For a second day in a row, deposed Honduras ex-president Manuel Zelaya traveled to the Nicaraguan border with Honduras, surrounded by several dozen supporters and accompanied by his Venezuelan handler, 
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro. Perhaps a hundred or so backers, including his wife Xiomara, were stopped by Honduran police from meeting Mr. Zelaya at the border.
The ex-president arrived at the crossing point at Las Manos, briefly lifted the chain that separates Honduras from neighboring Nicaragua and went a step into Honduran territory, but never ventured any farther inside. He spoke on a cell phone and even had a brief private conversation with the military commander at the scene, Lt. colonel Luis Recartes, before stepping back into Nicaragua..jpg)
While the Honduran police and military have refrained from using unnecessary force in dealing with the at times unruly protesters at the border, a police officer suffered a head wound yesterday from a rock thrown by the Zelaya supporters. In an apparently unrelated incident, the body of a Zelaya supporter was found in a field near the border crossing site. According to the Associated Press, the man died from a stab wound.
Meanwhile, another massive demonstration against his return to power took place in the city of San Pedro Sula, where a multitude in the tens of thousands gathered. Photographs of the event are included in the accompanying slide show.
Also, today a delegation of U.S. members of Congress traveled to Honduras on a fact-finding mission. The group will meet with government representatives, as well as members of the business community and leaders of the various political parties. The names of the members of the delegation has not been made public. However, Florida Congressman Connie Mack is among those traveling. According to my own confidential sources, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is also expected to travel to Honduras.
While Zelaya is scheduled to travel to Washington early next week, a group of Honduran organizations in the United States has scheduled a demonstration in front of the White House against ex-president Zelaya and will ask the Obama Administration to withdraw its support for the deposed president.

just more IDIOTIC propaganda from you again. what's for show is this kabuki theater that you're oligarchic nazis put up every day here and elsewhere.
I am sorry that photographs of thousands of Hondurans rejecting the Zelaya-Chavez cabal makes you so unnerved that you must proffer insults at me. As they say, facts are very stubborn things, and these photos don't lie. But thank you for your comment, anyway.
Thank you, Blas Padrino, for another excellent article based on FACTS rather than on the propaganda from Castro and Chavez parroted by most of the mainstream media!
Obama, by siding with the criminal Marxist thug Zelaya, and Clinton, by offering the deceitful Oscar Arias as "mediator," are and will be responsible for any violence in Honduras along with Chavez and Zelaya. Zelaya said he’s ready to “risk bloodshed” to regain control!
Chavez/Zelaya staged the propaganda show where a young man was killed. Chavez’s “turbas” (“ACORN-type community organizers”), mostly from other countries such as Nicaragua, incited “supporters” to violence. And Chavez’s Telesur and “media” (propaganda) people where there to stage and broadcast the propaganda.
Most of Zelaya “supporters” were paid poor people. Each “supporter” on a motorcycle was paid 300 lempiras (US$15.84) a day plus gas. Farmers acting as “supporters” are being paid 250 lempiras (US$13.20) a day.
The U.S. should be supporting Hondurans and the rule of law, NOT Zelaya, a Chavez clone sending drugs to the U.S. and enslaving Hondurans!
It's terrifying for freedom-loving people in Latin America and all over the world to see that, rather than defending the human rights of Hondurans and Latin Americans, the Obama administration is siding with the Marxist thugs who are trampling on human rights and working with drug cartels and Islamic terrorist to destroy the U.S.!
I guess it was to be expected from Obama. As his parents, relatives, friends and mentors, Obama is a Marxist who hates the U.S. As such, he sides with Marxist dictators and would-be dictators who seek to enslave their countries and destroy the U.S.
Zelaya was implementing in Honduras the scheme devised by Castro and implemented by Chavez and the rest of the Marxist thugs to gain absolute power. Now Chavez and Zelaya have Oscar Arias, whom they can use as a "democratic" front to enslave Hondurans.
As per British author Gerald Warner, "… Obama has a soft spot for socialists, hence his insane cosying-up to the Bolivarian fruitcakes. He has invented a brand new kind of foreign policy: supporting regimes that are violently anti-American. Call it neo-masochism.
“Obama has reversed the Monroe Doctrine as well as the definition of “democracy”. In supporting the megalomaniac dictators who are trying to drag Latin America into the year 1917, he is mouthing the same claptrap as Miguel D’Escoto Brockman, president of the UN General Assembly and former lieutenant of Ortega in the Sandinista dictatorship, and Miguel Insulza, Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) and Fidel Castro’s champion...."
We would like to contratulate Congressman Connie Mack and all courageous U.S. leaders who are not Marxists like Obama and are ready to defend Hondurans and Americans from the Marxist thugs who seek to enslave Hondurans and destroy the U.S.
Does Obama want Zelaya reinstated in Honduras so Zelaya and Chavez can continue using Honduras for drug trafficking against the U.S.? Honduran Foreign Minister Enrique Ortez revealed that Zelaya allowed Chavez’s cocaine to roll into Honduras from Venezuela before heading to the U.S.
"Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds . . . and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking," Ortez told CNN En Español. "We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it."
What the heck is this thug Zelaya travelling with this idiotic of a thug Madero from Venezuela !!! Do they really think the people of Honduras are that weak and stupid. Madero you better hope nobody takes you up in the banana field at the border and shows you a banana or two. You idiot go back where you belong with your papa Chavez !!!!
Hey AntonioSosa, every other President whose opined on this has spoken against the coup... so are they all marxists as well?
Anyway I'm debating whether Zelaya should be imprisoned or placed in a mental inst. Clearly with what he is doing at the border and the insane, non-sensical demands he is making of the US and latin america, he has lost his mind. My suspicion is that Ortega's wife (who happens to run Nicaragua and is renowned for practicing witchcraft) must've done some sort of voodoo spells on the guy. I think even Chavez might start to dissociate from him. He's done. best he can do is try to negotiate with Michelletti for immunity, (which Michelletti would be wrong to grant given Mel's weak negotiating position) and build an opposition party in Honduras. It would be dangerous for Honduras to have Mel go back as a free man. No negotiations should be granted, if he steps over, throw him in jail... or inst. for the mentally ill, it would be the easiest insanity plea ever.
hahaha by the way brilliant picture of Michelletti as Russell Crowe. He has been brilliant and courageous throughout this whole thing. Any thoughts on his political future in Honduras?
you don't nothing of Honduras
