Example of the Neda music going up, and I choose this one because it has cameos of her in fresh places and poses. Neda looks to have been a fun loving and affectionate young woman of many styles and much energy. I do not have the translation fo this singer, but his beat and his voice are charismatic and convincing. The Neda chorus grows and moves into many languages as it moves into music. Expect cinema, painting, dance, performance and style to be based upon those awful scenes in Tehran.
Hard News.
The unconfirmed reports out of Tehran continue threatening.
Once you decide to engage in a discussion about ‘global warming’, you have already lost the argument. ‘Global warming’ is the magician’s parlor trick which compels one to focus on the empty flourish of the right hand while the left performs the prestige.
‘Global warming’, therefore functions primarily as a diversion and secondarily as a scare tactic. Perhaps Tom DeWeese of the American Policy Center said it best as far back as 1997: ‘Global warming’ he wrote, is "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the people of the world, bar none. Those who have been fighting against the green agenda have been warning that modern-day environmentalism has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting the environment. Rather, it is a political movement led by those who seek to control world economies, dictate development, and redistribute the world's wealth." Since then, there have been many others who have come to the same conclusion. The major media, however, totally in the tank with re-distributionist policies, have so far refused to give equal time to ‘global warming’ skeptics, leaving the impression among the weak-minded that environmental Armageddon is perilously close at hand.
People who subscribe to the ‘global warming’ hoax generally fall into one of two categories: those who are genuinely afraid that the earth will collapse into an uninhabitable fireball and those who exploit the hoax for their own political advantage. President Obama easily fits the latter template. He has often spoken about his intention to redistribute the world’s riches more equitably. It is no wonder that he also supports the environmentalists’ calls to action (Cap and Trade).
Michael Jackson also is said to have supported the environmental movement. He wrote, “Global Warming: The Earth Song”, a heartrending plea for people to come together and save the planet. From what has recently emerged about the ill-fated super star, there can be little doubt which of the two categories outlined above he belonged to.
Given what can be expected should ‘global warning’ zealots gain the upper hand in terms of immediate wholesale dislocation, leading to simmering social unrest and almost certain armed conflict, I choose to place my bet on ‘global warming’ as being something we can live with. A preview of the alternative is currently being played out on the streets of Tehran.
There’s something happening in Honduras that hasn’t been covered on this site. The duly elected President, Manuel Zelaya, was ousted by the army on Sunday after months of tension over his efforts to circumvent presidential term limits. Soldiers stormed the presidential palace in early the morning and disarmed the presidential guard. They forcibly took Mr. Zelaya and put him on a plane to Costa Rica. Later, Sunday, the Honduran Congress voted Zelaya out of office and replaced him with the president of Congress, Roberto Micheletti (from the president’s own party). This is what generally amounts to a coup.
Later in the day, the Honduran Supreme Court issued a statement saying that the military had acted to defend the law against “those who had publicly spoken out and acted against the Constitution’s provisions.”
Mr. Zelaya, whose four-year term was set to expire next January, is an avowed leftist, closely aligned with President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela (friend of Tehran) who angrily denounced the coup as illegal and put his own military forces on high alert. Chavez said he would intervene militarily if the Venezuelan or Ecuadorian or any embassy or staff in the coalition comprised of leftist South American governments (which incidentally includes Honduras) is attacked.
Now it’s quiz time. Out of three co-equal branches of government, two reached the conclusion that what the president was doing was illegal under the country’s Constitution and joined forces to oust him. The military agreed. Where would you come down?
The voices of those denouncing the coup in support of reinstating Zelaya sound like a rouges’ gallery of leftist dictators and their supporters. The plaintive protestations of our own president are among them.
So that's what the enemy looks like? It is interesting how the past year and half, the Mainstream Media has been demonisizing Iran. Now Iran has a human face and a smiling face at that. Yes conditions in Iran are not completely as they are in the West. Women are treated like second class citizens in their own country still.
Remember when Rep John McCain sang "Bomb Bomb Iran." Now will Americans allow their government to allow Israel and or the US bomb Iran since they have so-called nuclear weapons. I would be more worried about North Korea and perhaps Pakistan.
Once again, Iran has a human face so it will be harder to call them "evil" now.
Good good pick up on Honduras. Spoke to Mary O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal in New York at 920 pm Eastern Time Sunday 28, and it will be up on the site soon enough in video. I will write more, but the heart of what I learned is that Zelaya is a stooge of Chavez, and Chavez is running the operation to undermine the constitution in Honduras and make it possible for Zelaya to rule indefinitely. Same fame Chavez ran in Venezuela the last ten years. What Zelaya forgot was to put his own stooges into the SUpreme Court and military before he moved with the phony referendum. The ballots were printed in Venezuela and flown in. The Army refused to distribute them and then threw Zelaya out. Banana games. Chavez now moves. Twist is that the Obama administration last night decided to back Zelaya and demand he be restored. Dark irony. More soon. Here is what I recorded late Sunday to go out on WABC and KSFO for the morning news shows.
