Zelaya accused of theft

| July 22, 2009

This morning, the Washington Times‘ Sara A. Carter writes an article about officials of the Manuel Zelaya administration withdraw large amounts of cash from Honduras’ central bank, ostensibly to use for the referendum which got the ousted president booted from his own country;

A security video from the Central Bank of Honduras made available to The Washington Times shows officials entering the bank June 24 and withdrawing large amounts of Honduran currency. The money was driven to the office of Mr. Zelaya’s chief of staff, Enrique Flores Lanza, according to depositions by three witnesses to Honduran prosecutors.

Couple this with the Spanish article brought to light by our friends at Babalu Blog about computers that were uncovered in the presidential residence with the results of the referendum pre-certified (Zelaya was ousted on the day the referendum was supposed to be held – yet the results of that vote were already fixed). These are important issues that need to be addressed before the Obama Administration returns Zelaya to his position – the evidence of this corruption will be lost as soon as Zelaya sets foot in the country again.

Let’s get real. Jimmy Carter went down to Venezuela and certified Chavez as the winner, even though there were irregularities, so I doubt that Obama and Chavez would say anything about this, since Chavez was probably the one that gave him the idea and Obama is afraid of Chavez. Plus, voter intimidation in this country was just fine with Obama during the election (they were Obama supporters and Holder has dropped the charges and investigations).
