Zelaya and Chavez want Honduras back

Below is a translation of an editorial piece written by Latin American political strategist and writer, Héctor Ygonet Céspedes. Although Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Zelaya, Lobo, Chavez, all sound so far away for those of us living in the United States, Europe, or even further out, these are places and names that sooner or later could have repercussions on our global peace.

The world needs to know that despite Honduras’ attempt to remain democratic, defending its true democracy at all costs, Chavez and his henchman, Zelaya, remain active at plotting against it.

Héctor Ygonet Céspedes has reliable sources that have prompted him to publish the write-up I’m translating here. He wants the world to know what is in the plans for the usual thugs: Chavez, Castro and Zelaya. After all, at the end of June it’ll be the one-year anniversary since Zelaya was fired for his illegal actions against the government and the people of Honduras, as he tried to imitate the Chavez template for long-term dictatorship.

It wouldn’t be a surprise, if at the one-year-anniversary mark, Chavez and Zelaya would attempt to “take the country back”. Honduras President, Pepe Lobo, just announced this week he found out there is a plot in the making to overthrow him. I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that Zelaya is salivating to return to power, despite the illegality of a second presidency. I wouldn’t doubt it if Chavez and the Castro brothers are behind this. I would only hope that this time the OAS and the UN do the right thing and side with true democracy and not with those communist USA-hating nuts, Chavez and Castro.

I hope the right people read this, investigate it and shed the public light on this. We can’t let Zelaya disrupt the new democratic government of Honduras, and allow this small but important country become one more stone in Chavez’ path to ease his drugs, terror and weapons cartel into Mexico and the United States.

So, here are the wise words of a man who sees the danger and is sounding the alarm.

A coupe against Porfirio Lobo

(Translation into English, original in Spanish below)

By Héctor Ygonet Céspedes of Cespedes Consultores

A coupe, (from the French term, “coup d’Etat”) refers to the take-over of political power in a sudden and violent manner, from a powerful group, endangering the institutional legitimacy established in a state, meaning the legal norms of succession that rule. The term coup d’Etat began to be used in France on the XVII century, to refer to a series of violent and sudden measures taken by the king, without any respect for legislation nor moral norms, generally to rid himself of his enemies, when the king himself would consider them necessary in order to maintain the security of the state and the common welfare. In this original sense, the concept is quite similar to what is known today as “coupe”, meaning the deployment of certain authorities of the state, on behalf of a supreme authority.

Honduras’ constitutional president, Porfirio Lobo, just shared with the world that he has first-hand information of a deadly plot against his government, possibly financed by a foreign government.

Just like in the worst moments of the 70’s and 80’s, when the Cuban revolution would finance terrorist groups in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, the chavista regime today finances all types of “projects”, whether they are political, legal, or not, in order to introduce its damn formula to conquer power vacuums in any country with weak governments, such as the one in Honduras.

No one can be that naïve to think Chavez would just sit back and do nothing when the organized forces of Honduras deposed his right-hand man, Manuel Zelaya, and interrupted what he calls, “the new revolutionary process in Central America.”

Hugo Chávez and Raúl Castro, coarsened by hate, greed and bitterness, conspire secretly and publicly, to depose the constitutional Honduras government. The Dominican Republic, as Manuel Zelaya’s host country, should not allow under any circumstances, that from its land, an action to delegitimize the Honduras government and its president Pepe Lobo be allowed.

I call upon the Dominican democratic forces, represented by our chancellor Don Carlos Morales Troncoso, Rafael L. Alburquerque, Honorable vicepresident of the nation, Hipólito Mejía, Ex president of the republic and general (r) José Miguel Soto Jiménez, so that they commit the Dominican government to clarify the clandestine and continuous meetings taking place at the house of Manuel Zelaya, in the Caribbean resort, “Casa de Campo”, the most luxurious and expensive in the country, paid for by the Dominican taxpayers, and which is utilized today by Zelaya to conspire against the government of his own country, throwing mud over the hospitality and generosity of the Dominican people.

The free world needs to pay very close attention to the likely events that could happen in Honduras within the next few months or weeks, or even days. We hope that organizations such as UNASUR, OAS, Rio group, won’t become the lackeys of the golpistas operating under the cover of the chavista doctrine of “an eye for an eye and a coupe for a coupe.”

Golpe de estado contra Porfirio Lobo

Héctor Ygonet Céspedes, Cespedes Consultores

Un golpe de Estado (palabra proveniente del francés coup d’État) es la toma del poder político, de un modo repentino y violento, por parte de un grupo de poder, vulnerando la legitimidad institucional establecida en un Estado, es decir, las normas legales de sucesión en el poder vigentes con anterioridad. El concepto golpe de Estado (coup d’État) comenzó a ser empleado en Francia en el siglo XVIII, para referirse a una serie de medidas violentas y repentinas tomadas por el Rey, sin respetar la legislación ni las normas morales, generalmente para deshacerse de sus enemigos, cuando el Rey mismo consideraba que eran necesarias para mantener la seguridad del Estado o el bien común. En este sentido original, el concepto era muy similar a lo que se denomina en la actualidad “autogolpe”, es decir el desplazamiento de ciertas autoridades del Estado, por parte de la autoridad suprema.

El presidente Constitucional de Honduras Porfirio Lobo, acaba  de revelar al mundo, que tiene información de primera mano de una mortal conspiración contra su gobierno legítimo, posiblemente financiada por un gobierno extranjero.

Como en los peores momentos de los años 70 y 80, cuando la revolución cubana financiaba a los grupos terroristas que actuaban en Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala, el régimen chavista hoy financia todo tipo de proyectos políticos legales o no, que busquen introducir su formula maldita para conquistar espacios de poder en cualquier país con instituciones débiles como es el caso de Honduras.

Nadie puede ser tan ingenuo de pensar que Chávez se quedaría tranquilo y con los brazos cruzados, cuando las fuerzas organizadas de Honduras depusieron a su hombre de confianza, Manuel Zelaya, e interrumpieron lo que él llama, el nuevo proceso revolucionario en centro América.

Hugo Chávez y Raúl Castro, embrutecidos por el odio, la codicia y la amargura, conspiran en secreto y en público para derrocar al gobierno constitucional hondureño. La Republica Dominicana como país anfitrión de Manuel Zelaya, no debe permitir bajo ninguna premisa, que desde suelo dominicano de urda una acción para deslegitimar  al gobierno hondureño y su presidente Pepe Lobo.

Hago un llamado a las fuerzas democráticas dominicanas en las personas de nuestro Canciller Don Carlos Morales Troncoso, Rafael L. Alburquerque, Honorable vicepresidente de la nación, Hipólito Mejía Ex presidente de republica y general (r) José Miguel Soto Jiménez, para que comprometan  al gobierno dominicano en una aclaración pertinente al ex presidente Manuel Zelaya, sobres las reuniones constante y clandestinas, que este realiza en su casa en el balneario caribeño de “Casa de Campo” el más lujoso y caro del país, pagado por los impuestos de los dominicanos, y que hoy es usado por Zelaya para conspirar contra el gobierno de su país, echando lodos a la hospitalidad y generosidad del pueblo dominicano.

Muy atento debe estar el mundo libre a los acontecimientos que podrían pasar en Honduras los próximos meses, semanas o días. Esperamos que organismos como la UNASUR, la OEA, Grupo de Rio, no se conviertan en lacayos de los golpistas, amparados en la tesis chavista del “ojo por ojo y golpe por golpe”.
