In December 2025 Frontier plans to connect SPS with Atlanta for as little as $100. Spirit has been flying passengers from Palmerola International Airport and SPS to Fort Lauderdale for as little as $100. Europe is also becoming more affordable as Palmerola and SPS are now home to two discount airlines <a href="https://tnh.gob.hn/nacional/air-europa-fortalece-conexion-entre-honduras-y-europa-con-nuevo-vuelo-directo-a-san-pedro-sula/" data-type="link" data-id="https://tnh.gob.hn/nacional/air-europa-fortalece-conexion-entre-honduras-y-europa-con-nuevo-vuelo-directo-a-san-pedro-sula/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">flying directly to Madrid and Barcelona</a>. Iberojet connects Honduras with Spain for around $650. Discount Air Europa flies from San Pedro Sula to Madrid for $730. Roatan’s first discount airline is Sun country that can get you to Minnesota for as little as $200.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Healthier in Honduras</h2>



<p>Honduras, while economically poor, is top notch in the Americas in a<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667193X22001119#:~:text=Overall%20cancer%20burden%20in%20LAC,:%200.75%20and%200.65%2C%20respectively." data-type="link" data-id="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667193X22001119#:~:text=Overall%20cancer%20burden%20in%20LAC,:%200.75%20and%200.65%2C%20respectively." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> leading health indicator</a>. It is the fourth healthiest country both in North and in South America as far as cancer rates are concerned. Honduras is one of the least affected by cancer countries in the Americas. Here USA leads the sad statistics with 367 annual cancer cases per 100,000, while Honduras has only 128. Only Belize, Guatemala and El Salvador have fewer cancers per person. According to the 2022 study by World Cancer Research Fund, Americans and Canadians have 300% higher cancer rates than Hondurans do. Out of 180 countries tracked, Honduras is number 128. The most infected countries are western, developed countries: Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and USA.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pre-crime Criminals</h2>



<p>Dozen countries are building a cyber prison control system that effectively will make any dissent or talking-about-dissent a punishable offence. For western societies it is a shift of paradigm from a society where an individual is presumed innocent, to where an individual is an automatic subject of pre-crime investigation by AI, social media monitoring, preventive policing and financial tracking. China already uses a combination of its cameras, social credit system, and snitching to keep their population from voicing any discontent. In Argentina, Javier Milei created an <a href="https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/a-un-ano-de-su-creacion-el-gobierno-oculta-que-funcion-cumple-la-unidad-de-inteligencia-artificial-del-ministerio-de-seguridad.phtml" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/a-un-ano-de-su-creacion-el-gobierno-oculta-que-funcion-cumple-la-unidad-de-inteligencia-artificial-del-ministerio-de-seguridad.phtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Orwellian Ministry of Security </a>that is supposed to predict the “future crimes” of typically well behaving Argentineans.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Japan turning African</h2>



<p>While European nations have been coerced to import migrant workers since 1970s, and migrants since 2000s, the low birth yet thriving economies of Japan, and South Korea have been given a pass. Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has become a tool for globalists to erode the Japanese phenotype. JAICA announced an <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/japan-africa-hometown-protests/" data-type="link" data-id="https://unseen-japan.com/japan-africa-hometown-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Africa Hometown Initiative </a>opening Japan to migrants to immigrants from Africa’s Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania. In response Japan’s authorities were contacted by huge amount of concerned Japanese. The controlled media attempted to gaslight the public calling the concerned Japanese “racist” and “xenophobic.” Japan’s population peaked in 2010 with 128 million, but the country is on track to implode to 70 million by 2060, with 40% of those Japanese being over 65 years of age.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2025 Hurricanes</h2>



<p>It is almost over and the 2025 Hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, has been the lowest in a decade. It should be a bit of a surprise as in May 2025 NOAA predicted that the years hurricane Atlantic hurricane season, had only a<a href="https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/extreme-weather-and-climate-impacts-bite-latin-america-and-caribbean" data-type="link" data-id="https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/extreme-weather-and-climate-impacts-bite-latin-america-and-caribbean"> 10% chance of a below-normal season</a>. The average Hurricane season for the past 10 years had 18 tropical storms through September and so far in 2025 there has been eight. In fact 2025 is only the third time in modern record, after 1968 and 1992, went two weeks leading to peak season without an active named storm.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digitalized Hondurans</h2>



