As a spiritual-futurist, I have a BA degree majoring in history. One cannot know the future without knowing the past which holds clues to what is on the horizon. The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
The United Nations has abandoned Honduras as well as the United States, and the inept Organization of American States (OAS). Castro and Venezuela see themselves losing one of their greatest model dictators in Zelaya who was trying to rig the constitution so he could rule for life like Chavez has done. In spite of the opposition, the leaders in Honduras have remained defiant and resolute.
Zeyala was determined to fly back to Honduras on Sunday. His determination wasn't strong enough.
Honduran airport authorities refused a plane carrying ousted President Manuel Zelaya permission to land in the capital Sunday as he attempted to return home a week after a coup. The control tower at Tegucigalpa airport told the pilot that the plane ran the risk of being intercepted if it tried to land, according to an audio stream of the airport's communications heard on an aviation website. Zelaya says that he will attempt it again in the next day or so.
Meanwhile, Honduras' interim President Roberto Micheletti said on Sunday Nicaraguan troops were moving to the mutual frontier and urged Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to respect Honduran sovereignty. He gave no further details about troop movements in Nicaragua which shares a border with Honduras to the southeast of the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa.
The politicians who ousted Zelaya aren't backing down, and violence broke out among the huge crowd surrounding the airport, with at least one person killed so far. The man was shot in the head by gunfire from inside the airport as people tried to break through a security fence. Security forces fired warning shots and tear gas, and some Zelaya supporters threw rocks and set a fire. A van tore through the crowd, with someone shouting to make way for the wounded. A spokesman said the Red Cross was treating about 30 people for injuries, including a woman who had been stabbed.
One small nation of some seven million people, holding off the wrath of the most powerful nations and organizations in the world. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
