Chet Thomas, a missionary with over 30 years on the field, and the leader of the Global Village Project, has launched a new blog named Help Honduras Now. His first post is very promising.

UPDATE: there are some inaccuracies in the blog post, read Pete’s comment below.

These are the last four lines of the Honduran national anthem.

Defendiendo tu santa bandera,
y en sus pliegues gloriosos cubiertos
Seran muchos Honduras tus muertos,
pero todos caerán con honor

Translation:

Defending your holy banner
And covered in its glorious draperies
Your dead, Honduras, will be many
But all will fall with honor

Now compare with the US national anthem:

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave

The final words of both of these anthems are extremely relevant to the current situation in Honduras. When Chávez threatens an invasion disguised as a civil war, and the US does nothing, our dead, Honduras will be many, and the Star Spangled Banner will still wave, but will it wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

What the US feared for so many decades has come to pass, and almost no one seems to see it. Apart from Mexico, Canada and the US, the Americas are almost completely taken over by thinly veiled communism. Stalin and Khrushchev would be proud.

But few people see it, or few people seem to care. Not even the President of the US.

As usual, Chávez projects the language he wants the media to use a few days before he attacks. For instance if war erupts in Honduras, it wouldn’t be a civil war, but a proxy war. But Chávez called it a civil war, and Oscar Arias echoed him. Victory.

Chávez, using his puppets Ortega and Zelaya, would set up an “insurgency” to attack the new government, and claim that the resistance is from Honduran citizens. Remember Iraq anyone? Iran and Syria sent their fighters to Iraq to destabilize the weak democratic regime there.

A Civil War would be that a leader inside our country would lead a conventional military war against the government, using Honduran troops.

Manuel Zelaya paid his supporters handsomely for going out in the street in his favor. Here is the security footage of the removal of 40 million Lempiras, some of whose serial numbers were traced to bags of cash used by members of the Zelaya government to pay supporters. Allegedly also, a 500 Lempira note found on the body of Isis Obed Murillo, the young man killed at the airport, was from this 40 million Lempira heist.

The above is another, perhaps clearer, explanation of the series of events that led to Zelaya’s removal from office. Please help spread this video to as many people as possible.
