*UPDATE* (7.5.09) -- The forces of evil have been repelled and Honduras has withdrawn from the meaningless, joke entity known as the "Organization of American States." Zelaya says he will return to Honduras on Sunday. No word if he will be immediately arrested and put on trial for treason and numerous other crimes.

---------------------------------------- ------------
(7.1.09) -- The disgraced former leader of Honduras who was removed from power after illegally seeking to amend the Honduran constitution has a new problem: Purported ties to international drug trafficking. Watch the video for more details and see the link below for further information.
Two things seem near-certain at this juncture: The pending showdown between those supporting former President Manuel Zelaya and those backing new President Roberto Micheletti is going to end exceedingly poorly for one of the two sides and Barack Obama's initial foolhardiness in backing Zelaya is going to prove even more humiliating to himself and the United States than it was already guaranteed to be.
Obama, of course, has his own past drug ties. Unlike the allegations regarding Zelaya, however, the American president was a user and not a middleman or one profiting from the distribution of cocaine.
Here's where this is heading: The only way, it appears at this time, that Zelaya has any hope of returning to power is if Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez intervenes militarily. Thus, if Zelaya is restored to power as Obama has boldly declared should happen, Obama might have to back a man (Chavez) who is himself a known past coup participant and a current authoritarian overlord in order to achieve what was supposedly going to be a peaceful process.
If that happens -- if Obama were stupid enough to actually allow Chavez to take military action to protect his (Chavez') stooge Zelaya -- then all of the video of Obama shaking hands, smiling and laughing with the Latin American strongman will haunt him until the end of his first and only term.
On the other hand, if Obama is made to look the fool for proclaiming an apparently guilty man should be restored to power and that does not occur, then Obama becomes just another impotent appendage of the irresponsible United Nations-mentality apparatus both in the eyes of the rest of the world and to demoralized citizens of the United States.

NOTE: Paul F. Villarreal, our member who made this production, was technically wrong on his stated definition of what constitutes a coup d'état:

Though many commonly-considered coup d'état occurrences were/are achieved through the implementation of military force and do result in the appointment of a military figure as the head of state (e.g., the 1969 coup in Libya which resulted in Muammar Gaddafi becoming the nation's leader), this is not a necessary feature of all coup d'états
