In spite of the divide between rich and poor, the rally held today, in favor of Zelaya’s ousting, has by far been the largest manifest of opinion we have seen, and is especially lauded for its lack of violence and for its large level of tolerance and diversity, as well as a show of patriotism an civic duty. It was especially gratifying to watch how Zelaya lied through his teeth at a hypocritical United Nations (officially christened and proven to be the world’s male tit) conference, while a parallel picture in picture showed demonstrators holding banners reading “Zelaya: we are Not Cuba, Not Venezuela, we are Honduras”, or cartoons demonstrating a rather lurid picture of Chávez being Zelaya’s dominatrix, holding him on a leash and stepping on his behind, in a gross show of sadomasochism. In other drawings, Chávez and Zelaya hold hands, reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain scenes of lone cowboys against the world; ironic, really, since both believe to be the epitome of machismo and hombre latino values.

Contrary to ‘protesters’ who burn tires and terrorize,the peaceful demonstration today is further proof that we as a society function well without Zelaya, and that his own supporters are the bellicose and aimless (politically speaking) ones, and furthermore, the minority, although Zelaya insists they are the whole of the country, the whole of El Pueblo Hondureño. Still, even as a minority they are deserving of a voice, but that voice does not do more than grunt. The ‘Real’ Pueblo is busy chanting the National Anthem, reading the Constitution (not entirely, i don’t think), and praising our worthiness.

Worthiness. Cannot President Obama see this? That we are worthy of our own opinion? That we can decide? That there is no supposed oligarchy which manipulates the poor (what a stupid and morose intellect could entertain such an idea?) except the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund? The people supporting Zelaya’s ousting are people who will not benefit from Zelaya’s return. People with businesses (not Corporations), stores, restaurants. If intellectuals are still on the left side, they are more a symptom of the Cancer which plagues contemporary art and society. No head or tail.

If we are placed an embargo, like Cuba, which is so ironic, so cynical of the US, to be supporting Cuba, we become Obama’s  scapegoat for his lack of competence as an innovator in US Foreign Policy (re: Iran), and Honduras will become the next Haiti. Which, granted, we are close to being, but isn’t that the point? Zelaya was doing fuck all to prevent that? Perhaps Michelletti is not JFK, but he is surely better than having a clown like Zelaya, and legally appointed by us.

We regret that violent measures took place, but Zelaya’s rant about nothing, which was a mockery of justice, peace, law and order, did nothing to augment anyone’s guilt. Perhaps we should have sent him straight to jail here, the National Penitentiary, and see how long he lasts there. His goons, if Obama’s treacherous plans go through, are fine burning tires, terrorizing people, making everyone nervous (but not for long). They get a government paycheck for it. Meanwhile, small business owners fear for their welfare.

Your guns are blazing Zelaya, but better aim before firing, because if you miss, there’s several lead pieces with YOUR NAME written all over them. And we want all hell to break loose now. If the world will refuse to listen to reason, so will we. Fasten your seat bealt and return your seat to an upright position before landing. It’s going to be a bit bumpy.

Believe it, cowboy.
