Honduras

Honduras.

This came on my radar when back in 2019 a close friend sent me a message saying she'd left her teaching position in the Amazon in Brazil because they were being advised to leave. There was nothing in the news about it. She said there was no transportation, no food stores open, no classes, no waste pick up, streets blocked, and when she decided to leave, flights were canceled. When flights were restored then she had to go with a special permit through 20 blocked checkpoints to get to the airport. That got my attention. I literally would have never known about this without her. It was never picked up here and only picked up in Spanish speaking papers in South America.

There were protests going on in Boliva. You can search Boliva Protests 2019 and find more info on those. So Boliva and Honduras come on my radar.

So right after she gets back a buddy of mine in the Army is dispatched on a "humanitarian mission" to Honduras. He said there were widespread riots there. The government was melting down.

At the same time President Trump slashed millions of dollars in foreign aid to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. He said those countries weren't doing enough to support his immigration agenda. But I think he knew something he wasn't telling publicly.

In 2009, the country’s left-of-center President Mel Zelaya was overthrown in a military coup that was heavily supported by the United States government. After six months and a lot of political repression, the coup government was re-established with an election that almost the entire hemisphere – except, you guessed it, the United States – rejected as illegitimate. sourced here: https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/10/30/obamas-betrayal-of-honduras/?utm_source=pocket_mylist

So the long and short of this is that the Obama regime kicks out the president of Honduras and installs a puppet government. The LIBRE party opposed the coup and ran but was "defeated" by Juan Orlando Hernandez. General unrest in Honduras for years but especially 2019 https://thegate.boardingarea.com/travel-alert-may-2019-civil-unrest-in-honduras/?utm_source=pocket_mylist

Now, the former president of Honduras from 2014-2022 (the puppet that was installed) has now been extradited to the United States on charges that he has been a drug trafficker for more than two decades, going back to 2000. AND Fuentes Ramírez has been convicted of drug charges after being extradited to US. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/honduran-national-geovanny-fuentes-ramirez-sentenced-life-prison-and-ordered-forfeit Ramirez and Hernandez were running massive amounts of cocaine out of Honduras.

The former Police Chief, Juan Carlos Bonilla was arrested and extradited. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/honduran-ex-police-boss-arrested-after-us-extradition-request-spokesman-2022-03-10/

Now the wife of the original president that was ousted in the coup back in 2009, Zelaya, his wife has now been elected president. Xiomara Castro was sworn in as President of Honduras back in January. At the time her statement was: ”No more death squads. No more silence in the face of femicides. No more hired killers. No more drug trafficking or organized crime,” She also announced that in the 12 years since her husband was ousted in the coup the country had been looted and faced massive debt.

After she takes office the extraditions begin.

Now they have ended ZEDE. It is a "pilot program" that created charter cities in Honduras. It is like a city within a city with its own legal framework to give a serious redux. This is a great article about it but is in favor of, which I am not. https://reason.com/2022/04/27/honduras-ends-its-experiment-with-charter-cities/ Think American taxpayer money and NGO's funding these charter cities.

Where were most of the people from in the famous migrant caravans widely used to make people emotional in media? Honduras. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/04/10/migrant-caravan-honduras-heading-u-s-southern-border-san-pedro-sula/3427004002/

There are countless stories about Honduran migrants.

So I have been following Honduras for a few years now. Definitely some noteworthy things going on in that country, especially this year. Worth noting with all of the connections back and forth to the US for all of these years.

As someone who lives near the border and has to interact in both good and bad ways with all these border jumpers, Hondurans, Guatamalans and El Salvadorians are nothing like Mexicans. Much more mixed with indigenous, much more corrupt and criminal. I liked it better when Mexico had their southern border shut so the Mexicans could get all the illegal jobs in the US.
