Honduras is fortunate to have the Constitutional allegiance of a courageous and highly professional judiciary. The interim and de jure Micheletti government and the Congress are also under astounding duress from corrupt international actors including the UN, the USA, and the OAS, who are attempting to intimidate Honduras into destroying their own lawful Constitution. Their great courage to date of these people is an example to all who value true freedom, which is only available under the true Rule of Law.

Events in Honduras since late June of 2009 are being widely and unfairly misrepresented as a military coup. The military did not oust Zelaya, the Supreme Court did pursuant to the institution of legal proceedings and evidence laid before them.

In fact, Mr. Zelaya ousted himself by the very terms of the Constitution he swore to uphold. The Supreme Court merely acted to make good those terms.

Mr. Zelaya perjured his public oath to uphold the Constitution by attempting to usurp the constitutional powers of another branch of government; by deliberately attempting to contravene specific provisions of the Constitution; by inciting insurrection and by seducing naive people to violence against their fellow citizens in an effort to overthrow the Constitutional majority of Honduras by force.

If Mr. Zelaya disagrees with the measures ordered by the Supreme Court of Honduras pursuant to legal proceedings taken under the Constitution, then why did he not retain the professional services of a lawyer to mount a constitutional challenge?

Instead, Mr. Zelaya engaged the services of a frequently violent mob, apparently largely supported by communists and a major North American illegal drug supplier.
