In celebration of blowing the West's anti-Iranian nuclear cover, the Iranians, during a war game exercise, launched TWO missiles of the medium range variety (a liquid-fueled Shahab-3 and the solid-fueled Sejil-2).
Meanwhile Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a little slow on the nuclear uptake and rambles on about Iranian Uranium ("We'll only accept full transparency... or there will be additional sanction". 'Full transparency' apparently IS the case here.) as president Obama plans to visit Copenhagen Denmark where he will pitch for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games to be held at a Chicago Illinois venue. The Competition for venues? Brazil... a country that recently chose to buy 36 fighter jets made by France's Dassault Aviation and not from U.S. Boeing Co, and who's embassy is under siege in Honduras by a coup army that until recently had been supplied by the Pentagon and fully supported by the U.S. State Department. See the next story for more.
Honduras Coup Update from CEPR: "Honduras Coup Regime Suspends Constitutional Rights, Closes Media, Threatens Brazil:"The Honduran coup leaders say they will 'close down' the Brazilian embassy if they don't turn over Honduras legitimate president holed up inside. The coup government is chemically and physically harassing the embassy and it's staff with tear gas, noxious chemicals, and LRAD acoustic weapons.
Washington, D.C. - The Honduran de facto regime suspended constitutional guarantees to civil liberties, including freedom of assembly and freedom of the press, for 45 days on the eve of mass protests planned to mark the three-month anniversary since the coup d'etat against President Manuel Zelaya took place. The regime has also shut down Radio Globo, a prominent independent media outlet that has covered anti-coup activities and that reportedly has a journalist inside the Brazilian embassy where Zelaya is staying, and TV station Channel 36.

The regime also issued an ultimatum to Brazil over the weekend, warning the Brazilian government that it has 10 days to decide what to do about Zelaya, and a regime spokesperson warned that since Brazil broke off diplomatic relations with the coup government, it could remove the flag and shield from the Brazilian embassy, making it a "private office." Brazilian President Lula da Silva rejected the threats, saying that his government "doesn't accept ultimatums from coup-plotters."

Some details:
(Xinhua) -- Ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya denounced on Friday that the country"s interim government harassed him and the people who are staying with him at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa with toxic gases.A skeptical report, and in THIS Buffalo's opinion uneducated one (the author's statement about the hows and whys of LRADS shows a certain lack of knowledge of even the most elementary physics of sound, along with other flaws in his logical assumptions) appears at TPMuckraker, which bristles at the thought that the Honduran president partially blames Israel, despite the known fact that Israel is one of the LARGEST weapons merchants in Latin America. TIME Magazine, from 1983, on the topic.
Zelaya told a press conference that the interim government was strongly harassing him and the people inside the Brazilian embassy with toxic gases and a strong noise, which has affected his health and that of the other people with him.
Zelaya showed pictures of the policemen setting the device and placing bags with the toxic liquid.
Zelaya urged the international community "to make a strong pressure, to take measure for this bombing against the embassy and our health not to continue."
Doctors who took blood samples of the people inside the Brazilian embassy said that they had a high concentration of ammoniac, hydrogen of cyanide, which blocks the breathing system, produces vomit and abdominal ache. [In Full]
More recently:
Although not nearly as important to Honduras as is the United States--which alone supplied 73 percent of the arms that Honduras imported from 1984 to 1988--Israel has also been a noteworthy provider of training and sophisticated weaponry to the Armed Forces of Honduras. A 1982 visit by a high-level Israeli delegation headed by (then) Defense Minister Ariel Sharon and Air Force General David Ivry, was followed by an increase in arms deliveries and training for Honduras. A dozen Israelis trained the Cobras (the elite counterinsurgency unit) and the personal security guards of former Honduran presidents Roberto Suazo Cordova and Jose Azcona Hoyo (see Public Security Force , this ch.). In mid-1983 the New York Times reported that significant quantities of weapons captured from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) by Israel in their 1982 invasion of Lebanon were passing through the Honduran armed forces to the Contras.
Brazil, France, Britain, and the former West Germany supplied about US$70 million worth of arms to Honduras between 1984 and 1988. The total in weapons sales deliveries from both foreign government and commercial sources was US$331.7 million during the years 1981 to 1990. [In Full]
The Obama administration is going to examine the US educational system's 'system'. According to current plans it will result in longer hours at school, weekend and night sessions, more. Currently the "Unions Criticize Obama's School Proposals as 'Bush III'"
