Personally I think there's too much emphasis on non-violence here, and not enough on self-defense, but best of luck to them anyway.

Union organizations in Nicaragua and El Salvador have announced that they will close the border routes with Honduras in solidarity with the Honduran blockades.

the confirmed reports indicate that the popular protests have already shut down the veins and arteries of country's economy.

Readers unfamiliar with the condition of secondary roads in Honduras may not be aware that once one of these main highways is shut down, there are no alternate routes.

This is the strategy that, from 2003 to 2005, toppled three repressive presidents in the nation of Bolivia, one after the other.

This is a major news story. It doesn't matter that the rest of the English language international media is slow to report it. Maybe their correspondents are caught in traffic?

The human rights organization Comité para la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos en Honduras (Cofadeh) reports that between the coup of June 28 and July 11, the regime committed more than 1,000 documented violations of the human rights of citizens.

Those numbers include only very serious cases, and only those that the human rights organization has been able to document, and do not include acts of intimidation and threats, which have also been widespread.

Like the US government, and other major US corporations like Chiquita (http://www.revleft.com/vb/chiquitas-role-honduras-t113174/index.html), the US media corporations have no interest in reporting on any evidence that Zelaya, and left-leaning social and economic policy, have genuine popular support in Honduras. Moreover, while trying hard to add extra layers of velvet glove to the iron fist, the Obama regime continues to push political rhetoric and policy stands meant to undercut popular participation in resistance, as Al Giordano reported in another NarcoNews post (http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/secretary-clinton-doesn%E2%80%99t-get-power-nonviolence-honduras).
