In2the multiple tridents of the Honduras crisis

This has been a rough draft for a number of days. Sadly I think the finished product will come off rather rough still. I apologize for that in advance.

Here we go….

You see there really is so much that hasn’t been explored about this issue. The reason the OAS is doing what it is doing,Hugo and of course Obama. Europes reaction is based on a simple point that NOBODY has touched on. Every entity involved has in my view three things min. going for it,hence the trident word choice.

Honduras: (1) And by that I mean the sitting Micheletti government. The courts,legislature and military had a vested interest in getting ahead of the curve on ridding itself of it’s budding Bolivarian. Although some of the rarer and better reporting explores the thought that they should’ve waited till either the 11/29 election or January transfer of power these were critical deadlines the constitutional officers felt were to far away. I believe they legitimately feared a constitutional destabilizing action by Zelaya and his allies (including Chavez) over that short time and acted with extreme decisiveness. (2) It wasn’t a coup ! It was action, albeit extreme, sanctioned by the legislature and courts. The military is not in control,the civilians are. The unrest on the streets is understandable,and people in a country that riot after NBA championships should appreciate that fuller than the sheeple effect shows currently.(3) I would alert those that point to the violence as indicative of Michaletti & Co. being repressive and the Honduran people outraged to another reality. The international response of isolation actually hurts the Honduran people and they know it. Fear and loathing of starvation and other hardships shouldn’t be seen as vocal support of Zelaya and the OAS pussies.

OAS: (1) Politically motivated to capitalize on the perceived renewed relevancy of Latin America the OAS is staffed by a group in urgent need of a headline event. Boom Honduras. Evidenced by the recent voting on Cuban inclusion the OAS is feeling it’s cohones even if they refuse to aim it’s new found manhood at the threat that is Hugo. Hence they are pussies. (2) The other points for the OAS are interwoven so as to appear one. Perhaps they are. Bottomline they cannot truly or symbolically thrust off the yoke of gringo imperialism until they do something like they’re doing now. Cuba and now Honduras offer a ying yang thing for them. On Cuba they overtly shun the thoughts of Washington. They showed a unity the people in the member states gobble up. (3) On Honduras due to Obamas idiotic response they appear as a reaffirmed international player standing against an evil. ITS FUCKING HONDURAS PEOPLE !!!!!!! Honduras is a wag the dog moment for the OAS and it’s a pathetic showing.

USA: (1) Unity as opposed to unilateral. This isn’t Afghanistan or Iraq and we blindly, sheepishly fell in line with the world order. We fail to remind ourselves that we’re still just pissing on the brown man and that his impoverished nation has always been pretty good to us. No thinking involved this is all window dressing diplomacy. Unthinking and uncaring. Way to go Barry. (2) The second trident is directed at Latin America. This one appears on the surface to be a tell for greater respect of Latin America. The problem is the new respect policy towards LA (not started by Obama btw) has failed to properly calculate the differences between us. I feel we still look at the region as one entity. Hate to say it but that’s just some serious ignorant gringoism there. LA is a collection of sovereign states with diverse cultures and histories. We have definite friends down there that if we truly respect and engage we will experience a mutual benefit unseen in a long time. We also have enemies. These too are posing a mutual angle. A mutual threat. Unlike the days of stability for stability sake though that saw us support the killers in El Salvador and Chile etc. these threats are faced by good leaders that deserve our support. (3) Somewhat related. Barack Obama needs wins in the media cycle. I imagine he viewed this as an easy one. He has however abdicated his leadership on this and now the USA will again reap what it has sown.

EU: (1) Here comes the theme. It isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan. Or North Korea or Iran. The EU has had an immediate and heavy response on this little nation and it’s because the EU is a bunch of pussies. Shameful. (2) Reassertion of relevancy. This is huge seeing as the EU has essentially been violating the Monroe Doctrine to a degree for the 21st century. For trade purposes primarily and definitely some political reasons the EU members are keen to offer a different taste than the USA to the nations of Latin America. Stew on that for awhile and remember it comes at the expense of one of the poorest nations in this hemisphere.(3) I’ll go cheap for the third. Reread number two ‘cuz it’s huge and has individual applications and tentacles etc.

Hugo: This fucker is in a win win situation almost anytime I see his fat ass. He helped cause the situation then gets to say he’ll stay out since his is not an interventionist nation. OMG!!!! Did he issue that before or after the mobilization of his military forces ? Am I to believe along with my fellow thinkers that Danny O in the Nic’ has had no coaching/coaxing on putting his army on alert on the border ? Was it just a big ole coinky dink that the pilots in the failed return of Z were from Venezuela ? Obama plays yet again into a Chavez media trap,by that I of course mean Venezuela propaganda fest. Chavez gets legit street cred on the international scene even though he’s got the Ve constitution tied to his bed posts where he rapes it repeatedly. Awesome. OAS on that ? The Bolivarian Revolucion will be televised ! And seeing as Hugo routinely pulls licenses of Venezuelan media sources he could use a piece of the Honduran pie. The formula is still there and the ingredients sadly plentiful still. There’s got to be three in there somewhere.

the Media: And by that I mean the ones the average yankee is exposed to. The media isn’t really trying on this which is why “in his pajamas to a plane for Costa Rica…” was repeated ad nauseam. Now it appears they are siding with the internationals that are putting forth the false cause that Honduras has no right to their sovereignty. The media humps may wake up a bit if someone gets brutally murdered but I doubt it. They made their minds long ago the region wasn’t the sexy chic story line unless it’s about festivals,tourism,drugs or bikini waxing.
