Eva,
I'd like to thank you for your great work. It definitely helps me to understand what is going on in Honduras. I translated the second part of your article to Japanese and posted in my blog (http://caracascafe.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/honduras-coup-day17/). Hope you don't mind.

Hi Jason: you are real smart. Do you have a website? I don't have the book "The Chavez Code" but I would like to but it later on. And keep posting in this blogger.

Dear Eva: (1) Let me suggest that Honduras may be a good place for an international brigade to send a special force to restore constitutional order. In fact, had that Brigade a Special Action Section a hundred men could have flown into Tegucigalpa within hours of the coup's initiation and suppressed the golpistas immediately. Now it could take a little longer because they have presumably used their de facto control of state power to reinforce their positions. But they can't have achieved much because they have no meaningful mass support. If I were thirty or forty years younger I would already have created such a special section.
(2) As to the problem of ulta-leftism and anarchism it is a problem to which I have devoted forty years of my life and my conclusions are listed up front in the Preface of the book FUNDAMENTALS OF HISTORICAL MATERIALISM;BOLSHEVISM 2009 (which is the 5th ed. of this book and is free and downloadable) at http://www.communistfoundationpartyusa.org
(3) Comrades in Nepal have been asking for my advice on the problems they confront because of that book and they are in power (more or less) as have comrades in countries where we are still illegal or at least out of power, so it might be worth it for your readers to take a few minutes to peruse that book which can be found at our new website under the button RECENT ARCHIVES.
(4) I bought your book The Chavez Code two years ago and was quite impressed. I started my career many years ago in the US Army Intelligence Service and I can testify that you are one of those writers who knows what she is talking about. Perhaps we can get more of our countrymen and countrywomen to read it and your column here (and your readers are obviously not suffering from the gringo curse of failure to read.) Congratulations on your work and don't worry this little skirmish in Honduras will end well and if this is the best the gringo's can do after two years of small unit trouble making activity in Peru, Ecuador, Peru and Colombia then they have already failed I can assure you.
Best wishes,
Jason W. Smith, Ph.D.

THE GREATEST ENEMIES OF THE LEFT ARE THE ANARCHISTS AND THE LIBERTARIANS WHICH ARE INDIVIDUALIST IDEOLOGIES, CAPITALIST IDEOLOGIES.

THE REAL AND ONLY SOLUTION FOR USA IS BOLIVARIAN-SOCIALISM OF THE XXI CENTURY. NOT ANARCHISM NOR LIBERTARIANISM

The greatest enemies of the US left are the anarchists and the libertarians. Anarchism is an anti-scientific ideology invented by Bakunin which proposes a radical change from Republican Democracies to a Mad Max crazy state-less feudalist system without laws and with total chaos. And libertarianism is just capitalism but with another name.

The only solution for United States of America is Bolivarian Socialism of the XXI Century. Please visit my website http://americans-who-support-hugo-chavez.blogspot.com/ which is on how can we change USA from a fascist capitalist oligarchic imperialist system toward a Bolivarian Socialism of the XXI Century, just like the system being applied in Venezuela right now. From my historical and scientific studies i believe that Hugo Chavez Frias is the best president that this world has had. And the Bolivarian Socialist System of the XXI Century is the best system for today. It is a transitional system toward the Dictatorship of the proletariat (Full Socialism)

If the coup gov't wants to hold elections members of ALBA should attack. They should send in war planes and prevent any "election" to take place. For some particular reason the United States wants to stall and give some sort of legitamacy to the coup gov't. Whatever happens that election process must not take place. They most be disrupted and there must be a huge protest lead towards the military bases of the U.S in honduras. Zelaya needs to mobilize people to the U.S. base and demand that the U.S. leave Honduras soil. That will pressure the United States and prevent further legitamacy with the coup gov't. All Aids needs to be stopped President Barack Obama has suggested to continue providing Aid for HIV and other issues on the continent. But Zelaya must demand that all Aid be restricted becuase the Coup might use the funds to continue its buisness as usual. Zeyala must also demand an investigation by interpole on the death of the two recent victims in honduras. He must also demand that America news coverage show the protest and the constant demand of the people to re-instate Zeyala.

Eva,

I think your analysis of Washington’s intentions is impeccable and I should note that your current position is entirely consistent with what you have been saying from the outset.

Whether they will be able to realize their intentions is not, thankfully, obvious. I doubt they realized how determined Honduran opposition to the coup would be nor, correspondingly, how fierce a repression would be needed to preserve an appearance of normalcy. They must also be worried that Zelaya will play the exotic wild card he still has in his hand: his own physical return which, if well timed, could have enormous, incalculable consequences. It is also possible that US public opinion could be a factor and that as the truth about Micheletti’s repressiveness leaks out support for the coup leaders could evaporate.

Please keep up your marvelous work.
