Honduras Could Be US
- One big question unanswered here: Are the hospital workers unionized?
- Second bigger question: What happens when the unions take over the medical staff under nationalized health care here in the USSA?
7.30 Senator asks Clinton to clarify policy...
From Honduras...
Not a coup..
Obama has shown his true colors amidst this unfolding story - standing on the side of the communist drug-lord dictators and against the action taken by the Honduran people under the authority of their constitution. Perhaps he is hopeful of reciprocating support should he find himself in similar circumstances to that of Zelaya.
Accounts of situation more completely and accurately reported abroad....
7.9 Financial Times
6.30 Al-Jazeera reports
6.28 Jerusalem Post
Discounting the views of "coup" held by the MSM....
7.19 Results from a referendum never held???? can anybody say "coup"?
7.10 Protecting their own
7.10 Republicans response to Obama
7.5 Heritage
7.3 American Thinker
7.3 Human Events
Just a thought, Obama....instead of imposing sanctions on the people for standing up for their constitutional rights, why not sanction all the members of the OAS for not stepping up to support the democratic efforts of the Honduran people. No doubt Chavez has representation among Zelaya'a '"supporters" . Wonder if COI has made the scene?
7/24/09 Zelaya returns (briefly)
7/26/09 Hovering around the border
If repealing term limits seems a little too familiar, refer to the following examples of communist dictatorships in the making...
Venezuela
Nicaragua's Ortega eyes recall, end to term limits
Zelaya per Al-Jazeera
Bolivia
Belarus
Kazakhstan
Meanwhile in the USSA......

The New Communist Manifesto
From a user post
Comments on “Manifesto of the Communist Party”, better known as the Communist Manifesto.
Below is English printing text that I have exerted from section 2 where Marx and Engels outline the 10 conditions that need to be in place before a transition from capitalism to communism and includes the paragraph that proceeds the tenets of communism.
“Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the mode of production.”
Wonder why our politicians seem to enact “measures” that have no basis in common sense and no hope of success. Ever wonder why our social programs go bankrupt and are rife with corruption? This paragraph says it all. The “measures” are suppose to be “insufficient and untenable” so to “necessitate” the next round of “unavoidable” “measures”.
“These measures will, of course, be different in different countries. Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.”
“1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.” This is the last and most difficult step and is usually immediately followed by mass murders. Example: Approximately 20 million Russian political opponents during the revolution.
“2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.”
We have had this since 1913 and the passing of the 16th amendment.
“3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.”
Ever heard of the death tax? In 2011 anything over 1 million dollars in inheritance will be taxed at 55%.
“4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.”
In the past emigrants and rebels were the first target of injustice because they were easy targets. Today emigrants and rebels tend to get a free pass because they help to destabilize the overtaxed the system.
“5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Wow, anyone read any news stories?
“6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.”
Alphabet soup of government agencies: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), TSA , US Customs, Department of Transportation (DOT), etc. I think they got this one covered.
“7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.”
GM now stands for Government Motors. Do I need to comment more?
“8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.”
In 2008 there were 16 million unionized workers in the US . That’s an army nearly 8 times larger than the People's Liberation Army of China. This army is armed with votes which is more effective than guns in this battle, and it has an effective and cohesive command and control structure that rivals any military force.
“9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.”
This goal has actually reversed. Since dense populations are easier to monitor and influence through surveillance and government programs/incentives it is more expedient to gather the population into a few densely populated areas. The modernization of agriculture and existence of migrant workers have assisted this urbanization.
“10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc”
This list was laid out with in reverse chronological order with 1 being the last and 10 coming first. The indoctrination and education of the coming generation remains the first and most important of the tenets of communism. This tenet is now complete with an entire generation of kids educated under federal guidelines. A generation that believes they are entitled to what another has worked for, a generation that believes that the government will save them with the next social program or regulation, and a generation that has never been taught to value the freedom that they will soon give away. Is there any reason this generation has become to be known as generation me?
