Honduran entrepreneurs have sent money supply to Colombian paramilitaries to send personnel to protect farms in the Central American country, reveals today the Colombian daily El Tiempo, "which ensures that had offered up to 14,000 Lempiras (about 507 euros) per month per person, plus room and board.


 The offer is specifically addressed to former members of the United Self-Defense of Colombia (AUC), many of whom have welcomed the plans for reintegration of the Colombian Government.
 "They say they need privates fighters," one of the attendees at a meeting with 40 other right-wing veterans invited to explain the conditions of employment.
 As they explained, entrepreneurs in the palm and sugarcane want to protect their farms and urban violence after the coup and attacks from state and 'maras "(gangs). "One of the leading recruitment, with offices in Bogota and traveled to Central America with a group, and now he negotiated arms," said the witness 'El Tiempo'.
Another group that has already accepted the offer and would find a camp centered in Colombia, awaiting transfer by land or by sea via Panama to evade border controls.
The Department of Administrative Security (DAS) - Colombia's secret service - checks migration to Honduras without that for now, are detected atypical exits the Bogota airport. Between January and August 3178 departures are recorded Colombians to Honduras, but there are connections to other Central American countries that have not yet been investigated.
Ambassador of Honduras in Colombia, Hernan Bermudez, said he knew nothing about the possible hiring of Colombian paramilitaries and warned that the Honduran army has full control of the territory.
 However, both the Popular Resistance Front and the Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras have denounced the presence of paramilitary forces and foreign mercenaries in Honduras since the first week of August.
 "There are offers of far-right organizations in several countries to the Honduran government 'de facto'. They offer men and weapons," said Tomas Andino, deputy Democratic Unification third political force in Honduras, told 'El Tiempo'.
 "We know of fighters Cuba and Salvador, and no wonder the offer to Colombians," said Andino, who blamed paramilitary gunmen of killing members of the resistance against the coup in August.

El Ejército de EEUU no reconoce autoridad de Obama The U.S. military does not recognize authority of Obama


Romeo Vasquez, the general who led the coup against Manuel Zelaya, study at School of the Americas, and even the head of U.S. Southern Command, Douglas Fraser, admitted that the first leg of the ousted president was the basis of Soto Cano (Palmerola), which administers the United States in Honduras since the country became the main platform in Central counter the 80's of last century.
The U.S. ambassador in Honduras is inherited from President George W. Bush and a notorious anti-Castro Cuban, Hugo Llorens, who took 48 hours in protest at the chancellor said the first coup, Enrique Ortez, who said Barack Obama was a "black boy who did not know where he was Tegucigalpa.
 Deduce that these U.S. sectors supported the coup against Hugo Chávez's ally in Honduras, is virtually a mathematical exercise.
 But the official position of the Obama administration in Washington is contrary to the one described above.  Both Bush and the State Department led by Hillary Clinton condemned the coup, they implemented measures against usurpers and denied recognition to the electoral process organized by the dictatorship.
 It is conceivable that these measures are insufficient and that other aid that is not cut, we can analyze that the sanctions imposed by Washington are a screen to distract the great press and public opinion, and that underneath the table follows the collaboration.
 But although these possibilities are true and are likely to approach the truth, there is another line of analysis can also be certain and closer to the truth.
The official position of the government and public Obama is not accepting government Romeo Vasquez and Micheletti.
This implies that no official plan in relations between government and government can accept the recognition of the coup authorities.
 We saw that the relationship between the military of both countries are very close, and it appears that the uniformed armed forces of the world's most powerful are not prepared to suspend its relations with Honduran friends, whatever happens and whatever the Guidelines from the civilian authority in Washington.
 The information you will read below seems to confirm that some U.S. military are not willing to obey a black liberal and socialist civil (and Obama think about the neoconservatives in Washington) that can not possibly understand the needs of life military, among which of course is-whenever possible-and forcibly evict a coup by a president leading his country to a destination atheist and communist.
 On Wednesday the German agency DPA reported that the list of participating countries from the U.S. Panamax exercises organized in the country owning the Canal, Honduras was one of the guests.
 On Thursday, most national dailies in Mexico gave the news that despite the coup, the U.S. Southern Command had invited his military exercises. Hours later, the Cuban agency Prensa Latina reported (based on Honduran media) that the Central American country would not participate in the Panamax exercises.
The next day, in a policy statement, the Southern Command reported that Honduras would not participate.
 "There may be confusion by some comments, but Honduras will not participate in Panamax 2009," said Brigadier General Gerald W. Ketchum. Ketchum.
 "A few weeks ago we received a letter notifying part of Honduras where they would not participate. We understand that due to the current situation" after the coup of June 28, Ketchum said in the presentation ceremony of military exercises .
Although the Southern Command military rule involving the rebels, made a revelation: the Honduran soldiers will not go because they chose not to, not because they have been invited by the Americans.
 So the invitation was maintained, indicating direct contravention to the political line drawn from Washington.
 But there is another element that makes things more difficult for everybody.
 Ambassador of Honduras to Panama, Juan Alfaro (true to Zelaya), reporting on Friday that "there is a delegation (Honduran military). They are participating in these exercises. What is strange to me that military aid was cut from the onset of stroke and this shows that the Pentagon is acting on one side and Obama on the other side. "
We can say that the ambassador of Zelaya said the same that the title of this note.
 To add a little more fuel to the fire, Agence France Presse played hours after a statement by a Panamanian official, who revealed that Honduran forces were invited to the maneuvers, but did not participate for "mechanical reasons" for their ships.
 "Yes they were invited (but) in yesterday (Thursday) we received a call for mechanical reasons of such vessels would not participate," said Osvaldo commissioner Urena, Panama Naval Air Service, a spokesman for Panamax 2009.
In short, the facts are evident after analyzing this information represent a complex scenario within the structures of power in Washington.
 Interesting question is who is really in the capital of the empire.
 It would be pertinent to clarify, lest we should be thinking that this is not a democracy but something more akin to a military dictatorship.
