Let's be clear, Obama has sided with socialists and left-wing groups his entire adult life. He brought that propensity into the office of the US President. He is backing the Marxist Zelaya in Honduras.
Brazil is blatantly using it's embassy to side with Zelaya.
Honduras is on the verge of civil violence and the blood will be on the hands of Obama and his left wing soul brothers. It is a disgusting and shameful exposure of the true Barack Hussein Obama.
It is being reported in this Tico Times article that:
"Concerned for the safety of embassy officials, the Brazilian government has asked the United States for protection if necessary, something the northern superpower seems willing to give."
I find it hard to believe that the US military will be misused to protect Brazil's interference in an internal Honduran affair, but we shall soon see.

U.S. prepared to back Brazil in Honduran crisis
By Chrissie Long
Tico Times Staff
Planes in Honduras have been grounded and the de facto government is extending curfews, hoping to stem violent outbreaks following the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
Meanwhile, Roberto Micheletti, the former congressional president who assumed the presidency in Zelaya's absence, encouraged Hondurans to remain strong and “not to lower their guard,” according to a Tuesday article in the Honduran daily La Prensa. He also said he won't chase down Zelaya, who is holed up in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital.
The deposed president, who was marched out of his home at gunpoint on June 28, arrived at Brazil's embassy on Monday and has been broadcasting messages to his supporters from a Venezuelan television station.
Thousands of Zelaya supporters, who gathered outside the embassy to cheer on the ousted leader, clashed with police who, according to Human Rights Watch, used “excessive force” while attempting to disperse the crowd.
Concerned for the safety of embassy officials, the Brazilian government has asked the United States for protection if necessary, something the northern superpower seems willing to give.
“I am sure we will provide assistance, but we are in the midst of discussions on how to do so,” said Ian Kelly, White House spokesman, in a press conference on Tuesday. “It's a very sensitive situation and we don't want to get into the details (of what actions we will take) … but we are willing to offer our help.”
The U.S. Embassy, which was closed Tuesday for reasons relating to the uncertain political situation, posted a message on its Web site that a decision to reopen “will be taken during the course of the day.” Meanwhile, the embassy urged U.S. citizens living in Honduras to register with the embassy. (The U.S. State Department will be post the latest security information on its Web site).
French residents living in Honduras were warned to “stay in and not to move until further notice” in a message appearing on the French Embassy's Web site on Tuesday.
“This is a situation that could play out in many different ways,” said Luis Guillermo Solís, political analyst and former professor at the University of Costa Rica. “But it's a good opportunity for the parties to reshape the negotiations, as the situation has caused both sides to become seemingly radicalized.”
With the international community (except Panama) unwilling to recognize the November elections and Micheletti consequently turning his back on the lead mediator, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, the situation was becoming increasingly tense daily. But Zelaya may have opened a window of opportunity, Solís said.
“It would be a shame if a four-month crisis turned into a four-year problem,” he told The Tico Times. “One would have hoped that the elections would be a way out of the crisis, but that is not possible if there is no agreement (between the Honduran government and the outside world).
“If there's no agreement, there's no guarantee that the elections in November would be fair and transparent,” Solís added.
Honduras should break off ties with Brazil, and send their diplomats packing. Then arrest Zelaya when he comes outside.

ReplyDeleteI thought this was kind of cute:
ReplyDeleteWhen: 1960s
What: Midway through the Cold War, American leaders began to worry that a rogue US officer might launch a small, unauthorized strike, prompting massive retaliation. So in 1962, Robert McNamara ordered every nuclear weapon locked with numerical codes.
Effect: None. Irritated by the restriction, Strategic Air Command set all the codes to strings of zeros. The Defense Department didn't learn of the subterfuge until 1977.
That's the Generals "I" learned to love, and ridicule.

Fidel Castro praises Obama on climate change
ReplyDeleteBy PAUL HAVEN (AP) – 18 minutes ago
HAVANA — Barack Obama's call for action on climate change and his admission that rich nations have a particular responsibility to lead has received strong praise from an unusual source — U.S. nemesis Fidel Castro.
Obama also was praised by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin earlier this month for canceling parts of a missile defense system that Moscow had viewed as a threat to its security. Putin called the move a "right and brave decision."

ReplyDeleteThe Old Man and the Sea of Oil
9/15/2009
By LIAM DENNING Oil bulls are putting their faith in an old man and a little boy. They hope the former, septuagenarian Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi, is right in saying there has been "a fundamental change" in the oil market. They hope the latter, the weather pattern called El Niño, "the boy," will go easy on them.
Mr. Naimi, speaking ahead of last week's summit for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was trying to draw attention from extraordinarily high oil inventories, emphasizing instead that the global economy is recovering.
Mr. Naimi's language, with shades of a "new paradigm," should unnerve bulls. So should market data.
It is true that oil prices kept climbing even as inventories rose, which is odd. Fears of "peak oil," the impact of Chinese demand and inflation helped fuel interest in futures contracts, pushing up forward prices. The resulting contango, in which near-term contracts are cheaper than contracts for delivery in the future, made it extraordinarily profitable to buy crude, store it and sell it forward. Assuming 80% leverage, a 3% cost of debt, and 50 cents a barrel per month in storage costs, buying physical crude and selling it 12 months forward netted returns above 50% as recently as April.
The danger comes when, as now, the forward curve flattens. The contango has narrowed by roughly half since late July, with the 12-month contract now trading about $5 above front-month oil. Using the assumptions above, the trade now generates a loss of 18%. Sure enough, inventories in the U.S., which uses a quarter of all oil, have fallen since early August, although they remain high.
Absent a "V-shaped" economic recovery, therefore, the risk is of a glut of inventories being liquidated. Certainly, the strength of crude prices isn't translating into better refining margins, which have weakened around the world, a sign that final demand is lacking. Valero Energy, America's largest independent refiner by capacity, last week announced more shutdowns.
A big worry, now that summer is almost over, is the overhang in distillates, primarily diesel and fuel oil. U.S. refiners usually switch output to distillate from gasoline as winter approaches. But with distillate inventories almost a quarter higher than the five-year average, there is little incentive to run refineries all out. That means less demand for crude.
El Niño, which can mean mild winters in North America, could exacerbate this. The Climate Prediction Center last week said that El Niño would strengthen through fall and winter.
OPEC may well have to revisit its optimistic view on inventories. Yet OPEC's compliance with earlier production cuts has dropped to 66% in July from 83% in March. The cartel's willingness to forgo more revenue by cutting output could be all that stands in front of a big move downward in oil prices this winter.
just let's work towards freedom in this county so that their people can stay there or go back to their homeland...this would make them happy.
