Perhaps my last post was not as clear as it could be regarding my position on the Coup in Honduras.

I believe, any unilateral proclamation or law regulating a "sphere of influence," beyond the borders of the USA has got to offend other governments, otherwise they would have signed on to an agreement.

I am with all those who oppose direct US intervention in Honduras, and I hope that any Central and South American conflicts now or in the future are handled via the OAS, the UN or some other multilateral organization.

Everyone of the ill conceived so called "police" operations by the US marines and other US or contracted agencies or contracted groups, individuals, or make believe "freedom fighters", etc... including official and "covertly" sanctioned operations against Cuba, have been justified by the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. Few have had the intended results.

The problem has been that the protection of US Business Interests (Banksters) in the Western Hemisphere have always overshadowed any real concern for democracy or human rights. And, not only political, but economic assassins have been employed to assure big profits for the Banksters.

Today, the US government has created a similar Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, of course with a different cover name, and aimed it directly at the People of the United States of America. The hard won Freedoms and Bill of Rights, once the rule of law in the United States, have now taken a back seat to Business Interests, the Banksters, as represented by AIG, and any other institution claiming to be "to big to fail."

Wake up America. We need Main Street, not Wall Street in control of our economy, we need small family farms, not agricultural conglomerates, and ma an pa stores instead of Wal-Marts. Sorry for the rant, but I believe the US is eating itself up with it's own ill conceived foreign policies.

The 1904 Roosevelt Corollary to the 1823 Monroe Doctrine

"This (1904) amendment (to the Monroe Doctrine) was designed to preclude violation of the doctrine by European powers that would ultimately argue that the independent nations were “mismanaged or unruly”.[4]
Critics[who?], however, argued that the Corollary simply asserted U.S. domination in that area, essentially making them a "hemispheric policeman."[citation needed] To this day, it is hard to argue that the Western Hemisphere is not entirely a United States sphere of influence.[4]

NOTE: Leaked to Buenos Aires daily "La Nacion," and some wire services... is the possibility that President Zelaya would be entering Honduras from the south with an international "armed" escort. I do not know the validity of this report. but I would advise all to stay clear of all borders on this Saturday

Here are a couple reports found on internet. There are many more.
