Some things to learn from here:
i)these "reporters" always report what the police and coup authorities tell them about their actions, as if they were 1) reliable (hello??? they are DE FACTO authorities, criminals who ousted a president at gunpoint and have repressed people, violated human rights, murdered, why do you even listen to them? do you expect them to tell you the truth?) 2) legitimate authorities and not spurious and violators of law 3) as if they were not going to tell the Press what is convenient for them, or as if they were to tell them the truth about what they do.
Anyone believing these news has to have serious brain issues.
ii) So the police tells these idiotic reporters that Walter's murder is "being exhaustively investigated.". I ask them, by who??? By human rights organizations, yes, but not by the police.guess what? There are DOZENS of human rights activists and witnesses who say the opposite and who witnessed that the police was not even THERE at the crime scene, nor made any effort in at least going there 14 hours after his murder, less in investigating anything about it slightly. AP reporter Freddy Cuevas or AP: you could have at least reported what human rights organizations said and were doing, if you were to report both sides, not what the fucking criminal, murderous narco police who by the way robbed my sister tells you.
iii) Micheletti & Coup co has NOT yet quit to the ALBA. Is this not over the top, anyone? wasn't it joining this program what was so scandalous about president Zelaya? Oh but the coup authorities still took over the money that ALBA had lent Zelaya, to make their own "projects" (even coup media reported on it). If this is not hypocresy and no one can see the charade these coup people are, one must have really a brain failure to believe them.
iv) Zelaya certainly DID NOT join ALBA because he developed strong ties with leftist president Chavez. He joined ALBA because no one made him a better offer for loans to develop projects in our country(the US rejected the loan, and the EU didn't offer him much). There is a 2008 REUTERS report confirming this(it's even called:
Left behind by the U.S., Honduras turns to Chavez
. Therefore, Zelaya developed strong ties with Chávez BECAUSE of Honduras joining ALBA.Some things that due to manipulation of language and way of them being showed can be misinterpreted by many and that's exactly the purpose of corporate media: to disinform and create the desired opinions about issues.
v) It's very funny that this horrible old man, Rafael Pineda Ponce(who has by the way already been an officer for another coup regime back in the 70's), feels "offended" by Chávez cutting oil on Honduras. I mean, what did he expect, that after a coup d'etat takes place, mainly because of Zelaya joining ALBA, that they were to continue receiving ALBA benefits, things sold at a cheap price so all these entrepenuers who own the Honduran state can go on taking advantage of them and selling them many times more expensive to the poor people? No, you can't have it both ways. I find this pretty shameless and outrageously ridiculous.
Please show more respect for a human life and stop writing allt his bullshit for the sake of Walter's memory, unprofessional, nazi press.
Rights activist who protested Honduras coup killed
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran police promised to thoroughly investigate the killing of a gay rights activist who joined in protests against the June coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
The anti-coup National Resistance Front said gunmen in a car shot Walter Trochez on Sunday as he walked in downtown Tegucigalpa. Friends rushed him to a hospital, where he died.
"Trochez was an active militant in the resistance and an example of the fight against the dictatorship," the group said in a statement released on the day the victim was buried.
The front, which until recently staged daily protests to demand Zelaya's restoration to the presidency, blamed the attack "on the repressive forces that the oligarchy uses to stop the demands of the Honduran people for liberty and democracy."
Police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said Tuesday that the case was "being exhaustively investigated." He named no suspects but dismissed the possibility that police were involved.
The front claimed that Trochez, 27, was often harassed and threatened by police and soldiers because of his activism on behalf of homosexuals.
A Honduran rights group said Trochez was briefly kidnapped Dec. 4 by four masked men who beat him. The assailants threatened to kill Trochez because of his participation in the anti-coup movement, the International Observatory on the Human Rights Situation said.
International rights groups have denounced widespread repression under the government of interim President Roberto Micheletti, the former congressional leader who took power after soldiers ousted Zelaya on June 28. The coup came after the president continued a campaign to change the constitution despite the Supreme Court ruling his effort illegal.
Several anti-coup activists have been killed during protests, while security forces have raided the offices of groups opposed to the Micheletti government. Police say the raids are part of investigations into homemade bombs that have periodically exploded in the Central American country since the coup.
There also have been a string of killings of government security officials and relatives of politicians, including a nephew of Micheletti, but there is no indication those slayings related the coup. Political assassinations are not uncommon in Honduras, which has one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America, much of it related to the drug trade.
Months of international pressure failed to restore Zelaya to finish his four-year term, which ends Jan. 27. Diplomats are now focused on producing a deal that would allow Zelaya to leave Honduras without being arrested on treason and abuse of power charges.
On Monday, the United States and Brazil urged Micheletti to step down, saying his resignation would allow Zelaya safe passage out of Honduras.
Micheletti dismissed that idea Tuesday. He told HRN radio he planned to stay in power until the new president-elect, Porfirio Lobo, takes office next month. Lobo, a wealthy conservative rancher, won the Nov. 27 presidential election, which had been scheduled before the coup.
Zelaya, who is holed up in the Brazilian Embassy, vowed in a statement not to renounce his claim to the presidency.
Last week Micheletti's government stopped two attempts by Zelaya to leave Honduras because the ousted leader refused to concede he is no longer president.
Late Tuesday, the Micheletti government said it would seek Honduras' withdrawal from a Venezuela-led trade bloc known as ALBA. The government will introduce a motion in Congress on Wednesday to have Honduras drop out of the bloc, said chief Cabinet minister Rafael Pineda.
Honduras joined ALBA in August 2008 as Zelaya sought closer relations with leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez — an alliance that alienated the Honduran business community and most of Zelaya's own political party.
Chavez stopped oil shipments to Honduras to protest Zelaya's ouster.
"The decision was made because some presidents who belong to ALBA. have been disrespectful and offensive against a friendly country like Honduras," Pineda said.
