TRNN Exclusive: Honduran Elections Exposed

Honduran coup regime's claims of more than 60% participation in free and fair election revealed as fraud.

"There is wide agreement that last week's presidential election in Honduras..." begins an editorial in Saturday's New York Times, "...was clean and fair." The editorial gives no hint as to whom all these people are that are in agreement, except for the 'official' data from the same regime that overthrew the elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, at gunpoint. The Times joins governments, commentators and editorial pages around the world that have fallen victim to the 'official' coup data. But, as this video shows, the proof of the fraud was sitting out in the open the whole time.

The Real Lies, give it up dude! The world lost against Honduras. Such a tiny poor country has shown everybody the REAL meaning of democracy. You may borrow a page from Micheletti's manual. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thank you so much Senators: De Mint,(SC) Díaz-Balart brothers and Ross-Lehtinen (FL), without your compassion and help our fight would have been harder, nevertheless, we would have prevail. Because the "good ones are more than the bad ones" and "no hay otro pueblo mas macho, que el pueblo catracho" . Remember this, the Honduran creeds. There's not greater force than "La Verdad"

Shame on Obama and Congress for supporting fraud and corruption in Honduras.

According to Democracy Now this morning (Dec 9) Honduras Election Winner Wants Amnesty for Coup Leaders:
"In Honduras, the winner of last month’s controversial national elections says he wants full political amnesty for all those involved in the coup that overthrew Honduran President Manuel Zelaya last June. On Tuesday, Porfirio Lobo told reporters “there must be an amnesty for all.” His comments came as the Mercosur grouping of South American nations—Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay—issued a declaration along with Venezuela condemning Lobo’s victory as illegal. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez criticized the US for backing off its stated commitment to restoring Zelaya to office.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: “Obama said in Trinidad that he had come to talk about the future. that he didn’t want to talk about the past. But he is supporting the past. He is supporting the past without any form of shame. And following him, sadly and unfortunately, is a group of governments from our own America.”"

Apparently democracy means little to the USA.
