Honduras, Guanajuato updates

There are wholesale defections (including much of Micheletti and Mel Zelay’s own Liberal Party) to the resistance.  The de facto government attempted at 3:33 in the afternoon to slap a 4 PM curfew on the country, but it appears “curfew will not ring tonight”.  Al Giordino’s live-blogging (The Field) mentions several attempts to cut electricity and communications around the Brazilian Embassy, which have failed so far… electricians in the resistance showed up with generators.  (By 8:30 Radio Globo was reporting that the streets around the Embassy had been blocked by taxis, pickup trucks, buses, etc. to prevent military units from moving into the area).

Radio Globo seems to be on the air, though (at 8:10 my time) there was an official announcement from the de facto government reminding people that the curfew was still in effect… which the announcers are now making fun of.  Globo is reporting that thousands have surrounded the Brazilian Embassy (where the Zelaya government has set up headquarters) but there have been mass arrests.

From what I’ve caught of TeleSURtv it also looks as if the police have joined the resistance.

IN ANOTHER VICTORY IN THE CONTINUING BATTLE FOR COMMON SENSE... the State of Guanajuato has been forced to withdraw their sex miseducation books and will be using the national curriculum for 7th grade biology and health classes.

A good day, all around.
