Zelaya Claims Torture By Israeli Mercenaries With High Frequency Radiation

By Big Tent Democrat

Apparently, like me, deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya is a Fringe fan:

It's been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He's sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and "Israeli mercenaries'' are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.

Massive Dynamic must be behind it. All kidding aside, what a mess. Especially when the UN is pulling out of monitoring the upcoming election:

On Wednesday, the U.N. cut off all technical aid that would have supported and given credibility to that presidential race. Conditions do not exist for credible elections, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.

I am curious to know what the UN proposes to do once Zelaya's term of office formally ends at the end of the year.

Zelaya's move paid him dividends for a few days, but let's face it, the focus on him is already fading. I suppose he can stay in the Brazilian embassy till the end of the year, but then what? It seems to me no one thought this one through.

Speaking for me only