Revolution in Central America. Honduran president thrown out of the country. Another defeat for democracy and a victory for brutality - right? Wrong! What’s going on?
I’m John Batchelor and this is the Heads-Up Minute
What's going on in Honduras is not a military coup - it's the opposite. The now-jettisoned President Manuel Zelaya was using a phony referendum to undermine the Honduran constitution.
Zelaya was going to use ballots printed up by -- the dictator Hugo CHAvez.
CHAvez - the first chief of state to recognize the tyrant Ahmadinejad as re-elected president of Iran.
Zelaya of Honduras is in cahoots with CHAvez of Venezuela. CHAvez is in cahoots with Ahmadinejad.
Now the Obama administration supports Zelaya and demands he be restored to power. That’s right. Obama wants CHAvez’s crony put back in charge of the country that just threw him out.
What’s going on? The world turned upside down.

So where does the President speak up at; not Iran but Honduras.
I am left to believe that either a. our President is naive and understands very little about central/south American politics or b. he isn't.
I am hoping it's a. Because b. is too insidious to think about.
Some ignorant people confuse the regime in Iran with the people of Iran.
Ahmeni-jihad calls for investigation into who felled Neda. Hmmm, I would ask... who has failed Neda?
I thought the official line was those green meanie troublemakers faked and staged her death for propaganda. No, she really died and it was the BBC? No, wait a minute, it was other protesters in the street that murdered her, wasn't it? Arggghhh, I'm so confused!
Anyone want to guess what the result may be?
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG SHOULD BE ESCORTED TO NEW JERSEY
If only the NYPD would escort the Mayor of NY to New Jersey, then maybe we could heve
term limits in NYC.
The administration knows that Honduras has executed what their Constitution calls for in this instance and the people of Honduras are in near total agreement with the removal of this idiot. Therefore, to show that the US has not manipulated and taken sides, maybe it has officially decried the situation as illegal and illegitimate and is satisfied to allow the Hondurans manage their own affairs.
What's curious about this is that Chavez has threatened military action to reverse the actions of the Hondurans who moved to protect their Constitution. And apparently, prior to the move that was taken to neutralize the threat posed by Zevalas, he has been meddling in the affairs of a sovereign nation in the region.
This is outrageous and deserving of a timeout in the corner!! "HUGO! Shame on you!!! You get ten minutes to think about what you are doing!! And your Mama is going to hear about this, too! Now Go!
Where's the outcry for Chavez to not interfere and mind his own business and to stop his imperialistic designs?
His own referendum to extend his term failed, too... didn't it? The Venezuelans should shake his monkey out of the tree and maybe they could find a path to a more prosperous nation and future with a realistic vision grounded in reality.
(I wonder what general told him that they weren't really capable of military action in Honduras?)
I meant "Veyalas" No, it's "Zalazes" Hold on, I'll get it right "Vazelas"
Who is is this guy? "Ayalez?"
Anyway, it doesn't matter... a few hundred turned out to protest the vacation time he was required to take or lose.
AAhhh... Life is a beach. Muchas Dos Equus and Cuban Cigars and all the friends will be there soon.
"Things reached a boil last Wednesday and Thursday, when Mr. Zelaya fired the leader of the armed forces and the Supreme Court followed up with a declaration that Mr. Zelaya’s planned referendum was illegal."
I'm an entrepreneur and I know a good thing when I see it. It will take investment capital, the right team to implement the vision I have, and some very talented people who have a knack for the allegorical?
First, I must confess, this will be a total cutout from what's already in existence, but, in the future, will prove to be the most extremely influential and maybe even monolithic way the world disseminates the meaning and place each and everyone of us finds ourselves at any given moment during our lifetimes. Yeh, it's that good!

Her has come to save the day- Her has said two have muls in the Sariah Desert on the GoshoMite Plain! "We must save them!"
The muls are braying, but, no body hears them. There's only one thing to do... Her launches herself from her NuKler (that runs on low sulphur diesel and has that smell, you know,) but, forgets to change from her evening gown (Her was having a ball) made of polyplastik which is now in flames and being seared into Her body while flying South to Sariah to save the muls.
AJacks is always watching through the night vision and sees the flames of Her. He knows that flames are not good. He knows he has not had Courage since Flaeces took them from him and ate them like marshmallows while he was saving Dionsissy from the treachery of Sploitat. Still, he wants to do something for the flaming Her on her way to Curious Sariah Desert on the GoshoMite Plain.
