Honduras: The CIA Strikes

 In 2009, John went to Central America for the first time in a long time. John talked to a variety of folks. From businesses to cab drivers. Why did he go there? In 2009, there was a democratically elected president of Honduras overthrown. Manuel Zelaya 


What did John learn from the citizens? The majority of people believed the coup happened because President Zelaya had advocated for a 60 percent pay raise for employees of American companies. This was intolerable. You know what comes next. Lies, propaganda, and if needed an accident will be arranged. However, the CIA-backed coup did the job. Torrijos and Roldo should've been so lucky. 


How was a President in Central America a threat to America? Hourly rate. President Zelaya was pushing for the minimum wage to go up. This would've set a trend across countries South of the Border. There goes cheap labor. Joel made it clear to John that while memories of Americans may be short, those South of the Border isn't. He reminded John of how Teddy Roosevelt stole land from Central and South America. We've been installing dictators there since the 1950s. The irony here would be laughable if it weren't for the death toll of these dictators we put into place. And when they were no longer of use. We deposed them like it was nothing. 


In September 2010 there was an attempt on Correa (Ecuador's President). It was a coup. The military sided with Correa. He reversed his policies against big oil companies. Message sent and received. "Don't screw with the status quo."

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
