@CID,

Probably because of the "rumor" that a couple divisions refuse to take orders from the golpistas.

Why does the Honduran military suddenly feel the need to issue official communiques denying that they are divided in their loyalties to the new coup government?

From Honduran daily Tiempo:

Hay personas empeñadas en crear división en las Fuerzas Armadas, pero no lo van a lograr porque la institución es jerarquizada por convicción, según un comunicado de la entidad castrense.

El boletín señala que el pronunciamiento se formula ante las aseveraciones de personas nacionales y extranjeras, en el sentido que algunos militares estarían dudando sobre las acciones que está realizando la institución para mantener y preservar el orden constitucional.

“Las Fuerzas Armadas se mantienen sólidamente unidas y sus miembros estamos inmersos en la tarea de contribuir con el gobierno en mantener el orden interno sin descuidar las otras misiones”, señala el comunicado.

or roughly

There are people out to create division in the Armed Forces, but they are not going to achieve this because the institution is commanded by conviction, according to a communique from the military.

The bulletin signals that the announcement is formulated in the face of suggestions by persons domestically and abroad, in the sense that some military members are doubting in the actions that the institution is carrying out to maintain and preserve order.

"The Armed Forces maintain themselves solidly united and its members are immersed in the work of contributing alongside the government to maintain internal order without abandoning their other missions," signaled the communique.

I realize that Hugo Chavez has made statements demanding the Honduran militar disobey the illegal coup government, but why is the Honduran governing military bothered to respond to him?

(Apologies if this is duplicated, I couldn't recall if I had clicked on "Post" or not...)

Nope, it's not just you...that same shit happened up here in Canada, too. The missionaries declared the local natives to be "poor benighted children" and then set about "civilizing" them (and stealing their land for Jeebus), forgetting entirely that those "poor benighted children" had been civilized already, and lived that way sustainably for tens of thousands of years. In fact, if the missionaries really cared as much about learning as they professed to do, they'd have done more of it themselves, and spent far less time arrogantly trying to impose their idea of "learning" on someone else.

Its a shame because there could be some who are truly about doing good .... but in my mind there's that nagging skepticism due to the genocide, conquistador, repression, slavery, and secondary human control freak thing anytime I hear the word "missionary".

Maybe its just me.

For some reason, Rev. Spellgood from The Mosquito Coast comes to mind.

Jee Doof!

The problem with most religious orgs is they forgot they are supposed to be speaking about the things of god ... instead they concern themselves with the things of men.

Heaven-bound? The sooner the better!