<p>In April 2025, Honduras <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202504/tech5-to-provide-decentralized-dpi-for-honduras" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202504/tech5-to-provide-decentralized-dpi-for-honduras">signed a contract with Tech5</a>, a Swiss technology company, to create a digital ID, digital foreign resident ID, digital driving license, firearms permit and later on digital wallets. These documents are planned to be accessible via a smart phone app on a “secure digital wallet.” In poor, rural Honduras smart phones are expensive, and lost or damaged frequently. Also many Honduran police officers, already used to frequent extrusion, will likely exploit errors on smart phones, apps with bribes. This state surveillance effort, a Honduran effort to do their part in fulfilling the Agenda 2030 plan, will likely become another white elephant paid by Honduran taxpayers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: left;">United States</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">While US unemployment rate fell to 4.1% the country’s labor participation rate is at 62.7% and matching that of 1978. 95.4 Million Americans are no longer in labor force and living from savings, family aid, receiving government benefits or doing ad jobs. part time workers looking for full time jobs are considered employed. US defines its unemployed as someone who is “actively seeking work, and available to take a job.”</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Nicaragua</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">From being the safest country in Central America, Nicaragua has spiraled out of control in matter of weeks. The spark was Socialist government’s plan of raising retirement tax from 6.25% to 7%, but the fuel was the president-designate Daniel Ortega’s suppression of opposition to his third consecutive term as president. Ortega, thought by many to be suffering from Lupus, has pointed to his vice president cum wife Rosario Murillo as successor. Police through the country has fired live munitions into crowds killing over a hundred protesters in April and May. Sandinista government thug gangs have attacked protesters and many detained are tortured. The continuing protests are likely to end in a regime change, early elections or a government crackdown.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Venezuela</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">According to NY Times, American cities have a hard time catching up to the safety of many African and Middle Eastern cities. The first 45 cities listed as most dangerous are in North and South America and not a single one is in Africa or Middle East. The news outlet doesn’t consider Tripoli in Libya, Karachi in Pakistan, or Mogadishu in Somalia as dangerous, but puts two Honduran cities and four US cities in that top 45. Supposedly the most dangerous of them all is Caracas, Venezuela with 111 yearly homicides per 100,000.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Iceland</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">With its cool climate and cheap energy rates produced from geothermic power plants, Iceland has become a bitcoin miner’s paradise. Bitcoin mining is the process by which crypto currency transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, AKA block chain. Miners are rewarded with generated bitcoins that appear at a rate of 12.5 every 10 minutes. 80% of bitcoin mining cost is electricity and the activity consumes more energy than country of Ireland. If and when price of bitcoin reaches $50,000 the global energy expected to be used in bitcoin mining is estimated to increase five times, surpassing that of Egypt. While US energy costs averages 21 cents per kilowatt hour and Iceland is 11 cents. With Roatan’s energy at 35 cents and temperatures in high 90 bitcoin mining on Roatan is a losing proposition.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Japan</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Business of android is booming. After cleaning robots, fast food robots, parking security robots, vehicle driving robots, men are discovering sex robots. Animatronics talking heads with programmable personality and memory are convincing Japanese men that it is simpler to have a robot than a girlfriend. The android’s artificial intelligence allows it to respond to different scenarios initiated by the owner and it has programmable voice, humor and temperament. Japanese are purchasing these love dolls for $8,000-$20,000 each.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Syria</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">White Helmets, a pro-Syrian opposition rescue and propaganda organization, faked a Syrian government gas attack in Douma, Syria on April 7. The group placed and photographed undamaged munitions shells and bribed local kids to participate in filming footage later disguised as authentic. Within a week of this staging and with no thorough investigation Democrats and Republicans applauded president Trump decision to fire 105 tomahawk cruise missiles, costing $1.9 million apiece, on Syrian government forces as deterrent. Rand Corporation (the company constructing the tomahawk missile) stock got a bump while damage to Syrian government was limited.</p>
