Honduran Home Owners/Investors Not Pleased With Obama Administration’s Apparent Support For Manuel Zelaya?

Just received this email from a local Realtor who invests in Honduras and wanted to share. Honduras has been a hotbed for vacation home construction, well-dotted with second homes of the locally flush. Ditto neighboring Costa Rica. According to this observer, who is boots on the ground in the country, the U.S. should support the new “illegal” government of Honduras over Manuel Zelaya. Latest news reports indicate baby steps to end the standoff but make no mention of 40 million in cash MIA : 

“Hi, I hope everyone is well.

This is what has been happening now:

All T.V. and radio stations have been connected to a government broadcast,
they have been doing this throughout the afternoon.  It appears that they
found out that Mel Zelaya’s ex-presidency minister, Enrique Flores Lanza
with a presidential order withdrew in his name, sometime between June 20th
and 28th, Lps. 40,000,000.00 in cash from Honduras’Central Bank’s vault.

The government broadcast is calling for anyone that has received this money
to return it to the public ministry office, and no questions will be asked.
If the money is not returned, they warn that they know the serial numbers on
the notes, and so they will be able to confiscate and detain anyone with it.

It is believed that this money is being used to buy support for the ousted
president.  There are several witnesses, they say that the money was taken
in bags in a wheelbarrow.

My comment here is that it is very evident that all of these followers are
in this for something.  They are not democratic, they all wear red (comunist
color), and are walking around with sticks, pipes and rocks.  Some even
cover their faces.  -These people do not represent the people of honduras
that Mel Zelaya talks about over and over.  He makes it sound like everyone
here is suffering because he is gone, and that the military is oppresing the
people.  That is a true lie.  The only reason why the military have to be
called is because Mel’s band of thugs is walking around the streets with
sticks, pipes, and rocks dressed in comunist colors.

I compare Mel’s pals to Hitler’s buddies, they are tight friends that are
still around here causing trouble, and added to this, the fact that Chavez
and his boys are also coaching the operation. 

I think that the U.S. intervention or non-intervention will be the
determining factor.  I do not know if they want to get involved.  So far
they keep insisting that they will not listen to an illegal government, they
do not see (or do not want to see) that this “illegal government” is
stopping comunism and setting an example. They are even helping Zelaya’s
family.

Please remember that as the U.S. stays quiet, Chavez, his buddies, and Mel
and his friends the crooks, are working hard to make this heroic effort
fail, and it is a shame.

I will keep you all posted of everything I can.  Good night, and I am sorry
if I wrote anything that is not in accordance to your belief on the subject.”
