Updated by FactReal on Oct. 1, 2009….this post will be updated as more facts come in

THERE WAS NO COUP IN HONDURAS – the facts prove it
It was Honduran Marxist ex-President Zelaya who was attempting to hijack the Honduran Constitution by pushing for a permanent re-election (like Chavez in Venezuela). The Honduran courts, congress and the military removed Zelaya from power according to their rules & Constitution. Here are the facts:

TEAM A. OBAMA SIDES WITH MARXISTS	VS.	TEAM B. THE FACTS: WHY IT WAS NOT A COUP		OOO
	~~~~~~~~	● The constitution of Honduras does not allow for a presidential re-election which is what ousted-President Zelaya wanted to do with his unconstitutional referendum. ● The constitution of Honduras is explicit: It defines as a crime any attempt at changing its stipulation on no re-election. CONSTITUTION OF HONDURAS: (Spanish, via Honduran Congress) TITLE V: POWERS OF THE STATE Chapter VI, Article 237 .- The presidential term is four years and will begin the twenty-seventh day of January following the date on which the election was conducted. TITLE VII: THE REFORM AND THE CONSTITUTION OF Inviolability Chapter I, Article 374 .- It can not be reformed, in any case, Article, this Article, the constitutional articles which refer to the form of government, the national territory, the presidential term, the ban to be new President of the Republic The citizen who has played under any title and refers to those who can not be President of the Republic for the subsequent period. (Curious note: in the google translation it says “It may be reformed”, however in the Honduran Constitution it clearly starts by saying “No”, that it cannot be reformed.) Report (Spanish) TITLE II: NATIONALITY AND CITIZENSHIP Chapter III, Article 42 .- The quality of citizen is lost: Item 5. Incite, encourage or support the continuity or re-election of President of the Republic

● OBAMA SAYS IT WAS A COUP
video Obama being a constitutional law professor and a lawyer should have read the Honduran Constitution first. Also, Obama fails to mention that some of these leaders opposing the removal of Zelaya led coups before: Chavez in 1992, Ortega in 1979, Castro in 1959…. Who doesn’t know the UN is left-wing?		Why was Zelaya removed immediately? According to Article 239: “No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform, as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years.” Notice that the article … says “immediately” – as in “instant,” as in “no trial required,” as in “no impeachment needed.”

video Obama immediately “meddles” in the affairs of Honduras, denouncing a military coup, the intent of which is to preserve the country’s constitution, but when it comes to Iran’s fraudulent election and the violent repression of demonstrators who wanted their votes counted, the president initially vacillates and equivocates.		video	video

● LOVE FOR COCAINE ZELAYA SINGS TO COCAINE & ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TO U.S.		● TIMELINE 03/23/2009 The Executive [Zelaya] issued Executive Order PCM-05-2009 (Spanish) which drives for an unconstitutional referendum called Cuarta Urna (Forth Urn/ballot box) calling for a National Constituent Assembly that will change their Constitution. The referendum was set for June 2009. Zelaya promoted this referendum via national TV & radio but never released the Executive Order to be published in the official newspaper La Gaceta, making it impossible to legally challenge it. This was an improper behavior of the Executive Power according to Honduran law. 03/25/2009 The Public Ministry (MP) through its Attorney General issued a Statement (Spanish) against PCM-05-2009 stating that “on Monday March 23, 2009, at night, the President of the Republic [Zelaya] in Council of Ministers issued an Executive Order [PCM-05-2009] aimed at a popular practice …to determine if there is interest or popular will for …installing a fourth urn to decide on the convocation of a National Constituent Assembly to approve a new Constitution…they are using means or procedures that violate or ignore what this Constitution and the laws establish.” They also stated that then-President Zelaya did not have the authority to promote or approve a consultation to change the Constitution. News report (Spanish) 05/08/2009 The Public Ministry (MP) files a lawsuit against the illegal Executive Order and prosecute illicit purposes. 05/12/2009 The Administrative Court accepted the application filed by the MP. 05/20/2009 The legal representative of the State, the PGR, advocates a suspension of the consultation, as requested by the MP. 05/27/2009 The Court ruling allowing the application to suspend the act, that is to say, it suspends the consultation. 05/29/2009 The Court clarified that the ruling applies to any resolution issued to hold the consultation. 05/29/2009 The Executive [Zelaya] issued Executive Order PCM-027-2009 which ordered the Armed Forces (FFAA) to support illegal consultation. 06/18/2009 Court orders the Armed Forces not to support the illegal referendum (Spanish). The ruling leaves with no value or effect Decree PCM-027-2009, so the Armed Forces are not required to comply with illegal orders from Zelaya. 06/25/2009 Zelaya responded by dismissing the military chief and by pushing forward with his plans of perpetuating himself in power a-la-Chavez (Spanish). The Armed Forces in Honduras have constitutional duties during the election process under the orders of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (Spanish) but cannot do participate in anything unconstitutional/illegal. 06/25/2009 Honduran Supreme Court reinstated the military chief (PDF of Court Order, Spanish) 06/25/2009 The Executive issued Executive Order PCM-020-2009 (PDF) to change the word consultation for survey, both Executive Orders/decrees without value by court order. 06/25/2009 The Attorney General from the Public Ministry (MP) & The Supreme Court issued an INJUNCTION AGAINST ZELAYA (PDF from Supreme Court: see item 8 & page 31) for crimes against the government, treason, abuse of authority and usurpation of functions. The Supreme Court ordered the Armed Forces to arrest & remove Zelaya (Spanish) 06/26/2009 The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) outlaws the opinion survey because it violates the Constitution and laws. 06/26/2009 The Executive [Zelaya] published Executive Order PCM-019-2009 (PDF) which was dated May 26, 2009, “preventing the public to have access to it, but until June 26, through a chain of radio and television.” As stated on PCM-019-2009, with this new decree Zelaya deletes his previous Executive Order PCM-005-2009 which was never published (so it could not be legally challenged). However, he promoted it heavily asking people to participate in the unconstitutional survey Cuarta Urna (Forth Urn/ballot box). News Report (Spanish) 06/28/2009 Zelaya is removed from Office
