Dear Colleague,

Narco News continues its extensive coverage and analysis of the coup in Honduras and the actions being taken by the de facto coup “government.” Al Giordano writes about one of these recent actions of the coup regime, where it effectively cut of 65-percent of its annual budget when they decided to leave the Organization of American States (OAS), likely to trigger, next week, the full cut-off of aid from the US and other international organisms.

Giordano reports:

“Last night, around 10 p.m. Tegucigalpa time, CNN Español interrupted its sports news programming for a live press conference announcement (‘no questions, please’) by coup ‘president’ Micheletti.

“There, he announced that his coup ‘government’ of Honduras is withdrawing from the Democratic Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS). The Friday night press conference was meant to preempt this morning’s OAS meeting in Washington (at which various heads of state, including Presidents Cristina Kirchner of Argentina and Rafael Correa of Ecuador deemed important enough to attend) where the OAS will surely expel the Honduras coup regime for its flagrant violations of said Democratic Charter. Thus, the late Friday night press conference to say ‘You can’t fire us! We quit!’

“…But something else is at work: Greedy people don’t just cast away 65 percent of their national budget unless they believe they can get it from other sources.

“One of the big backers of the coup d’etat has been an international terrorist network of ex-Cubans, who have financed the dirty work of jet plane bomber Luis Posada Carriles over the years and have set up business interests in Honduras. These forces are desperate now that Washington is making the moves to ease and end the embargo of Cuba. Investigative journalist Guy Jean-Allard reports, via TeleSur, that Ralph Nodarse – ex-Cuban owner of Channel 6 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras – and arms-and-drug trafficker Rafael Hernández Nodarse are knee deep behind he coup-plotters in Honduras. The latter aided and abetted Posada Carriles to hide out in Panama in 2004.”
