Zelaya’s not so fond of the accommodations at the Brazilian Embassy
We already knew that Zelaya was a Leftist with aspirations to follow the example of his buddy Chavez and usurp ever more power in his country. But until now we didn’t know that he was delusional.
How else to explain the bizarre interview he gave to the Miami Herald yesterday in which he made the following “woe is me” assertions:
He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.
“We are being threatened with death,” he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him.
When in trouble, the Left can always invoke the Israelis, those international boogie men. My guess is that Zelaya doesn’t actually believe a word he says, and is just playing to the gullible (would that include one of his major supporters, President Obama?) But if Zelaya does believe his own claims, I would add schizophrenia to the list of his non-qualifications for continuing to hold public office.
Sounds more like paranoid delusions than schizophrenia. That said, I don’t see a rational person making such stuff up, so I’m guessing it’s for real.
And the Obama administration backs another winner!
Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) notes that also “evil gnomes keep mismatching” Zelaya’s socks.
That’s probably the worst part, because it’s the thing one would have predicted.
Oops. I mean, it’s the thing no one would have predicted!
its interesting..
however if you know history and some of the work done, you can source his paranoia.
of course, it wont be made up and so it wont be liked, but its the source. one only has to read about the military and government programs in influencing people and other things like removing them from some area.
right now the police and military are using LRAD against civilians… (leftist protests have turned into a typical thing).

look at his two assertions, pretty specific, no?
i would say the sore throat is meaningless..
but sleep deprivation is not meaningless.
and the interesing one is this.
“Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation
well, i cant put a label on whom. so that is not meaningful. but notice how he is describing the radiation?
“high-frequency radiation”
what BAND is that?
thats microwave band…
back years ago when they first started playing with masers (lasers in the microwave band), though the terms have changed since then.
back then it was experimented with directing them to human skulls. you can still read the research papers. the water would heat, the bone would expand, and contract with the beam. this then would use bone conduction and amplitude modulation like in radioes to cause vioces to appear in a persons head.
tin hatters have loved this ever since. however its real, and there is absolutely no way to know if they are using somethign like that.
IF you want to think about whether he is telling the truth or not.
however, MORE LIKELY it would be a variant of the ADS system from the military (want to guess who makes it?)
here from wiki.
Riot control
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_control
Active denial systems (ADS) are a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military. The ADS directs electromagnetic radiation, specifically, high-frequency microwave radiation, at a frequency of 95 GHz, which causes a burning sensation on the subject’s skin.
Active Denial System
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
such systems allow a totalitarian government to repel people by force without hurting your means of production.
however, the device cant go through walls..
[well it can… depending on openeings and such]
The ADS works by directing electromagnetic radiation, specifically, high-frequency microwave radiation at a frequency of 95 GHz[6] (a wavelength of 3.2 mm), toward the subjects. The waves excite water molecules in the epidermis to around 130 °F (55 °C), causing an intensely painful sensation of extreme heat. While burning the skin[7][8], the burning sensation is similar to that of an incandescent light bulb being pressed against the skin.[6] The focused beam can be directed at targets at a range in excess of 700 meters.[9] The device can penetrate thick clothing, although not walls.[10]
at the link you can see a photo of this:
Closeup of a “Desk top” millimeter wave projector. This simulates the feeling of the ADS beam in a small dime-sized region.
The effects of this radio frequency on humans have been studied by the military for years, and much, but not all, of the research has been published openly in peer-reviewed journals.[16]
so again.. none of this is tin hat. its just that reasonable peopel dont learn that stuff. so they can be reasonable!!! after all, if people knew that this kind of thing was being paid for by their tax money, and that they are for controlling civilian crowds in mass, and all that.
maybe they might not convince everyone else that its tin hat or paranoid.
if you knew about thsi stuff, and you were breifed, and unlike normal peple lived in a world where people do use thsi and other nasty things.
well its not so far to make the leap of thinking you might be affected…
one thing i liked about the movie about idi amin, was how they showed that leaders of smalelr states, are at the whims of the inforamtion they get from other states intelligence agencies.
and so, small state leaders tend towards paranoia for the SAME reason angleton started losing it.
with so many agencies trying to curry favor AND manipulate, its not hard to lose touch with the common reality in ignorance people live in.
The defense contractor, Raytheon, has developed a smaller version of the ADS, named the Silent Guardian. This stripped-down model is primarily marketed for use by law enforcement agencies, the military and other security providers. The system is operated and aimed with a joystick and aiming screen. The device can be used for targets up to 550 m away.[6]
Michael Hanlon–who volunteered to experience its effects–described it as “a bit like touching a red-hot wire, but there is no heat, only the sensation of heat.” Contrary to Raytheon’s claims that the pain ceases instantly upon removal of the ray, Hanlon said that the finger he subjected “was tingling hours later.”[24]
so again… what seems easy to write off to paranoia, becomes a question not so easy to answer.
after all, wouldnt zalaya love to have such a tool? and if he did, wouldnt he think of ways he could use it? and so woulcnt that naturally lead to the possiblity that it was being used on you?
wait till the insect program gets going.
[this is a program to graft electronics or explosives to insect larvae and then be able to control them when they mature]
How cruel of the Brazilians to not provide aluminum foil hats for the President-in-exile to block the CIA, NSA and extradimensional aliens’ thoughts from his mind. I’m sure that were in not for the machinations of the Israelis and their radiation-spreading yellow elves, the Grand Lord Zelaya would still be in charge of the Galactic Empire!
Paranoid delusions aside, I think that Zelaya can deal with sleeping on a chair for a while. In most civilized countries, there are consequences for illegally trying to change to constitution upon which that nation was founded. It speaks a great deal about the Honduran people that they had him simply removed from power and exiled instead of being put up against a wall and shot. If this were a dastardly military coup, as Hugo Chavez and President Obama would have us believe, then the military would have had no qualms about executing Zelaya then and there and declaring one of the generals the new president-for-life.

by the way, the insect thing was a DARPA request a while back.
Delusional? That stuff works.
Handled properly it returns fame, fortune, Academy Awards, and Nobel Prizes.
Neatly put, Giles!
Seems to me that every Socialist ‘Leader’ has these odd moments where their reality suddenly turns into a scene from SNL or ‘The Outer Limits’. Chavez is always good for such crazed blitherings, and Zelaya is just the most recent.
Who said Leftism is a mental disorder? It sure looks like it, now, doesn’t it?
Poison gas that irritates throats. Sounds like Count Sore Throat Pain is on the job!
Artfldger,
Microwaves are not high frequency, except compared to radiowaves. Visual light is higher frequency still, and the real high frequencies are in the X-ray and Gamma ray range.
He’s a crazy bastard, not a victim.
OmegaPaladin
when a layman says high frequency.
and the papers say high frequency
i tend to repeat high frequency.
as a physics guy, i am well aware of the spectrum.
however i am also well aware of the common mans complete ignorance of physics.
and i mean complete ignorance…
in truth, these labels are stuck from the old radio era… if your young you may not know the history, and so may not know why they are erroneously named given our current understanding of the complete range of the electromagnetic spectrum
anyway… they use the radio term… so high frequency is microwaves. ie gigahertz…
and do note that i never said he wasnt a dodo.
i said that if he read the papers, he may be thinking that someone is doing that. think of it as a form of paranoid hypochondria…
and i will say he IS a victim
he is a victim of his own behavior and actions.
he coudl have easily waited, wrote a book and retired a happy man.
