reform is ever made into law, it would be idea to cross reference your medical records with background check records to see is you are a viable risk to hire. Watch the rise of security services every where.
And that’s why I support the UNFCCCUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, not because I’m worried about flooding and warmer temperatures, hell no, bring it on, I got my surfboard ready. I support climate change initiatives to lower projected GHG (Green House Gases) because it’s time that the people took back the right to their homelands, heritage, and sacred grounds and grow their own grass roots governments instead of handing it over to a controlling corporate community. They need to demand from these companies a more responsible and fairer representation for human and environmental life. Geez, these companies, that’s all they talk about in their ads, is peaceful, green living and helping others. But, these ads appear to be lies of all kinds. I personally do not allow them in my presence too often and certainly not regularly. I think billboard ads are ugly too, they ruin the skyline in every portrait of a sunset.
But could COP15 be just that, bigger Government? A much bigger government? A World Government? Well, we already have a world government body, it is the United Nations and it is taking the lead in America’s policy making back home, specifically in negotiating trade laws. In fact for the last several decades, since the League of Nations was formed, it has grown, become more empowered and with the help of internet media and user generated journals, vibrantly vocal.
Yes, COP15 will and has already shifted wealth, from that of oil based economies to the efforts to support sustainable ones. Globe International and TERI University, MIT and Google alumni and 192 nations are at the forefront and many wealthy of oil would like to destroy this effort. The Copenhagen Treaty is a whopper of a deal and will change the rules significantly on how humans relate to the world. Since the rise of the industrial age, oil has reigned the supreme leader in the world of profits and has done so in a very exploitative manner by incorporating over sized conglomerate corporations into small developing countries and creating severely biased governmental bodies. The President of Brazil made a statement in a video featured on globeinternational.org’s website,
“in developing countries we wouldn’t want to oblige them to unduly exploit their natural resources. It is a balance between economy and social justice”
more on COP15 and UNFCCC in a later post. Back to Honduras…
The Miami Herald
http://www.webcitation.org/5jb00TM3J
has some good info on the coup in question and some hard legal facts. It is an issue for the law in Honduras to show it is a strong democracy. And although their military is trained by the US and supplied by the US, UK and India, the relationships between the working class civilians and rich ranchers are vastly separated. Sounds like similar times from Africa.
