<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Poland versus Germany</h3>



<p>Germany’s ruling SPD party is ready talk reparations with Poland.<a href="https://www.euronews.com/2022/10/03/poland-formally-demands-13-trillion-from-germany-in-wwii-reparations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The Polish government is demanding 6.6 trillion zlotys</a>, or 1.6 trillion US dollars, in reparations from Germany for material and humanitarian losses during the World War II. The Polish government states that a 1953 Stalinist era agreement of relinquishing all reparations claims were made under duress from pressures of the Soviet Union and are therefore are null and void. Polish side claims it never received fair compensation for the 1939-1945 war that left the country in ruins. If the compensation is paid, it would amount to $41,000 per Polish citizen, or 230% of the country’s GDP. That amount surpasses the restitution paid out to Holocaust victims and their heirs that Germany paid out in the amount of $87 billion.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gangs in Honduran Prisons</h3>



<p>On June 20, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-65969092" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">46 female inmates were massacred at a Tamara women’s prison</a> outside of Tegucigalpa. The Barrio 16 street members smuggled in guns, grenades, machetes, and flammable liquid before subduing prison guards. The female gang members then attacked a cellblock where a rival gang was housed; victims were shot, hacked with machetes, and set on fire. Honduras, with a network of 21 prisons, is making efforts at replicating neighboring El Salvador’s crackdown against gangs and gang members. El Salvador recently moved 4,000 of its 70,000 jailed gang members to Terrorism Confinement Center, a specially built maximum security prison that can hold 40,000 prisoners.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nicaragua Distances US for Iran</h3>



<p>In mid June, Iranian president <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2023/06/16/iranian-president-ebrahim-raisi-concludes-visit-to-three-latin-american-countries-with-renewed-focus-on-south-south-cooperation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ebrahim Rainsis visited Latin America’s Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba</a>. “During all these (years?), you resisted against the conspiracies of imperialism and triumphed,” said president Rainsi to the Nicaraguan parliament. “The United States wanted to paralyze our people with threats and sanctions, but it hasn’t been able to do it,” he told Nicaragua’s president Daniel Ortega. Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Nicaragua in 2007 and this visit is yet another sign of multi polarization of the region and Central America. While the Iranian president visited the most established leftist regimes in the Western Hemisphere, he was not yet invited by the new left governments that took power in Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From Volcanoes to Bitcoins</h3>



<p>El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele has presented a plan of <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/el-salvador-partnership-build-1-billion-bitcoin-mining-farm-2023-06-05/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">constructing several volcano powered energy plants devoted primarily to bitcoin mining</a>. This is a fast track project. The state owned geothermic company La Geo estimates that the country generates around 200MW, or 22%, of its energy through geothermal power. The estimates also show the capacity of increasing that to 644MW, where around 70% of El Salvador’s energy would come from volcano power. That would make the country one of the biggest bitcoin miners in the Americas. Volcano generated and geothermal energy bitcoin mining operations have been in operation since October 2021. That was just weeks after El Salvador declared bitcoin, alongside the US dollar, to be its legal tender. El Salvador abandoned its Colones for the US dollar in 2001.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">War is good for Business</h3>



<p>The Ukraine-Russia war is providing a great boom to international military manufacturing complex Black Rock and other global players. Many new types of armaments are being manufactured, and development in munitions manufacturing should maintain the war for the next decade or two as the wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. The British government is supplying depleted <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-us-will-send-depleted-uranium-munitions-to-ukraine-a-health-physicist-explains-their-military-health-and-environmental-effects-207699" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uranium ammunition to Ukraine</a>. The Biden administration is considering providing Ukraine cluster bombs that are banned by the UK, France and Germany for being too dangerous to civilians. Ukraine is deploying scatter mines that the country itself has banned. Russia has developed intercontinental nuclear “vanguard” missiles that can travel at 27 times the speed of sound, and has stationed them near the Finnish border and other locations. Iran is finishing construction of low cost Shahed kamikaze drones outside of Moscow. Iran’s drone technology comes in significant part from a captured US stealth drone, RQ-170 Sentinel.</p>

	T</span>he accepted mantra is that the US has a vastly superior justice system, a superior justice system, and a better democracy than Honduran. I disagree. The reality is much more nuanced and much more complicated.</p>



<p>Is the Honduran Court system corrupt? Yes. Is the Honduran Military penetrated by freemasons and incompetent? Yes. Is the Honduran Congress filled with inept and self-serving psychopaths? Yes.</p>



<p>The thing is that the Honduran public inherently knows that as it has kept an innate ability to discern fact from illusion. An average Honduran knows the government steals from him and tries to exploit him to one degree or another. The American public on other hand has been gradually deprived of that commonsense understanding over the last century or so. Most Americans live convinced that their government is a “great country” and that it and its many agencies: military, espionage, education “represents their interest.” That unfortunately is an illusion.</p>



<p>There are plenty of Honduran neighbors are noticing that. In March 2023, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated that “in <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/03/08/amlo-mexico-democratic-oligarch-us-meddling/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexico there is more Democracy than in the US</a>. Here people govern, there oligarchy governs.” He spoke of US military blowing up a Russian-German gas pipeline, with Germany being US’s NATO partner US should actually be protecting. He spoke of truth telling Journalist Julian Assange being viciously persecuted by the US government regardless if Obama, Trump or Biden is “in power.”</p>



<p>In November 2022, El Salvador’s president Bukele said: “<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6314760476112" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">America is being destroyed by design</a> from within because it cannot be destroyed from the outside. There is no other logical explanation.” While a Mexican president, and El Salvadors president, can afford to a degree to speak truth to power, Honduran presidents have proven themselves more of peripheral agents of the New World Order and stay silent.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>An average Honduran knows the government steals from him and tries to exploit him.</p>



<p></p>
</blockquote>



<p>Honduras’ oligarchy is transient, fortunately. Neither of the Ricardo Maduro, Mel Zelaya, Roberto Micheletti, Pepe Lobo or JOH were able to establish an apparatus that was able to survive them. One week they can be Honduran presidents, the next they are arrested and sent to jail. While to some people this reflects that Honduras is sometimes run by criminals, to others it means that even the most powerful criminals in Honduras meet their justice. That unfortunately is not the case with the US justice system and the senior deep state managers.</p>



<p>The US presidents, secretaries of State and NIH chiefs for over the century have been managers of the American Empire for supranational entities. For that, they are given lifelong protection. The US’s legal system and political system protects its deep state “senior manger,” like Kissinger, Clinton(s) or Fauci.</p>



<p>Honduras is on the peripheries of the coming new order and remains relatively free for the average citizen. Freedom in Honduras lives in the wide cracks of the Honduran government’s incompetence, inefficiency and self-service. These cracks are wide enough that many people enjoy freedom of everyday life, raising a family, running a business.</p>



<p>Freedom in Honduras comes from the inefficiency of its media, education system and the government itself. The media in Honduras is relatively small. While they fall in line with most of globalist agendas, they are more similar to local news media in US counties that occasionally get away with telling the truth.</p>



<p>The US government is not run by the American people, nor does this government have the best interest of the American people in mind. The great part of the successful capture of the American mind came via the county’s controlled media and thanks to US’s debased educational system.</p>



<p>The sad reality is that after a decade long process, practically all US institutions, from CIA and Military to USPS have been captured by interests that are not those of the American people. Who captured them is up for contention. Some people call this the deep state, the military industrial complex, the Big Pharma, international banksters, ZOG, Black Rock or family cartels of the central banks. In fact, it could be any of them, or it could be a mixture of any of them colluding, using similar strategies, sharing same owners and striving for same goals.</p>



<p>The control of the US media has a 100 year history. Texas Congressman Callaway entered into congressional record about JP Morgan interests planning and buying out 25 of the US’s leading newspapers in order to take control of the opinion of US public. In March 1915 newspaper men were employed to analyzed 179 newspapers for the purpose of “controlling the general policy of the daily press” and eventually it was decided that only the most influential 25 newspapers needed to be purchased and with it their editors and editorial policy.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/06/when-americans-lost-faith-in-the-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The control of the US media grew</a> as the media expanded into radio and television. CIA’s Operation mockingbird began in 1950 and the CIA agency has placed it agents in every major US and some international news outlets. The CIA, a praetorian guard of the deep state, has evolved from controlling the media to being the media.</p>



<p>In XXI century yet another control mechanism has entered the sway as Blackrock and Vanguard control board of directors that won media companies. “Freedom is predicated on privacy. If you have no privacy, you have no freedom,” said Fox’s News Tucker Carlson about NSA intercepting his communication about interviewing Putin before 2022 Ukraine-Russia war escalation. “Democrats are in it like Republicans.”</p>



<p>Honduras is also freer than the US as far as its military is concerned. While indeed Honduras Military has found itself a puppet of the US Military in WWII <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduras_in_World_War_II#:~:text=Honduras%20had%20declared%20war%20on,to%20establish%20formal%20diplomatic%20relations." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">declaring War on Germany in 1941 </a>and sending troops to Iraq (2003-2004) in that fiasco. Still, the military misadventures of the Honduran Military, compared to the US, have been limited to an occasional internal coup. Every 20 years on average.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Freedom in Honduras comes from the inefficiency of its media, education system and the government itself.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>The US on the other hand has become an unwilling party, engulfed in other nations quagmires at expense of blood and treasure of the average American citizen. These decisions have been made by the US not for its own sake but for the sake of another entity. US has become a vassal state waging endless and expensive wars from Libya to Syria to Iraq, allowing Israel to prosper while its enemies live in quagmires.</p>



<p>The 1998 policy report named “Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” prepared for Benjamin Netanyahu by Richard Perle outlined an approach on how to solve Israel’s security problems in Middle East. What fallowed were the CIA and US military wars in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and coups that led to destabilization of Libya, Egypt and Sudan. Israel benefits while US pays and risks it all.</p>



<p>The only way US is perceived less corrupt than Honduras is that the US has managed to legalize corruption and call it another name. US have 13,000 such corruptors disguising as “lobbyists.” Each year these lobbyists spend four billion dollars “influencing government officials.” That influence translates to de facto control. While in Honduras bribery is defined as an effort to buy power, in US’s lobbying is defined as an effort to influence it. In fact is there is little distinction between the two.</p>



<p>Often the US lobbyists go back and forth between government service and jobs at corporations which leads to a gigantic and debasing conflict of interest. There are foreign governments corrupting US officials against the interest of US citizens. There are Chinese lobbyists, Israeli lobbyists, Big Pharma and Military lobbyists. In Honduras there are no such things as registered lobbyist and things are much clearer. You either bribe someone or you don’t.</p>



<p>Transparency International ranks 180 counties in an annual Corruption Perceptions Index. The US is ranked number 24, while Honduras is 157 and tying in with Burma. That is not the reality, that is only an illusion of reality.</p>
